About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of KB195 in Subjects With A Urea Cycle Disorder With Inadequate Control on Standard of Care

UNLOCKED: A Phase 2 Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of KB195 in Subjects with a Urea Cycle Disorder with Inadequate Control on Standard of Care

Read the detailed description

We expect the trial to enroll approximately 24 Urea Cycle Disorder (UCD) patients on standard of care with elevated ammonia levels. The planned treatment duration is eight weeks, with a primary endpoint of proportion of subjects who achieve a ≥15% reduction from baseline in fasting ammonia at the end of treatment. Patients will also be followed for safety and tolerability. This clinical trial is intended to allow us to evaluate efficacy of KB195 in reducing ammonia in UCD patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of subjects who achieve a ≥15% reduction from baseline in fasting plasma ammonia at the end of treatment.

    Measured: Day -1 to Day 55

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Proportion of subjects normalizing their fasting plasma ammonia concentrations from above the upper limit of normal at baseline to below the upper limit of normal at the end of treatment.

    Measured: Day -1 to Day 55

  2. Number of subjects experiencing adverse events (AEs)

    Measured: Day -28 to Day 84

  3. Number of subjects experiencing severe adverse events (SAEs)

    Measured: Day -28 to Day 84

  4. Change from baseline to end of treatment in Gastrointestinal Tolerability Questionnaire (GITQ) scores

    Evaluate the effect of KB195 on self-report questionnaires including the Gastrointestinal Tolerability Questionnaire, an assessment of the frequency and severity of GI symptoms, e.g., gas, abdominal pain, calculated on a scale from 0 (None/Not applicable) to a maximum score of 60 (Severe/Much more than usual) for all questions

    Measured: Day -28 to Day 84

  5. Change from baseline to end of treatment in Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) scoring.

    Evaluate the effect of KB195 on self-report questionnaires including the Bristol Stool Scale, an assessment of stool consistency on a scale from 1 (separate hard lumps, like nuts, hard to pass) through 7 (watery, no solid pieces, entirely liquid)

    Measured: Day -28 to Day 84

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing KB195 in people with Urea Cycle Disorder, run by Kaleido Biosciences at 19 sites in 7 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 10 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 25 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in United States, Spain, United Kingdom, Belgium, Switzerland and 2 more countries. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Kaleido Biosciences, Inc. closed the K020-218 trial due to business reasons, and not due to any safety concerns.). 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?

Proportion of subjects who achieve a ≥15% reduction from baseline in fasting plasma ammonia at the end of treatment. (time frame: Day -1 to Day 55). 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 Jan 2022.
