About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Dose, Oral, Dose Escalation Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerance of MF 101 as Well as the Pharmacokinetics of Its Key Active Components in Healthy Post-Menopausal Women.

This Phase I trial in healthy, post-menopausal women is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, ascending single-dose safety trial. MF101 will be administered as a single oral dose to a total of 32 enrolled subjects between the ages of 40-65 years. Eight subjects will be assigned to each of four cohorts. Within each cohort, six subjects will be randomized to receive MF101 and two subjects will receive placebo. MF101 doses will be incrementally escalated until the stopping criteria are reached. If stopping criteria are reached before the fourth cohort receives dosing, the next cohort may receive a dose between the dose that was administered to the cohort exhibiting symptoms of MF101 toxicity and the next lower dose group.

Read the detailed description

The primary goal of this study is to identify the highest safe oral dose of MF101 that is well tolerated in humans.

Secondary goals include: characterizing clinical symptoms of MF101 toxicity in healthy subjects and evaluating the dose-dependent pharmacokinetics of key MF101 active components after a single oral dose.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identify the highest oral dose of MF101 that is safe and tolerated in humans.

  2. Number and type of adverse events

  3. Clinical laboratory including: Chemistry, hematology, blood coagulation and urinalysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MF101 in people with Healthy, run by Bionovo 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 11 inclusion and 28 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 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 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Identify the highest oral dose of MF101 that is safe and tolerated in humans.. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Aug 2008.
