About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Cross-Over, Placebo- and Active-Controlled Cardiac Safety Study of Therapeutic and Supratherapeutic Doses of Fumaryl Diketopiperazine Administered as Technosphere® Inhalation Powder in Healthy Subjects

48 healthy adult male \& female subjects will be enrolled in this study to determine the effect of Technosphere® Inhalation Powder (FDKP) on the QT interval of the EKG. Eligible subjects will be randomized into a dosing regimen after admission.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, cross-over, placebo- and active-controlled cardiac safety study in 48 healthy subjects (both male and female subjects) designed to assess the effect of FDKP on cardiac repolarization, if any, following introduction of Technosphere® Inhalation Powder via inhalation. Each trial subject will be administered 20 mg of FDKP, 40 mg of FDKP, 400 mg oral dose of moxifloxacin (active), and placebo in a crossover design during an 11 day in-patient stay.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is the time-matched, placebo-subtracted change from baseline in QTc after a supratherapeutic dose of Technosphere Inhalation Powder

    Measured: 11 days

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. The time-matched change from baseline in QTc after therapeutic dose Technosphere® Inhalation Powder based on an individual correction (QTcI) method.

    Measured: 11 days

  2. The maximum change in time-matched, placebo-subtracted QT interval corrected by Fridericia formula (QTcF) and Bazett formula (QTcB), respectively, for supratherapeutic dose of Technosphere® Inhalation Powder.

    Measured: 11 Days

  3. The maximum change in time-matched, placebo-subtracted QT/QTc intervals by Fridericia formula (QTcF), and by Bazett formula (QTcB), respectively, for therapeutic dose of Technosphere® Inhalation Powder.

    Measured: 11 Days

  4. Change in ECG morphological patterns

    Measured: 11 Days

  5. Heart rate and RR interval.

    Measured: 11 Days

  6. PR interval.

    Measured: 11 Days

  7. QRS interval.

    Measured: 11 Days

  8. Correlation between the QTcI change from baseline and plasma concentrations of FDKP.

    Measured: 11 Days

  9. Plasma concentrations of FDKP.

    Measured: 11 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Technosphere Inhalation Powder (FDKP) and Moxifloxacin in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Mannkind Corporation 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 6 inclusion and 24 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 13 Jun 2012. 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?

The primary endpoint is the time-matched, placebo-subtracted change from baseline in QTc after a supratherapeutic dose of Technosphere Inhalation Powder (time frame: 11 days). 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 13 Jun 2012.
