About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of AMG 811 in Subjects With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus With and Without Glomerulonephritis

This is a 2-part, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose escalation study, enrolling approximately 48 subjects. Part A of the study will enroll subjects with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) without Glomerulonephritis (GN) into 3 cohorts. Part B of the study will enroll SLE subjects with GN into 3 cohorts. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the multiple dose of AMG 811 on safety. Tolerability and pharmacokinetics.

Read the detailed description

Part A of the study will enroll SLE without GN (non-renal) subjects into 3 cohorts (6 AMG 811: 2 placebo). All subjects will receive a dose of AMG 811 or placebo every 4 weeks beginning with Day 1 (D1) for a total of 3 injections. Subjects will be followed through to study day 197, 5 months from the last dose of study medication.

Part B of the study will enroll SLE subjects with GN into Cohorts 4, 5, and 6 (6 AMG 811: 2 placebo). Similar to Part A, subjects in Cohorts 4, 5, and 6 will be dosed every 4 weeks with AMG 811 or placebo for a total of 3 injections followed by a 5 month follow-up period. For Cohort 6, subjects will be followed by a 6 month follow-up period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AMG 811 in people with Nephritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by Amgen at 12 sites in 5 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 13 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 15 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, France, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mexico. 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 evaluation: Subject incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events, clinically significant changes in vital signs, physical examination endpoints, clinical laboratory safety tests, ECGs and the development of anti-AMG811 antibodies (time frame: 197 days). 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 NCT00818948, 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 15 Sep 2014.
