About this study

Official title: A Dose-Blinded, 2-Dose Level, Parallel-Group, Multicenter, Long-Term Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety, Efficacy, and Immunogenicity of BIIB023 in Subjects With Lupus Nephritis

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of BIIB023 in participants with lupus nephritis (LN).

Read the detailed description

This is an extension study for all participants who completed study 211LE201 (NCT01499355) through Week 52 and did not discontinue BIIB023 or placebo. Eligible participants from Study 211LE201 will be followed for up to 108 weeks.

Participants who received BIIB023 low dose or high dose in 211LE201 will continue to receive the same dosing in this study (211LE202; NCT01930890) in addition to background therapy. Participants who received placebo in 211LE201 are randomized to receive either BIIB023 low dose or high dose in addition to background therapy.

Conditions
Lupus Nephritis
Being tested
BIIB023, mycophenolate mofetil, oral corticosteroids

What participants receive

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

  • BIIB023Biological

  • mycophenolate mofetilDrug

    Also called MMF, Cellcept

    titrated to a target daily dose of 2 g (1 g twice daily)

  • oral corticosteroidsDrug

    oral corticosteroids (prednisone or equivalent) at a target prednisone dose of 10 mg/day

Study groups in NCT01930890
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BIIB023 3 mg/kgExperimentalParticipants will receive BIIB023 3 mg/kg IV every 4 weeks through Week 100 plus background therapy including oral steroids (prednisone or equivalent) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).
Receives: Biological: BIIB023; Drug: mycophenolate mofetil; Drug: oral corticosteroids
BIIB023 20 mg/kgExperimentalParticipants will receive BIIB023 20 mg/kg IV every 4 weeks through Week 100 plus background therapy including oral steroids (prednisone or equivalent) and MMF.
Receives: Biological: BIIB023; Drug: mycophenolate mofetil; Drug: oral corticosteroids

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    AEs with a start date on or after the first dose date in study 211LE202. AE: any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE: any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the subject at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect. An SAE may also be any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above.

    Measured: Up to Week 108

  2. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment or Withdrew From Study Due to an AE

    AEs with a start date on or after the first dose date in study 211LE202. AE: any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE: any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the subject at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect. An SAE may also be any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above.

    Measured: Up to Week 108

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BIIB023, mycophenolate mofetil and oral corticosteroids in people with Lupus Nephritis, run by Biogen at 33 sites in 19 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 2 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 18 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in United States, Malaysia, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium and 14 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. 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 18 Jan 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?

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Up to Week 108). 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 18 Jan 2017.
