About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, 2-period Crossover Bioequivalence Study Comparing a 50-mg Dose of Liquid Etanercept Administered to Healthy Subjects by Subcutaneous Injection in the Thigh Using an Auto-injector Device and Manual Injection

A single-center, open-label, randomized study with a screening period of up to 21 days. Following that, eligible men and women will receive 50 mg of etanercept subcutaneously in the thigh to compare injection by auto-injection device to manual injection (each injection separated by 28 days)

Read the detailed description

A single-center, open-label, 2-period, 2-sequence, 2-treatment, randomized, crossover study. After a screening period of up to 21 days before dosing, 36 eligible men and women will be assigned to receive a 50-mg subcutaneous (SC) dose of etanercept administered by each of 2 methods of injection (Treatment A: administration by auto-injector device; and Treatment B: administration by manual injection) on separate occasions in an order determined by a randomization list (randomized 1:1 to sequence). Treatment administrations will be separated by a minimum of 28 days (maximum of 36 days). Subjects will be required to remain resident during the 72-hours after dosing in each period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ratio of the geometric mean of etanercept (ENBREL®) administered by auto-injector Scandinavian Health Limited-SHL) to etanercept administered by manual injection for the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter of AUC(0-t)

    28 days after receiving treatment in Period 1, subjects return to the facility on an outpatient basis to receive the alternate treatment in Period 2. Procedures performed in the first period are repeated in the second period. Blood samples are collected pre-dose and after dosing for both treatment periods.

    Measured: 28 days following each treatment arm

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Secondary includes the pharmokinetic parameter to measure the etanercept (ENBREL®) AUC (0-x), area under the curve

    28 days after receiving treatment in Period 1, subjects return to facility to receive the alternate treatment in Period 2. Procedures performed in the first period are repeated in the second period. (Blood samples are collected pre-dose and after dosing for both treatment periods.)

    Measured: 28 days: timepoint at which outcome measure is assessed following each treatment arm

  2. Safety Events measured by number of adverse events and retationship to treatment

    Number of adverse events for each subject summarized by system organ class, severity, and relationship to treatment

    Measured: 28 days following each treatment arm (total of 77 days including screening)

  3. Any significant changes from baseline in Vital Signs and physical examinations

    Change from baselline of vital signs, which includes blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and heart rate per minute.

    Measured: Baseline and 28 days following each treatment arm (total of 77 days including screening)

  4. Any Clinically Significant changes in clinical laboratory tests will be noted.

    Clinically significant abnormalities in clinical laboratory tests (chemistry and hematology and urine) analyzed by standard procedures

    Measured: Collected screening, Day -1 in both treatment periods, and day 15 in treatment period 2

  5. 12-lead Electrocardiograms will be performed and saved with subject source records

    Standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) with review of ventricular rate, rhythm, and interval measurements and appearance of the ECG waves will be performed

    Measured: Performed at screening and day 15 in Treatment B

  6. Blood samples obtained to measure seroreactivitiy to etanercept at baseline and following treatment

    Blood samples to measure seroreactivity to etanercept

    Measured: Predose in each treatment period and 28 days following dosing in treatment period B

  7. Secondary includes measure of pharmacokinetic parameter of Tmax, the time to reach maximum concentration

    Subjects return to the facility 28 days following each treatment segment (blood samples are collected immediately pre-dose and after dosing)

    Measured: 28 days following each treatment period the outcome will be measured

  8. Secondary outcome to measure t 1/2: elimination half-life for etanercept

    Subjects return to the facility 28 days following dosing; blood samples are taken immediately pre-dose and after treatment

    Measured: Outcome to be measured 28 days following each treatment

  9. Secondary to include etanercept pharmacokinetic parameter of CL/F: apparent clearance

    Subjects return to facility 28 days following each treatment; blood sample is obtained immediately pre-dose and after dosing

    Measured: Measurement assessed at 29 day timepoint following each treatment arm

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing etanercept (ENBREL®) via auto-injector device and Etanercept (ENBREL®) via Manual injection in people with Healthy Men and Women, run by Amgen.

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 8 inclusion and 15 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 28 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Ratio of the geometric mean of etanercept (ENBREL®) administered by auto-injector Scandinavian Health Limited-SHL) to etanercept administered by manual injection for the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter of AUC(0-t) (time frame: 28 days following each treatment arm). 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 28 Oct 2015.
