Phase 1 Subcutaneous Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study of BG00010 (Neublastin)

February 5, 2015 updated by: Biogen

Study of Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of BG00010 (Neublastin) Intravenous and Subcutaneous Single Ascending Doses in Healthy Volunteers, and Subcutaneous Multiple Ascending Doses in Subjects With Painful Lumbar Radiculopathy

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a range of single intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) doses of BG00010 in healthy volunteers, and a range of multiple SC doses of BG00010 in participants with painful lumbar radiculopathy. Secondary objectives of this study are to determine the single IV and SC dose pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of BG00010 in healthy volunteers including assessment of bioavailability by comparing SC exposure to IV exposure in each participant, to determine the multiple SC dose PK profiles of BG00010 in participants with painful lumbar radiculopathy, to assess the single IV and SC dose immunogenicity of BG00010 in healthy volunteers, to assess the multiple SC dose immunogenicity of BG00010 in participants with painful lumbar radiculopathy, and to assess the potential of BG00010 to reduce pain following multiple SC administrations in participants with painful lumbar radiculopathy.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)
