What is being measured

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

  1. Cohort 2: Baseline Absolute Lymphocyte Count in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)

    The primary CSF endpoint of Cohort 2 was the percent change from baseline in absolute lymphocyte counts in CSF after 3 doses of PF-00547659. The hypothesis for the primary endpoint was evaluated using the CSF evaluable population in Cohort 2. CSF samples were obtained via lumbar puncture and analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for total lymphocyte counts. Lumbar punctures were performed by a highly qualified physician using a 20-22 gauge needle, preferably an atraumatic needle.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Cohort 2: Percent Change From Baseline in Absolute Lymphocyte Count in CSF at Month 3

    The primary CSF endpoint of Cohort 2 was the percent change from baseline in absolute lymphocyte counts in CSF after 3 doses of PF-00547659. The hypothesis for the primary endpoint was evaluated using the CSF evaluable population in Cohort 2. CSF samples were obtained via lumbar puncture and analyzed by FACS for total lymphocyte counts. Lumbar punctures were performed by a highly qualified physician using a 20-22 gauge needle, preferably an atraumatic needle.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Cohorts 1 and 2: Total Number of Participants With Non-Lumbar Puncture (LP) Related Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs), Withdrawals Due to AEs, and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the 12-week Treatment Period

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. Treatment-emergent for this measure are events between first dose of study drug and up to 85 days (Week 12) after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included serious and non-serious AEs.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 12

  2. Cohorts 1 and 2: Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) to PF-00547659

    Serum samples were analysed for presence of ADAs to PF-00547659. Participants who showed positive results for PF-00547659 were reported.

    Measured: Day 1; Weeks 4, 8, 9-11 (Cohort 2 only), 12, 20, 28, and 36; Early Withdrawal

  3. Cohorts 1 and 2: Number of Participants With Injection Site Reactions by Severity

    Injection site reaction AEs include: injection site irritation, injection site pain, injection site rash, contusion, and erythema.

    Measured: Baseline till End of Study/Early Withdrawal, up to Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing lumbar puncture in people with Crohn's Disease and Ileitis, run by Shire at 9 sites in 5 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 5 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 3 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Netherlands. 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 26 Apr 2017). 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?

Cohort 2: Baseline Absolute Lymphocyte Count in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) (time frame: Baseline). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01387594, 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 3 Jun 2021.
