What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Serious adverse events were any events that were fatal, were life-threatening (placed the participant at immediate risk of death), required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, were congenital anomalies or birth defects, or were other significant medical hazards.

    Relatedness to investigational product was assessed by the investigator by means of the question: "Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the investigational product?'

    Measured: Adverse events were collected from the first dose of treatment up until day 29 for the 0.1 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg SC treatment groups, up to 57 days for the 1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg IV/SC groups and for up to 85 days for the 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg SC/IV groups.

  2. Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-romosozumab Antibodies

    Binding anti-romosozumab antibody titers were assessed using a validated electrochemiluninescence (ECL) immunoassay. The limit of detection for this assay was 3.91 ng/mL of anti-romosozumab antibody in neat serum. Samples found to be positive for binding antibodies were further tested using a validated bioassay to determine if the antibodies were able to neutralize the activity of romosozumab. The limit of detection for this assay was ≥ 0.75 μg/mL.

    Measured: Day 29 (all participants), day 57 (1, 3, 5, and 10 mg/kg treatment groups only) and at day 85 (5 and 10 mg/kg teatment groups only).

Secondary outcomes (30)
  1. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Romosozumab

    Measured: Predose up to day 29 for participants receiving 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg romosozumab, up to day 57 for participants receiving 1 or 3 mg/kg romosozumab, and up to day 85 for participants receiving 5 or 10 mg/kg romosozumab.

  2. Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Romosozumab

    Measured: Predose up to day 29 for participants receiving 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg romosozumab, up to day 57 for participants receiving 1 or 3 mg/kg romosozumab, and up to day 85 for participants receiving 5 or 10 mg/kg romosozumab.

  3. Initial Concentration Following IV Administration (C0) of Romosozumab

    Measured: Day 1 at the end of infusion

  4. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity for Romosozumab

    Measured: Predose up to day 29 for participants receiving 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg romosozumab, up to day 57 for participants receiving 1 or 3 mg/kg romosozumab, and up to day 85 for participants receiving 5 or 10 mg/kg romosozumab.

    Measured: Predose up to day 29 for participants receiving 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg romosozumab, up to day 57 for participants receiving 1 or 3 mg/kg romosozumab, and up to day 85 for participants receiving 5 or 10 mg/kg romosozumab.

  6. Half-life Associated With the Beta (Plateau) Phase of Elimination for Romosozumab

    The plateau (beta, β) phase half-life (t½,β) was calculated from the natural log of 2 divided by the beta phase rate constant (λβ). λβ for a subject was estimated by linear regression of at least 3 contiguous time points that followed the Cmax and constituted a distinct phase that preceded the terminal phase.

    Measured: Predose up to day 29 for participants receiving 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg romosozumab, up to day 57 for participants receiving 1 or 3 mg/kg romosozumab, and up to day 85 for participants receiving 5 or 10 mg/kg romosozumab.

  7. Half-life Associated With the Gamma (Terminal) Phase of Elimination for Romosozumab

    The terminal (gamma, γ) phase half-life (t½,γ) was calculated from the natural log of 2 divided by the terminal rate constant (λz).

    Measured: Predose up to day 29 for participants receiving 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg romosozumab, up to day 57 for participants receiving 1 or 3 mg/kg romosozumab, and up to day 85 for participants receiving 5 or 10 mg/kg romosozumab.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Romosozumab in people with Osteopenia, 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 4 inclusion and 25 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 5 Jul 2019. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jul 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 With Adverse Events (time frame: Adverse events were collected from the first dose of treatment up until day 29 for the 0.1 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg SC treatment groups, up to 57 days for the 1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg IV/SC groups and for up to 85 days for the 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg SC/IV groups.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01059435, 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 5 Jul 2019.
