About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Dose-Exploration Cohort Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Voclosporin in Achieving Complete or Partial Remission of Proteinuria in Subjects With Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Voclosporin in Achieving Complete or Partial Remission of Proteinuria in Subjects with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Read the detailed description

The aim of the current study to assess the efficacy of voclosporin in achieving complete or partial remission of proteinuria after 24 weeks of therapy in subjects with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). As well as to assess the safety and tolerability of voclosporin over 24 weeks in subjects with FSGS.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • VoclosporinDrug

    Voclosporin softgel capsules. Up to 10 subjects will be enrolled into Cohort 1 and take up to 3 capsules twice daily (BID).

    The dose of voclosporin for Cohort 2 (at least 10 subjects) will be determined by analysis of efficacy and safety data at Week 12 from the first 5 or 6 subjects in Cohort 1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Voclosporin in people with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, run by Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 23 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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in United States, Dominican Republic. 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 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 Sep 2021). 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?

Proportion of Subjects With Remission of Proteinuria (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 NCT03598036, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 Sep 2021.
