Trial summary

This study will assess the ability of AIN457 to attenuate the increase in airway neutrophils that is seen following ozone exposure. Healthy subjects will be treated with AIN457, placebo, or oral corticosteroid and the response to a subsequent ozone exposure will be evaluated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group Study With an Open Label Reference Arm to Assess the Effects of Intravenously Administered AIN457 on Ozone Induced Neutrophilia Compared to Placebo & Oral Corticosteroid in Healthy Volunteers

This study will assess the ability of AIN457 to attenuate the increase in airway neutrophils that is seen following ozone exposure. Healthy subjects will be treated with AIN457, placebo, or oral corticosteroid and the response to a subsequent ozone exposure will be evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total neutrophil cell count in 106/mL in induced sputum

    Measured: Day 16

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Serum total IL-17A

    Measured: Day 1- Day 120

  2. Percentage neutrophil cell count in induced sputum

    Measured: Day 16

  3. Safety and tolerability. Safety assessments will include vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECG), spirometry, pulse oximetry, immunogenicity and adverse events (AEs)

    Measured: Day 1-Day 120

  4. Airway function (FEV1, FVC, and FEF25-75)

    Measured: 4h, 24h, and 48h after the start of the ozone exposure

  5. Serum AIN457 pharmacokinetics (PK)

    Measured: Day1-Day 120

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AIN457 and prednisolone in people with Healthy, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 9 Apr 2010. 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 Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Total neutrophil cell count in 106/mL in induced sputum (time frame: Day 16). 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 9 Apr 2010.
