Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Anthrax, a narrower term within Bacterial Infections.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

This field study is a post-marketing requirement from the FDA to evaluate the clinical benefit (course of illness and survival), safety and pharmacokinetics of obiltoxaximab administered to patients as part of their medical care for treatment or prophylaxis of inhalational anthrax infection following exposure to Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis). The protocol can be implemented for any individual who receives obiltoxaximab for a suspected, probable, or confirmed case of inhalational anthrax due to B. anthracis in the United States, including sporadic cases, small incidents and/or a mass event. In case of a small anthrax incident, to the extent possible, the information will be collected prospectively at prespecified time points, except where it would interfere with management of the subject's illness. However, because of the logistical complexities that would likely accompany a mass anthrax event, most data in this study are anticipated to be collected retrospectively. Both retrospective and prospective data collection are allowed to maximize information collection. This study will collect data on the use of obiltoxaximab in anthrax infected or exposed subjects and the data collected will inform the understanding of the clinical benefit and safety of obiltoxaximab.

Lead sponsor

Elusys Therapeutics is the lead sponsor of 7 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.

Compared within Anthrax, this study's primary condition as ClinicalTrials.gg classifies it; the registry's first condition term is Bacterial Infections. The counts are of registry records indexed under each term, refreshed daily. How we classify →

Inclusion criteria

  • Men and women (including pregnant and lactating women) and children of all ages who receive obiltoxaximab as part of their clinical care for anthrax infection and are willing and able to give written themselves or through legally acceptable representative (for minors, unconscious adults or deceased subjects) to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • There are no exclusion criteria defined for this study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

    Obiltoxaximab

    This is an open label, 24-week, single arm field study that will be implemented for subjects who receive FDA-approved obiltoxaximab as part of their medical treatment for inhalational anthrax infection in the United States. Adult subjects will be administered a single, intravenous (IV) dose of 16 mg/kg obiltoxaximab given as part of their medical care. Children will receive a weight-adjusted dose. The primary purpose of the study is to collect data from subjects who have been treated with obiltoxaximab as part of their medical care for inhalational anthrax and to collect additional blood samples for measurement of obiltoxaximab concentrations and presence of anti-therapeutic antibodies (ATA).

    Other: Collection of samples · Biological: Obiltoxaximab

Interventions

  • OtherCollection of samples

    To the extent possible, blood samples will be collected from all subjects prior to infusion and at specified time points post-infusion to determine serum obiltoxaximab concentrations and ATA titers. Scavenged blood samples can be utilized, if acceptable, to maximize sample analyses for pharmacokinetic and other investigational parameters. Data on other relevant laboratory testing will only be collected and evaluated if available in the subject's record (eg, protective antigen (PA), anti-PA, anti-lethal factor (LF), anti-edema factor, IgG antibodies, anthrax lethal toxin neutralizing activity, presence of anthrax LF, incidence and duration of B. anthracis bacteremia, and demonstration of B. anthracis antigens in tissues).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall survival in suspected, probable, or confirmed cases of inhalational anthrax at Week 24

    Overall survival will be summarized by frequency of subjects who completed the study at Week 24, and subjects who died before that visit. Population survival distribution function (SDF) will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method.

    Time frame: Up to Week 24

Secondary outcomes

  1. Survival at Day 14 and Day 28

    Population survival rates at 14 and 28 days will be estimated using the KM method.

    Time frame: Up to Day 28

  2. Duration of survival (to Week 24)

    The KM method will be used to estimate duration of survival.

    Time frame: Up to Week 24

  3. Disease progression and associated complications rates of anthrax (meningitis, pleural effusion, ventilator support) (to Week 24)

    The progression to systemic anthrax infection and complication rates will be summarized using KM estimates associated with time to disease progression and time to complication of anthrax. The population SDFs of time to progression to systemic anthrax infection and of time to complication will be estimated using the KM method. Summary statistics of subjects with disease progression and complication rates will be provided.

    Time frame: Up to Week 24

  4. Modified SOFA score (to Week 24)

    Modified sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores will be assessed using 5 organ systems (respiratory, liver, cardiovascular, central nervous system, renal).

    Time frame: Up to Week 24

  5. Incidence and duration of B. anthracis bacteremia

    Incidence and duration of B. anthracis bacteremia will be summarized by total incidence across time points of subjects with bacteremia and time from study drug administration to onset of bacteremia.

    Time frame: Up to Week 24

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 14, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
