Information source: Biogen
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Healthy

Intervention: BIIB017 (PEGylated Interferon Beta-1a) (Drug); Placebo (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Biogen

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Medical Director, Study Director, Affiliation: Biogen

Summary

The primary objectives are to identify the highest safe and well-tolerated dose and frequency of BIIB017 (PEGylated Interferon Beta-1a) subcutaneous (SC), within the range of 63 to 188 mcg, when given every other week or every 4 weeks to healthy volunteers (HV).

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple-Dose, Dose-Ranging, Parallel-Group Study of PEGylated Interferon Beta-1a (BIIB017) in Healthy Volunteers

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

The number of participants that experience Adverse Events (AEs)

The number of participants that experience flu-like symptoms

Participant assessment of injection site pain as measured by scores on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is extremely painful.

Clinician assessment of the injection site for erythema as assessed by a scale 0 to 3, where 0 represents no erythema and 3 represents severe erythema

Clinician assessment of the injection site for induration as assessed by a scale 0 to 3, where 0 represents no induration and 3 represents severe induration

Clinician assessment of tenderness to digital pressure at the injection site will be assessed on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 represents no tenderness and 3 represents severe tenderness

Clinician assessment of temperature at the injection site will be assessed on a scale of 0 to 2, where 0 represents normal temperature and 2 represents hot.

Secondary outcome:

AUC168h, area under the concentration-time curve

Cmax, observed maximum serum concentration

Tmax, time to reach maximum serum concentration

Terminal t½, half-life of the terminal phase

EAUC-336h, area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 336 hours post-dose

Emax, the peak concentration observed minus baseline concentration

PD parameters of serum concentrations of neopterin

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: 45 Years. Gender(s): Both.

- Subjects who received a tattoo or body piercing (including earring) within 60 days of

baseline or subjects who are considering getting a tattoo or body piercing (including earring) in the next 60 days.

- Use of any prescription or non-prescription medication that could inhibit bone marrow

or liver function.

- Any previous treatment with any interferon product.

- Participation in any other investigational drug study within the 4 weeks prior to Day

1 or within 5 half-lives of the investigational treatment, whichever is longer.

- Treatment with the Flu Vaccine within 1 week prior to Day 1.
