Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adult men or women 18-70 years of age suffering from end-stage renal disease and who are on chronic dialysis therapy.
  • Candidates for kidney transplantation who are pre-sensitized and will be undergoing desensitization therapy.
  • Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed.
  • Able to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study.
  • Recipients who are ABO compatible with donor allograft.
  • Patients awaiting kidney allograft from a living or deceased donor. For patients awaiting transplant from a living donor, kidney transplantation must only occur after 28 days post-LFG316 infusion.
  • History of vaccination with meningococcus and pneumococcus between 2 weeks and 36 months prior to dosing. Documentation is required. If patients have not been vaccinated, they must be vaccinated at least 2 weeks prior to dosing. The choice of vaccine(s) should take into account the serotypes prevalent in the geographic areas in which study patients will be enrolled.

Who cannot join

  • Patients requiring or undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
  • Patients with a known contraindication to treatment with blood products.
  • Patients with a known pro-thrombotic disorder and/or history of thrombosis or hyper-coagulable state, excluding hemodialysis venous access clotting.
  • Patients who have positive PCR results for hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C, and/or history of immunodeficiency diseases, including a positive HIV (ELISA and Western blot) test result.
  • Patients at risk for tuberculosis (TB)
  • Patients with any severe, progressive or uncontrolled acute or chronic medical condition not related to end-stage renal disease (such as uncontrolled infectious disease or sepsis), clinical laboratory abnormalities at screening or baseline that in the investigator's opinion would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study, or known active presence of malignancies.

  • Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women.
  • Women of child-bearing potential, unless highly effective methods of contraception are used during dosing and for 50 days after the last dose of LFG316, or sexually active males unwilling to use a condom during intercourse while taking investigational drug and for 50 days after the last dose of LFG316.
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

About this study

Official title: Open-label, Parallel-group, Drug-drug Interaction Study in End-stage Renal Disease Patients Awaiting Kidney Transplant to Investigate the Potential Effect of IVIG Treatment on the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of LFG316

Investigate whether concomitant treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) can alter the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LFG316 to an extent which would necessitate dose adaptation for LFG316 in pre-sensitized end-stage renal disease patients awaiting kidney transplantation

Being tested
LFG316, IVIG

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK) of LFG316: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC)

    The following PK parameters were determined from the plasma concentration time profile of LFG316 using a non-compartmental method:

    AUClast: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration

    AUCinf: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK) of LFG316: Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration Following Drug Administration (Cmax)

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LFG316 and IVIG in people with Kidney Transplantation, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals 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 7 inclusion and 9 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 11 Dec 2020. 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 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?

Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK) of LFG316: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) (time frame: 1 month). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02878616, 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 11 Dec 2020.
