What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Subjects Experiencing Treatment Emergent Adverse Events From Baseline Through End of Study

    Number of subjects experiencing at least one treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

  2. Severity of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events From Baseline Through End of Study

    Assessment of severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs).

    Severity is graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Modified for CF (CTCAE v4.03). For events not present in this listing the following grading was applied:

    Mild: Asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated; Moderate: Minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention indicated; discomfort sufficient to reduce or interfere with daily activities; Severe: Medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization may be indicated; disabling; limits self-care with significant interference with daily activities; incapacitating with inability to perform self care activities of daily living; Life-threatening: Urgent intervention indicated; immediate risk of death.

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

  3. Incidence of Subjects Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in Each Dose Cohort From Baseline Through End of Study Visit.

    DLT's were defined as an allergic reaction, acute bronchospasm or acute AEs of interest requiring (immediate) medical intervention.

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Subjects With Abnormalities Reported Regarding Laboratory Parameters, Vital Signs, ECG, Spirometry, and Physical Findings.

    Number of subjects experiencing at least one abnormality for the categories laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECG, spirometry and physical findings that were reported as treatment emergent adverse event with a relationship to study drug as either possibly, probably or definitely.

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

  2. Maximum Serum Concentration

    Cmax: QR-010 maximum serum concentrations

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

  3. Time to Maximum Serum Concentration

    Tmax: Time to Cmax of QR-010 serum concentrations.

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

  4. Terminal Half-life (T1/2)

    The terminal elimination half-life will be estimated by non-linear regression analysis of the terminal elimination slope

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

  5. Area Under the Curve to Final Sample [AUC(0-last)]

    Area under the curve to the final sample with a concentration greater than lower limit of quantification (LLQ) will be calculated using the linear trapezoidal method

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

  6. Area Under the Curve to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)]

    AUC0-∞: Area under the curve to infinity will be calculated based on the last observed concentration Clast(obs) using formula: AUC0-∞=AUClast+Clast(obs)/λz

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

  7. Serum Clearance (CL)

    CL: Serum clearance will be estimated using the formula: CL = Dose/AUC0-∞.

    Measured: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing QR-010 in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by ProQR Therapeutics at 27 sites in 10 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 6 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium, France and 5 more countries. 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 6 Feb 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?

Incidence of Subjects Experiencing Treatment Emergent Adverse Events From Baseline Through End of Study (time frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts). The study lists 3 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 NCT02532764, 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 6 Feb 2019.
