About this study

Official title: Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of MP-376 Inhalation Solution Administered for 5 Days Every 28 Days to Prevent Acute Exacerbations in High Risk COPD Patients

Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) suffer from frequent and recurrent acute exacerbations (AECB) which are associated with enormous healthcare expenditures and significant morbidity, specifically an increased risk of death, a decline in pulmonary function and a significant change in quality of life. Bacteria appear to have an important role in acute exacerbations in chronic bronchitis and COPD. Studies of acute exacerbations in COPD have shown a reduction in bacterial load with prolonged exacerbation-free interval. In addition, recent studies indicate that acquisition of a new strain of H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, S. pneumoniae or P. aeruginosa are responsible for many of these exacerbations. Chronic inflammation and bacterial infection predispose many patients to frequent and recurrent acute exacerbations.

Mpex believes that intermittent administration of inhaled MP-376 in high risk patients will decrease the incidence of acute exacerbations by both by lowering the organism burden, and resultant inflammation, as well as pre-emptive eradication of any newly acquired bacterial strains.

Read the detailed description

This study will be a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MP-376 inhalation solution given daily for 5 days in a 28 day treatment cycle to COPD patients.

Study with completed results acquired from Horizon in 2024.

What is being measured

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

  1. Exacerbation Rate

    The number of acute exacerbations per patient-year of study participation, where an acute exacerbation was defined as a deterioration in respiratory symptoms that required treatment with antibiotics, corticosteroids, hospitalization or a combination of those treatments.

    Measured: From randomization to the patients final study visit (up to 12 months)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Duration of Acute Exacerbation

    From the beginning of antibiotics and/or systemic corticosteroids to the end of antibiotics and/or systemic corticosteroids, whichever was longer, for treatment of the first acute exacerbation

    Measured: from randomization to the patient's final study visit (up to 12 months)

  2. Percent Change in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)

    The percent change in the amount of air a patient can inhale

    Measured: from baseline to the conclusion of the fourth 28-day treatment cycle (4 months)

  3. Percent Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)

    The percent change in the amount of air a patient can exhale in 1 second

    Measured: from baseline to the conclusion of the fourth 28-day treatment cycle (4 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MP-376 in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Amgen at 39 sites 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 27 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 39 sites 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. 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 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 2 Mar 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?

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?

Exacerbation Rate (time frame: From randomization to the patients final study visit (up to 12 months)). 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 NCT00739648, 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 27 Dec 2024.
