What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study or use of investigational drug product, whether or not the AE was considered related to the investigational drug product. An AE was to be regarded as a TEAE if it was present prior to receiving the first dose of Study Drug and subsequently worsened or was not present prior to receiving the first dose of Study Drug but subsequently appeared.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Observed Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Concentration for ISIS 443139

    Measured: Days 1, 29, 57, 85, and 113 or 141

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ISIS 443139 10 mg, ISIS 443139 30 mg and ISIS 443139 60 mg in people with Huntington's Disease, run by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 9 sites in 3 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 6 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 31 May 2019. 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 United Kingdom, Germany, Canada. 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 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 31 May 2019). 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-related Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Up to approximately 28 weeks). 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 NCT02519036, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 31 May 2019.
