About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics Study of Epratuzumab in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

The goal of this study is to evaluate how epratuzumab is processed by the body (pharmacokinetics) and whether 2 dose levels of epratuzumab are safe and effective in patients with SLE.

Read the detailed description

This study is planned to provide information on how the body processes epratuzumab and how epratuzumab affects the body when epratuzumab is given once weekly for 4 weeks in a row at one of 2 different dose levels. Additional information will be obtained related to the natural variability of disease activity in SLE patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing epratuzumab in people with Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic, run by UCB Pharma at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of pharmacokinetic samples for epratuzumab levels and evaluation of adverse events, infusion reactions and other safety parameters.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00113971, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Apr 2012.
