About this study

Official title: The Effects of Denosumab on the Pharmacokinetics of Etanercept in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mineral Density and Rheumatoid Arthritis

The primary objective of the study was to characterize the effects of a single dose of denosumab on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of etanercept in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD) and rheumatoid arthritis based on area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax).

What participants receive

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

  • EtanerceptDrug

    Also called Enbrel®

    Administered by subcutaneous injection once a week

  • DenosumabDrug

    Also called Prolia®

    Administered by subcutaneous injection

Study groups in NCT01294397
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Etanercept + DenosumabExperimentalParticipants received etanercept 50 mg subcutaneously once weekly for 25 weeks. On study day 8, participants were administered a single 60 mg subcutaneous injection of denosumab.
Receives: Drug: Etanercept; Drug: Denosumab

What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 168 Hours (AUC0-168) for Etanercept

    The AUC0-168 of etanercept was measured when administered alone (assessed from day 1) and after administration with denosumab (assessed from day 22, 14 days after denosumab dosing, close to the time of the maximum observed denosumab serum concentration and corresponding to a time approximately 1 week after maximal pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of denosumab are attained).

    Measured: Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.

  2. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Etanercept

    Measured: Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Maximum Serum Concentration (Tmax) of Etanercept

    Measured: Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.

  2. Serum Denosumab Concentration

    Measured: Prior to etanercept and denosumab dose administrations, as applicable, on days 8, 22, and 29

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Serum C-telopeptide (sCTx) Concentrations

    Measured: Baseline (Day 8) and Days 22, 29, 85, and 176

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Etanercept and Denosumab in people with Postmenopausal and Osteopenia, run by Amgen at 2 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 20 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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 20 Jun 2017). 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?

Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 168 Hours (AUC0-168) for Etanercept (time frame: Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.). 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?
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 20 Jun 2017.
