  • Has a positive pregnancy test result at Screening or Check-in (females only).

  • Complete abstinence (if this is in line with the subject's preferred and usual lifestyle). Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendaring method, ovulation method, symptomatic body temperature method, post-ovulation method) and in vitro ejaculation are unacceptable contraceptive methods.
  • Patients who have received female sterilization (bilateral ovariectomy with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation for at least 6 weeks prior to study treatment. In case of only unilateral ovariectomy, female fertility status must be confirmed by follow-up assessment of hormone levels.
  • Combination of the following two methods:
  • Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS).

If women use oral contraceptives only, they should use the same contraceptives at a stable dose for at least 3 months before starting the study treatment.
  • If women have at least 12 months of natural amenorrhea and are clinically compatible (e.g., at the corresponding age, with a history of vasomotor symptoms or received bilateral ovariectomy with or without hysterectomy, they are regarded as postmenopausal women with no childbearing potential. In case of only unilateral ovariectomy, female fertility status must be confirmed by follow-up assessment of hormone levels before the women can be considered to have no childbearing potential.
  • Men who have sexual intercourse unless they use a condom during sexual intercourse and must not donate sperm from the first dose of study drug until 30 days after discontinuation of treatment and do not impregnate their sexual partners during the period. Vasectomized males are also required to use condoms to prevent the transmission of drugs through semen.
  • Subject who, in the opinion of the Investigator, should not participate in this study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of AC0058TA in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

This is a Phase 1b, double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AC0058TA in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AC0058TA in people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by ACEA Therapeutics, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 13 inclusion and 27 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Liming Liu, MD, PhD (1-858-249-9120, limingliu@aceatherapeutics.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events (time frame: Measured up to 12 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 18 Mar 2019.
