Older and elderly subjects with chronic, stable, and well-controlled medical conditions are eligible provided they meet all other inclusion/exclusion criteria. Some examples of stable and well-controlled medical conditions include but are not limited to:
  • Hypertension (HTN) controlled with ≤2 antihypertensive drugs

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2A, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single Dose, Sequential Group Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of PB2452 With Ticagrelor Pretreatment in Older and Elderly Subjects and With High-Dose Ticagrelor Pretreatment in Healthy Younger Subjects

This is a Phase 2A, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single dose, sequential group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of PB2452 vs matching placebo with ticagrelor (with or without acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)) pretreatment when various dose levels and administration regimens are administered to healthy younger (ages 18 to 50), older (ages 50 to 64 years) and elderly (ages 65 to 80 years) male and female subjects.

Up to 5 dose levels and/or administration regimens will be evaluated in up to 5 cohorts. Each cohort will include approximately 8 to 12 subjects randomized in a 3:1 ratio (PB2452:placebo).

Read the detailed description

The study will consist of a Screening period, a Check-in day and Pretreatment Period, an on-site Randomization/Treatment day, 3 days on-site for treatment and safety monitoring, a Follow-up Visit (Day 7), and a Final Follow-up visit (Day 28). Seven days prior to Randomization, subjects in Cohorts 1 and 2 will be administered acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 81 mg orally once daily (QD) until the final dose on the morning of Day 1 before receiving study drug. A ticagrelor 180 mg oral dose will be administered on the morning of Day -2 followed by either 90 mg or 180 mg every 12 hours (BID) until the 5th dose has been administered on the morning of Day 1.

On Day 1, subjects who meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized in a ratio 3:1 (PB2452:placebo), to receive an IV dose of PB2452 or placebo 2 hours following the 5th ticagrelor dose. Subjects may be discharged from the clinical site between Days 3 and 7 inclusive and will return for a Follow-up visit on Day 7, if already discharged, and on Day 28 (±2 days).

An SAE/suspected unexpected serious adverse reaction if, in the view of either the investigator or Sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or congenital anomaly or birth defect. A summary of serious and all other non-serious adverse events, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PB2452 Infusion, Ticagrelor Oral Tablet - Pre-Treatment and Ticagrelor Oral Tablet - Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment in people with Healthy, run by SFJ Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 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 19 inclusion and 31 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 1 May 2024. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 May 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) And Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Day -3 up to Day 28). The study lists 15 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 1 May 2024.
