What participants receive

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

  • Eculizumab (Soliris®)Drug

    Eculizumab 300 mg, 600 mg, 900 mg or 1200 mg will be administered intravenously

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement in Systemic TMA & Vital Organ Involvement at 8 weeks of treatment defined as either complete or partial responder based on hematologic normalization/improvement & clinically important improvement in Vital Organs: Brain, Kidney, and Thrombosis

    Analysis of primary endpoint will occur after all patients have reached 8 weeks of treatment. The response rate will be summarized as patients who are either a complete or partial responder.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Eculizumab (Soliris®) in people with Shiga-like Toxin-producing Escherichia Coli, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 22 sites in Germany.

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 3 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 5 Apr 2013. 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 Germany. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Improvement in Systemic TMA & Vital Organ Involvement at 8 weeks of treatment defined as either complete or partial responder based on hematologic normalization/improvement & clinically important improvement in Vital Organs: Brain, Kidney, and Thrombosis (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 5 Apr 2013.
