About this study

Official title: A Phase IIa Dose Escalation Study to Assess Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Aurexis® in Cystic Fibrosis Subjects Chronically Colonized With Staphylococcus Aureus in Their Lungs

Patients who are at least 7 years old with stable Cystic Fibrosis who have Staphylococcus aureus in their Lungs will be enrolled into the study and receive one dose of Aurexis® intravenously on Study Day 1, and will be followed until Study Day 57. Aurexis is a humanized monoclonal antibody that is designed to combat Staphylococcus aureus.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetic profile (concentration of Aurexis in blood and sputum) of Aurexis. Additionally, certain tests and measurements will be conducted to preliminarily determine if Aurexis demonstrates any benefit to these patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Aurexis® (tefibazumab)Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the safety of a single dose of Aurexis® in stable subjects with CF who are chronically colonized with SA in their lungs

  2. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of Aurexis® in stable subjects with CF who are chronically colonized with SA in their lungs

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To evaluate the biologic and clinical effects of a single dose of Aurexis® in stable subjects with CF who are chronically colonized with SA in their lungs on:

  2. Changes in bacterial load of SA in sputum as determined by colony counts

  3. Changes in inflammatory mediators in nasal lavage fluid, breath condensate and plasma, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα.

  4. Changes in oxidant/antioxidant balance in nasal lavage, breath condensate and plasma including GSH, GSSG, redox potential, cysteine, and cystine

  5. Changes in pulmonary function tests as determined by FVC, FEV1, and FEF25-75%

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Aurexis® (tefibazumab) in people with Staphylococcus Aureus, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 1 site 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 7 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To evaluate the safety of a single dose of Aurexis® in stable subjects with CF who are chronically colonized with SA in their lungs. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Mar 2013.
