Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects are required to meet the following criteria in order to be included in the study:
  • Healthy male and female subjects as determined by medical history and physical examination, from 18 to 55 years of age, inclusive
  • History of previous exposure to poison ivy, oak, or sumac without development of significant contact dermatitis. Significant contact dermatitis is defined as a skin reaction that covered more than 10% of body surface area by the subject's estimation, occurred on the face or genitals, was rated by the subject as moderate or severe, or required treatment with topical, oral, or injectable (systemic) steroids for resolution of symptoms. History of exposure will be documented using the Allergic Contact Dermatitis Questionnaire (Appendix 1).

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Single-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Single Ascending Dose Study of PDC-APB in Healthy Volunteers

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study to assess the safety and tolerability of PDC-APB by intramuscular (IM) injection compared to placebo.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study to assess the safety and tolerability of PDC-APB by intramuscular (IM) injection compared to placebo. In this First-in-Human study it is anticipated that up to 5 dose levels (2.5 mg, 10 mg, 0.125 mg, .375 mg and 1.0 mg PDC-APB) will be studied in sequential cohorts. Each cohort will enroll 8 subjects, 6 subjects randomized to active treatment and 2 randomized to placebo, in a double-blind manner. A sentinel group of 2 subjects in each cohort will be randomized to active (1 subject) or placebo (1 subject). If the dose is tolerated in the sentinel group, the remaining 6 subjects in the cohort will be treated (5 active and 1 placebo).

Safety will be assessed in each cohort before starting treatment at the next higher dose level. If the study treatment is tolerated and there are no findings that necessitate stopping the study, the next cohort will be treated at the next higher dose level, in the same manner. This process will continue until the highest intended dose (1 mL) is reached, or side effects that limit further dose escalation are observed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary outcome measure for this study will be the overall safety profile observed during the post-treatment observation period in the study population. AEs will be classified by organ class using the coding system and by severity (Grade 1-4).

    The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of PDC-APB following single doses administered intramuscularly to healthy subjects between 18 and 55 years of age.

    Measured: 24 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Exposure to PDC-APB in study subjects.

    The exploratory objective of the study is to document exposure of PDC-APB in study subjects by obtaining a small number of plasma samples following administration of PDC-APB by the IM route.

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PDC-APB in people with Contact Dermatitis, run by Hapten Sciences, 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 7 inclusion and 20 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 Feb 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 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?

Primary outcome measure for this study will be the overall safety profile observed during the post-treatment observation period in the study population. AEs will be classified by organ class using the coding system and by severity (Grade 1-4). (time frame: 24 Weeks). 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 Feb 2018.
