About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MEDI-557 in Healthy Adults Intranasally Challenged With Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

The primary objective is to evaluate the suitability of the challenge model in measuring the efficacy of MEDI-557 compared to placebo in healthy adult participants for the reduction in the incidence of RSV through 12 days post-RSV challenge with the RSV Memphis-37 strain.

Read the detailed description

This is designed to be a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study. Approximately 30 participants will be randomized, dosed and followed. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive a single intravenous (IV) dose of MEDI-557 or placebo. Participants will be inoculated with RSV-A. Participants will be followed for efficacy for 12 days post-RSV challenge. Safety follow-up will be approximately 12 months from randomization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MEDI-557 in people with RSV Infection, run by MedImmune LLC 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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jul 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants Developing Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection Post-RSV Challenge Measured by Plaque Assay Culture (time frame: From Day 4 to Day 15). 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 21 Jul 2017.
