About this study

Official title: Phase 1b Single Ascending and Multiple Dose First-in-man Study in Adult Patients With Non-transfusion-dependent Beta-thalassaemia or Low Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Response of SLN124

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of SLN124 for the treatment of non-transfusion-dependent (NTD) β-thalassaemia and low risk myelodysplastic syndrome.

Being tested
SLN124 is a GalNAc conjugated double stranded fully modified siRNA. Sodium chloride 0.9% w/v is used as Placebo

What participants receive

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

  • SLN124 is a GalNAc conjugated double stranded fully modified siRNA. Sodium chloride 0.9% w/v is used as PlaceboDrug

    IMP will be provided as a solution to be injected by qualified clinical staff in patient's abdomen, upper arms or front of the thighs.

What is being measured

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

  1. # of participants with all AEs as assessed by CTCAE V4.0 included injection site reaction, will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up

    Measured: Up to two months

  2. 12 lead electrocardiogram parameters included PR, QTcF and QTcB will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up

    Measured: Up to two months

  3. clinical chemistry, haematology, urinalysis, liver function tests (included ALT, AST, GGT) will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up

    Measured: Up to two months

  4. height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate and temperature will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up

    Measured: Up to two months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Biomarkers will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up

    serum hepcidin level (ng/ml), ferritin level (ug/L), Transferrin saturation (%), iron level (umol/L), haemoglobin and reticulocyte count will be analysed by central laboratory.

    Measured: Up to two months

  2. Pharmacokinetic of SLN124 in plasma from baseline to post dose follow up

    Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) will be analysed by central laboratory.

    Measured: Up to two months

  3. Pharmacokinetic of SLN124 in plasma from baseline to post dose follow up

    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) will be analysed by central laboratory.

    Measured: Up to two months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study of Non-transfusion-dependent Thalassemia and Low Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by Silence Therapeutics plc at 5 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 5 inclusion and 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Bulgaria, United Kingdom. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

# of participants with all AEs as assessed by CTCAE V4.0 included injection site reaction, will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up (time frame: Up to two months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Apr 2020.
