About this study

This study is a multicenter, open-label, uncontrolled, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to evaluate mainly the safety and tolerability of 12-week repeated intravenous administration of E6011. A total of 24 subjects will enroll into four cohorts. Six subjects per cohort will receive repeated intravenous administration of E6011.

Read the detailed description

This study consists of Screening Phase, Observation Phase, Treatment Phase, Extension Phase, and Follow-up Phase. Screening assessments will be performed between 42 to 2 days before study drug administration. Observation Phase assessments will be performed a day before or on a day of the initial administration to confirm the eligibility of subjects. The eligible subjects will receive the repeated intravenous administration of E6011. E6011 will be dissolved in physiological saline (nearly 100 mL) for approximately 30-minute infusion. During the Treatment Phase, for the first and second cohorts, E6011 will be administered every 2 weeks up to Week 10, a total of 6 times (with a double dose at Week 0). For the third and fourth cohorts, E6011 will be administered at Weeks 0, 1 and 2, then every 2 weeks up to Week 10, a total of 7 times. Under no safety concerns, Crohn's Disease Activity (CDAI) is less than 150 or a decrease in CDAI from the Observation Phase is greater than 70 and a subject intends to continue administrations, the subject will receive a total of 20 subsequent biweekly administrations (40 weeks) at stable dose (Extension Phase). Subjects will be hospitalized for 24 hours after the initial and second administrations for postdose monitoring and will have out-patient monitoring until 12 weeks after the initial administration. If hospitalization is difficult after the second administration, the subjects can be held at the hospital for 6 hours and then allowed to go home after confirmation of the safety. Subjects who roll over onto the Extension Phase will have continued monitoring until 52 weeks after the initial administration. When the subjects complete (Week 12 or Week 52) or discontinue the study, they will undergo an on-site follow-up 28 days after the study completion or discontinuation and an off-site follow-up or telephone interview 70 days after the final administration. The investigator will conduct full assessments of subjects safety next day of the second administration (24 hours after the second administration) to confirm presence of absence of study-related manifestations which may affect the study drug administration of next cohort. When the sponsor is informed of investigator's judgment on the sixth subject in each cohort, the appropriateness of next cohort will be judged based on the safety data available including the judgment of individual investigator on the next day of the second administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    TEAEs was defined as adverse event (AEs) that emerged during the treatment, having been absent at pretreatment (Baseline) or re-emerged during treatment, having been present at pretreatment (Baseline) but stopped before treatment, or worsened in severity during treatment relative to the pretreatment state, when the AE was continuous. An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participants or clinical study participant temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose if it resulted in death or life-threatening AE or required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization or resulted in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 62 (70 days after last dose of study drug)

  2. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change in Laboratory Parameters

    Clinical laboratory parameters included biochemistry, hematology, urinalysis and other screening test. Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory parameters which were deemed clinically significant by the investigator were reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 52

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change in Vital Sign Measurements

    Vital sign measurements included blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure) and pulse rate. Number of participants with clinically significant change in vital signs measurements which were deemed clinically significant by the investigator were reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 52

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Clinically Significant Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings

    Number of participants with treatment-emergent clinically significant abnormal ECG findings which were deemed clinically significant by the investigator were reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 52

  5. Number of Participants With Abnormal Chest X-ray Findings

    Number of participants with abnormal chest X-ray findings were reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 52

  6. Number of Participants With Neurological Findings

    Number of participants with neurological findings were reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 52

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Trough Serum Concentration of E6011 at Week 12 and 52

    Measured: Week 12: Pre-dose; Week 52: Pre-dose

  2. Number of Participants With Serum Anti-E6011 Antibody at Week 12 and 52

    Number of participants with serum anti-E6011 antibody were reported.

    Measured: At Week 12 and Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing E6011 2 mg/kg, E6011 5 mg/kg and E6011 10 mg/kg in people with Crohn's Disease, run by EA Pharma Co., Ltd. at 17 sites 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 8 inclusion and 24 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 30 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites 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. 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 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.

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

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 30 Jan 2023). 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Baseline up to Week 62 (70 days after last dose of study drug)). The study lists 6 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 NCT02039063, 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 30 Jan 2023.
