About this study

Official title: A Phase I Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MN-221 When Administered Intravenously to Subjects With Stable Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The objective of this clinical study is to determine the safety of intravenous MN-221 compared to placebo when administered in subjects diagnosed with stable moderate to severe COPD.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center dose escalation study in subjects diagnosed with stable moderate to severe COPD. The study will be conducted in approximately 6 Clinical Research Units (CRUs).

Subjects with a diagnosis of stable moderate to severe COPD will be screened and must demonstrate an improvement in FEV1 after bronchodilator treatment of at least 12% at Screen Visit 1. The subject's degree of dyspnea will be captured on the British Medical Research Council (MRC) questionnaire, and severity will be determined by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) spirometric criteria. Subjects meeting entry criteria at Screen Visit 1 will be asked to return to the CRU for Screen Visit 2 within 14 days of Visit 1. Subjects confirming entry criteria including degree of COPD severity by spirometry at Screen Visit 2 will be randomized to receive either MN-221 or placebo. Serial spirometry will be performed over the 8 hour treatment period after initiation of study drug administration. Subjects will be discharged from the CRU after completing the Hour 8 study procedures and asked to return approximately 24 hours after initiation of study drug for follow up safety assessments including spirometry. A study diary will be provided to each subject upon discharge from the CRU to complete as instructed and return it to the site at the 24 hour Follow-up Visit.

There will be three dose levels and each will include approximately 16 subjects randomized to receive either MN-221 or placebo in 3:1 ratio (12 subjects receive MN-221:4 subjects receive placebo). A risk/benefit evaluation will be performed by the study's Safety Review Committee at completion of each dose level prior to escalating to the next dose level.

Safety and efficacy will be monitored throughout the treatment period. Blood samples for PK parameters and metabolite identification will be obtained.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse events, cardiac and ECG parameters, vital signs, physical exam and clinical laboratory assessments.

    Measured: Hour 0 (treatment) through Hour 24 (follow-up)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pharmacokinetic parameters of MN-221.

    Measured: Pre-dose to Hour 24 post-dose

  2. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1).

    Measured: Pre-dose to Hour 24 post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MN-221 (Dose Group 1), MN-221 (Dose Group 2) and MN-221 (Dose Group 3) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by MediciNova at 7 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 10 inclusion and 16 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 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 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, cardiac and ECG parameters, vital signs, physical exam and clinical laboratory assessments. (time frame: Hour 0 (treatment) through Hour 24 (follow-up)). 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 May 2015.
