What is being measured

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

  1. Absolute Bioavailability Of Ravulizumab Subcutaneous (SC)/rHuPH20

    Dose-normalized area under the serum concentration versus time curve from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-inf) and body weight-adjusted AUC0-inf for the ravulizumab/rHuPH20 SC cohorts were compared with the 400 mg ravulizumab intravenous (IV) cohort to determine absolute bioavailability. Geometric mean ratios of the AUC0-inf parameter were calculated for each group. Absolute bioavailability is reported as the geometric mean ratio, which was defined as the ratio of geometric means for the dose-normalized AUC0-inf parameter (with and without body-weight adjustment) for the ravulizumab SC cohort divided by that for the ravulizumab IV cohort.

    Measured: Day 1 (after first dose) to Day 200

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An AE was reported as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Serious AEs (SAEs) were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose resulted in death, life threatening, required hospitalization, resulted in persistent disability or incapacity, resulted in birth defect, or other situations. A summary of serious and all other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Day 1 (after first dose) up to Day 200 (including safety follow up)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Relative Bioavailability Of Ravulizumab SC/rHuPH20 Compared With Ravulizumab SC

    Dose-normalized AUC0-inf and body weight-adjusted AUC0-inf for the ravulizumab/rHuPH20 SC cohorts were compared with the 400 mg ravulizumab SC cohort to determine relative bioavailability. Geometric mean ratios of the AUC0-inf parameter were calculated for each group. Relative bioavailability is reported as the geometric mean ratio, which was defined as the ratio of the geometric means for the dose-normalized AUC0-inf parameter (with and without body-weight adjustment) for the ravulizumab/rHuPH SC cohort divided by that for the ravulizumab SC cohort.

    Measured: Day 1 (after first dose) to Day 200

  2. Maximum Percent Change From Baseline (PCFB) In Serum Levels Of Total Complement Component 5 (C5) Concentrations

    The highest (maximum difference) mean (standard deviation [SD]) PCFB at up to Day 200 is reported. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first drug administration. Change from Baseline was calculated as observed value minus the baseline value. PCFB was calculated as change from baseline divided by baseline multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Baseline, Up to Day 200

  3. Maximum PCFB In Serum Levels Of Free C5 Concentrations

    The highest (maximum difference) mean (SD) PCFB at up to Day 200 is reported. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first drug administration. Change from Baseline was calculated as observed value minus the baseline value. PCFB was calculated as change from baseline divided by baseline multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 200

  4. Maximum PCFB In Ex Vivo Chicken Red Blood Cell (cRBC) Hemolysis Activity

    The highest (maximum difference) mean (SD) PCFB at up to Day 200 is reported. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first drug administration. Change from Baseline was calculated as observed value minus the baseline value. PCFB was calculated as change from baseline divided by baseline multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Baseline, Up to Day 200

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ravulizumab and rHuPH20 in people with Healthy, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 inclusion and 25 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 22 Jan 2024. 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 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jan 2024). 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?

Absolute Bioavailability Of Ravulizumab Subcutaneous (SC)/rHuPH20 (time frame: Day 1 (after first dose) to Day 200). The study lists 2 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 22 Jan 2024.
