What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CEP-37251Drug

    up to 5 subcutaneous (sc) doses (given sequentially in cohort groups) of CEP-37251 (0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 mg/kg) will be studied. After all 5 sc doses have been studied, an intravenous (iv) dose of 0.3 mg/kg will be studied.

  • PlaceboDrug

    up to 5 subcutaneous (sc) doses (given sequentially in cohort groups) of Placebo (0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 mg/kg) will be studied. After all 5 sc doses have been studied, an intravenous (iv) placebo dose of 0.3 mg/kg will be studied.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CEP-37251 in people with Bone Loss and Osteoporosis, run by Cephalon at 1 site in Australia.

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 6 inclusion and 35 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study has been stopped by sponsor decision). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Characterize the Overall Safety Assessment of CEP-37251 (time frame: 70 days). 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 12 May 2014.
