A Study of Efficacy and Safety of Ustekinumab in Patients With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) Who Had an Inadequate Response to Ursodeoxycholic Acid

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Phase 2, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Ustekinumab in Subjects With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Who Had an Inadequate Response to Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis who had an inadequate response to ursodeoxycholic acid.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a multi-center, randomized (treatment will be assigned by chance), placebo-controlled (an inactive substance will be compared with the test drug to see whether the drug has a real effect), parallel-group (two or more groups of patients will receive different treatments) study that will consist of two parts. Part 1 will be an open-label (all participants will know the identity of the treatment) proof-of-concept study. Part 2 will be contingent on the results of Part 1 and will be double-blind (investigators and patients will not know what treatment is being given) and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) who had an inadequate response to ursodeoxycholic acid. The duration of participation in the study for an individual participant may be up to 216 weeks. Patient safety will be monitored. Part 1: ustekinumab, 90mg subcutaneous (SC) at Weeks 0 and 4 and every 8 weeks through Week 20; Part 2: Depending on Part 1 results, either (ustekinumab 90mg or 45mg or placebo) or (ustekinumab 90mg or 180mg or placebo) SC at Weeks 0 and 4 and every 8 weeks through Week 20; Long-term Extension (including Part 1 and Part 2): beginning at Week 28, every 8 weeks with initially assigned dose until the extension dose has been selected; then every 8 weeks through Week 196 with the selected dose. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
