About this study

Official title: A Phase IIa Safety Study of Oral Administration of Anti-CD3 Monoclonal Antibody in Non-responder Genotype-I Chronic Hepatitis C Subjects, a Single-blind, Randomized, Controlled Multi-center Study.

The use of oral aCD3 Monoclonal antibody (MAb) alone in subjects with hepatitis C is justified on the basis of scientific and medical reasons. There are data in multiple animal models that aCD3-alone confers efficacy in models of inflammatory or autoimmune disease and induces regulatory T cells and immune-modulation as desired in clinical studies. These observations are reinforced by data in the Phase 1 clinical study showing that aCD3-alone induced the desired immune-modulation in terms of immunological markers for regulatory T cells and appropriate rises and declines in certain cytokine levels.

Read the detailed description

Oral aCD3 MAb will be administered at a dosage level of 0.2 or 1.0 or 5.0 mg per day for 30 days. Up of 9 subjects will be treated at each dosage level, and up to 9 subjects will receive placebo buffered in normal saline that is used as diluents for the MAb. One 20mg tablet of Omeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) will be taken orally as part of the study drug cocktail in order to neutralize stomach pH for enhancing stability of the MAb. During the treatment period, subjects will ingest the study drug/s every day for 30 days, and will be followed for clinical and laboratory effects. Subjects will be followed up to Day 60 (30 days after termination of treatment)

Being tested
anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, Sodium Chloride placebo
Medical subject headings
Hepatitis C, Chronic

What is being measured

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

  1. This clinical study is designed to evaluate as Primary Objective the safety of oral administration of the study drug anti-CD3 MAb to non responder genotype I subjects with the chronic Hepatitis C.

    The safety and tolerability of oral administration of the study drug cocktail will be evaluated at Days 7, 14, 21 and 30 by physical examinations and thorough medical history and laboratory evaluations as described below and by the subject through his/her diary entries. In addition, subjects will be assessed for safety at Day 60

    Measured: 60

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Decrease in the concentration of HCV

    30 days

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Liver function test

    Changes in ALT will be used to evaluate effect on liver

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody in people with Chronic Hepatitis C, run by Inspira Medical AB at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 0 inclusion and 23 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Austria, Poland. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Waldemar Halota, Prof. (+48 52 325 56, kikchzak@cm.umk.pl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

This clinical study is designed to evaluate as Primary Objective the safety of oral administration of the study drug anti-CD3 MAb to non responder genotype I subjects with the chronic Hepatitis C. (time frame: 60). 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 25 Oct 2011.
