About this study
Official title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Multicenter, Dose-finding Trial of Ofatumumab in Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) Patients
The trial consists of a dose escalation, to establish the safety of ofatumumab in RRMS patients. A 48-week treatment period followed by an individualized follow-up period until normalization of peripheral B-cell counts or Immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels.
Read the detailed description
The trial consists of two phases, a 48 week treatment period, followed by an individualized treatment period of up to two years.
Patients are treated in cohorts of increasing doses (100 mg, 300 mg and 700 mg) with 12 patients in each dose cohort. Within each cohort patients are randomized asymmetrically in a 2:1 ratio such that eight patients will receive ofatumumab and four patients will receive placebo. After 24 weeks the patients randomized to placebo will be treated with the active dose for the cohort. For blinding purposes, patients randomized to the active dose will be treated with placebo after 24 weeks. Thus, each patient will receive two administrations of trial product with 24 weeks follow-up resulting in a total treatment period of 48 weeks duration. An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will review and evaluate the safety data of each cohort, a minimum of 4 weeks data including the week 4 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) from at least 10 patients, to consider if progression to the next higher dose cohort is acceptable.
The trial product is administered as two infusions separated by two weeks. Clinical assessment and Gadolinium enhanced (Gd-enhanced) MRI scan will be performed at weeks -4, 0, 2, 4, and every 4 weeks until week 48. The MRI scan at week 2 is carried out for safety assessment prior to administering the second infusion in the first treatment course. When patients in all dose cohorts have been dosed and have had week 4 MRI scans performed, an IDMC will review all available safety data.
After completion of week 48 patients will be followed to monitor B-cell and IgG normalization. B-cell levels will be monitored every 12 weeks until CD19+ cells have returned to baseline level (Visit 3) or normalized level. If the B-cell levels are not normalized after two years the patient should be followed until either the IgG or the B-cell levels are normalized (see Section 9.2.4 for details). During this period Gd-enhanced MRI follow up scans will be performed every 12 weeks to evaluate potential rebound, safety and for Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) monitoring.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event
An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A list of all adverse events is reported in the "Other (Non-Serious) Adverse Events" section. Non-serious AEs were not collected during the Individualized Follow-up Period.
Measured: First Treatment Period (FTP): From Visit 3 (Week 0) up to Visit 10 (Week 24); Second Treatment Period (STP): From Visit 10 (Week 24) up to Visit 17 (Week 48); IFUP: up to Visit 26 (Week 104)
Number of Participants With the Indicated Critical Adverse Events (CAEs)
A CAE=treatment-related (TR) grade (G) >=3 AE on day of infusion (inf.) preventing inf. to be resumed, a TR G 3 bronchospasm during 1 inf., an AE whose severity becomes G 3 for the third time during 1 inf., infections reported as serious, a TR neurological event consistent with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), any malignancy, and any fatal adverse drug reaction. AE severity (assessed as G 1-5) was classified using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0: G 1=mild AE; G 2=moderate AE; G 3=severe AE; G 4=life-threatening or disabling AE; G 5=death related to AE.
Measured: FTP: From Visit 3 (Week 0) up to Visit 10 (Week 24); STP: From Visit 10 (Week 24) up to Visit 17 (Week 48); IFUP: up to Visit 26 (Week 104)
Number of Participants With Negative or Unconfirmed Human Anti-human Antibodies (HAHA) in Which Concentrations of Ofa Were Below 500 Nanograms Per Milliliter (ng/ml)
Participants are checked for negative (or a lack of) HAHA at Baseline, and then throughout the study, to ensure that the investigational product is not causing HAHA development. Participants with concentrations of Ofa that are missing or are above 500 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) are considered to have unconfirmed HAHA results.

Change From Baseline (Week 0 for the FTP and Week 24 for the STP) in Temperature at Week 24 (FTP) and Week 48 (STP)
The temperature of each participant was assessed prior to infusion. Change from Baseline (Week 0 for the FTP and Week 24 for the STP) was calculated as the value at Visit 10 (Week 24) for the FTP and the value at Visit 17 (Week 48) for the STP minus the value at Baseline.
