What is being measured

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

  1. AUC (0-168); AUC (0-336); AUC (0-672); AUC (0-∞ ) of Interferon (IFN) Beta-1a

    Stage 1 primary outcome measure for pharmacokinetics analysis. Area under concentration-time curve (AUC) of interferon (IFN) beta-1a from the moment of drug administration up to 168, 336, 648 hours respectively

    Measured: 0 to 168 hours; 0 to 336 hours; 0 to 672 hours respectively

  2. AUC(0-last); AUC (0-∞ ) BCD-054 of Interferon (IFN) Beta-1a - 180 mcg - SC, BCD-054 - 180 mcg - IM

    Stage 2 primary outcome measure for pharmacokinetics analysis. Area under concentration-time curve (AUC) of interferon (IFN) beta-1a from the moment of drug administration until last quantifiable concentration

    Measured: 0 to 672 hours

  3. AUC (0-168); AUC (0-336); AUC (0-672);AUC (0-∞ ) of Neopterin

    Stage 1 primary outcome measure for pharmacodynamics analysis. Area under concentration-time curve (AUC) of neopterin from the moment of drug administration until 168, 336, 648 hours respectively

    Measured: 0 to 168 hours; 0 to 336 hours; 0 to 672 hours respectively

  4. AUC(0-∞), AUC(0-last) of Neopterin

    Stage 2 primary outcome measure for pharmacodynamics analysis. Area under concentration-time curve (AUC) of neopterin from the moment of drug administration until last quantifiable concentration

    Measured: 0 to 672 hours

  5. Adverse Event (AE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Incidence

    Stage 1

    Measured: 4 weeks

  6. Adverse Event (AE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Incidence BCD-054 - 180 mcg - SC/IM

    Stage 2 BCD-054 - 180 mcg - SC/IM

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BCD-054, Rebif and Avonex in people with Healthy, run by Biocad at 1 site in Russia.

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 0 inclusion and 19 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 10 Apr 2017. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Dec 2016). 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?

AUC (0-168); AUC (0-336); AUC (0-672); AUC (0-∞ ) of Interferon (IFN) Beta-1a (time frame: 0 to 168 hours; 0 to 336 hours; 0 to 672 hours respectively). The study lists 6 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 10 Apr 2017.
