About this study

Official title: A Two Part Protocol Using Double Blind Placebo Control to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single Escalating Intra-articular Doses Followed by Assessment of Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of a Single Intra-articular Dose of the TrkA Inhibitor, GZ389988, in Patients With Painful Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Primary Objective:

To assess the safety and tolerability of ascending single intraarticular doses of GZ389988 in patients with painful osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.

Secondary Objectives:

To assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of ascending single intraarticular doses of GZ389988 in patients with painful OA of the knee.

To obtain preliminary pharmacodynamic evaluation of ascending single intraarticular doses of GZ389988 in patients with painful OA of the knee.

Read the detailed description

Screening will be performed within 28 days of dosing. Following the single dose of study medication, the study period for each patient will be 84 ± 7 days up to the end-of-study visit.

Total duration for one patient will be up to 17 weeks (up to the end-of-study visit), not including the long term observational safety follow-up by phone call for 12 additional weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GZ389988 in people with Osteoarthritis, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 1 site in Germany.

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 9 inclusion and 24 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 Aug 2016. 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 Germany. 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 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?

Proportion of patients with adverse events (time frame: Up to Day 84 after single intraarticular dose of GZ389988). 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 17 Aug 2016.
