What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objective is to determine if AMG 853 is effective compared with placebo as measured by change in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) composite symptoms scores from baseline to week 12.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evaluate the efficacy of AMG 853 as measured by use of rescue short-acting β-agonist (SABA)

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  2. Evaluate the efficacy of AMG 853 as measured by daily symptom score (aggregate/night and individual symptoms; and symptom free days)

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  3. Evaluate the efficacy of AMG 853 as measured by pre- and post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  4. Evaluate the efficacy of AMG 853 as measured by AM and PM peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  5. Evaluate the efficacy of AMG 853 as measured by asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ)

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AMG 853 in people with Asthma, run by Amgen.

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 5 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 23 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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 primary objective is to determine if AMG 853 is effective compared with placebo as measured by change in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) composite symptoms scores from baseline to week 12. (time frame: Baseline to Week 12). 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 NCT01018550, 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 23 Mar 2016.
