About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Two Part Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Treatment With Single and Repeat Doses of Inhaled RV568 in Healthy Volunteers

RV568 is being developed as a possible treatment of smoking related lung disease (also known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - COPD).

The main purpose of this study is to examine the safety and tolerability of a new inhaled formulation of RV568 in healthy volunteers. The study will be run in two parts; Part A and Part B. Part A (Cohorts 1, 2 \& 3) will investigate 6 different dose levels of RV568 given as a single dose and Part B (Cohorts 4 \& 5) will investigate 2 different dose levels of RV568 given once a day for 14 days.

Being tested
RV568 single dose, RV568 matching placebo single dose, RV568 repeat dose, RV568 matching placebo repeat dose
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

    Assessment of the number of adverse events reported by subjects following dosing.

    Measured: Cohort 1, 56 days; Cohorts 2 & 3, 28 days; Cohorts 4 & 5, 35 days

  2. ECG assessment

    Change from pre-dose values.

    Measured: Cohort 1, 56 days; Cohorts 2 & 3, 28 days; Cohorts 4 & 5, 35 days

  3. Vital signs assessment

    Change from pre-dose values

    Measured: Cohort 1, 56 days; Cohorts 2 & 3, 28 days; Cohorts 4 & 5, 35 days

  4. Spirometry assessment

    Change from pre-dose values

    Measured: Cohort 1, 56 days; Cohorts 2 & 3, 28 days; Cohorts 4 & 5, 35 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Plasma RV568 levels

    Measured: Cohorts 1, 2 & 3: Day 1 (0, 15, 30 & 45 min and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 h), then 7, 14 and 28 days. Cohorts 4 & 5: Day 1, 7 & 14 (0, 15, 30 & 45 min and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 h), Day 10, 11, 12 & 13 (0 & 30 min), then Day 21, 28 and 35

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RV568 single dose and RV568 repeat dose in people with COPD and Healthy Volunteers, run by Respivert Ltd 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 10 inclusion and 21 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 4 Mar 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 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. 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?

Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (time frame: Cohort 1, 56 days; Cohorts 2 & 3, 28 days; Cohorts 4 & 5, 35 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Mar 2013.
