What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Peripheral Eosinophil Count at Day 22

    Measured: Baseline, Day 22

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    An AE was considered "serious" if there was any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect, other important medical events.

    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that started or worsened in severity on or after the date and time of the study drug infusion.

    Measured: From first dose to Day 127

  3. Number of Asthma Exacerbations

    Asthma exacerbation was defined as follows:

    1. Use of systemic corticosteroids (or a temporary increase in a stable oral corticosteroid background dose) for at least 3 days; a single depo-injectable dose of corticosteroids was considered equivalent to a 3-day course of systemic corticosteroids. OR
    2. An emergency room/urgent care visit (defined as evaluation and treatment for <24 hours in an emergency department or urgent care center) due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids (as per above). OR
    3. An inpatient hospitalization (defined as admission to an inpatient facility and/or evaluation and treatment in a healthcare facility for ≥24 hours due to asthma).

    Measured: From first dose to Day 127

  4. Number of Participants With Positive Anti-drug Antibody

    Measured: Day 1, Day 8, Day 36, Day 85, Day 106, end of study (up to Day 127)

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Change From Baseline in Peripheral Eosinophil Count at Day 127

    Measured: Baseline, Day 127

  2. Change From Baseline in Prebronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 127

    FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 127

  3. Change From Baseline in Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) at Day 127

    Measurement of FeNO was performed in accordance with the guidelines published by American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 127

  4. Change From Baseline in Whole Blood Ex-vivo Induced Interferon Gamma (IFN-γ)

    Blood samples for ex vivo induced IFN-γ assessment were collected in a sodium heparin tube. The measurement of ex vivo induced IFN-γ was performed using validated assay method.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 8, Day 36, Day 85, Day 106, and End of Study (up to Day 127)

  5. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Etokimab

    Cmax was obtained directly from the observed concentration versus time data.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, end of infusion (EOI), EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

  6. Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Etokimab

    Tmax was obtained directly from the observed concentration versus time data.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

  7. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve in Serum From Time Zero (Predose) Extrapolated to Infinite Time (AUC0-inf) of Etokimab

    AUC0-inf was calculated by linear up/log down trapezoidal summation and extrapolated to infinity by addition of the last quantifiable concentration divided by the apparent terminal rate constant.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

  8. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-last) of Etokimab

    AUC0-last was calculated by linear up/log down trapezoidal summation.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

  9. Apparent Total Body Clearance (CL) of Etokimab

    CL was calculated as dose/ AUC0-inf.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

  10. Apparent Terminal Rate Constant (λz) of Etokimab

    λz was determined by linear regression of the terminal points of the log-linear concentration-time curve.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

  11. Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Etokimab

    Apparent terminal half-life was determined as (natural logarithm of 2 [ln2] divided by λz).

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

  12. Volume of Distribution During Terminal Phase (Vz) of Etokimab

    Vz was estimated by dividing the systemic clearance by λz.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

  13. Volume of Distribution at Steady State Following Intravenous Dosing (Vss) of Etokimab

    Volume of distribution at steady state following intravenous dosing was calculated as [([AUMClast + ([tlast*Clast]/λz) + Clast/λz^2]/ AUC(0-inf)) - TI/ 2]*CL, Clast is last observed (quantifiable) plasma concentration, where AUMClast is the area under the moment curve from the time of dosing to Clast, tlast is the time of Clast, and TI is infusion duration.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.50 hours post-start of infusion, EOI, EOI+3 hours, EOI+6 hours, and then 24, 168, 504, 840, 1512 hours post-start of infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Etokimab in people with Eosinophilic Asthma, run by AnaptysBio, Inc. at 7 sites in 2 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 9 inclusion and 13 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 16 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, United Kingdom. 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 16 Aug 2023). 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?

Change From Baseline in Peripheral Eosinophil Count at Day 22 (time frame: Baseline, Day 22). The study lists 4 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 NCT03469934, 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 16 Aug 2023.
