What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients with Adverse Events

    Adverse events will be determined by evaluating clinical, laboratory evaluations, impact on vital signs and impacts on ECGs and other safety assessments.

    Measured: Day 113

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. QGE031 serum concentration

    Blood will be collected for the determination of serum QGE031 concentrations. Cmax, Tmax, Area Under the curve (AUC), terminal half-life of serum QGE031. These parameters will be determined using non-compartmental methods.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 2, 4, 12, 24, 48, and 96 h post-dose, Days 8, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99 and 113

  2. Free and total IgE serum concentrations

    Blood will be collected to measure serum IgE concentrations. Cmin, Tmin, and percent decrease of free IgE serum concentration will be determined. Cmax, Tmax, and percent increase of total IgE serum concentration will be determined.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 2, 4, 12, 24, 48, and 96 h post-dose, Days 8, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99 and 113

  3. FcεRI expression and IgE binding on basophiles

    Blood will be collected to measure FcεRI expression and IgE binding on basophiles. Lots of individual values and mean values over time will be provided.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 2, 24, 48, 96 h post-dose; Days 8, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, and 113

  4. Immunogenicity (Anti-QGE031 antibody in serum)

    Blood will be collected to measure Immunogenicity. The number and percentage of subjects producing anti-QGE031 antibody will be presented.

    Measured: Pre-dose, Days 29, 57 and 113

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing QGE031 in people with Allergy, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Japan.

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 2 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 22 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Number of Patients with Adverse Events (time frame: Day 113). 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 22 Nov 2012.
