Trial summary

Scarring of the lung, termed pulmonary fibrosis (PF), is a chronic, progressive, and usually fatal disorder. While two anti-fibrotic drugs have been approved for treating PF of unknown cause (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or IPF), neither drug is curative, and nearly 40% of patients stop taking the prescribed drug… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Use of the Src Family Kinase Inhibitor Saracatinib in the Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Scarring of the lung, termed pulmonary fibrosis (PF), is a chronic, progressive, and usually fatal disorder. While two anti-fibrotic drugs have been approved for treating PF of unknown cause (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or IPF), neither drug is curative, and nearly 40% of patients stop taking the prescribed drug within a year because of side effects. The study includes the use of saracatinib, an investigational drug originally developed to treat certain types of cancers, in the treatment of IPF in a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial.

The objectives of this study are to: i) evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and to explore the efficacy of saracatinib in IPF; ii) identify biomarkers of Src kinase activity and fibrogenesis linked to pulmonary fibrosis; and iii) explore the application of these biomarkers to assess the anti-fibrotic effect of saracatinib in IPF patients

Read the detailed description

This is a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-dose, four-site trial. The trial is a biomarker based, integrated Phase 1b/2a clinical trial involving 100 subjects. One group (n=50) will receive placebo, while the other group (n=50) will receive 125 mg of oral saracatinib once daily.

Randomization will be stratified by center. The randomization scheme will be in random blocks of 2 and 4 within each stratum to maintain balance. In the second part of the trial, we will use a simple randomization scheme to achieve the 8:1 randomization across sites. The study is designed to have interim analysis of the drop-out rates when approximately 30% of the randomized patients have achieved the 24-week assessment. Should the drop-out rate be higher than the 20% that is anticipated, a new sample size calculation will be performed to make sure that the power of the study is maintained at 80% .

Duration of follow-up will be 28 weeks including 24 weeks of treatment with saracatinib or placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of saracatinib in IPF as measured by frequency of adverse events

    Safety data will be listed and summarized with patient counts and percentages in each treatment arm

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Tolerability of saracatinib in IPF as measured by Severity of adverse events

    A listing of all adverse events by patient will be presented. This listing will include patient number, adverse event (actual term and preferred term), event stand and end dates, CTCAE grade, relationship to the study drug/procedure, seriousness and outcome. A listing of SAEs will be produced using the similar format. This is not a scale. It is a data capture tool.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Pharmacokinetics of saracatinib in IPF as measured by serum levels

    Serum levels of saracatinib

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. Pharmacodynamics of saracatinib in IPF as measured by change in serum β-CTX

    Change in serum β-CTX as a Src kinase dependent biomarker

    Measured: 24 weeks

  5. Efficacy of saracatinib in IPF as measured by change in FVC

    Change in FVC from baseline

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Efficacy of saracatinib in IPF (HRCT)

    Change in HRCT quantitative analysis of the extent of pulmonary fibrosis. The analysis of HRCT data will involve data-driven texture analysis (DTA), a machine learning method capable of automatic detection and quantification of lung fibrosis on HRCT

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Efficacy of saracatinib in IPF (DLCO) as measured by change in DLCO

    Change in diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO)

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Efficacy of saracatinib in IPF (exacerbations) as measured in time to first acute exacerbation

    Time to the first acute exacerbation

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. Efficacy of saracatinib in quality of life in IPF (SGRQ) as measured by total score on SGRQ questionnaire

    Total score on the SGRQ questionnaire. St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) is a 50-item, self-administered, respiratory-specific questionnaire with items covering three domains: symptoms, activities, impacts. Each domain and a total score range from 0-100, with higher scores connoting greater impairment.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  5. Efficacy of saracatinib in quality of life in IPF (L-IPF) as measured by total score on L-IPF questionnaire

    Total score on the L-IPF questionnaire. Living with IPF (L-IPF) is an IPF-specific questionnaire whose 43 items cover two modules: symptoms and impacts. A model-based scoring algorithm has been developed via psychometric methods.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Saracatinab in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), run by National Jewish Health at 4 sites in United States.

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 23 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Safety of saracatinib in IPF as measured by frequency of adverse events (time frame: 24 weeks). 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?
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 14 Nov 2024.
