About this study

Official title: A Three Week Dose Escalation, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of 100 mg or 200 mg of Inhaled Alpha-1 HC, Once a Day in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis.

This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study to assess the safety and tolerability of 100 mg and 200 mg of inhaled Alpha-1 HC administered once a day for three weeks in subjects aged 18 years and older with cystic fibrosis (CF). The treatment duration in this study was intended to provide multi-dose safety information prior to proceeding to longer durations of exposure.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Alpha-1 HC 100 mgBiological

    Also called Alpha1-proteinase inhibitor, alpha1-antitrypsin

    Alpha-1 HC is a sterile, liquid preparation of purified alpha1-proteinase inhibitor prepared from pooled human plasma. Alpha-1 HC 100 mg inhaled once daily for 21 days for a total of 21 inhaled treatments.

  • PlaceboBiological

    Phosphate Buffer Saline with Polysorbate (placebo) composed of the same elements listed for Alpha-1 HC, minus the 50 mg/mL of Alpha-1 HC. Placebo inhaled once daily for 21 days for a total of 21 inhaled treatments.

  • Alpha-1 HC 200 mgBiological

    Also called Alpha1-proteinase inhibitor, alpha1-antitrypsin

    Alpha-1 HC is a sterile, liquid preparation of purified alpha1-proteinase inhibitor prepared from pooled human plasma. Alpha-1 HC 200 mg inhaled once daily for 21 days for a total of 21 inhaled treatments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Alpha-1 HC 100 mg and Alpha-1 HC 200 mg in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Grifols Therapeutics LLC at 6 sites in United States.

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 4 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 8 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Feb 2016). 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 (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 8 Feb 2016.
