What is being measured

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

  1. The safety and tolerability of MEDI-545 will be assessed primarily by summarizing AEs and by assessing changes in viral cultures and titers.

    Measured: Through Study Day 350.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary endpoints of this study are the PK and IM of multiple IV doses of MEDI-545. PK parameters, such as peak concentration.

    Measured: Study day 350.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MEDI 545 in people with Lupus, run by MedImmune LLC at 23 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 8 inclusion and 28 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 11 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in United States, Argentina, Brazil, Chile. 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?

The safety and tolerability of MEDI-545 will be assessed primarily by summarizing AEs and by assessing changes in viral cultures and titers. (time frame: Through Study Day 350.). 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 NCT00482989, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 11 Jul 2012.
