About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ALD518 in the Reduction of Oral Mucositis in Subjects With Head and Neck Cancer Receiving Concomitant Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALD518 in modifying the course of oral mucositis in subjects with head and neck cancer receiving concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy

Read the detailed description

This was a Phase 2, placebo-controlled, double-blind study in subjects newly diagnosed with head and neck cancer (who had not received previous treatment for oral mucositis) and who were receiving concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Subject eligibility, including tumor staging, was assessed during the screening period, which was to occur within 30 days prior to the initiation of radiation therapy. The radiation therapy treatment period was approximately 7 weeks, depending on the subject's prescribed radiation plan. Prior to the randomized portion of the trial, the first 7 subjects enrolled in the study entered a safety run-in evaluation and received a total of 2 doses of open-label clazakizumab 160 mg IV, 4 weeks apart (Day 0 and Week 4 of radiation); these subjects were not eligible for the randomized portion of the study. Subsequent to completion of the safety run-in, eligible subjects were randomized 1:1:1 to treatment with 2 doses of clazakizumab 160 mg, or clazakizumab 320 mg, or placebo, administered IV 3 weeks apart (Day 0 and Week 3 of radiation therapy). All subjects were to be followed for 4 weeks post last day of radiotherapy treatment for the primary efficacy and safety assessments and then for up to an additional 12 months of long-term follow-up.

    Measured: Up to 15 months

  3. Percent of Participants With All Grades of Oral Mucositis (OM) at a Radiation Dose of 55 Gy

    Gray (Gy) is used as a unit of the radiation quantity absorbed dose that measures the energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a unit mass of matter being irradiated, and is used for measuring the delivered dose of ionizing radiation in applications such as radiotherapy. The 55 Gy ulcerative OM assessment is defined as the first ulcerative OM assessment that occurred on the day of or after the subject received the radiation therapy that first resulted in their cumulative dose of radiation being ≥ 55 Gy

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  4. Number of Participants With All Grades of OM at a Radiation Dose of 55 Gy

    The 55 Gy ulcerative OM assessment is defined as the first ulcerative OM assessment that occurred on the day of or after the subject received the radiation therapy that first resulted in their cumulative dose of radiation being ≥ 55 Gy

    Measured: Measured from onset of OM through Week 12

  4. Number of Participants With Severe OM at Varying Cumulative Radiation Doses (Gy)

    The severe OM assessment at a specific cumulative radiation dose (35 Gy, 45 Gy, 55 Gy or 65 Gy) is defined as the first severe OM assessment that occurred on the day of or after the subject received the radiation therapy that first resulted in the specific cumulative dose of radiation being ≥35 Gy, ≥45 Gy, ≥55 Gy or≥ 65 Gy

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  5. Duration of Ulcerative and Severe OM

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  6. Time to Onset of Ulcerative and Severe OM

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  7. ALD518 Plasma Concentration at Varying Weeks

    Measured: Baseline and up to 12 weeks

  8. Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire (OMDQ) Overall Health Score at Varying Cumulative Radiation Doses (Gy)

    Scored on a scale from 0 (worst possible overall health) to 10 (perfect overall health). Higher scores represent better overall health.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 12 weeks

  9. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Head and Neck (FACT-HN) Questionnaire Overall Assessment Score at Varying Cumulative Radiation Doses (Gy)

    The FACT-HN consists of 28 general + 11 head and neck specific items, each rated on a 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) Likert type scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 148. Higher scores represent better quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 12 weeks
