About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled "First-in-human" Study To Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Single Ascending Oral Doses of PBF-680 in Male Healthy Volunteers

This is a phase I, single-center, randomized, double-blind, dose escalation study without therapeutic benefit, in which PBF-680 will be administered as single oral ascending dose to young male healthy volunteers. Up to four different rising doses will be tested in groups of 8 participants. Thus, four groups will participate but each one participating only once. For each dose level / group the participants will be randomized to active or placebo with 2 participants being randomly assigned to placebo and 6 to the active drug. First, one volunteer will receive active drug (subgroup 1); after 48h of safety and tolerability assessment a second subgroup of 3 volunteers will receive 2 active drug and 1 placebo; after 48h of safety and tolerability parameters assessment a third subgroup of 4 volunteers will receive 3 active drug and 1 placebo. After evaluation of safety parameters of dose level the process will replicate one week afterwards in the following dosages.

The aims of this study are:

Primary:

  • To assess the safety and tolerability of single escalating oral doses of PBF-680 in young male healthy subjects leading to the determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Secondary:

  • To assess the pharmacokinetics of PBF-680 after single rising oral doses in healthy young male subjects.
  • To asses the preliminary pharmacodynamic effects.
  • To evaluate the adenosine A1 receptor antagonism in blood samples of healthy volunteer caused by the PBF-680 administration
Read the detailed description

In order to assess the safety and tolerability of single escalating oral doses of PBF-680, safe measurements (ECG, vital signs, blood chemistry and hematology) will be conducted before, during and follow-up study course.

  • Physical Examination. Physical examination data will be collected at screening and at the end of the study. All occurring abnormalities will be displayed by subjects. Vital Signs. Vital signs (DINAMAP V100) including measurements of blood pressure, pulse and respiratory rate and digital axillary temperature will be obtained at screening, during study and at study completion (follow up). All occurring abnormalities will be displayed by subjects.
  • Adverse Events. All information obtained on adverse events will be displayed and tallied by treatment /dose. Laboratory variables (Hematology, Biochemistry and Urinalysis): Clinical laboratory data will be collected at screening, during study and at study completion(follow up). All subjects with values outside of the normal range for any variable will be identified. All occurring abnormalities will be displayed by subjects.
  • Electrocardiographic Evaluation. An electrocardiogram will be performed at several times, at screening, during the study and at completion of the study (follow up). Description of ECG intervals will be also done. All occurring abnormalities will be identified.

Also, as secondary variables will be evaluated:

  • Pharmacokinetic profile analysis. The variable for the pharmacokinetic evaluation will be the parameter that defines the bioavailability in extend and rate Ln [AUC 0t](AUC: area under curve), Ln [Cmax] of experimental products and placebo. For this purpose the necessary kinetic parameters will be determined by means of a non compartmental method with the values obtained after the quantitative analysis of the plasma levels of PBF-680. The following pharmacokinetic parameters will be obtained from each individual plasma concentration versus time profile using standard methods, if the data warrant doing so
  • Pharmacodynamic effects. To asses the preliminary pharmacodynamic effects of PBF-680 at each dose level, subjective tests (VAS) and (LSEQ) before and after different times post-drug administration will be conducted. Effects on the CNS (Central Nervous system) will be evaluated by analyzing of the changes observed in the different time for subjective assessment scales.

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

  1. Number of Adverse Events

    Safety and Tolerability evaluation

    To assess the safety and tolerability of single escalating oral doses of PBF-680, safe measurements: ECG, vital signs, blood chemistry and hematology, will be conducted before, during and follow-up study course.

    Measured: up to 5-7 days post-dose administration

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetic profile analysis

    The main variable for the pharmacokinetic evaluation will be the parameter that defines the bioavailability in extend and rate Ln [AUC 0t], Ln [Cmax] of experimental products and placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PBF-680 in people with Asthma, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 2 sites in Spain.

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 20 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 Mar 2016. 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 Spain. 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?

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?

Number of Adverse Events (time frame: up to 5-7 days post-dose administration). 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 Mar 2016.
