About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Open-Label Study to Assess the Durability and Safety of the Prevention of Bone Loss by Treatment With GL701 (Prestara™) in Women With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Receiving Treatment With Glucocorticoids

Open label safety and efficacy follow-up.

Read the detailed description

This was a randomized, multi-center, open-label, parallel-group, trial of prasterone 200 or 100 mg/day for 12 months in women with lupus receiving glucocorticoid therapy who had completed an earlier 6-month randomized, placebo-controlled study (NCT00053560. Bone Mineral Density assessments were performed at baseline and at months 6 and 12.

Being tested
Prasterone (GL701)

What participants receive

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

  • Prasterone (GL701)Drug

    There were 4 arms to the study:

    During a previous 6 month db RCT, patients received either prasterone 200 mg/day or placebo. Upon entry into this open-label study, they were re-assigned by randomized allocation to receive either prasterone 200 mg/day or 100 mg/day. Hence, there were 4 possible treatment arms extending over the 18 months of observation between the double-blind study and the subsequent 12 month open-label extension study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maintenance of bone mineral density (BMD) in women with systemic lupus erythematosus receiving glucocorticoids.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Prasterone (GL701) in people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by Genelabs Technologies at 22 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in United States, Mexico. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Maintenance of bone mineral density (BMD) in women with systemic lupus erythematosus receiving glucocorticoids. (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00082511, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Jan 2008.
