What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs with onset dates on or after the study treatment start date and no later than 28 days after the permanent discontinuation of the study treatment and/or the AEs that led to premature discontinuation of study treatments.

    Measured: First dose date up to 4 weeks plus 28 days

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-emergent Laboratory Abnormalities

    A treatment-emergent laboratory abnormality was defined as an increase of at least 1 abnormality grade from baseline and occurring after the first dose of study drug and within 28 days after last study drug administration.

    Measured: First dose date up to 4 weeks plus 28 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUCtau of Edecesertib

    AUCtau is defined as the area under the concentration versus time curve over the dosing interval.

    Measured: Predose and up to 6 hours postdose at Week 4

  2. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Cmax of Edecesertib

    Cmax is defined as the maximum observed concentration of drug.

    Measured: Predose and up to 6 hours postdose at Week 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Edecesertib in people with Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus, run by Gilead Sciences at 5 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 5 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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. 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 5 Apr 2024). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (time frame: First dose date up to 4 weeks plus 28 days). 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 5 Apr 2024.
