About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Clinical Activity of Itolizumab in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed Acute Graft Versus Host Disease

To evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and clinical activity of Itolizumab in subjects with Newly diagnosed Acute Graft Versus Host Disease(aGVHD).

Read the detailed description

The study will enroll approximately 44 subjects in three parts:

Part 1 is an open label 3+3 single dose escalation phase and will enroll approximately 30 subjects with aGVHD across 4 cohorts, where subjects will receive Itolizumab administered intravenously for 1 dose.

Part 2 is an open label phase and subjects from part 1 will receive Itolizumab administered intravenously every two weeks for a total of 4 doses.

Part 3 is a randomized phase and will enroll approximately 14 additional subjects, randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the 2 recommended doses provided by Part 1 and Part 2. Subjects will receive Itolizumab administered intravenously every two weeks for a total of 5 doses.

Being tested
Itolizumab, Methylprednisolone

What participants receive

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Itolizumab and Methylprednisolone in people with Acute Graft Versus Host Disease, run by Biotech Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 23 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 25 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xijuan Song (010-51571020, songxijuan@biotechplc.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 (time frame: Study Day 85). 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 May 2023.
