About this study

Official title: A Placebo-Controlled, Single-Blind, Single-Center Phase 1 Study in Normal Healthy Volunteers and Open-Label Multi-Center Study in Patients With Primary Hyperoxaluria to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single Ascending Doses of DCR-PHXC Solution for Injection (Subcutaneous Use)

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation trial of DCR-PHXC in Healthy Volunteers (HVs) and patients with Primary Hyperoxaluria (PH). Once safety has been established in HV, PH patients with a confirmed diagnosis of PH1 and PH2 will be enrolled across multiple dosing cohorts. The study design will allow enrollment of PH patient cohorts at a given dose level once safety has been demonstrated in HV at that dose level. The study will be conducted in two parts: Part A: Single ascending dose (SAD) in HV; Part B: SAD in patients with PH1 and PH2 (lagging Part A by 1 dose level cohort).

What participants receive

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

  • DCR-PHXCDrug

    DCR-PHXC is a novel, potent, and long-acting small interference ribonucleic acid (siRNA) molecule conjugated to N-acteylgalactosamine (GalNAc) that is designed to decrease liver oxalate production. DCR-PHXC is delivered via subcutaneous (SC) injection.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Single SC administration of placebo, which will be a sterile, preservative-free normal saline 0.9% solution for SC injection, which is of similar osmolality to the DCR-PHXC formulation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing DCR-PHXC in people with Primary Hyperoxaluria, run by Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Novo Nordisk company at 7 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 19 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United Kingdom, United States, France, Germany, Netherlands. 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 patients with Treatment-Related Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Part A (SAD in HVs) screening through Day 29; Part B (SAD in PH patients) screening through Day 57). 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 NCT03392896, 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 19 Sep 2024.
