About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Dose, Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Inhaled Laninamivir Octanoate in Adults With Chronic Asthma

This is a single centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study, in which the safety and pharmacokinetics of laninamivir octanoate administered by inhalation via the TwinCaps® DPI will be assessed in adults with mild or moderate chronic asthma.

Read the detailed description

32 subjects, as two sequential groups of 16 subjects at each dose level (40 mg and 80 mg), will be randomised 3:1 to receive active drug or matching placebo.

Males and females aged 18 to 65 years inclusive, with mild or moderate chronic asthma.

Stratum 1: Mild asthma - requiring treatment consistent with Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) Step 2 Stratum 2: Moderate asthma - requiring treatment consistent with GINA Step 3

Following a screening period of up to 30 days, eligible consenting subjects will be admitted to the clinic on the morning of Day 1. Laninamivir octanoate will be administered on Day 1. Subjects will remain in the clinic until Day 3 and will return for subsequent outpatient visits on Day 5, Day 6 and Day 7. A final follow-up visit for safety evaluations will occur on Day 14 ± 1 (or at the time of premature discontinuation). Each subject will participate in the study for approximately 7 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses (40 mg and 80 mg) of laninamivir octanoate administered by inhalation via the TwinCaps® DPI in adults with mild or moderate chronic asthma.

    Safety and tolerability data will be presented according to the dose group and asthma Strata. All safety data will be summarized with descriptive statistics and included assessments of SAEs, AEs, Laboratory Results, Vital Signs, ECGs, Spirometry parameters, Con Meds, Physical Exam findings

    Measured: Subjects assessed at clinic visits and up to 14 days post-dose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of laninamivir octanoate and its active metabolite laninamivir following administration of 40 mg & 80 mg doses of laninamivir octanoate by inhalation via the TwinCaps® DPI in adults with mild or moderate chronic a

    Pharmacokinetic concentration data and PK parameters will be calculated and summarized.

    Measured: Samples are collected up to 144 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Laninamivir octanoate in people with Asthma, run by Biota Scientific Management Pty Ltd at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 19 inclusion and 24 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 30 May 2018. 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 Kingdom. 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?

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses (40 mg and 80 mg) of laninamivir octanoate administered by inhalation via the TwinCaps® DPI in adults with mild or moderate chronic asthma. (time frame: Subjects assessed at clinic visits and up to 14 days post-dose). 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 30 May 2018.
