About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of BG00012 Administered With and Without 325 mg Aspirin in Healthy Adult Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of different doses and dosing regimens of BG00012 administered with and without ASA compared to placebo

Read the detailed description

Preclinical safety margins for BG00012 allow for a maximum daily dose of 720 mg daily. The study will use a variety of clinical scales, including a flushing scale derived from a validated questionnaire [Norquist 2007], to better understand the safety and tolerability of several doses and dosing regimens of BG00012 up to a total daily dose of 720 mg. The etiology of BG00012-induced flushing will be assessed by collecting relevant biomarker data and the impact of ASA on flushing will be evaluated. Assessments relating to GI symptoms will also be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. • incidence of treatment emergent AEs

    Measured: 11 days

  2. • incidence of serious AEs (SAEs)

    Measured: 11 days

  3. • clinical laboratory assessments:

    Measured: 11 days

  4. • Concentration versus time data for BG00012 (as measured by monomethyl fumarate (MMF), will be collected for each treatment group. Plasma PK parameters will include AUC, Cmax, time to maximum plasma concentration, half life & lagtime.

    Measured: 11 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. • incidence, severity, and duration (time of onset until time of resolution) of flushing based on flushing severity measurements.

    Measured: 11 days

  2. • Incidence, severity, duration, and characteristics of GI events

    Measured: 11 days

  3. • concentrations of PGD2 and/or its metabolites in plasma and/or urine and other prostaglandins, as well as other biomarkers in plasma and/or urine

    Measured: 11 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dimethyl Fumarate (BG00012) and Aspirin in people with Healthy, run by Biogen at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 Aug 2023. 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 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. 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?

• incidence of treatment emergent AEs (time frame: 11 days). The study lists 4 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 NCT01281111, 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 Aug 2023.
