About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 1 Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of 3K3A-APC, a Recombinant Variant of Human Activated Protein C (APC), in Healthy Adult Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of single and multiple ascending intravenous doses of 3K3A-APC in healthy adult subjects aged 18-55 years.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, sequential-cohort, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single- and multiple-ascending dose study. Eligible adult subjects will be assigned sequentially to 1 of 10 cohorts, at successively higher single doses, followed by successively higher multiple doses.

Single IV Doses: 5 subjects per cohort, aged 18-55, will be randomized in a 4:1 manner to receive active drug (6, 30, 90, 180, 360, and TBD µg/kg) or to receive matching placebo (Cohorts 1-6).

Multiple IV Doses: 8 subjects per cohort, aged 18-55, will be randomized in a 3:1 manner to receive active drug (90, 180, 360, and TBD µg/kg) or to receive matching placebo every 12 hours for 5 doses (Cohorts 7-10).

Single-Dose Cohorts Subjects receiving a single dose will be confined in a Phase 1 unit for 12 hours prior to dosing, during dosing, and for 24 hours after dosing (Study Day 1-2) for observation and PK sampling. Subjects will return on Study Day 4 (~72 hours after infusion) and Study Day 15 for additional safety evaluations. A 28-Day follow-up phone call will be made to subjects to collect AEs that occur within 28-days of the dose.

Multiple-Dose Cohorts Subjects receiving multiple doses will be confined in a Phase 1 unit for 12 hours prior to dosing through 24 hours following the last dose (Study Day 1-4) for observation and PK sampling. Subjects will return on Study Day 6 (~72 hours after last infusion) and Study Day 15 for additional safety evaluations. A 28-Day follow-up phone call will be made to subjects to collect AEs that occur within 28-days of the last dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 3K3A-APC, diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride in water and 0.9% NaCl in water in people with Healthy, run by ZZ Biotech, LLC at 1 site in Austria.

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 18 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 5 Feb 2018. 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 Austria. 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 10 Apr 2014). 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?

Adverse Events That Meet Dose-limiting Toxicity Criteria Specified in Protocol. (time frame: Day 4 for single-dose cohorts). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01660230, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Feb 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
