About this study

Official title: First-In-Human Study of AK1320 Encapsulated Microspheres (AK1320 MS) In Subjects With Degenerative Spondylolisthesis and Concomitant Symptomatic Spinal Stenosis Who Are Undergoing Decompression And Single Level Instrumented Posterolateral Lumbar Autograft Fusion Surgery

The safety and efficacy of AK1320 MS will be evaluated in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis and concomitant symptomatic spinal stenosis who are undergoing decompression and single level instrumented posterolateral lumber autograft fusion surgery.

Read the detailed description

This will be a first in human Phase I, ascending dose, multi-center, randomized patient study evaluating the efficacy, safety, PK of AK1320 MS. The study will enroll up to 4 dose escalating cohorts with each cohort having 2 treatment groups. Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 (AK1320 MS group (n=3-7); Control group (n=0-3)) and Cohort 3 and Cohort 4 (AK1320 MS group (n=6-7); Control group (n=0-3)).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Summary of Neurological Status

    Neurological status will be determined preoperatively and postoperatively using a comprehensive neurological status scale. Neurological status is based on four types of measurements: lower extremity motor, dermatomal sensation, reflexes and straight leg raise.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Successful Fusion

    Fusion will be evaluated through CT scans. Successful fusion will be defined as complete bridging bone between the index level transverse processes with a lack of lucency or lucent lines through the fusion mass.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (ODI)

    Measured: 24 months

  3. 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36v2®)

    Measured: 24 months

  4. AK1320 plasma concentrations

    Measured: Pre-op(day 0), Post-op (day 0, day1), 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks and 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AK1320 MS in people with Degenerative Spondylolisthesis and Spinal Stenosis, run by Asahi Kasei Therapeutics Corporation at 7 sites in Canada.

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 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 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in 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. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor decision). Results are not available in the source record.

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 Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Mar 2024.
