About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomised, Dose-Escalation Phase I Safety Study Of A Single Vaginal Administration Of P2G12 Antibody In Healthy Female Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of intravaginal administration of P2G12. 11 subjects will receive P2G12/placebo. Three subjects in Group 1 will receive up to 7mg of P2G12, or placebo. Three subjects in Group 2 will receive up to 14mg of P2G12, or placebo and five subjects in Group 3 will receive up to 28mg of P2G12, or placebo. A safety review will take place before subjects in Groups 2 and 3 receive study drug to determine if it is safe to proceed to the next dose of P2G12. Vaginal and cervical inspections will be performed to determine what effect, if any, the study drug has had on the site of administration. Adverse event data will be collected throughout the trial.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase I study in healthy women aged 18 to 50 years, which involves vaginal application of study drug P2G12 or placebo.

P2G12 is a monoclonal antibody (MAb) (a kind of protein), and belongs to a group of MAbs that can help to prevent and protect from HIV infection. Most of these MAbs have been produced using a system called Chinese Hamster Ovary cell (CHO-Cell) fermentation, e.g. C2G12. This method of production is very expensive and cannot produce enough MAbs on a scale required for the global market.

Unlike C2G12, P2G12 is manufactured from plants. It is hoped that plant manufacture of such MAbs may offer some solutions to the high cost and low output of CHO-cell fermentation.

This study is designed to confirm the safety of a vaginally delivered MAb (P2G12) derived from plants and manufactured to Good Manufacturing Practice (a quality standard used for the manufacture of medicinal products).

11 subjects will be enrolled consecutively in cohorts (groups); in each successive cohort a higher dose of study drug will be administered, as well as placebo. The dose range is from up to 7 to up to 28mg of P2G12 in saline.

Subjects attend 7 visits over 13 weeks. At visit 3 subjects receive a single administration of study drug/placebo. Study visits include the following procedures: physical exam, vital signs, blood and urine samples, cervical smear test and colposcopy (medical examination of the cervix).

The relationship of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) to P2G12 administration, and abnormal laboratory test results as compared to baseline (pre-dose) values, will determine the safety of P2G12 in the study.

Levels of P2G12 in vaginal and serum samples will be measured at particular time-points in order to understand how quickly P2G12 is broken down by the body (pharmacokinetics) and whether any P2G12 is absorbed into the systemic circulation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing P2G12 in people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus, run by University of Surrey 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 5 inclusion and 11 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 22 Dec 2011. 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 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?

Occurrence, intensity and relationship to P2G12 administration of local and general adverse events (AEs) throughout the study period after drug administration. (time frame: 35 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 22 Dec 2011.