Measured: FTP: Visit 3 (Week 0) and Visit 10 (Week 24); STP: Visit 10 (Week 24) and Visit 17 (Week 48)
Change From Baseline (Week 0 for the FTP and Week 24 for the STP) in Complement Activation (CH50) at Week 24 (FTP) and Week 48 (STP)
Blood samples of participants were collected for CH50 prior to and 2 hours after dosing, and the samples were sent to a Central Laboratory for analysis: Bio Analytical Research Corporation (BARC). Change from Baseline (Week 0 for the FTP; Week 24 for the STP) was calculated as the value at Weeks 24 (FTP) and 48 (STP) minus the value at Baseline. Ofa depletes (induces the cell death of) B cells. When Ofa binds to a B cell, it induces complement CH50, which in turn causes cell death via cytotoxicity. Therefore, the CH50 levels were measured to ensure that CH50 was being appropriately activated.
Measured: FTP: Visit 3 (Week 0) and Visit 10 (Week 24); STP: Visit 10 (Week 24) and Visit 17 (Week 48)
Secondary outcomes (9)
Number of the Indicated Types of Lesions (Ls) Assessed Per Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
The MRI scan was performed prior to dosing and could be performed up to 4 days prior to Visits 3 and 10. An IDMC reviewed the data. T1 enhancing Ls are enhanced by gadolinium, are considered representative of disease activity/inflammation, and may signify a relapse. Measurement of these Ls is comparative from visit to visit. "Total T1 enhancing Ls" represent the total of the new T1 enhancing Ls over the entire study period. T2 L measurements measure all Ls on the brain in terms of volume and size, measuring for new or enlarging Ls. T1 hypointensive Ls are areas of permanent damage.
Measured: FTP: From Visit 3 (Week 0) up to Visit 10 (Week 24); STP: From Visit 10 (Week 24) up to Visit 17 (Week 48); IFUP: up to Visit 26 (Week 104)
Total Volume of T2 Lesions at Week 24 and Week 48
The MRI scan should be performed prior to dosing and can be performed up to 4 days prior to Visits 3 and 10. An IDMC reviewed the data. The volume of T2 lesions was not a cumulative volume, but the volume measured at Visit 10 and Visit 17. T2 lesion measurements measure all lesions on the brain in terms of volume and size, measuring for new lesions or enlarging lesions.
Measured: Visit 10 (Week 24) and Visit 17 (Week 48)
Ofa Drug Concentration After the First (Visit 3), Second (Visit 4), Third (Visit 10), and Fourth (Visit 11) Intravenous (i.v.) Infusions
The peripheral blood for each participant was collected and analyzed for the concentration of the drug in serum. There were four infusions in the study; the third infusion at Visit 10 represents the first infusion of the second treatment period (Weeks 24-48). Data are presented for the predose concentrations.
Measured: Visit 3 (Week 0), Visit 4 (Week 2), Visit 10 (Week 24), and Visit 11 (Week 26). Samples were drawn predose, immediately following the end of infusion, 10 minutes after infusion, 1 hour after infusion, and 2 hours after infusion.
The Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) After the First (Visit 3), Second (Visit 4), Third (Visit 10), and Fourth (Visit 11) i.v. Infusions
The peripheral blood for each participant was collected and analyzed for Cmax after the first, second, third, and fourth i.v. infusions. Assessment was performed using the noncompartmental method (this analysis is highly dependent on the estimation of total drug exposure).
Measured: Visit 3 (Week 0), Visit 4, (Week 2), Visit 10 (Week 24), and Visit 11 (Week 26). Samples were drawn predose, immediately following the end of infusion, 10 minutes after infusion, 1 hour after infusion, and 2 hours after infusion.
The Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Time Point (AUC(0-t)) After the First (Visit 3), Second (Visit 4), Third (Visit 10), and Fourth (Visit 11) i.v. Infusions
The peripheral blood for each participant was collected and analyzed to estimate the area under the plasma concetration-time curve, AUC(0-t), and was assessed using the non-compartmental method.
Measured: Visit 3 (Week 0), Visit 4 (Week 2), Visit 10 (Week 24), and Visit 11 (Week 26). Samples were drawn predose, immediately following the end of infusion, 10 minutes after infusion, 1 hour (hr) after infusion, and 2 hours after infusion.
