Trial summary

K-252a is a potent inhibitor of nerve growth factor (NGF) and therefore has the ability to inhibit keratinocyte proliferation. K-252a is strongly lipophilic and therefore passes freely into the cell membranes of keratinocytes and accumulates at a systemic level. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multiple Dose, Placebo Controlled Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Topically Administered CT327 in Healthy Male Volunteers

K-252a is a potent inhibitor of nerve growth factor (NGF) and therefore has the ability to inhibit keratinocyte proliferation. K-252a is strongly lipophilic and therefore passes freely into the cell membranes of keratinocytes and accumulates at a systemic level. In order to reduce the dermal absorption and reduce the possible long-term systemic toxicity this study will assess a PEGylated derivative of K-252a named CT327. This approach should improve the safety profile of the K-252a molecule while maintaining its activity. The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and repeat doses of CT327 when applied topically to the skin of healthy male volunteers.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the eventual systemic absorption (pharmacokinetics; PK) of CT327 following single and repeat doses in healthy male subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • 0.01% CT327 (or placebo)Drug

    Cream (10 g) was applied at an even thickness over a test area on the back of 10 x 10 cm to give an exposure of 1000 μg/dm2.

  • 0.001% CT327 (or placebo)Drug

    Cream (10 g) was applied at an even thickness over a test area on the back of 10 x 10 cm to give an exposure of 100 μg/dm2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety as defined by local tolerability, subject incidence of TEAEs, and clinically significant changes in lab safety tests, ECGs, vital signs and PE findings.

    Each subject received a single topical dose of CT327 (or placebo) followed by a single topical dose of CT327 (or placebo) on five consecutive days with a washout period of 7 days between the two dosing periods.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetic

    The secondary endpoint is determination of eventual CT327 plasma levels. PK blood sampling day 1: 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 2 h post dose on days 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study of Safety, run by Creabilis SA.

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 7 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 18 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?

Safety as defined by local tolerability, subject incidence of TEAEs, and clinically significant changes in lab safety tests, ECGs, vital signs and PE findings. (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 18 Nov 2010.
