About this study

Official title: IMP321 Phase I Study of Four Increasing Doses (3, 10, 30 and 100 µg) of a New Immunostimulatory Factor (IMP321) Given Alone or as an Adjuvant to a Reference Flu Antigen in Healthy Young Male Volunteers

This study is a single centre, single blind, placebo (step 1) or reference (step 2) randomised study. Healthy young male volunteers will receive single ascending dose of IMP321 in each step (4 doses tested: 3, 10, 30 and 100 µg). In step 1, IMP321 will be given alone and tested versus placebo (physiological saline). In step 2, the association IMP321 + Agrippal (commercially available flu vaccine) will be tested versus Agrippal alone.

Read the detailed description

This study is divided in two steps:

Step 1 (20 volunteers): IMP321 will be given alone and tested versus placebo (physiological saline)

In this first step, 4 group doses (of four subjects each) will be evaluated versus a placebo group of 4 subjects:

  • Group IMP321 alone at 3 µg,
  • Group IMP321 alone at 10 µg,
  • Group IMP321 alone at 30 µg,
  • Group IMP321 alone at 100 µg.

In order to complete these groups, four successive cohorts of volunteers will be studied:

Cohort A will correspond to the dose 3 µg and will include:

  • 4 subjects treated by IMP321 3 µg alone
  • 1 subject treated by placebo

If the tolerability of this cohort is acceptable, the following cohort will be done.

Cohort B will correspond to the dose 10 µg and will include:

  • 4 subjects treated by IMP321 10 µg alone
  • 1 subject treated by placebo

If the tolerability of this cohort is acceptable, the following cohort will be dose.

Cohort C will correspond to the dose 30 µg and will include:

  • 4 subjects treated by IMP321 30 µg alone
  • 1 subject treated by placebo

If the tolerability of this cohort is acceptable, the following cohort will be done.

Cohort D will correspond to the dose 100 µg and will include:

  • 4 subjects treated by IMP321 100 µg alone
  • 1 subject treated by placebo

Step 2 (40 volunteers): The association IMP321 + Agrippal will be tested versus the Agrippal alone.

In this second step, 4 group doses (of eight subjects each) will be evaluated versus a reference group (Agrippal + physiological saline) of 8 subjects:

  • Group Agrippal + 3 µg of IMP321,
  • Group Agrippal + 10 µg of IMP321,
  • Group Agrippal + 30 µg of IMP321,
  • Group Agrippal + 100 µg of IMP321.

In order to complete these groups, four successive cohorts of volunteers will be studied.

Cohort A will correspond to the dose 3 µg of IMP321 and will include:

  • 8 subjects treated by Agrippal + IMP321 3 µg
  • 2 subjects treated by Agrippal + physiological saline

If the tolerability of this cohort is acceptable, the following cohort will be done.

Cohort B will correspond to the dose 10 µg of IMP321 and will include:

  • 8 subjects treated by Agrippal + IMP321 10 µg
  • 2 subjects treated by Agrippal + physiological saline

If the tolerability of this cohort is acceptable, the following cohort will be done.

Cohort C will correspond to the dose 30 µg of IMP321 and will include:

  • 8 subjects treated by Agrippal + IMP321 30 µg
  • 2 subjects treated by Agrippal + physiological saline

If the tolerability of this cohort is acceptable, the following cohort will be done.

Cohort D will correspond to the dose 100 µg of IMP321 and will include:

  • 8 subjects treated by Agrippal + IMP321 100 µg
  • 2 subjects treated by Agrippal + physiological saline.

This study will be a single centre, single blind, placebo (step 1) or reference (step 2) randomised study.

Healthy young male volunteers will receive single ascending dose of IMP321 in each step. Treatments will be administered as a subcutaneous injection on the mornings of Day 1. The injection will be done subcutaneously (s.c.) in the deltoid area of the non dominant arm.

The pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed by IMP321-specific ELISA testing of the samples collected from the 4 volunteers receiving 100 µg IMP321 alone. Blood samples will be taken on the morning of Day 1 before dosing then at 0.5, 1, 4, 24 and 48 h after dosing.

Blood samples (for T cell assays) and serum samples (for hLAG-3Ig- and HA-specific antibody detection by ELISA) will be taken on the morning of Days 1, 29 and 57.

Monitoring for the occurrence of adverse events (AE), changes in physical examination, vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration), electrocardiograms (ECG) and clinical laboratory tests (biochemistry, haematology, urinalysis) will be performed before and after each dose of the study drug to assess safety and tolerability.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IMP321 and saline in people with Healthy, run by Immutep S.A.S. at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate clinical and laboratory safety and tolerability profiles (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2008.
