About this study

A 52-Week, Open-Label, Multicentre Study to Evaluate the Safety of Tralokinumab in Japanese Adults and Adolescents with Asthma Inadequately Controlled on Inhaled Corticosteroid plus Long-Acting β2-Agonist

Read the detailed description

This is a 52-week, open-label, multi-centre study designed to evaluate the safety of tralokinumab in a fixed 300 mg dose every 2 weeks, administered subcutaneously in adults and adolescents with indequately controlled asthma on medium to high dose inhaled corticosteroid plus long acting β-2 antagonist. Approximately 26 Japanese subjects will be recruited to receive 22 completed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE was development of an undesirable medical condition or deterioration of a pre-existing medical condition following or during exposure to a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered causally related to product. An undesirable medical condition can be symptoms, signs or the abnormal results of an investigation. In clinical studies, an AE can include an undesirable medical condition occurring at any time, including run-in or washout periods, even if no study treatment has been administered. A SAE was an AE occurred during any study phase that fulfils one or more of the following criteria: death; immediately life-threatening, in-patient or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions; congenital abnormality or birth defect; important medical event that may jeopardise participant or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: From Screening (Day -14) up to 14 weeks after end of treatment (Week 66).

  2. Number of Participants With Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities

    Blood and urine samples for determination of clinical chemistry, haematology and urinalysis parameters were taken at the times. Changes in haematology and clinical chemistry variables between baseline and each subsequent scheduled assessment were evaluated. Baseline is defined as the last available value measured prior to the first dose of study treatment. The change from baseline is defined as the treatment period value minus the baseline period value. Absolute values were compared to the relevant reference range and classified as low (below range), normal (within range or on limits) or high (above range). The AstraZeneca extended reference ranges were used for laboratory variables (where they exist). All values (absolute and change) falling outside the reference ranges were flagged. Urinalysis data were categorised as negative (0), trace or positive (+) at each time point.

    Measured: From Screening (Day -14) up to 14 weeks after end of treatment (Week 66).

  3. Number of Participants With Abnormal Physical Examinations

    Physical examination included assessment of general appearance, skin, head and neck (including eyes, ears, nose, mouth and throat), lymph nodes, abdomen, musculoskeletal (including spine and extremities), cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological systems. Criteria for abnormal physical findings were based on investigator's discretion.

    Measured: From Screening (Day -14) up to 14 weeks after end of treatment (Week 66).

  4. Number of Participants With Vital Signs Abnormalities

    Vital signs that were planned to be assessed included parameters such as pulse, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, respiration rate and body temperature.

    Measured: From Screening (Day -14) up to 14 weeks after end of treatment (Week 66).

  5. Number of Participants With 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities

    The ECG assessments were performed using an ECG device prior to blood drawing, spirometry, investigational product administration and bronchodilator administration. ECG data and evaluation was planned to be performed by the site Investigator.

    Measured: At Day -14 and Week 52.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tralokinumab open-label in people with Inadequately Controlled Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 3 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 5 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 phase mean?

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Sep 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 Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: From Screening (Day -14) up to 14 weeks after end of treatment (Week 66).). The study lists 5 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 NCT02902809, 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 Sep 2019.
