Trial summary

Despite currently available antivirals, influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality, with 226,000 excess hospitalizations and 30,000-50,000 deaths each year in the United States alone, and more therapies are needed in the armamentarium of anti-influenza medications including humoral immunity-based agents.

About this study

Despite currently available antivirals, influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality, with 226,000 excess hospitalizations and 30,000-50,000 deaths each year in the United States alone, and more therapies are needed in the armamentarium of anti-influenza medications including humoral immunity-based agents.

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of an anti-influenza hyperimmune intravenous immunoglobulin. Beginning with a low dose, subjects will receive anti-influenza intravenous immunoglobulin (FLU-IVIG) and evaluated on Study Days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. The safety and tolerability is evaluated using symptoms, clinical laboratory tests, and pharmacokinetics. Utilizing serum antibody responses as determined by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assays, the dose will be escalated as immunogenicity is established....

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Anti-influenza IVIG in people with Influenza and Flu, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

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 4 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

HAI titer levels predose, at 1 hr post-infusion, and on Days 3, 7, 14 and 28 (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02037282, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 17 Dec 2019.
