About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of AVI-7100 in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and pharmacology of single administrations of AVI-7100, a candidate treatment for influenza.

Read the detailed description

Influenza A, a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family, is composed of a negative-sense,single-stranded and segmented ribonucleic acid (RNA) genome. An urgent need exists for new forms of treatment for influenza A based on (a) the known propensity of this virus to undergo both continuous low-level antigenic drift and less frequent but unpredictable major antigenic shift leading to pandemic disease, (b) the clear failure of vaccination, even when strains are reasonably matched, to prevent influenza-related illness in a significant proportion of vaccine recipients, and (c) the increased frequency of resistance to approved forms of therapy for influenza (eg, the adamantane derivatives and, more recently, the NA inhibitor, oseltamivir). AVI-7100 is an experimental phosphorodiamidate morpholino antisense oligomers with positive charges on selected subunits (PMOplus™). AVI-7100 specifically targets viral messenger RNA sequences. The present study is designed to characterize the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of escalating single-administration doses of AVI-7100 in healthy human subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AVI-7100 in people with Influenza, run by Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. 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 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 11 Jun 2013. 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. 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: The study was halted after enrollment of the first cohort because of lack of funding). 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?

Number of subjects experiencing adverse events (time frame: 28 days). 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 11 Jun 2013.
