  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • A signed informed consent form, the ability to understand the study conduct and tasks that are required for study participation, and a willingness to cooperate with all tasks, tests, and examinations as required by the protocol, whether in the hospital or after discharge, for the duration of the study;
  • Healthy adult male or female between 18 and 85 years of age (inclusive) at the time of screening;
  • Subject has a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 18.5 kg/m2 and ≤ 45 kg/m2;
  • Pulse measured at screening/baseline must be within the ranges ≥ 45 to ≤ 115 beats per minute (bpm, taken after resting in a semi-recumbent position for at least 5 minutes);
  • Have sufficient peripheral vascular access, based on the Investigator's assessment, for all blood sample collections to take place;
  • Female subject is surgically sterile, postmenopausal, or if of childbearing potential, agrees to abstinence or to use at least 2 acceptable methods of birth control (e.g., prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, barrier methods, etc.) or male partner sterilization alone, between randomization and for 7 days after the completion of the study;

  • Subjects with Renal Insufficiency:
  • Assessment of renal insufficiency for assignment to study groups will be based on measurements of estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation at the screening visit to determine eligibility;
  • Subjects with Normal Renal Function:
  • Normal volunteers first matched by age (± 10 years), BMI (± 20%), and gender to the mean values of the moderate renal insufficiency group. Once the mild, moderate, and severe renal insufficiency groups are fully enrolled, the mean values of age, BMI, and gender will be calculated for the pooled renal insufficiency groups, and additional healthy subjects may be enrolled to match the pooled means;
  • Have a creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 90 mL/min calculated using the Cockcroft Gault equation;
  • Hemodialysis Subjects:
  • Receiving stable hemodialysis (Kt/V > 1.2) at least 3 times a week for at least 3 months, using an arteriovenous fistula or graft;
  • Otherwise considered to be clinically stable with respect to underlying renal impairment, as determined by the Investigator, and based upon a medical evaluation that includes a medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and electrocardiogram (ECG);
  • Have clinical laboratory test results that are considered clinically stable in the opinion of the Investigator, especially if the clinical abnormality or laboratory parameter is deemed associated with the subject's underlying renal impairment;
  • A stable medication regimen is required, defined as not starting new drug(s) or significant changes in dosage(s) within 14 days prior to administration of study drug, or during the conduct of the study. Changes of medications in hemodialysis subjects are subject to dialysis site protocols such that erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, iron, and vitamin D can be changed based on the then current subject status and dialysis unit standard practice and subject safety prior to screening.

Who cannot join

  • Current evidence or history of malignancy, excluding basal cell carcinoma, in the 2 years prior to Day -1 (day before dosing) with no evidence of recurrence;

  • Liver function abnormalities at screening (or Day -1) (defined by an elevation in bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, or alanine aminotransferase that is 1.5 x upper limit of normal of the normal range for subjects based on age and sex);
Show all 33Show fewer

  • An employee of the Investigator or study center or sponsor, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that Investigator or study center or the Sponsor, or a family member of the employee or the Investigator.
  • Subjects with Renal Insufficiency:

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-Label, Single-Dose Trial To Determine The Safety And Pharmacokinetics Of Minocin (Minocycline) For Injection In Subjects With Renal Insufficiency

This is a Phase 1, open-label, single-dose study of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Minocin® (minocycline) for injection in subjects with renal insufficiency.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to collect safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) data on a single dose of Minocin® (minocycline) for Injection in subjects with renal insufficiency and in subjects receiving hemodialysis therapy. The safety, tolerability, and PK data will support the compound as a potential clinical candidate in Europe and will inform the development of future Phase 2/3 studies.

Minocin (minocycline) for InjectionExperimentalMinocin (minocycline) for Injection will be supplied as a sterile lyophilized powder in single-use 10-mL glass vials. Each vial contains 108 mg of minocycline hydrochloride equivalent to 100 mg of minocycline. Each cohort receives a single 200-mg dose of Minocin (minocycline) for Injection except for the hemodialysis therapy/end stage renal disease cohort, which receives two 200-mg doses.
Receives: Drug: Minocin (minocycline) for Injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Minocin (minocycline) for Injection in people with Renal Insufficiency, Acute and Renal Insufficiency, Chronic, run by Rempex (a wholly owned subsidiary of Melinta Therapeutics, Inc.) at 1 site in Germany.

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 16 inclusion and 33 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 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 Germany. 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 24 Jul 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?

Safety and Tolerability of Intravenous Dose(s) of Minocin (Minocycline) for Injection Assessed by Number of Subjects With Adverse Events (time frame: Approximately 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 4 Sep 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
