About this study

Official title: A Phase 2a, Ascending Dose, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety of CTX-100 (Formerly ETX-100) Inhalation Solution in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of administering repeated doses of CTX-100 (formerly ETX-100) to subjects with smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Read the detailed description

The study primarily aims to establish safety and evaluate biochemical activity of CTX-100 (formerly ETX-100) with respect to elastin breakdown, but will also concurrently gather data that may point to efficacy. The preliminary efficacy results will be used to assist in the design of subsequent phase 2b clinical studies of longer duration to examine both efficacy and safety of CTX-100 as a therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

What participants receive

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

  • CTX-100 (formerly ETX-100) (hyaluronic acid)Drug

    Also called CTX-100, ETX-100, Hyaluronic acid

    3 mL of either 0.01%, 0.03% CTX-100 (formerly ETX-100), or placebo will be dispensed into the PARI LC STAR nebulizer and inhaled using the PARI Ultra II compressors.

    Number of cycles: if the study drug (0.01% CTX-100 Inhalation Solution or placebo) bid is well tolerated in the first cohort, the second cohort of subjects will begin dosing with 0.03% CTX-100 Inhalation Solution or placebo in the same manner as the first cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of vital signs, laboratory tests, carbon monoxide (CO) diffusing capacity, oxygen saturation, electrocardiograms (ECGs), physical examinations, and adverse events

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of elastin breakdown as measured by levels of elastin crosslinking amino acids desmosine/isodesmosine (D/I) in induced sputum, plasma, and urine.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CTX-100 (formerly ETX-100) (hyaluronic acid) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Turino, Gerard, M.D. at 3 sites 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 9 inclusion and 12 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 5 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 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?

Assessment of vital signs, laboratory tests, carbon monoxide (CO) diffusing capacity, oxygen saturation, electrocardiograms (ECGs), physical examinations, and adverse events (time frame: 1 month). 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 5 Dec 2019.
