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

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.
