About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Escalation, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial to Investigate Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of VVZ-149 Injection in Healthy Male Volunteers

VVZ-149 is a novel analgesic drug candidate that shows a potential analgesic activity inhibiting GlyT2 and 5HT2A simultaneously. There have been many efforts to develop single-target selective drugs to treat pain, but usually unsuccessful due to the lack of efficacy or limitations of single-target approach for new drug discovery. VVZ-149 is expected to have a dual-target activity, demonstrated having a synergism between GlyT2 and 5HT2A antagonistic activities to maximize an antinociceptive effect in the in vivo animal models. Now the investigators are developing VVZ-149 as an IV injection to treat post-operative pain.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate a safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic properties of VVZ-149 injection with placebo in healthy male volunteers. This Phase 1 study consists of a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, single and multiple ascending dose (SAD \& MAD) escalation clinical trials.

Read the detailed description

In this clinical study, the investigational drug product will be offered as an injectable form in a transparent glass vial that contains VVZ-149 dissolved by water for injection. When administered, the drug will be diluted by normal saline and will be given by intravenous infusion for 4 hours.

SAD study is planned that maximal 7 cohorts of healthy male subjects are administrated single dose of VVZ-149 injection or placebo. The planned groups for dose escalations were 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 mg/kg groups. As a pilot study for safety in this first-in-human study, only 3 subjects received active drug are allocated to first two groups each, without subjects for placebo. For the following groups, 6 subjects for active drug and 2 for placebos are allocated after randomized.

MAD study is planned that 2 cohorts of 10 healthy male subjects each were administered multiple doses of VVZ-149 injection or placebo. The final doses of VVZ-149 injection will be determined later based on the results of SAD study. In each group, 7 subjects for active drug and 3 for placebos are allocated after randomized

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of Adverse Events Appearance According to the NCI CTCAE V 4.02

    According to the NCI CTCAE V 4.02, DLT (Dose Limiting Toxicity) is defined when it is applicable at least one criterion among following items

    • adverse event over CTCAE Grade 3
    • Any other significant toxicity according to the investigator's judgment

    Safety and Tolerability Measurements

    : physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, consecutive ECG and SpO2 monitoring, clinical laboratory tests(hematology, clinical chemistry, liver function, thyroid function, coagulation, urine analysis)

    Measured: upto 8 days (SAD) / 13 days (MAD)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetic parameters

    Cmax, AUClast, AUCinf, Vd, MRT, t1/2, CL, fe, CLR

    Measured: upto 2 days (SAD) / 5 days (MAD)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VVZ-149 Injection in people with Healthy, run by Vivozon, Inc. at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 13 Mar 2019. 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 South Korea. 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?

Assessment of Adverse Events Appearance According to the NCI CTCAE V 4.02 (time frame: upto 8 days (SAD) / 13 days (MAD)). 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 13 Mar 2019.
