About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Multicentre, Open-label, Dose-escalating Study of Single Doses of GC1008 in Patients With Treatment Resistant Idiopathic Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)

This study will investigate whether GC1008, an antibody which neutralizes TGF-beta, is safe in treating patients with the disease called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The highest dose without excessive side effects will be investigated. Tests will determine how long GC1008 is in the body and how it is excreted.

Read the detailed description

Patients in each cohort will receive a single dose of GC1008 infusion at 1, 2, 4 or 0.3 mg/kg body weight. The higher dose cohort will not start until the first 28 days safety data for the lower dose cohort have been reviewed by the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). Cohort C and D will run concurrently with patients randomised to receive either a 4 or 0.3 mg/kg body weight dose, respectively. After receiving the infusion of GC1008 on Day 0, patients will be monitored for the 24 hours following the infusion. Patients will return periodically over the following 112 days for safety evaluations and clinical outcome assessments. Blood samples will be collected to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of single dose administration of GC1008 as well as for evaluation of markers of clinical efficacy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GC1008 in people with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 9 sites in 4 countries.

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 19 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 19 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 determine Safety and tolerability of single dose infusions of GC1008 in patients with treatment resistant idiopathic FSGS and nephrotic range proteinuria (time frame: up to 2 years). 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 19 Mar 2014.
