Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Is male or female aged 18 through 75 years.
  • Has Crohn's disease diagnosed definitively prior to Screening (based upon clinical, endoscopic, radiologic imaging, or histological assessments).
  • Has a CDAI score of 220 to 450, inclusive at Baseline.

Who cannot join

  • Has any clinically significant disease (eg, renal, hepatic, neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrinologic, psychiatric, hematologic, urologic, or other acute or chronic illness) that in the opinion of the investigator would make the subject an unsuitable candidate for this study.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Pilot Study of the Oral IL-12/23 Inhibitor, STA-5326 Mesylate, to Investigate Peripheral Blood and Mucosal Mononuclear Cell Phenotype and Cytokine Responses in Patients With Crohn's Disease

STA-5326 is an oral experimental drug that has been shown to block the release of interleukin-12 from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Given this activity on the immune system, STA-5326 mesylate is a potential treatment for various autoimmune diseases, such as Crohn's disease, that are mediated by the inappropriate expression of Th1 cytokines.

This study is evaluating the use of STA-5326 mesylate in patients with moderate to severe, active Crohn's disease. Study visits include a screening visit, 4 treatment period visits over 4 weeks and a follow-up visit that will occur 7 days following the end of treatment. Subjects may continue treatment for an additional 4 weeks of open label STA-5326 mesylate administration that includes an additional 2 treatment period visits. Subjects will undergo a colonoscopy with biopsy collection at baseline, at the end of the 4 week blinded phase and at the end of the 4 week open label phase.

What participants receive

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

  • STA-5326 mesylateDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure the changes from predose in peripheral blood and mucosal cytokines in subjects with active CD after administration of STA-5326 mesylate or placebo for 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. To measure changes in other immunologic parameters.

  2. To explore the level of cell-surface markers and specific gene expression patterns.

  3. To measure changes in laboratory surrogate efficacy markers.

  4. To measure the proportion of subjects in clinical remission at Day 29.

  5. To measure the proportion of subjects with a clinical response at Day 29.

  6. To measure the proportion of subjects with both clinical remission and clinical response at Day 29.

  7. To confirm STA-5326 mesylate (and metabolite) levels in blood following oral administration to CD patients.

  8. To measure the changes in endoscopic scores from Baseline to Day 29.

  9. To measure the changes in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire overall score from Baseline to Day 29.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing STA-5326 mesylate in people with Crohn's Disease, run by Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 4 Dec 2008. 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 measure the changes from predose in peripheral blood and mucosal cytokines in subjects with active CD after administration of STA-5326 mesylate or placebo for 4 weeks. 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 4 Dec 2008.
