About this study

Official title: Study 181-1-06-01 - Phase 1A Clinical Study With DAS181: Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single Dose Escalating Study in Healthy Adults

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and systemic exposure of an experimental influenza (flu) treatment medication called DAS181. DAS181 is a dry powder that is administered via oral inhalation using a special device. Study participants will include up to 60 healthy, non-smoking males and females, ages 18-65. They will be given either DAS181 or placebo. Participants will remain in the clinic overnight to be watched for health changes for 24 hours after receiving the medication. Study procedures include: physical exams, chest x-rays, ECGs, lung function tests, collection of blood and urine samples, and throat swabs. Follow-up visits will occur on study days 2, 7, 14 +/- 1 day, and 30 +/- 2 days. Participants will be involved in the study for up to 61 days, which includes the screening period.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of DAS181 encapsulated dry powder compared to placebo when administered by oral inhalation using a dry powder inhaler in healthy adults. Primary study outcome measures are the safety and tolerability of single-dose DAS181 treatment at 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 2.25 mg, and 4.5 mg, as measured in the following parameters: adverse events, physical exam, vital signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, blood coagulation, complement activation, haptoglobin and immunogenicity, urinalysis, throat swab for bacterial culture, ECG, chest X-ray, and spirometric lung function. Secondary outcome measures are the systemic exposure and pharmacokinetic parameters of DAS181. This phase 1 study will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation study conducted at Comprehensive Phase One Miramar campus. Thirty-six to 60 healthy male and female volunteers, 18-65 years (inclusive), will be enrolled in 4 separate steps. Each enrollment will recruit 9 subjects for one of the 4 dose groups. Within each dose group, the participants will be randomly assigned to placebo or DAS181, at 1:2 ratios. The subjects will receive a single-dose treatment by placebo (10.5 mg lactose), or by DAS181 at one of 4 doses: 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 2.25 mg, and 4.5 mg. The subjects will be screened and enrolled within 28 days prior to dosing of the study drug. The study will be initiated with 0.5 mg dose. Escalation to the next dose will be contingent upon meeting the dose escalation criteria after the study day 7 post dosing follow-up visit (Visit 4). The day of dosing is always defined as Day 0 (or study day 0), regardless of the step or cohort. All future visits and time periods are referenced to the day of dosing. Administration of DAS181 or placebo will be given under the supervision of the study staff. Subjects will enter the inpatient clinic on day -1, the evening prior to dosing. Subjects will remain in the inpatient clinic for 24 hours post exposure to be observed for signs of adverse events (AEs). After the 24-hour inpatient observation period, participants will be discharged if they are deemed healthy at that point. All subjects must come back for follow-up visits on the following study days: 2, 7, 14 (±1 day), and 30 (±2 days).

What participants receive

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

  • DAS181Drug

    DAS181 is formulated as dry powder and packaged in capsules containing DAS181. The delivered dose of DAS181 dry powder at each fill size is 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 2.25 mg, and 4.5 mg.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Capsules containing 10.5 mg of lactose will be supplied as placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing DAS181 in people with Influenza, run by Ansun Biopharma, 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?

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 8 Jan 2009. 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 a single-dose of DAS181 treatment at 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 2.25 mg, and 4.5 mg. (time frame: Duration of study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00527865, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Jan 2009.
