Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 12 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male and/or female subjects ≥12 to < 18 years of age (for Cohorts 1, 2, and 3 as indicated in the study design).
  • Male and/or non-reproductive female subjects between 18 and 50 years of age, inclusive (for cohort 4).
  • Females of non-reproductive potential must have documented medical history (ie, postmenopausal by history - no menses for 1 year - and follicle-stimulating hormone value (FSH) consistent with postmenopausal status per laboratory ranges; OR history of hysterectomy; OR history of bilateral tubal ligation; OR history of bilateral oophorectomy).
  • Females of child-bearing potential and females who cannot document non-reproductive potential must agree to use highly effective methods of birth control for the duration of the study and for 2 weeks after study drug administration. Males whose partners are of child bearing potential must agree to use highly effective methods of birth control for the duration of the study and continuing for 12 weeks after study drug administration. Highly effective methods of birth control (i.e., those with a failure rate of less than 1% per year) include sexual abstinence (males, females), vasectomy or a condom supplemented with the use of a spermicide (males) and occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps), hormonal birth control, or intrauterine device (IUD) used by the female partner.
  • Male subjects whose partners become pregnant during the study must practice sexual abstinence or use a condom with spermicide for two weeks following study drug administration to ensure the unborn child is not potentially exposed to AMG 853 via semen. The pregnant partner information will be reported to Amgen per the Pregnancy Notification Worksheet.
  • Intermittent or mild to moderate persistent asthma for the past 3 months (as defined by the 2004 Global Initiative for Asthma [GINA] guidelines).
Show all 10Show fewer
  • On a stable pharmacologic regimen for the treatment of asthma for at least 3 months prior to study enrollment and does not anticipate any change to the regimen during the course of the study.
  • Forced Expiry Volume in 1 second (FEV1) at screening visit ≥ 70% of predicted normal value (without aid of bronchodilator).
  • FEV1 reversibility greater than or equal to 12% from baseline within 30 minutes of inhaled (up to 400 μg) or nebulized (up to 5 mg) albuterol at the office screening visit. Subjects unable to demonstrate reversibility during screening, must provide the most recent evidence of documented reversibility to the Amgen Medical Monitor and the principal investigator for review.
  • Clinically acceptable physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory test values for the population tested. Any abnormal clinical laboratory results and/or ECG values must be discussed with the Sponsor.

Who cannot join

  • History or evidence of clinically significant disorder, condition or disease that, in the opinion of the investigator or Amgen physician, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion.
  • Experienced an asthma exacerbation (defined as a disease episode resulting in treatment in an emergency room or urgent care facility, or an episode treated with oral corticosteroids) during the 3 months prior to study enrollment.
  • Hospitalized for asthma during the 6 months prior to study enrollment; or ever intubated for the treatment of asthma.
  • Use of oral corticosteroids within 3 months prior to study enrollment.
  • Evidence of recent (within 2 weeks of study enrollment) or current signs or symptoms of an upper respiratory infection (eg, viral, bacterial).

  • Use of any over-the-counter or prescription medications (specifically including, but not limited to antacids, H2- blockers, and proton pump inhibitors, aspirin or other NSAIDS within 28 days of dosing. Acetaminophen (up to 2 g per day) for analgesia and hormone replacement therapy (eg, estrogen) will be allowed.
  • Use of any known inhibitors of CYP3A4/P-gp such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, HIV protease inhibitors, nefazadone, cyclosporine, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, and clarithromycin within 14 days or 5 half lives, whichever is longer; or grapefruit juice or grapefruit containing products within 7 days prior to investigational product administration.
  • Use of any known CYP inducers such as rifampin, oral corticosteroids, or anticonvulsants within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before investigational product administration.
  • All herbal medicines (eg, St. John's Wort), vitamins, and supplements consumed by the subject within 30 days prior to the first dose of investigational product, and continued use if appropriate, will be reviewed by the Principal Investigator and the Amgen Medical Monitor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 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 10 inclusion and 31 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 4 Mar 2014. 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?

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?

Evaluation of treatment-emergent adverse events, safety and laboratory assessments in adolescent subjects with intermittent or mild to moderate asthma as a measure of safety and tolerability (time frame: Throughout the study duration). 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 4 Mar 2014.
