About this study

Official title: A Phase 2a, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose-escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Multiple-dose Subcutaneous Administration of MEDI-563, a Humanized Anti-interleukin-5 Receptor Alpha Monoclonal Antibody, in Adults With Asthma

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating multiple subcutaneous (SC) doses of MEDI-563 in adult subjects with asthma.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to Day 161 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 161

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax) for Benralizumab

    Measured: Day 0, 1, 7, 28, 35, 56, 84, 112, and 161

  2. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) for Benralizumab

    Measured: Day 0, 1, 7, 28, 35, 56, 84, 112, and 161

  3. Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC [0-infinity]) for Benralizumab

    Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time-zero extrapolated to infinity postdose.

    Measured: Day 0, 1, 7, 28, 35, 56, 84, 112, and 161

  4. Terminal Phase Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) for Benralizumab

    Terminal phase elimination half-life (t1/2) is the time measured for the serum concentration to decrease by one half.

    Measured: Day 0, 1, 7, 28, 35, 56, 84, 112, and 161

  5. Number of Participants Exhibiting Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) to Benralizumab at Any Visit

    Measured: Day 0, 28, 56, 84, 112, and 161

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Benralizumab 25 mg, Benralizumab 100 mg and Benralizumab 200 mg in people with Asthma, run by MedImmune LLC at 6 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 10 inclusion and 21 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 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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 27 Dec 2019). 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?

Number of Participants Reporting Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) (time frame: Day 0 to Day 161). 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 27 Dec 2019.
