What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 3 study tests setrusumab, a monthly IV infusion, in 6 Japanese children with osteogenesis imperfecta (types I, III, or IV), a condition that causes fragile bones and frequent fractures. The main goal is to see if the drug lowers the number of fractures, including spine fractures. All participants have had at least one fracture in the past year and have used or are using bisphosphonate therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
setrusumab (a monoclonal antibody given by IV infusion once a month)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a treatment that lowers fracture rates in children with brittle bone disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, open-label study with only 6 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Setrusumab may not reduce fractures as hoped, and side effects from the infusion are possible.
Why investors are watching

Ultragenyx is running a phase 3 study of setrusumab in six Japanese children with osteogenesis imperfecta, a bone disease that causes frequent fractures. The trial measures whether the drug reduces fracture rates, including spine fractures. For a small company, this readout matters because setrusumab is a key pipeline asset, and a clear result could shape its value.

If it works: If setrusumab lowers fracture rates in these patients, Ultragenyx could have evidence to support regulatory approval in Japan and broader use of the drug. That outcome could strengthen the company's position in treating rare bone diseases.

If it fails: The trial enrolls only six participants, so results may be hard to interpret even if the drug works. If the drug fails to reduce fractures or the study faces delays, Ultragenyx loses a potential revenue source and may need to redirect resources.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of OI Type I, III, or IV confirmed by identification of genetic mutation in COL1A1 or COL1A2 * History of ≥ 1 fracture in the past 12 months, ≥ 2 fractures in the past 24 months, or ≥ 1 femur, tibia, or humerus fracture in the past 24 months * Any prior exposure to, or currently receiving, IV-bisphosphonate therapy for treatment of OI * Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level ≥ 20 ng/mL at the Screening visit. If 25- hydroxyvitamin D levels are below 20 ng/mL, the subject may be rescreened after a minimum of 14 days of vitamin D supplementation as directed by the Investigator Exclusion Criteria: * History of skeletal malignancies or bone metastases at any time * History of neural foraminal stenosis (except if due to scoliosis) * Clinical manifestations of Chiari malformation or basilar invagination. Presence of any other neurologic disease that has been clinically unstable within past 2 years requires review by the Medical Monitor. * History of or current uncontrolled concomitant diseases that may impact bone metabolism, such as hypo/hyperparathyroidism, abnormal thyroid function, nephrotic syndrome, or Stage IV/V renal disease * Any skeletal condition (other than OI) leading to bone deformity and/or increased risk of fractures, such as rickets, osteopetrosis, idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis, or skeletal dysplasia * History of known cardiovascular disease such as coronary artery anomaly, Kawasaki disease, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, stroke, or thromboembolic disease. Individuals with other congenital or acquired cardiovascular disease necessitating an echocardiogram require Medical Monitor review. Investigators should consider whether the potential benefits of treatment outweigh the potential risks in patients with cardiovascular risk factors such as confirmed arterial hypertension. * Hypocalcemia, defined as serum calcium levels below the age-adjusted normal limit reference ranges after a recommended ≥ 4 hour fast, at Screening * Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤ 35 mL/min/1.73 m2 at Screening * Prior treatment with growth hormone, denosumab, anti-sclerostin antibody, or other anabolic or anti-resorptive medications impacting the bone (other than bisphosphonates) at any time * History of external radiation therapy * Known hypersensitivity to setrusumab or its excipients that, in the judgment of the Investigator, places the subject at increased risk for adverse effects * Presence or history of any condition that, in the view of the Investigator, would interfere with participation, pose undue risk, or would confound interpretation of results * Use of any investigational product or investigational medical device within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of investigational drug prior to Screening, or during the study (per discretion of the Investigator in consultation with the Medical Monitor) * Concurrent participation in another clinical study without prior approval from the study Medical Monitor * Pregnant or nursing
