  • Subject has been involved in testing an investigational drug in another clinical study within the last 4 weeks.

About this study

Official title: Development of a Target Engagement Biomarker for Future PAC1 Antagonists With the Use of Intradermal Injected Maxadilan Induced Dermal Blood Flow Changes, Assessed by Laser Doppler Imaging

This will be a single center, open-label study in healthy male subjects between 18 and 45 years old to determine the dose response profiles of dermal blood flow in response to intradermal injections of maxadilan. The study will consist of 2 parts: Part I: dose and time finding and Part II: reproducibility over time.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in dermal blood flow induced by intradermal injections of maxadilan, compared to baseline and placebo for different doses, time point and in terms of reproducibility over time (i.e. inter-period reproducibility).

    Measured: Every studyvisit (Day 1, 8 and 15 for part I/Day 1 and 8 for part II)

  2. Changes in vital signs.

    as a measure of safety

    Measured: Every studyvisit (Day 1, 8 and 15 for part I/Day 1 and 8 for part II) and at 5-7 days after last studyvisit (post-study visit)

  3. Changes in ECG.

    as a measure of safety

    Measured: Every studyvisit (Day 1, 8 and 15 for part I/Day 1 and 8 for part II) and at at 5-7 days after last studyvisit (post-study visit)

  4. Change in laboratory safety tests.

    as a measure of safety

    Measured: Every studyvisit (Day 1, 8 and 15 for part I/Day 1 and 8 for part II) and at at 5-7 days after last studyvisit (post-study visit)

  5. Change in physical examination.

    as a measure of safety

    Measured: Every studyvisit (Day 1, 8 and 15 for part I/Day 1 and 8 for part II) and at at 5-7 days after last studyvisit (post-study visit)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tolerability of intradermal injections of maxadilan in healthy male subjects. Assessed using the Numerical rating scale-11 for pain.

    Assessed using the Numerical rating scale-11 for pain.

    Measured: Every study visit (Day 1, 8 and 15 for part I/Day 1 and 8 for part II) and at at 5-7 days after last studyvisit (post-study visit)

  2. Change in dermal blood flow induced by intradermal injections of maxadilan, compared to baseline and placebo in terms of reproducibility between arms (i.e. inter-arm reproducibility.

    Measured: Every studyvisit (Day 1, 8 and 15 for part I/Day 1 and 8 for part II)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Maxadilan in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 8 inclusion and 16 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 10 Jul 2015. 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 Belgium. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Change in dermal blood flow induced by intradermal injections of maxadilan, compared to baseline and placebo for different doses, time point and in terms of reproducibility over time (i.e. inter-period reproducibility). (time frame: Every studyvisit (Day 1, 8 and 15 for part I/Day 1 and 8 for part II)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Jul 2015.
