What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability as described by the incidence and severity of adverse events [AEs], clinical laboratory parameters and vital signs.

    Measured: throughout the study

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Requirement for the use of pre-medication, including the timing, type and dose required.

    Measured: throughout study

  2. Pharmacodynamics (B-cell depletion and re-population) as measured by CD-19 peripheral blood B- lymphocyte count via routine fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis.

    Measured: throughout study

  3. PK/PD parameters including estimation of time to re-population of CD-19 peripheral blood B-cells to above LLQ (and/or <95% depletion) following single subcutaneous dose of Ofatumumab.

    Measured: throughout study

  4. Immunogenicity as measured by the incidence, titre and type of human anti-human antibody (HAHA) immune response.

    Measured: throughout study

  5. Other pharmacodynamic/biomarkers of disease activity and immune status may include high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), B-Lymphocyte Stimulator (BLyS/BAFF), B-Lymphocyte Chemokine (BLC), IL-6,

    Measured: throughout study

  6. Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM), Complement (CH50, C3, C4), IgM Rheumatoid Factor (IgM-RF), IgA-RF and IgG-RF, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (aCCP),

    Measured: throughout study

  7. serum amyloid A (SAA), CD-3+, CD-4+ and CD-8+ lymphocytes or other biomarkers, as data permit.

    Measured: throughout study

  8. Pharmacodynamics (B-cell depletion and re-population) as measured by CD-19 peripheral blood B- lymphocyte count via routine FACS analysis.Other Secondary Endpoints

    Measured: throughout study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ofatumumab in people with Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 17 sites in 9 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 6 inclusion and 22 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 26 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in Australia, Russia, United States, Belgium, France and 4 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Safety and tolerability as described by the incidence and severity of adverse events [AEs], clinical laboratory parameters and vital signs. (time frame: throughout the study). 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 NCT00686868, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Jun 2017.
