About this study

This is a Phase 1, open-label, three-period sequential dosing study being conducted to determine the pharmacokinetics of Triferic iron administered intravenously (IV) to healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, open-label, three-period sequential dosing study being conducted primarily to determine the pharmacokinetics of Triferic iron administered intravenously to healthy adults.. Participation will be up to 5 weeks total duration including Screening, Baseline, Treatment Period, and Follow-up. Following Screening, subjects will be admitted to the clinic on Day -1, prior to Baseline (Day 1). During the Treatment Period, subjects will receive two doses of Triferic. Each subject will receive a single 6-mg dose of Triferic administered IV over 3 hours (hr) on one day (Day 2), and a single 35-µg/kg dose of Triferic administered IV push the following day (Day 3). On Day 4, subjects will be discharged from the clinic and will return approximately one week later for their final Follow-up visit.

What participants receive

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

  • TrifericDrug

    Also called ferric pyrophosphate citrate, FPC

    Triferic is supplied as sterile 5 mL ampules containing 5.44 mg/mL of iron in water for injection. Each 5 mL ampule contains 27.2 mg of Triferic iron.

Study groups in NCT02636049
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Treatment Period: 6 mg Triferic IV over 3 hoursExperimentalEach subject will receive a single 6 mg dose of Triferic administered as a continuous intravenous infusion over 3 hours on Day 2. The Triferic IV dosing solution will have been prepared by diluting Triferic from ampules (5.44 mg/mL) in an appropriate amount of D5W to a concentration of 0.020 mg/mL. Administration of 300 mL IV at 100 mL/hr for 3 hours results in delivery of 6 mg of Triferic iron.
Receives: Drug: Triferic
Treatment Period: 35 micrograms/kg IV pushExperimentalEach subject will receive Triferic as 35 µg/kg body weight IV push over 30-60 seconds on Day 3. The Triferic IV push dosing solution will have been prepared by diluting Triferic from ampules (5.44 mg/mL) in an appropriate amount of D5W to a concentration of 35 µg Triferic iron/kg body weight per subject in 4.5 mL.
Receives: Drug: Triferic

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics of Triferic Iron Administered IV to Healthy Adults: Maximum Drug Concentration (Cmax) of Total Serum Iron

    Blood samples will be drawn at time = 0, 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 12, and 16 hours after the start of Triferic administration on study Day 2 (IV infusion of 6 mg Triferic over 3 hours) and Day 3 (35 microgram/kg IV dose of Triferic given over 30 - 60 seconds) in order to determine the Peak Serum Concentration, corrected (Cmax) of total serum iron.

    Measured: 16 hours

  2. Pharmacokinetics of Triferic Iron Administered IV to Healthy Adults: Area Under the Serum Iron Concentration Time Curve From Time Zero to the Time of Last Quantified Concentration (AUC(Last)) of Total Serum Iron

    Blood samples will be drawn at time = 0, 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 12, and 16 hours after the start of Triferic administration on study Day 2 (IV infusion of 6 mg Triferic over 3 hours) and study day 3 (35 microgram/kg IV Triferic dose administered in 30 - 60 seconds) in order to determine the AUC(last) of total serum iron.

    Measured: 16 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    The number of patients that experienced treatment emergent adverse events will be quantified.

    Measured: 10 - 14 days

  2. Incidence of Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events

    The number of patients that experienced treatment emergent serious adverse events (TESEAs) will be quantified.

    Measured: 10 - 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Triferic in people with End Stage Renal Disease, run by Rockwell Medical Technologies, Inc. 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 0 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 20 Aug 2019. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Pharmacokinetics of Triferic Iron Administered IV to Healthy Adults: Maximum Drug Concentration (Cmax) of Total Serum Iron (time frame: 16 hours). The study lists 2 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 20 Aug 2019.
