About this study

Official title: Phase I Single Dose Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of a New Formulation of Bowman Birk Inhibitor Concentrate, Delivered as an Orange Juice Suspension to Healthy Male Volunteers Between 18 and 65 Years of Age

This randomized phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of Bowman-Birk inhibitor concentrate in healthy men. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of Bowman-Birk inhibitor concentrate may prevent cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Assess the toxicity of single-dose Bowman-Birk Inhibitor Concentrate (BBIC) when administered as a suspension in orange juice in healthy male participants.

II. Determine the appropriate dose range and doses to be used in a subsequent phase I multiple-dose BBIC study that will be based upon the data gathered from this phase I single-dose study.

III. Characterize the pharmacokinetics of single-dose BBIC.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of Bowman-Birk Inhibitor Concentrate (BBIC). Participants are sequentially assigned to 1 of 4 dose level cohorts. One participant in each dose level cohort is randomized to receive placebo or BBIC.

Participants receive a single dose of oral BBIC or placebo, as an orange juice suspension, immediately followed by consumption of a defined low-fat breakfast. Participants continue to consume a low-fat diet for the next 48 hours and then resume their normal diet.

Participants undergo blood and urine sample collection periodically for pharmacokinetic studies. Samples are analyzed by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure concentrations of BBIC and its metabolites in serum and urine.

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed once weekly for 4 weeks.

Being tested
Bowman-Birk inhibitor concentrate, placebo, pharmacological study, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Recommended phase II dose, defined as the highest dose level at which none of the subjects in that dose group experience DLT as measured by NCI Common Toxicity Criteria

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

  2. Pharmacokinetics of BBIC in the serum as measured by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

    Presented in a form of time course of serum BBI concentration after BBIC ingestion by the study subjects and peak concentration (Cmax), time to reach peak concentration (Tmax), area under the curve (AUC), and elimination rate constant (kel) and serum half-lives (t1/2) will be calculated for each subject. Mean, median, and 95% confidence interval will then be calculated for each parameter for each dose group. The relationship between dose and the above parameters will be investigated using simple linear regression.

    Measured: Immediately before BBIC administration and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, and 48 after administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bowman-Birk inhibitor concentrate, pharmacological study and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Healthy, no Evidence of Disease, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 34 inclusion and 0 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 29 Dec 2016. 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?

Recommended phase II dose, defined as the highest dose level at which none of the subjects in that dose group experience DLT as measured by NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (time frame: Up to 48 hours). 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 29 Dec 2016.
