About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Single and Multiple-Ascending Dose Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of BIIB054 in Japanese Subjects With Parkinson's Disease

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a range of single and 13 repeated doses of BIIB054, administered as intravenous (IV) infusion, in Japanese participants with Parkinson's disease (PD). The secondary objectives are to evaluate the immunogenicity, and serum pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of BIIB054 after single and multiple dose administration.

Being tested
BIIB054, Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is a life-threatening event, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in a significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly, or is a medically important event.

    Measured: Up to 72 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinite Time (AUCinf) of BIIB054

    Measured: Up to 24 Weeks

  2. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to End of Dosing Interval (AUCtau) of BIIB054

    Measured: Up to 24 Weeks

  3. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of BIIB054

    Measured: Up to 24 Weeks

  4. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax) of BIIB054

    Measured: Up to 24 Weeks

  5. Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2) of BIIB054

    Measured: Up to 24 Weeks

  6. Clearance (CL) of BIIB054

    Measured: Up to 24 Weeks

  7. Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss) of BIIB054

    Measured: Up to 24 Weeks

  8. Accumulation Ratio of BIIB054

    Measured: Up to 24 Weeks

  9. Observed Concentration at the End of Dosing Interval (Ctrough) of BIIB054

    Measured: Up to 24 Weeks

  10. Number of Participants With Anti-BIIB054 Antibodies in Serum

    Measured: Up to 72 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIIB054 in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Biogen at 9 sites in Japan.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 25 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Japan. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Affiliated study NCT03318523 did not meet its primary outcome measure of change from baseline measured by Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) and did not demonstrate efficacy on secondary outcome measures). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Up to 72 Weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 May 2021.
