  • Participation in any clinical investigation within 4 weeks prior to dosing or longer if required by local regulations, and for any other limitation of participation based on local regulations.
  • Donation or loss of 400 mL or more of blood within 8 weeks prior to first dosing, or longer if required by local regulation.
  • Significant illness within 2 weeks prior to dosing.
  • A past medical history of clinically significant ECG abnormalities.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single Escalating Doses of Intravenous QAX576

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • QAX576Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and tolerability of single escalating doses of QAX576 as assessed by vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), adverse events, laboratory evaluations, up to 96 hours after drug administration, and telemetry up until 24 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Exploration of pharmacokinetics of QAX576 and its pharmacodynamic effects on interleukin 13 (IL-13) concentration data. Samples collection at pre-dose and up to 48 hours post-dose.

  2. Assess the immunogenicity of QAX576 in healthy subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing QAX576 in people with Healthy, run by Novartis at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 10 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 1 Oct 2010. 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 United States. 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. 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?

Safety and tolerability of single escalating doses of QAX576 as assessed by vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), adverse events, laboratory evaluations, up to 96 hours after drug administration, and telemetry up until 24 hours post dose. 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 1 Oct 2010.
