About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib Treatment Trial Using AbGn-168H to Treat Steroid Refractory Acute Graft-vs.-Host Disease (aGVHD) in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

This study is to establish the safety, determine if there is an improvement in steroid refractory acute graft-vs-host disease (aGvHD) compared to historical cohorts, and determine the changes of aGvHD-associated T-cell clones in patients with steroid-refractory aGVHD following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation administered AbGn-168H once weekly for 4 weeks.

Read the detailed description

AbGn-168H is a humanized monoclonal antibody. This is a dose escalation study using a modified toxicity probability interval method. AbGn-168H will be administered intravenously (IV) once weekly for four weeks, in patients with steroid refractory aGVHD following hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 90 days.The primary objective of this study is to establish the safety, and the secondary objectives of this study are to determine if there is an improvement in disease response at 3 months after diagnosis of steroid refractory aGVHD compared to historical cohorts and to determine the changes in frequency and/or phenotype of aGVHD-associated T cell clones in response to AbGn-168H therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse events

    Grade 3 to 5 adverse events considered at least possibly-related to neihulizumab

    Measured: On or before study day 52

  2. Cytokine release syndrome or acute infusion reactions

    Grade 3 to 5 cytokine release syndrome or acute infusion reactions

    Measured: Within 24 hours after study drug infusion

  3. Neutropenia

    Grade 4 neutropenia lasting more than 14 days considered at least possibly related to study drug

    Measured: Duration of study

  4. All-cause mortality

    Grade 5 all-cause mortality

    Measured: Within 7 days of infusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes in frequency and/or phenotype of aGVHD-associated T-cell clones

    Changes in T cell clonal dynamics will be accomplished by statistical methodology.

    Measured: At time of diagnosis up to 90 days

  2. GVHD treatment response as measured by the Modified Keystone aGVHD clinical grade scale

    Treatment response will be estimated by the Kaplan Meier product limit method, with standard confidence limits

    Measured: At 90 days after the diagnosis of aGVHD

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AbGn-168H in people with Acute Graft Versus Host Disease, run by AbGenomics B.V Taiwan Branch at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 30 Mar 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Re-initiate a new trial per the discussion with FDA). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Adverse events (time frame: On or before study day 52). The study lists 4 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 30 Mar 2017.
