Ofatumumab Dose-Finding in RRMS Patients - Full Text View

Sponsors and Collaborators:	Genmab GlaxoSmithKline
Information provided by:	Genmab
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00640328

Purpose

Ofatumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets a unique epitope on the CD20 molecule on the surface of B lymphocytes. Ofatumumab has been administered to several more than 500 patients in various indications.

The purpose of the trial is to investigate the safety (Part A) and the dose response of three doses of ofatumumab compared to placebo (Part B) in subjects with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). The dose response as well as the effect of redosing of three doses of ofatumumab compared with placebo is explored on the brain disease activity as measured by MRI scans in adults with RRMS.

For clarification: In Part A the patients are treated in cohorts of increasing doses of ofatumumab, whereas in Part B patients will be randomised to one of three ofatumumab dose groups or placebo.

Further study details as provided by Genmab:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Safety and dose response of three doses of ofatumumab compared to placebo. The dose response will be determined on disease activity (lesions) as measured by MRI scans of the brain in subjects with RRMS. [ Time Frame: 6 months (efficacy/dose response - Part B, Safety - Part A) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetic profile and efficacy of ofatumumab compared to placebo in RRMS patients [ Time Frame: Safety (2 years), Efficacy (6 months/12 months) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment:	324
Study Start Date:	April 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date:	September 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	September 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Part B - I: Experimental Parallel groups	Drug: ofatumumab/placebo 2 treatment courses (2x2 I.V. infusions) with a 6 month interval
Part B - II: Placebo Comparator Parallel groups	Drug: ofatumumab/placebo 2 treatment courses (2x2 I.V. infusions) with a 6 month interval
