What is being measured

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

  1. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index (SRI)-4 Response at Week 48

    The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index (SRI)-4 measures reduction in SLE disease activity and is a composite measure that includes the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group (BILAG) 2004 and Physician Global Assessment. It is defined as: 1) Reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points [10 mm] from baseline) in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The score range is from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity.

    Measured: Week 48

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. SRI-4 Response at Week 48 With a Sustained Reduction of Oral Corticosteroids (OCS) Dose to Less Than (<)10 Milligrams Per Day (mg/Day) and Less Than or Equal to (</=) Day 1 Dose During Week 36 Through Week 48

    The SRI-4 measures reduction in SLE disease activity and is a composite measure that includes the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group (BILAG) 2004 and Physician Global Assessment. It is defined as: 1) Reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points [10 mm] from baseline) in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The score range is from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity. OCS tapering requires a sustained reduction of OCS from Week 36 through Week 48 [less than 10 milligram per day (mg/day) and less or equal to the dose received on Day 1].

    Measured: Week 48

  2. SRI-4 Response at Week 24 With a Sustained Reduction of OCS Dose to < 10 mg/Day and </= Day 1 Dose During Week 12 Through Week 24

    The SRI-4 measures reduction in SLE disease activity and is a composite measure that includes the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group (BILAG) 2004 and Physician Global Assessment. It is defined as: 1) Reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points [10 mm] from baseline) in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The score range is from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity. OCS tapering requires a sustained reduction of OCS from Week 12 through Week 24 [less than 10 milligram per day (mg/day) and less or equal to the dose received on Day 1].

    Measured: Week 24

  3. SRI-4 Response at Week 24

    The SRI-4 measures reduction in SLE disease activity and is a composite measure that includes the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group (BILAG) 2004 and Physician Global Assessment. It is defined as: 1) Reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points [10 mm] from baseline) in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The score range is from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity.

    Measured: Week 24

  4. SRI-4 Response at Week 48 in Patients With High vs. Low Plasmablast Signature Levels

    The SRI-4 measures reduction in SLE disease activity and is a composite measure that includes the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group (BILAG) 2004 and Physician Global Assessment. It is defined as: 1) Reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points [10 mm] from baseline) in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The score range is from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity. The Plasmablast Signature (PB) is a Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK)-dependent blood RNA signature comprised of three genes (IgJ, MZB1 and TXNDC5). Q1/2/3/4 = Quartile 1/2/3/4.

    Measured: Week 48

  5. SRI-4 Response With a Sustained Reduction of OCS Dose to ≤ 10 mg/Day and ≤ Day 1 Dose During Week 36 Through 48 in Patients With High vs. Low Plasmablast Signature Levels

    The SRI-4 measures reduction in SLE disease activity and is a composite measure that includes the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group (BILAG) 2004 and Physician Global Assessment. It is defined as: 1) Reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points [10 mm] from baseline) in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The score range is from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity. The Plasmablast Signature (PB) is a Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK)-dependent blood RNA signature comprised of three genes (IgJ, MZB1 and TXNDC5). Q1/2/3/4 = Quartile 1/2/3/4.

    Measured: Week 48

  6. SRI-6 Response at Week 24 and 48

    The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index (SRI)-6 measures reduction in SLE disease activity and is a composite measure that includes the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group (BILAG) 2004 and Physician Global Assessment. It is defined as: 1) Reduction of ≥6 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points [10 mm] from baseline) in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The score range is from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity.

    Measured: Week 24, 48

  7. BILAG-based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) Response at Week 24 and 48

    The BICLA is a composite index that is defined as follows: [1] At least one gradation of improvement in baseline BILAG scores in all body systems with moderate or severe disease activity at entry (e.g., all A (severe disease) scores falling to B (moderate), C (mild), or D (no activity) and all B scores falling to C or D; [2] No new BILAG A or more than one new BILAG B scores; [3] No worsening of total SLEDAI-2K score from baseline; [4] No significant deterioration (=<10%) in physician's global assessment and [5] No treatment failure (initiation of non-protocol treatment).

    Measured: Week 24, 48

  8. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

    Measured: Baseline up to 8 weeks after the last dose of study drug (up to Week 56).

  9. Plasma Concentrations of Fenebrutinib at Specified Timepoints

    The PK analyses includes tabulation of plasma concentration data and summarisation of plasma concentrations by visits with participants grouped according to treatment received. Descriptive summary statistics for the Arithmetic Mean and Standard Deviation are presented below.

    Measured: Baseline (Pre-dose), Week 24 (Pre-dose and Post-dose) and Week 48 (Pre-dose)

A Phase 2 study testing GDC-0853 in people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by Genentech, Inc. at 70 sites in 12 countries.

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 11 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 8 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 70 sites in United States, Brazil, Bulgaria, Colombia, Mexico and 7 more countries. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 7 Jul 2020). 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?

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index (SRI)-4 Response at Week 48 (time frame: Week 48). 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 NCT02908100, 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 8 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
