About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Single-center, Open-label, Dose-Rising Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Treprostinil Inhalation Powder (TrIP) in Healthy Normal Volunteers

A Dose-Rising Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Treprostinil Inhalation Powder in Healthy Normal Volunteers

Read the detailed description

Up to 48 subjects will be enrolled in 8 cohorts of 6 subjects each. The treatments are intended to establish the maximum tolerated dose in healthy normal volunteers, starting at 30 mcg. Each subject will receive one dose of Treprostinil Inhalation Powder by oral inhalation during the treatment period.

A total of 12 pharmacokinetic blood samples will be collected from each subject. Plasma pharmacokinetic samples will be analyzed for treprostinil.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events (safety and tolerability) of single ascending doses of Treprostinil Inhalation Powder

    Incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events determined by changes from screening (baseline) of findings from physical examinations, laboratory evaluations, vital signs measurements, pulmonary testing, and ECG measurements.

    Measured: At protocol-specified time points from the time of screening (day 0) to end of study (day 6)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Systemic exposure and pharmacokinetics of treprostinil administered as Treprostinil Inhalation Powder in healthy normal volunteers

    Concentration of treprostinil in blood as measured by protocol-specified pharmacokinetic parameters (eg maximum concentration, time to maximum concentration).

    Measured: At protocol-specified time points throughout day 1

  2. Dose proportionality

    Dose proportionality of increasing doses of Treprostinil Inhalation Powder in healthy normal volunteers as measured by maximum blood concentration of treprostinil.

    Measured: 10 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Treprostinil Inhalation Powder in people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, run by Mannkind Corporation 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 6 inclusion and 22 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 30 Oct 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 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 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?

Incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events (safety and tolerability) of single ascending doses of Treprostinil Inhalation Powder (time frame: At protocol-specified time points from the time of screening (day 0) to end of study (day 6)). 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 30 Oct 2018.