Time to Reach Cmax (Tmax) After the First (Visit 3), Second (Visit 4), Third (Visit 10), and Fourth (Visit 11) i.v. Infusions
The peripheral blood for each participant was collected and analyzed for tmax.
Measured: Visit 3 (Week 0), Visit 4 (Week 2),Visit 10 (Week 24), and Visit 11 (Week 26). Samples were drawn predose, immediately following the end of infusion, 10 minutes after infusion, 1 hour after infusion, and 2 hours after infusion.
Clearance of Ofa Over the Course of Weeks 0-2 and 24-26
The peripheral blood for each participant was collected and analyzed for clearance. Clearance is the measure of efficiency with which a drug is irreversibly removed form the body. The average clearance over the course of Weeks 0-2 and 24-26 is reported.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The trial consists of a dose escalation, to establish the safety of ofatumumab in RRMS patients. A 48-week treatment period followed by an individualized follow-up period until normalization of peripheral B-cell counts or Immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels.
Detailed description
The trial consists of two phases, a 48 week treatment period, followed by an individualized treatment period of up to two years.
Patients are treated in cohorts of increasing doses (100 mg, 300 mg and 700 mg) with 12 patients in each dose cohort. Within each cohort patients are randomized asymmetrically in a 2:1 ratio such that eight patients will receive ofatumumab and four patients will receive placebo. After 24 weeks the patients randomized to placebo will be treated with the active dose for the cohort. For blinding purposes, patients randomized to the active dose will be treated with placebo after 24 weeks. Thus, each patient will receive two administrations of trial product with 24 weeks follow-up resulting in a total treatment period of 48 weeks duration. An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will review and evaluate the safety data of each cohort, a minimum of 4 weeks data including the week 4 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) from at least 10 patients, to consider if progression to the next higher dose cohort is acceptable.
The trial product is administered as two infusions separated by two weeks. Clinical assessment and Gadolinium enhanced (Gd-enhanced) MRI scan will be performed at weeks -4, 0, 2, 4, and every 4 weeks until week 48. The MRI scan at week 2 is carried out for safety assessment prior to administering the second infusion in the first treatment course. When patients in all dose cohorts have been dosed and have had week 4 MRI scans performed, an IDMC will review all available safety data.
After completion of week 48 patients will be followed to monitor B-cell and IgG normalization. B-cell levels will be monitored every 12 weeks until CD19+ cells have returned to baseline level (Visit 3) or normalized level. If the B-cell levels are not normalized after two years the patient should be followed until either the IgG or the B-cell levels are normalized (see Section 9.2.4 for details). During this period Gd-enhanced MRI follow up scans will be performed every 12 weeks to evaluate potential rebound, safety and for Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) monitoring.

An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A list of all adverse events is reported in the "Other (Non-Serious) Adverse Events" section. Non-serious AEs were not collected during the Individualized Follow-up Period.
Number of Participants With the Indicated Critical Adverse Events (CAEs)
Time frame: FTP: From Visit 3 (Week 0) up to Visit 10 (Week 24); STP: From Visit 10 (Week 24) up to Visit 17 (Week 48); IFUP: up to Visit 26 (Week 104)
A CAE=treatment-related (TR) grade (G) >=3 AE on day of infusion (inf.) preventing inf. to be resumed, a TR G 3 bronchospasm during 1 inf., an AE whose severity becomes G 3 for the third time during 1 inf., infections reported as serious, a TR neurological event consistent with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), any malignancy, and any fatal adverse drug reaction. AE severity (assessed as G 1-5) was classified using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0: G 1=mild AE; G 2=moderate AE; G 3=severe AE; G 4=life-threatening or disabling AE; G 5=death related to AE.

Blood samples of participants were collected for CH50 prior to and 2 hours after dosing, and the samples were sent to a Central Laboratory for analysis: Bio Analytical Research Corporation (BARC). Change from Baseline (Week 0 for the FTP; Week 24 for the STP) was calculated as the value at Weeks 24 (FTP) and 48 (STP) minus the value at Baseline. Ofa depletes (induces the cell death of) B cells. When Ofa binds to a B cell, it induces complement CH50, which in turn causes cell death via cytotoxicity. Therefore, the CH50 levels were measured to ensure that CH50 was being appropriately activated.

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 9 inclusion and 55 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 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Dec 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
