About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) of a FimH Antagonist, EB8018, in Healthy Volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety profile of single and multiple doses of EB8018 in healthy male subjects, to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of single and multiple doses of EB8018 in healthy male subjects and to assess preliminary effects of EB8018 on the healthy male gut microbiome.

Read the detailed description

Crohn's Disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Emerging evidence suggests that the microbiome plays an important role in triggering an abnormal mucosal immune response in patients with Crohn's Disease. Independent studies have demonstrated an imbalance of the microbiome with a significant increase of E coli with invasive properties, termed adherent-invasive E coli (AIEC). These AIEC bacteria attach to the gut wall of susceptible patients via the fimbrial adhesion protein FimH, and subsequently trigger inflammation by invading and proliferating within the gut wall. EB8018 is an oral small molecule that is designed to block FimH thereby preventing the entry of AIEC into the gut wall thereby disarming the bacteria without disrupting the gut microbiome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Treatment Related Adverse Event, including Abnormal Laboratory Events to evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of single ascending and multiple ascending doses of EB8018 compared with placebo in healthy subjects

    The variables for analysis will be the difference of EB8018 compared with placebo for incidence, severity and type of adverse events, including changes in vital signs, physical examinations, laboratory safety tests and ECGs

    Measured: Between screening and 7-10 days after the last dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The amount of EB8018 in plasma

    To characterize the amount of EB8018 in plasma over time - pharmacokinetics (PK) - after a single oral dose and multiple oral doses in healthy subjects

    Measured: Between Day 1 predose and 48 hours after the (last) dose

  2. The amount of EB8018 in urine

    To characterize the amount of EB8018 in urine over time - pharmacokinetics (PK) - after a single oral dose and multiple oral doses in healthy subjects

    Measured: Between Day 1 predose and 48 hours after the (last) dose

  3. The amount of EB8018 in stool

    To characterize the amount of EB8018 in urine over time - pharmacokinetics (PK) - after a single oral dose and multiple oral doses in healthy subjects

    Measured: Between predose and 48 hours after the (last) dose

  4. Analysis of microbiome richness

    To compare the abundance of gene richness, all phyla and certain species such as E. Coli

    Measured: Between predose and 48 hours after the (last) dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Single Ascending Doses of EB8018 and Multiple Ascending Doses of EB8018 in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Enterome at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 13 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 Kingdom. 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?

Number of Treatment Related Adverse Event, including Abnormal Laboratory Events to evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of single ascending and multiple ascending doses of EB8018 compared with placebo in healthy subjects (time frame: Between screening and 7-10 days after the last dose). 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 13 Feb 2018.
