What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics: Observed Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) Following Single Dose of Anifrolumab.

    To evaluate Cmax of anifrolumab after single administration of two doses subcutaneously and one dose intravenously.

    Up to 13 blood samples were collected in total.

    Measured: On Day 1 pre-dose and at 5 minutes (IV cohort only), 24 and 48 hours post-dose and at each follow-up visit, up to 85 days

  2. Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) Following Single Dose of Anifrolumab

    To evaluate AUC(0-t) of anifrolumab after single administration of two doses subcutaneously and one dose intravenously

    Up to 13 blood samples were collected in total.

    Measured: On Day 1 pre-dose and at 5 minutes (IV cohort only), 24 and 48 hours post-dose and at each follow-up visit, up to 85 days

  3. Pharmacokinetics: Area Under Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC) Following Single Dose of Anifrolumab

    To evaluate AUC of anifrolumab after single administration of two doses subcutaneously and one dose intravenously.

    Up to 13 blood samples were collected in total.

    Measured: On Day 1 pre-dose and at 5 minutes (IV cohort only), 24 and 48 hours post-dose and at each follow-up visit, up to 85 days

  4. Safety: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    To assess the safety and tolerability of single doses of anifrolumab

    Measured: From screening to final follow-up visit, up to 16 weeks

  5. Safety: Summary of Local Injection Site Pain (SC Cohorts) Assessed in Participants

    Local injection site pain was assessed using a 100 mm participant rated Visual Analog Scale (VAS 0mm - 100mm ungraduated scale, where 0 = "no pain" to 100 = "worst imaginable pain"). This assessment was taken for only those participants in subcutaneously dosed treatment groups; 600 mg SC and 300 mg SC, anifrolumab and placebo. For the 300 mg SC anifrolumab and 300 mg SC placebo groups which received two simultaneous injections, the average VAS score (0mm-100mm) of the two injection sites were reported.

    Measured: Immediately after dosing, at 10, 20 minutes and 1 hour after injection

  6. Safety: Summary of Local Injection Site Pruritus (SC Cohorts) Assessed in Participants

    Local injection site pruritus was assessed using a 100 mm participant rated Visual Analog Scale (VAS 0mm - 100mm ungraduated scale, where 0 = "no itching" to 100 = "worst imaginable itching"). This assessment was taken for only those participants in subcutaneously dosed treatment groups; 600 mg SC and 300 mg SC, anifrolumab and placebo. For the 300 mg SC anifrolumab and 300 mg SC placebo groups which received two simultaneous injections, the average VAS score (0mm-100mm) of the two injection sites were reported.

    Measured: Immediately after dosing, at 10, 20 minutes and 1 hour after injection

  7. Safety: Summary of Erythema Injection Site Reaction (SC Cohorts) Assessed in Participants

    Erythema was measured as the largest diameter across the needle site on the skin in millimetres (mm). This assessment was taken for only those participants in subcutaneously dosed treatment groups; 600 mg SC and 300 mg SC, anifrolumab and placebo. For the 300 mg SC anifrolumab and 300 mg SC placebo groups which received two simultaneous injections, the average of the two injection site diameters (mm) were reported.

    Measured: Immediately after dosing, at 10, 20 minutes and 1 hour after injection

  8. Safety: Summary of the Induration Injection Site Reaction (SC Cohorts) Assessed in Participants

    Induration was measured as the largest diameter across the needle site on the skin in millimetres (mm). This assessment was taken for only those participants in subcutaneously dosed treatment groups; 600 mg SC and 300 mg SC, anifrolumab and placebo. For the 300 mg SC anifrolumab and 300 mg SC placebo groups which received two simultaneous injections, the average of the two injection site diameters (mm) were reported.

    Measured: Immediately after dosing, at 10, 20 minutes and 1 hour after injection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of Immunogenicity of Anifrolumab IV Infusions and SC Injections by the Measurement of Anti-drug Antibody (ADA).

    Immunogenicity was assessed in all groups by the presence or absence of ADA, which was determined in serum samples using validated bioanalytical methods. The reported results are based on the confirmatory assay (positive/negative) of the ADA. The number of participants with positive, negative and missing results are reported for each time point using the safety analysis set.

    Measured: Pre-dose and at Days 5 and Day 29, up to 85 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Anifrolumab SC injection (300mg), Anifrolumab IV infusion (300mg) and Anifrolumab SC infusion (600mg) in people with Safety and Pharmacokinetics, run by AstraZeneca 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 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 26 Feb 2019. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Feb 2019). 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?

Pharmacokinetics: Observed Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) Following Single Dose of Anifrolumab. (time frame: On Day 1 pre-dose and at 5 minutes (IV cohort only), 24 and 48 hours post-dose and at each follow-up visit, up to 85 days). The study lists 8 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 26 Feb 2019.
