Trial summary

AZD6553 is a new drug being developed as a possible treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD refers to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, a pair of two commonly co-existing diseases of the lungs in which the airways become inflamed and the small airsacs of the lungs become damaged.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Part Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Oral Doses of AZD6553 in Healthy Volunteers (Parts A and B) and Patients (Part C) With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

AZD6553 is a new drug being developed as a possible treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD refers to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, a pair of two commonly co-existing diseases of the lungs in which the airways become inflamed and the small airsacs of the lungs become damaged. This leads to a limitation of the flow of air to and from the lungs causing shortness of breath. In contrast to asthma, the limitation of airflow is poorly reversible and usually gets progressively worse over time. There is an urgent medical need for therapies that could slow disease progression by targeting the underlying mechanisms associated with the changes in the lungs in patients with COPD. AZD6553 acts by reducing the activity of a protease found to be involved in the disease process in COPD. AZD6553 is being developed as a novel oral treatment to control the symptoms and exacerbations of COPD, and reduce the progression and severity of the disease. The purpose of this research study is to determine how safe and well-tolerated AZD6553 is and how much AZD6553 enters blood circulation by collecting blood and urine samples during the study. We are also investigating what AZD6553 is broken down into, when given orally, how much of the drug is cleared from the body via the kidneys, and the effect of taking the drug after food. This will all be done by analysis of blood and urine samples taken at various point during the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety variables (adverse events, ECG's blood pressure, pulse, safety lab)

    Measured: Part A Intensive sampling for 24 hours , frequent sampling up to 72 hours, Part B Frequent Sampling over 12 days with intensive sampling on Days 1-2 and 8-9

  2. Pharmacokinetic variables:-Cmax, AUC, tmax and t1/2

    Measured: Part A Intensive sampling for 24 hours , frequent sampling up to 72 hours, Part B Frequent Sampling over 12 days with intensive sampling on Days 1-2 and 8-9

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Lung Function SVC, IC, FEV1, FVC

    Measured: Part C Days 2, 7 and 14

  2. Pharmacokinetic variables; Urine CLR

    Measured: Part A Days 1 and 2, Part B, Days 1 and 2 and Days 8,9 and 10, and Part C Day 1 and Day 14

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted12 Feb 2010 (estimated)
  2. Study startFeb 2010
  3. Primary completionMay 2010
  4. Study completionMay 2010

Why it stopped: temporary hold in May 2010 due to an emerging PK profile that could not be aligned to the known pharmaceutical properties of the IMP (AZD6553).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD6553 in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 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 United Kingdom. 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 was stopped early (reason given: temporary hold in May 2010 due to an emerging PK profile that could not be aligned to the known pharmaceutical properties of the IMP (AZD6553).). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Safety variables (adverse events, ECG's blood pressure, pulse, safety lab) (time frame: Part A Intensive sampling for 24 hours , frequent sampling up to 72 hours, Part B Frequent Sampling over 12 days with intensive sampling on Days 1-2 and 8-9). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Sep 2010.
