If the results in the double-blind period show that belimumab is safe and effective, then participants have the option to receive treatment with belimumab in a 6-month open-label extension phase. Placebo patients who opt to participate in the extension will receive belimumab 10 mg/kg IV every 28 days plus oral azathioprine 2 mg/kg/day for an additional 6 months.

If the results in the double-blind period show that belimumab is safe and effective, then participants have the option to continue treatment with belimumab in a 6-month open-label extension phase. Patients who opt to participate in the extension will continue to receive belimumab 10 mg/kg IV every 28 plus oral azathioprine 2 mg/kg/day days for an additional 6 months. Receives: Biological: Belimumab 10 mg/kg; Drug: Azathioprine

What is being measured

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

Time to First Relapse
Time to relapse is defined as the number of days from Day 0 until the participant experienced a relapse (relapse date - treatment start date +1). Only post-baseline relapses were considered in these analyses. Only relapses occurring up to and including the last visit date in the double-blind treatment period were considered in these analyses. Intent-to-treat population comprised of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study agent (belimumab or placebo). NA indicates that the data was not available as the Number of events is too low to estimate the value. Median and Inter-quartile range were presented and were based on Kaplan Meier estimates.
Measured: Approximately up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)

Number of Participants With Major Relapse During the Double-blind Phase of the Study
Data for number of participants with major relapse [defined as experiencing at least 1 major Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) item] during the double-bind phase of the study was reported. Analysis was performed using a Cox proportional hazard model.
Measured: Approximately up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Belimumab 10 mg/kg and Azathioprine in people with Vasculitis, run by Human Genome Sciences Inc., a GSK Company at 89 sites in 20 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 17 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 89 sites in United States, Germany, Peru, Italy, United Kingdom and 15 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 17 Apr 2018). 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?

Time to First Relapse (time frame: Approximately up to 4 years). 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 NCT01663623, 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 17 Apr 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
