About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Center Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Intramuscular Administration of a New Oxime, MMB4 DMS Enhanced Formulation (EF)

This clinical study will evaluate escalating dosages of MMB4 DMS to determine its safety when delivered intramuscularly (i.m.) to the anterior thigh.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this study is to assess safety, tolerability, and PK of MMB4 DMS EF at up to six cohorts chosen to provide the range required for PK analyses, including assessment of dose proportionality.

Being tested
MMB4 DMS, Placebo

What participants receive

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

  • MMB4 DMSDrug

    Also called 1,1'-methylenebis[4-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]-pyridinium] dimethanesulfonate

    Subjects will be administered the drug product formulation at the assigned dosage of MMB4 DMS or placebo i.m. to the anterior thigh using a 5 mL syringe.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called Benzyl alcohol USP/NF and methanesulfonic acid adjusted to a pH 2.3

    Subjects will be administered the drug product formulation at the assigned dosage of placebo i.m. to the anterior thigh using a 5 mL syringe. The placebo group in each cohort will receive the same injection volume and number of injections as the dose group in that cohort.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MMB4 DMS in people with Safety and Efficacy, run by U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command at 1 site 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 12 inclusion and 23 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 23 May 2024. 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 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 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 (AE) (time frame: 30 days post-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 23 May 2024.
