About this study

This is a two part study. In the first part, the pharmacokinetic profile of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in normal human volunteers given a single oral dose will be determined to set the dose for the second part of the study. In the second part of this study, lung biopsy fragments and urine samples from patients with interstitial lung disease treated with EGCG will be evaluated in biochemical assays and compared to samples from untreated control patients.

Read the detailed description

This is an interventional study intended to test inhibition of a signaling pathway in vivo in patients with interstitial lung disease, but not intended to affect lung function or disease modifications. Doses of oral Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) that achieve plasma levels known to be safe in human volunteers and likely to target fibroblast TGFbeta RI kinase will be established. Disposable fragments of biopsies will be evaluated in biochemical assays including pSmad3 and Snail 1 or assayed to determine lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) protein and LOXL2 enzyme activity. Urine collected before and after EGCG exposure will be used to determine whether terminal collagen cross-link breakdown products, termed pyridinoline/deoxypyridinoline (PYD/DPD) are changed from baseline. Blood collected before and after EGCG exposure will be assayed for serum biomarkers.

What is being measured

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

  1. EGCG PK Level in Healthy Volunteers

    EGCG plasma levels in healthy volunteers were measured at 0, 0.5, 2, and 4 hours after a single dose at 450 mg, 600 mg, or 750 mg dosage by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 2, 4 hours after EGCG

  2. Change of Serum Biomarker COMP Before and After EGCG Treatment in ILD Patients

    Change from baseline to day 14 in serum biomarkers associated with IPF, Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) measured by ELISA.

    Measured: Day 1 to day 14

  3. Change of Serum Biomarker Periostin Before and After EGCG Treatment in ILD Patients

    Change from baseline to day 14 in serum biomarkers associated with IPF, Periostin measured by ELISA.

    Measured: Day 1 to day 14

  4. Difference of Biomarker Snail1 Between EGCG-treated and Non-treated Patient Groups

    Levels of biomarker Snail1 in lung biopsy tissues 14 days after EGCG were measured by western blot and differences were compared between EGCG-treated and non-treated groups.

    Measured: 14 days

  5. Difference of Biomarker Collagen I Between EGCG-treated and Non-treated Patient Groups

    Levels of biomarker Collagen I in lung biopsy tissues 14 days after EGCG were measured by western blot and differences were compared between EGCG-treated and non-treated groups.

    Measured: 14 days

  6. Difference of Biomarker p-Smad3 Between EGCG-treated and Non-treated Patient Groups

    Levels of biomarker p-Smad3 in lung biopsy tissues 14 days after EGCG were measured by western blot and differences were compared between EGCG-treated and non-treated groups.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Hal Chapman 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 22 Dec 2022. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 22 Dec 2022). 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?

EGCG PK Level in Healthy Volunteers (time frame: 0, 0.5, 2, 4 hours after EGCG). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03928847, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Dec 2022.
