About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose Escalation Phase I Study Assessing the Safety and Immune Response of PPV-06 Vaccine in Patient With Inflammatory Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA)

PPV-06 immunotherapy targets interleukin-6 (IL-6), a key molecule of the immune system whose overproduction is implicated in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The benefit of vaccination with PPV-06 is to induce, in response to immunizations, the production of antibodies directed against IL-6. The antibodies produced will neutralize the biological activity of IL-6 involved in the body's inflammatory process.

The primary objective is to evaluate the safety/tolerability of vaccination with PPV-06.

Being tested
PPV-06 10 μg, PPV-06 50 μg, Placebo
Medical subject headings
Osteoarthritis, Knee

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients with DLT defined as grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events (monitored in all patients during the study treatment until the End of Study (Week 42) or early termination).

    The primary outcome measure of this study is to evaluate the safety/tolerability of PPV-06 vaccination

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 42 (End of Study)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. The occurrence of all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), including clinically significant abnormal haematological and biochemical values (monitored during the entire study period until End of Study (Week 42) or early termination).

    This secondary outcome measure of this study is to evaluate additional indicators of safety / tolerability

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 42 (End of Study)

  2. The quantification of inflammatory markers will be assessed at Baseline, W4, W12, W16, W24, W32 and End of Study (Week 42) or early termination by measuring IL-6, hsCRP and CRPM level in blood

    This secondary outcome measure of this study is to evaluate additional indicators of safety / tolerability

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 42 (End of Study)

  3. The quantification of Anti-IL-6 antibody production, isotypes characterization and anti-CRM197 antibody level in serum at Baseline, W4, W12, W16, W24, W32 and EoS or early termination

    This secondary outcome measure of this study is to evaluate the humoral immune response of PPV-06

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 42 (End of Study)

  4. The quantification of Anti-IL-6 neutralizing antibody level in vitro at W4, W12, W16, W24, W32 and EoS or early termination

    This secondary outcome measure of this study is to evaluate the humoral immune response of PPV-06

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 42 (End of Study)

  5. The quantification of specific T cell response and polarization (Th1, Th2 and Th17) assessed by IFNg, IL-5 and IL-17 Elispot assay at Baseline, W24, W32 or early termination.

    This secondary outcome measure of this study is to evaluate the cellular immune response of PPV-06

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 42 (End of Study)

  6. The quantification of proliferative CD4+T cells assessed by flow cytometry at Baseline, W24, W32 or early termination.

    This secondary outcome measure of this study is to evaluate the cellular immune response of PPV-06

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 42 (End of Study)

  7. The frequency of hIL-6 epitope-specific memory B cells assessed by ELISPOT assay, at Baseline, W24, W32 or early termination.

    This secondary outcome measure of this study is to evaluate the cellular immune response of PPV-06

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 42 (End of Study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PPV-06 10 μg and PPV-06 50 μg in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Peptinov SAS at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 21 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 31 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 France. 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?

The proportion of patients with DLT defined as grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events (monitored in all patients during the study treatment until the End of Study (Week 42) or early termination). (time frame: From Baseline to Week 42 (End of Study)). 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 31 May 2024.
