What is being measured

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

  1. Time-weighted Averages of Mean Arterial Pressure

    Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle. MAP was calculated as diastolic blood pressure (DBP) + 0.33 * (systolic blood pressure [SBP]-DBP). Individual time-weighted average in MAP were calculated as area under the measurement-time curve from predose through 2.5 hours of MAP divided by the time period over which the measurements were made (ie, AUCmap0-2.5 hr /2.5 hours).

    Data were analyzed using a linear mixed effects regression model with fixed effects for treatment and period and random effect for subject; Sumatriptan Alone data include participants from both Groups A (Parts 1 and 2) and B (Part 1 only).

    Measured: Days 2 and 5 from predose to 2.5 hours after sumatriptan dosing.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Adverse events (AEs) were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 and according to the following:

    Grade 1 = Mild AE, asymptomatic or mild symptoms; Grade 2 = Moderate, minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; Grade 3 = Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 = Life-threatening consequences, urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5 = Death related to AE.

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug (sumatriptan, placebo or erenumab) until 84 days after the last dose (89 days). Part 1 includes AEs from day 1 to predose on day 4 and Part 2 includes AEs from day 4 through day 89.

  2. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to 6 Hours for Sumatriptan

    Plasma concentrations of sumatriptan were quantified using a validated high performance liquid chromatographic method with tandem mass spectrometry detection.

    Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to 6 hours post dose (AUC6hr) after the 2nd 6 mg dose of sumatriptan was estimated using the linear trapezoidal method. Sumatriptan plasma concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; 0.100 ng/mL) were set to 0 before data analysis.

    Log-transformed AUC6hr was analyzed using a linear mixed effects model with treatment as a fixed effect and subject as a random effect.

    Sumatriptan Alone data include participants from both Groups A (Parts 1 and 2) and B (Part 1 only).

    Measured: Day 2 and day 5 at 1 hour (prior to 2nd sumatriptan injection), 1 hour 10 minutes, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, and 7 hours relative to the first 6 mg dose of sumatriptan.

  3. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity for Sumatriptan

    Plasma concentrations of sumatriptan were quantified using a validated high performance liquid chromatographic method with tandem mass spectrometry detection. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf) after the 2nd 6 mg dose of sumatriptan was estimated as the sum of AUClast and Clast/λz where Clast is the last observed concentration and λz is the first-order terminal rate constant estimated via linear regression of the terminal log-linear decay phase. Sumatriptan plasma concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) (0.100 ng/mL) were set to 0 before data analysis.

    Log-transformed AUCinf was analyzed using a linear mixed effects model with treatment as a fixed effect and subject as a random effect. Sumatriptan Alone data include participants from both Groups A (Parts 1 and 2) and B (Part 1 only).

    Measured: Day 2 and day 5 at 1 hour (prior to 2nd sumatriptan injection), 1 hour 10 minutes, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, and 7 hours relative to the first 6 mg dose of sumatriptan.

  4. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Sumatriptan

    Plasma concentrations of sumatriptan were quantified using a validated high performance liquid chromatographic method with tandem mass spectrometry detection. Sumatriptan plasma concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) (0.100 ng/mL) were set to 0 before data analysis.

    Log-transformed maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) was analyzed using a linear mixed effects model with treatment as a fixed effect and subject as a random effect. Sumatriptan Alone data include participants from both Groups A (Parts 1 and 2) and B (Part 1 only).

    Measured: Day 2 and day 5 at predose, 1 hour (prior to 2nd sumatriptan injection), 1 hour 10 minutes, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, and 7 hours relative to the first 6 mg dose of sumatriptan.

  5. Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-erenumab Antibodies

    Two validated assays were used to detect the presence of anti-erenumab antibodies. All samples were first tested in an electrochemiluminescence-based bridging assay to detect antibodies capable of binding to erenumab (Binding Antibody Assay). Samples confirmed to be positive for binding antibodies were subsequently tested in a cell-based assay to determine neutralizing activity against erenumab (Neutralizing Antibody Assay). If a post-dose sample was positive for binding antibodies and demonstrated neutralizing activity at the same time point, the sample was defined as positive for neutralizing antibodies.

    Binding/neutralizing antibody positive is defined as participants with an antibody positive postbaseline results and with a negative or no result at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and day 89

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sumatriptan and Erenumab in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Amgen at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 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 Belgium. 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 5 Mar 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?

Time-weighted Averages of Mean Arterial Pressure (time frame: Days 2 and 5 from predose to 2.5 hours after sumatriptan dosing.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02741310, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Apr 2019.
