What is being measured

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

  1. The safety and tolerability of MEDI-546 will be assessed primarily by summarizing treatment-emergent AEs and SAEs.

    Measured: Study Day 84 for single-dose; Study Day 105 for multi-dose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary endpoints of the study are to assess the PK, IM, and PD of single and multiple IV doses of MEDI-546 in adult subjects with scleroderma.

    Measured: Study Day 84 for single-dose; Study Day 105 for multi-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MEDI-546 in people with Scleroderma, run by MedImmune LLC at 11 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 43 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 8 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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. 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?

The safety and tolerability of MEDI-546 will be assessed primarily by summarizing treatment-emergent AEs and SAEs. (time frame: Study Day 84 for single-dose; Study Day 105 for multi-dose). 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 NCT00930683, 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 8 May 2012.
