About this study

Official title: Placebo-Controlled, Ascending Single-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of CHF 5074 in Healthy Young Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral doses of CHF 5074 in young healthy male volunteers.

Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CHF5074 after single oral administration to young healthy male volunteers.

The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of CHF5074 after single oral administration to young healthy male volunteers. The secondary endpoint of this study is to verify if CHF5074 plasma levels (Cmax and AUC0-t) increase proportionally with the dose (dose-linearity).

The exploratory objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics of CHF5074 after single oral administration to young healthy male volunteers. The respective exploratory endpoint is to assess the relationship between individual maximum CHF5074 plasma concentrations and corresponding A-beta42 plasma concentrations corrected for baseline A-beta42 levels.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CHF 5074 in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by CERESPIR 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 5 inclusion and 21 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 10 Feb 2015. 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. 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 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?

Adverse Events (time frame: from Screening through Day +3). 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 NCT00954252, which also lists 20 linked publications.

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 10 Feb 2015.
