About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Randomized Blinded Placebo Controlled Comparison of the Safety Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of a Single Dose of SYN023 Administered With Licensed Rabies Vaccines in Healthy Adult Subjects

This is single site, randomized, blinded comparison of the immunogenicity, of Imovax (RVi) and Rabavert (RVa) rabies vaccines when subjects are administered rabies immune globulin (RIG) or SYN023. Subjects will be randomized into one of four dose groups: RVi + SYN023, RVi+RIG, RVa+SYN023 and RVa+RIG. The initial dose of RVi and RVa will be co-administered with either RIG or SYN023). Rabies virus neutralizing activity (RVNA) and blood levels of SYN023 will be measured for the remainder of the trial while the rest of the five RVi and RVa doses are given. The study will last 112 days. SYN023 concentrations and anti-SYN023 antibodies will also be measured.

Read the detailed description

Administered immunoglobulins directed against vaccine antigens have the potential to inhibit the immune response to a vaccine. Both vaccination and immune globulin are used together in the post exposure prophylaxis of rabies virus infection. SYN023 (a mixture of two monoclonal antibodies CTB011 and CTB012) may be used instead of human rabies immune globulin. Since there is a risk of antagonism of vaccine induced immunity by SYN023, as there is with rabies immune globulin, it is necessary to study possible interactions of these two agents that might be used concurrently. This is single site, randomized, blinded comparison of the immunogenicity, of Imovax (RVi) and Rabavert (RVa) rabies vaccines when administered concurrently with rabies immune globulin (RIG) or SYN023. Subjects will be randomized into one of four dose groups: RVi + SYN023, RVi + RIG, RVa+SYN023 and RVa + RIG. The initial dose of RVi and RVa will be co-administered with either RIG or SYN023). The remaining 4 doses of RVi and RVa will be administered intramuscularly as specified in the product labeling. Serum rabies virus neutralizing activity (RVNA) and serum concentrations of the components of of SYN023 will be measured for the remainder of the trial while the rest of the five RVi and RVa doses are given. Adverse events will be collected for the duration of the trial. The study will last 112 days. Anti-SYN023 antibodies will also be measured.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Serum Rabies Virus Neutralizing Activity

    Inhibitory activity of serum in standard rabies virus inhibition test (RFFIT: Rapid Fluorescent Foci Inhibition Test) assessed as serum RVNA ≥ 0.5 IU/mL. RFFIT is a serum neutralization (inhibition) test, which means it measures the ability of rabies specific antibodies to neutralize rabies virus and prevent the virus from infecting cells. These antibodies are called rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (RVNA).

    Measured: 112 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Event Incidence of SYN023 Compared to HRIG in RabAvert and Imovax Reciptients

    Electrocardiograms are performed to monitor subject safety. Laboratory evaluations for subject safety (adverse events) are serum chemistry evaluations, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, bilirubin, alanine amino transferase, aspartate amino transferase, creatine phosphokinase, troponin, potassium, sodium, bicarbonate, calcium, complete blood count, platelet count, differential count, PT(prothrombin time, international normalized ratio) and PTT (partial prothrombin time and urinalyses for monitoring of safety. Additional laboratory tests may be required for evaluation of specific adverse events such as anaphylaxis and immune complex diseases. Adverse events and serious adverse events will be analyzed. A comparison of adverse event incidence between the four treatment groups will be performed.

    Measured: 42 days

  2. Percentage of Participants With Immunogenicity: Anti-CTB012 Antibodies Positive

    Measurement of the development of anti-CTB012 antibodies (a component of anti-SYN023 antibodies) in participants which will be analyzed on a continuous scale as a categorical variable by treatment assignment, with descriptive statistics.

    Measured: 112 days

  3. Percentage of Participants With Immunogenicity: Anti-CTB011 Antibodies Positive

    Measurement of the development of anti-CTB011 antibodies (a component of anti-SYN023 antibodies) in participants which will be analyzed on a continuous scale as a categorical variable by treatment assignment, with descriptive statistics.

    Measured: 112 days

  4. SYN023 Monoclonal Antibody Areas Under the Curve (AUC0-last, AUC0-inf) for CTB011 and CTB012)

    The area under the time concentration curve for SYN023 mAb components CTB011 and CTB012 will be estimated at Day 0 ( pre-dose), Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42, and Day 84 post-dose, using non compartmental analysis.

    Measured: 84 days

  5. Time to Maximum Concentration Tmax of CTB011 and CTB012

    Interval from time 0 to maximum measured concentration of CTB011 and CTB012 (SYN023 components) at Day 0 ( pre-dose), Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42, and Day 84 post-dose, using non compartmental analysis.

    Measured: 84 days

  6. Maximum Serum Concentration Cmax

    Maximum concentration of of CTB011 and CTB012 at Day 0 ( pre-dose), Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42, and Day 84 post-dose, using non compartmental analysis.

    Measured: 84 days

  7. Serum Clearance Rate (Clp) of CTB011 and CTB012

    Calculated serum clearance rates for CTB011 and CTB012 at Day 0 ( pre-dose), Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42, and Day 84 post-dose, using non compartmental analysis.

    Measured: 84 days

  8. Serum Half Lives of CTB011 and CTB012

    The time in hours to reduce the serum concnetration of CTB011 and CTB012 to 50% of the maximum serum concentration at Day 0 ( pre-dose), Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42, and Day 84 post-dose, using non compartmental analysis.

    Measured: 84 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing SYN023, Imovax and RabAvert in people with Human Rabies, run by Synermore Biologics Co., Ltd. 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 18 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 27 Feb 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 27 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?

Percentage of Participants With Serum Rabies Virus Neutralizing Activity (time frame: 112 days). 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 NCT02956746, 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 27 Feb 2019.
