About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Double-Blind, Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of NTM-1632 vs Placebo Administered Intravenously in Healthy Adults

This is a Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled dose escalation trial to evaluate NTM-1632 in three dose cohorts (A: 0.033 mg/kg, B: 0.165 mg/kg, and C: 0.33 mg/kg). NTM-1632 is a mixture of three monoclonal antibodies designed to treat botulinum neurotoxin BoNT/B poisoning in adults. Dose cohorts A, B, and C will be randomized 2:6, placebo:therapeutic, with a total study population of 24. The study duration is projected to be approximately 8 months, with subject participation in cohort A being approximately 13 weeks, and subject participation in cohort B and C being approximately 17 weeks. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of NTM-1632 administered intravenously in healthy adults.

The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of NTM-1632 administered intravenously in healthy adults. The secondary objectives are to 1) assess the pharmacokinetic characteristics of NTM-1632 following a single intravenous administration and 2) assess the immunogenicity of NTM-1632 following a single intravenous administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NTM-1632 in people with Botulism, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 29 Oct 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. 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?

The occurrence of Adverse Events from administration of NTM-1632 (time frame: Day 1 to 57). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02779140, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Oct 2018.
