Trial summary

Ofatumumab is a fully-human monoclonal antibody that exhibits high binding affinity to an antigen on the surface of B lymphocytes. Antigen engagement by ofatumumab results in maximal B-cell killing through complement-dependent cytotoxicity and antigen-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in both antigen high- and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase I Study to Evaluate the Effect of Ofatumumab on Cardiac Repolarization (QTc Duration) in Patients With Fludarabine-Refractory B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Ofatumumab is a fully-human monoclonal antibody that exhibits high binding affinity to an antigen on the surface of B lymphocytes. Antigen engagement by ofatumumab results in maximal B-cell killing through complement-dependent cytotoxicity and antigen-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in both antigen high- and low-expressing cells. Recent research has shown that ofatumumab-dependent B-cell depletion provides clinical benefit to subjects with CD20-positive cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The purpose of the current study is to assess the impact of ofatumumab on electrocardiographic parameters with particular focus on cardiac repolarization (QTc interval duration) in subjects with refractory CLL. Subjects enrolled in this open-label, single-arm trial will receive ofatumumab at the highest clinical dose (2000 mg) studied or planned for study. Ofatumumab will be administered as eight weekly intravenous (IV) infusions followed by four monthly infusions, beginning in Week 13, across a 25-week treatment period. Cardiovascular effects will be evaluated during treatment through routine 12-lead electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring. The pharmacokinetic relationship between plasma concentration of ofatumumab and its effect on QTc interval duration will be examined. Specifically, ECG assessments will be collected in triplicate at baseline, at the time of maximum ofatumumab concentrations periodically on-therapy, and at the end of treatment. After completion of the final ofatumumab infusion, subjects will continue to be followed for safety and efficacy for six months relative to the last ofatumumab dose.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiac Repolarization (Fredericia's QTc)

    ECGs are collected in triplicate during the study to assess QTc effect.

    Measured: 25-week ofatumumab treatment period

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Plasma concentrations of ofatumumab and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters

    The pharmacokinetic results will be correlated to ECG findings to determine if drug concentrations relate to any ECG effects.

    Measured: 25-week ofatumumab treatment period

  2. Vital signs, weight, adverse events

    Safety and tolerability of ofatumumab therapy will be determined by analysing changes in vital signs, weight, or development of adverse events.

    Measured: 25-week ofatumumab treatment period plus 6-month follow-up after final ofatumumab infusion

  3. Flow cytometry

    Efficacy of ofatumumab therapy will be measured by the number of CD20 positive cells in the blood

    Measured: 25-week ofatumumab treatment period plus 6-month follow-up after final ofatumumab infusion

  4. Cytokine, chemokine, human anti-human antibodies

    Effect of ofatumumab on circulating biomarkers in refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) subjects will be determined by measuring changes in the cytokine, chemokine, human anti-human antibody levels.

    Measured: 25-week ofatumumab treatment period plus 6-month follow-up after final ofatumumab infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ofatumumab in people with Leukaemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 4 sites in 3 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 13 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in New Zealand, United States, Australia. 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?

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?

Cardiac Repolarization (Fredericia's QTc) (time frame: 25-week ofatumumab treatment period). 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 NCT01110031, 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 13 Nov 2017.
