What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product, any new disease or exacerbation of an existing disease, recurrence of an intermittent medical condition, any deterioration in a laboratory value or other clinical test or adverse events that are related to a protocol-mandated intervention, including those that occur prior to assignment of study treatment.

    Measured: Screening up until 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to 1 year).

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for RO7020531, Main Active Metabolite (RO7011785) and Prodrug Metabolites (RO7018822 and RO7033805)

    Non-compartmental analysis using WinNonlin software was used to calculate PK parameters where appropriate. Summary descriptive statistics (Arithmetic Mean and Standard Deviation) for Cmax will be presented by treatment arm. Where appropriate, data maybe pooled and analyzed. Please note that this Outcome Measure was not measured for the Placebo Cohorts and SAD Cohorts (1-4) (on Day 13).

    Measured: SAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 hours (h) Post-dose Days 1, 2; MAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24h Post-dose Days 1, 2 and Days 13, 14; Pre-dose, 2, 6, 24hr Post-dose Days 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

    Non-compartmental analysis using WinNonlin software was used to calculate PK parameters where appropriate. Summary descriptive statistics (Arithmetic Mean and Standard Deviation) for AUClast will be presented by treatment arm. Where appropriate, data maybe pooled and analyzed. Please note that this Outcome Measure was not measured for the Placebo Cohorts and SAD Cohorts (1-4) (on Day 13).

    Measured: SAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 hours (h) Post-dose Days 1, 2; MAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24h Post-dose Days 1, 2 and Days 13, 14; Pre-dose, 2, 6, 24hr Post-dose Days 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve Extrapolated to Infinity (AUCinf) for RO7020531, Main Active Metabolite (RO7011785) and Prodrug Metabolites (RO7018822 and RO7033805)

    Non-compartmental analysis using WinNonlin software was used to calculate PK parameters where appropriate. Summary descriptive statistics (Arithmetic Mean and Standard Deviation) for AUCinf will be presented by treatment arm. Where appropriate, data maybe pooled and analyzed. Please note that this Outcome Measure was not measured for the Placebo Cohorts and SAD Cohorts (1-4) (on Day 13). Due to insufficient plasma concentration data for RO7020531 and RO7033805, AUCinf for these 2 compounds could not be estimated.

    Measured: SAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 hours (h) Post-dose Days 1, 2; MAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24h Post-dose Days 1, 2 and Days 13, 14; Pre-dose, 2, 6, 24hr Post-dose Days 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

  4. Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) for RO7020531, Main Active Metabolite (RO7011785) and Prodrug Metabolites (RO7018822 and RO7033805)

    Non-compartmental analysis using WinNonlin software was used to calculate PK parameters where appropriate. Summary descriptive statistics (Median and Full Range) for Tmax will be presented by treatment arm. Where appropriate, data maybe pooled and analyzed. Please note that this Outcome Measure was not measured for the Placebo Cohorts and SAD Cohorts (1-4) (on Day 13).

    Measured: SAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 hours (h) Post-dose Days 1, 2; MAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24h Post-dose Days 1, 2 and Days 13, 14; Pre-dose, 2, 6, 24hr Post-dose Days 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

  5. Half-Life (t1/2) for RO7020531, Main Active Metabolite (RO7011785) and Prodrug Metabolites (RO7018822 and RO7033805)

    Non-compartmental analysis using WinNonlin software was used to calculate PK parameters where appropriate. Summary descriptive statistics (Arithmetic Mean and Standard Deviation) for t1/2 will be presented by treatment arm. Where appropriate, data maybe pooled and analyzed. Please note that this Outcome Measure was not measured for the Placebo Cohorts and SAD Cohorts (1-4) (on Day 13). Due to insufficient plasma concentration data for RO7020531 and RO7033805, t1/2 for these 2 compounds could not be estimated.

    Measured: SAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 hours (h) Post-dose Days 1, 2; MAD: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24h Post-dose Days 1, 2 and Days 13, 14; Pre-dose, 2, 6, 24hr Post-dose Days 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

  6. Total Amount Excreted as RO7020531, RO7011785, RO7018822 and RO7033805

    Non-compartmental analysis using WinNonlin software was used to calculate PK parameters where appropriate. Summary descriptive statistics (Arithmetic Mean and Standard Deviation) for Total Amount Excreted, will be presented by treatment arm. Where appropriate, data maybe pooled and analyzed.

  8. Renal Clearance of RO7020531, RO7011785, RO7018822 and RO7033805

    Non-compartmental analysis using WinNonlin software was used to calculate PK parameters where appropriate. Summary descriptive statistics (Arithmetic Mean and Standard Deviation) for Renal Clearance will be presented by treatment arm. Where appropriate, data maybe pooled and analyzed. Please note that this Outcome Measure was not measured for the Placebo Cohorts and MAD Cohorts (1-4). Due to insufficient urine concentration data for RO7020531 and RO7033805, Renal Clearance for these 2 compounds could not be estimated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RO7020531 in people with Healthy Participants, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 12 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 13 Jul 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 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?

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Screening up until 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to 1 year).). 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 NCT03530917, 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 13 Jul 2020.
