Trial summary

This study is the second human clinical study with PRTX-100. It is designed to assess the safety of a single intravenous (IV) dose of PRTX-100, as well as, how the drug is eliminated from the blood after dosing.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Dose Escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Doses of PRTX-100 in Healthy Adult Subjects

This study is the second human clinical study with PRTX-100. It is designed to assess the safety of a single intravenous (IV) dose of PRTX-100, as well as, how the drug is eliminated from the blood after dosing. Additionally, this study provides an opportunity to monitor immune system response to PRTX-100.

Read the detailed description

A total of 20 healthy subjects will be enrolled into one of two dosing cohorts. Each dosing cohort will consist of 10 subjects. Within each cohort, subjects will be randomized to clinical trial material (CTM) (PRTX-100 or placebo) such that 8 subjects receive PRTX-100 and 2 subjects receive placebo. The PRTX-100 doses to be assessed in an ascending fashion are: 0.30 mcg/kg and 0.45 mcg/kg. Dosing of Cohort 2 will occur after the Investigator reviews Day 0-14 safety data and confers with the Sponsor Medical Monitor.

Subjects will be confined to the clinical pharmacology research unit for 5 days following dosing. Each cohort will have safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic assessments over the 5-day post-dose period. Subjects will also have follow-up assessments at 6, 7, 10 (±1), 14 (±1), 30 (±2), and 60 (±2) days post-dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PRTX-100 (Staphylococcal protein A) in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Protalex, Inc. 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 4 inclusion and 18 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 6 May 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 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?

Pharmacokinetics (time frame: Various timepoints over 14 days). The study lists 2 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 6 May 2008.
