About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Pharmacodynamic Study to Evaluate the Effect of Sotatercept (ACE-011) on Red Blood Cell Mass and Plasma Volume in Subjects With Solid Tumors

What hematopoietic precursor compartments as well as hemoglobin subtypes are affected by dosing with sotatercept (ACE-011)? Based upon a similar prior study with Procrit, Celgene has determined that all of these goals could be obtained by an intense 10-patient sotatercept (ACE-011) pharmacodynamic study, completed by two well-known experts in the red cell production field.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Red Blood Cell Mass Following a Single Dose of Sotatercept

    Blood samples were to be collected at baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at one timepoint between Day 14 and Day 28, and isotope dilution techniques used, to measure the change from baseline in red blood cell mass following a single dose of sotatercept.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and one timepoint between Day 14 and Day 28

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change From Baseline in Plasma Volume Following a Single Dose of Sotatercept

    Blood samples were collected at baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at one timepoint between Day 14 and Day 28, and isotope dilution techniques used, to measure the change from baseline in plasma volume following a single dose of sotatercept.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and one timepoint between Day 14 and Day 28

  2. Change From Baseline in Absolute Reticulocyte Count

    Blood samples were to be collected at baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at Day 211 to measure the change from baseline in absolute reticulocyte count.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and Day 211

  3. Change From Baseline in Erythropoietin Levels

    Blood samples were collected at baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and at Day 211 to measure the change from baseline in erythropoietin levels.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and Day 211

  4. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin Subtype A Following a Single Dose of Sotatercept

    Blood samples were collected at baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and on Day 29, and hemoglobin electrophoresis used, to measure the change from baseline in hemoglobin subtype A following a single dose of sotatercept.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and Day 29

  5. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin Subtype A2 Following a Single Dose of Sotatercept

    Blood samples were collected at baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and on Day 29, and hemoglobin electrophoresis used, to measure the change from baseline in hemoglobin subtype A2 following a single dose of sotatercept.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and Day 29

  6. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin Subtype C Following a Single Dose of Sotatercept

    Blood samples were collected at baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and on Day 29, and hemoglobin electrophoresis used, to measure the change from baseline in hemoglobin subtype C following a single dose of sotatercept.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and Day 29

  7. Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product.

    Measured: Up to approximately 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sotatercept in people with Solid Tumors, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 3 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Nov 2023). 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?

Change From Baseline in Red Blood Cell Mass Following a Single Dose of Sotatercept (time frame: Baseline (Day 1, pre-dose) and one timepoint between Day 14 and Day 28). 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 NCT01190644, 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 29 Nov 2023.
