What is being measured

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

  1. Immunogenicity Screening Incidence to Detect the Presence of Anti-PegG-CSF Antibodies.

    Immunogenicity (anti-drug antibody; ADA) data is presented for all subjects' samples collected and a descriptive analysis is provided for immunogenicity (ADA) data.

    Percentage incidence within + 10% of the expected ADA positivity incidence of Test (6% ADA in Test is anticipated from literature) is not considered clinically significant.

    Evaluation of immunogenicity is carried out in a tiered fashion:

    1. Screening assay to assess if samples were positive or negative for anti-PegG-CSF.
    2. Confirmatory assays for samples that were positive in the screening assay. The confirmatory assays assessed if antibodies were specific for INTP5, Neulasta, PEG and/or filgrastim.
    3. Titer assay was performed to determine titer of the anti-PEG-GCSF antibody samples.
    4. Neutralizing antibody (NAb) assay for those samples that were positive in the confirmatory assays to assess the neutralizing capability of the antibody to inhibit pegfilgrastim activity.

    Measured: Samples (8 mL each) were withdrawn at screening, at pre-dose and at 336 (D-15, Week 2), 504 (D-22, Week 3, within 60 minutes before 2nd dose), 840 (D-36, Week 5), 1176 (D-50, Week 7), 1680 (D-71, Week 10) and 2016 (D-85, Week 12) hours after first dose.

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. PK Endpoints: Pegfilgrastim C[Max]

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of the test and reference formulations were assessed by measuring serum Pegfilgrastim concentration.

    Maximum measured serum concentration, calculated from the serum concentration vs. time profile of the individual subjects.

    Measured: Venous blood samples (4 mL each) were withdrawn at pre-dose and at 8, 16, 24 (Day 2), 48 (Day 3), 72 (Day 4), 96 (Day 5), 120 (Day 6), 144 (Day 7), 240 (Day 11), 336 (Day 15) and 504 (Day 22) hours following 1st and 2nd dose, administration.

  2. PK Endpoints: Pegfilgrastim AUC[0-t]

    Area under the serum concentration vs. time curve, calculated by linear trapezoidal rule from measured data points from the time zero to the time of last quantified concentration.

    Measured: Venous blood samples (4 mL each) were withdrawn at pre-dose and at 8, 16, 24 (Day 2), 48 (Day 3), 72 (Day 4), 96 (Day 5), 120 (Day 6), 144 (Day 7), 240 (Day 11), 336 (Day 15) and 504 (Day 22) hours following 1st and 2nd dose, administration.

  3. PK Endpoints: Pegfilgrastim AUC[0-∞]

    Area under the serum concentration versus time curve from time zero to infinity. Where AUC[0-infinity]= AUC[0-t] + Ct/lambda-z, Ct is the last measurable concentration and lamda-z is the terminal rate constant. AUC[0-infinity] is the sum of measurable and extrapolated parts.

    Measured: Venous blood samples (4 mL each) were withdrawn at pre-dose and at 8, 16, 24 (Day 2), 48 (Day 3), 72 (Day 4), 96 (Day 5), 120 (Day 6), 144 (Day 7), 240 (Day 11), 336 (Day 15) and 504 (Day 22) hours following 1st and 2nd dose, administration.

    Measured: Venous blood samples (4 mL each) were withdrawn at pre-dose and at 8, 16, 24 (Day 2), 48 (Day 3), 72 (Day 4), 96 (Day 5), 120 (Day 6), 144 (Day 7), 240 (Day 11), 336 (Day 15) and 504 (Day 22) hours following 1st and 2nd dose, administration.

  5. PK Endpoints: Pegfilgrastim λz (Lambda-z)

    Terminal rate constant: First order rate constant associated with the terminal (log-linear) portion of the curve. This was estimated via linear regression of time vs. log concentration. This parameter was calculated by linear least squares regression analysis using last three or more nonzero plasma concentration values.

    Measured: Venous blood samples (4 mL each) were withdrawn at pre-dose and at 8, 16, 24 (Day 2), 48 (Day 3), 72 (Day 4), 96 (Day 5), 120 (Day 6), 144 (Day 7), 240 (Day 11), 336 (Day 15) and 504 (Day 22) hours following 1st and 2nd dose, administration.

  6. PK Endpoints: Pegfilgrastim R^2 Adjusted

    Goodness of fit statistic for the terminal phase, adjusted for the number of points used in the estimation of λz (lambda-z). R^2 is the coefficient of determination and can range from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating greater predictability.

    Measured: Venous blood samples (4 mL each) were withdrawn at pre-dose and at 8, 16, 24 (Day 2), 48 (Day 3), 72 (Day 4), 96 (Day 5), 120 (Day 6), 144 (Day 7), 240 (Day 11), 336 (Day 15) and 504 (Day 22) hours following 1st and 2nd dose, administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing INTP5 and US Neulasta in people with Immunogenicity and Healthy Volunteers, run by Intas Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. at 1 site in India.

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 25 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 4 Oct 2019. 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 India. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Oct 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?

Immunogenicity Screening Incidence to Detect the Presence of Anti-PegG-CSF Antibodies. (time frame: Samples (8 mL each) were withdrawn at screening, at pre-dose and at 336 (D-15, Week 2), 504 (D-22, Week 3, within 60 minutes before 2nd dose), 840 (D-36, Week 5), 1176 (D-50, Week 7), 1680 (D-71, Week 10) and 2016 (D-85, Week 12) hours after first dose.). 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 4 Oct 2019.
