What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not the AE was considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was to be regarded as a TEAE if it was present prior to receiving the first dose of study drug and subsequently worsened or was not present prior to receiving the first dose of study drug but subsequently appeared.

    Measured: Up to Day 176

  2. Percentage of Participants Using Concomitant Medications

    A concomitant therapy was any non-protocol-specified drug or substance (including over-the-counter [OTC] medications, herbal medications, and vitamin supplements) administered between signing of informed consent and the last study visit.

    Measured: Up to Day 176

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Values

    Laboratory parameters included measurement of blood chemistry, hematology, coagulation, complement, or urinalysis parameters for the single-dose and multiple-dose cohorts. Number of participants with clinically significant values in laboratory based on Investigator's assessment are reported. Any value outside the normal range was to be flagged for the attention of the investigator was to assess whether or not a flagged value is of clinical significance.

    Measured: Up to Day 176

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Physical Examination Findings

    Physical examination included measurement of height and weight for body mass index (BMI) determination. Number of participants with clinically significant findings in physical examination based on Investigator's assessment are reported. Any value outside the normal range was to be flagged for the attention of the investigator was to assess whether or not a flagged value is of clinical significance.

    Measured: Up to Day 176

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Electrocardiogram (ECG) Values

    ECG measurements included assessment of ventricular rate (VR), PR interval, QR interval, QT interval, QT corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF), and QT corrected using Bazett's formula (QTcB). Number of participants with clinically significant values in electrocardiogram based on Investigator's assessment are reported. Any value outside the normal range was to be flagged for the attention of the investigator was to assess whether or not a flagged value is of clinical significance.

    Measured: Up to Day 176

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Drug Concentration of ION-TTR-LRx

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 85

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 85

  3. AUCt: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Time t for ION-TTR-LRx

    Measured: From 0 to 672 hours post-dose on Day 85 for Cohorts A, B, and E; 0 hours to extrapolation to infinity post-dose on Day 1 for Cohort C

  4. CL/F: Apparent Total Clearance of ION-TTR-LRx

    Measured: From 0 to 672 hours post-dose on Day 85 for Cohorts A, B, and E; 0 hours to extrapolation to infinity post-dose on Day 1 for Cohort C

  5. t1/2λz: Termination Half-Life of ION-TTR-LRx

    Measured: Up to 92 hours; post-dose on Day 85 for Cohorts A, B, and E, and on Day 1 for Cohort C

  6. Ae0-24h: Amount of Administered Dose of ION-TTR-LRx Excreted in Urine Over a 24-Hour Period

    Measured: From 0 to 24 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 85

  7. Change From Baseline in Plasma Transthyretin (TTR) Levels Following Single and Multiple-dose Administration of ION-TTR-LRx

    Measured: Baseline, Days 29 and 99

  8. Change From Baseline in Plasma Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) Levels Following Single and Multiple-Dose Administration of ION-TTR-LRx

    Measured: Baseline, Days 29 and 99

  9. Percent Abundance of ION-682884 Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) Species (Metabolite) Following Administration of ION-682884 90 mg

    As prespecified in the protocol, this outcome measure was planned to be analyzed only in the Multiple Dose Cohort B: 90 mg ION-682884.

    Measured: 2 hours post-dose on Day 85

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ION-682884 and Vitamin A in people with Healthy Volunteers and hATTR Amyloidosis, run by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 19 Dec 2022. 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 Canada. 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 combined 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.

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 19 Dec 2022). 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?

Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) (time frame: Up to Day 176). The study lists 5 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 NCT03728634, which also lists 2 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 19 Dec 2022.
