About this study

Official title: A Phase I, First-in-Human Single Center Study in Healthy Adult Volunteers to Assess the Gastric Gluten-Degradation Activity of PvP001

This is a single blind, dose escalating, placebo-controlled, crossover study of gluten-degrading drug PvP001 administered to healthy volunteers (age 18-64 years). Subjects will be randomized to one of three groups representing different levels of gluten exposure - low, medium, or high - in a single meal. Within each gluten exposure group, increasing doses of PvP001 (or placebo) will be administered.

Being tested

Study groups in NCT03594331
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gluten Exposure Group 1ExperimentalThis group will ingest the drug and then consume a study meal containing a low level of gluten. In four separate visits, each subject will be administered low-dose PvP001, medium-dose PvP001, high-dose PvP001 and placebo, with blinding to the dose of PvP001 and to which visit placebo is given.
Receives: Drug: Low-dose PvP001; Drug: Medium-dose PvP001; Drug: High-dose PvP001; Drug: Placebo
Gluten Exposure Group 2ExperimentalThis group will ingest the drug and then consume a study meal containing a medium level of gluten. In four separate visits, each subject will be administered low-dose PvP001, medium-dose PvP001, high-dose PvP001 and placebo, to the dose of PvP001 and to which visit placebo is given.
Receives: Drug: Low-dose PvP001; Drug: Medium-dose PvP001; Drug: High-dose PvP001; Drug: Placebo
Gluten Exposure Group 3ExperimentalThis group will ingest the drug and then consume a study meal containing a high level of gluten. In four separate visits, each subject will be administered low-dose PvP001, medium-dose PvP001, high-dose PvP001 and placebo, with blinding to the dose of PvP001 and to which visit placebo is given.
Receives: Drug: Low-dose PvP001; Drug: Medium-dose PvP001; Drug: High-dose PvP001; Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of treatment emergent adverse events

    The number of treatment emergent adverse events at each dosage level

    Measured: 2 weeks from each exposure.

  2. Percentage of treatment emergent adverse events

    The percentage of treatment emergent adverse events at each dosage level

    Measured: 2 weeks from each exposure.

  3. Side effects of study drug

    Side effects are assessed by the PI using a 5-scale, 9-question Gastrointestinal Symptoms Questionnaire (GSQ) to be self-administered by the subject at 16 time-points throughout the five-visit (including screening) study. Each of the 9 questions will be given a numerical score (0-4 where 0 is none and 4 is very severe) and compared to baseline score and placebo scores any increase of >1 point over the average baseline and placebo score will be considered an AE and graded based on the severity reported.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Efficacy as measured by the lowest dose to degrade highest amount of gluten

    The lowest dose of PvP001 that degrades the highest amount of gluten in a standardized study meal

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Low-dose PvP001, Medium-dose PvP001 and High-dose PvP001 in people with Digestive System Disease, run by Danielle Kim Turgeon 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 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Funding stopped). Results are not available in the source record.

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 emergent adverse events (time frame: 2 weeks from each exposure.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Feb 2019.
