About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Escalating Single- and Multiple-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of EYP001a in Healthy Male Subjects

The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) regulates hepatitis B virus replication through the bile acids pathway. EYP001a is a selective, synthetic FXR agonist under development for the treatment of hepatitis B.

This Phase 1 study is designed primarily to evaluate the single ascending dose (SAD) followed by a multiple ascending dose (MAD) safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of EYP001a in healthy male subjects.

Read the detailed description

This is a two-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Healthy male subjects will be randomly assigned to receive EYP001a or placebo.

In the SAD part, up to 6 cohorts will receive EYP001a single doses of 30 mg, 60 mg, 120 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg, and 800 mg. In the MAD part, 4 cohorts will receive EYP001a doses of 60, 120, 250 and 500 mg, once daily for 14 days over 15-day period. Each cohort will include 6 active \& 2 placebo subjects. Dose escalation will depend on evaluation of safety parameters.

Participation will include up to 21-day screening period followed by dosing period (1 to 15 days). A follow-up evaluation will occur at 6 ± 2 days post final dose.

Safety and tolerability will be assessed by monitoring adverse events, laboratory values, ECG parameters, and vital signs.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EYP001aDrug

    Also called EYP001

    10 mg and 100 mg capsules. Number of capsules to be ingested will depend on the dose cohort. Administered orally once daily. Single dose (SAD) or 14 days treatment (MAD).

  • PlaceboDrug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing EYP001a in people with Healthy, run by Enyo Pharma.

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 14 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 13 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 subjects reported with adverse events, serious adverse events (time frame: 7 days (SAD) or 21 days (MAD)). 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 Apr 2017.
