What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    For adverse events that occurred after administration of the investigational drug, number of subjects with AEs and occurrence frequency are evaluated.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 43

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Serum KHK4951 concentration

    Measured: Healthy Volunteers: Day 1, Day2, Day4, Day8, Day12, Day16, Day21, Day23, Day 25, Day 29, Day 36, Day 43; Patients: Day 1, 8, 22, 43

  2. Time to the maximum concentration

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 43

  3. The maximum concentration

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 43

  4. Area under the concentration-time curve

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 43

  5. Apparent clearance

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 43

  6. Elimination half-life

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 43

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing KHK4951 in people with Healthy Volunteers and Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration, run by Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. at 1 site 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 12 inclusion and 12 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 18 May 2023. 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 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: The Sponsor judged that the objectives of this Phase 1 study were satisfied, and the study was terminated after the completion of Cohort 3 Step 3.). 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 (time frame: Day 1 to Day 43). 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 May 2023.
