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 time zero to infinity (AUCinf)

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

    Measured: Up to Day 15

  2. Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

    Measured: Up to Day 15

  3. Serum concentration at 24 hour (C24h) after administration

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

    Measured: Upto Day 15

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of patients with adverse events, serious adverse events and death

    Monitoring of adverse events, serious adverse events and death from screening to end of study

    Measured: Day 15

  2. Determination of the presence and quantification of anti-RLX030 antibodies

    Blood will be collected and serum analyzed for the presence of antiRLX030 antibodies. Anti-RLX030 antibodies will be evaluated in serum in a validated four-tiered assay approach

    Measured: Day 1 (prior to administration) and Day 15 end of study

  3. Mean residence time [MRT] of RLX030

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

    Measured: screening, days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 15

  4. Terminal elimination half life (T ½) of RLX030

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

    Measured: screening, days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 15

  5. Systemic clearance of RLX030 from serum (CL)

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

    Measured: screening, days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 15

  6. Volume of distribution at steady state (Vss)

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

    Measured: screening, days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RLX030A in people with Hepatic Impairment, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 21 Dec 2020. 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 Germany, Russia. 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?

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?

Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf) (time frame: Up to Day 15). The study lists 3 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 NCT01433458, 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 21 Dec 2020.
