About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Randomized Double Blind Placebo Controlled, Single-Dose, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Inhaled Aerosolized Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate in Healthy Adult Volunteers

This study is 'A Randomized Phase 1 Double Blind Placebo Controlled, Single-Dose, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Inhaled Aerosolized Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate in Healthy Adult Volunteers.' The primary objectives are as follows:

  • To assess the safety and tolerability of AHCQ administered as a single dose by oral inhalation in healthy individuals at escalating doses until either the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is identified or 1 mL of a 50 mg/mL solution is administered.
  • To determine the recommended Phase 2a dose (RP2D).

Secondary objectives:

  • To characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) of single dose AHCQ in healthy individuals.
Read the detailed description

Study Design:

This is a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 1 single-dose dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of oral inhalation of AHCQ in healthy participants.

Escalating single doses of AHCQ will be studied in healthy participants. The study drug will be administered by inhalation through the mouth, and participants will be encouraged to exhale through the nose. The study drug, AHCQ, will be administered starting at an initial dose of 20 mg (Cohort A1, 1 mL of 20 mg/mL AHCQ solution) with a proposed subsequent doses of 50 mg (Cohort A2, 1 mL of 50 mg/mL AHCQ).

Number of Participants (Planned):

Two dose levels are planned to be evaluated. Each cohort will comprise 8 participants (6 active, 2 placebo). Therefore, 16 participants will initially be planned to be enrolled in the study. Additional participants may be enrolled if one or more enrolled participants do not complete the study.

Model description
This is a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 1 single-dose dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of oral inhalation of AHCQ in healthy participants. A sentinel dose strategy will be employed and the decision to escalate to the next dose level, or deescalate or stop the study, will be based on review and analysis of all available blinded safety and tolerability data by the Safety Review Committee (SRC), which will make a recommendation to the Sponsor and the Sponsor will inform the PI of the recommendation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Aerolized Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate in people with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, run by Pulmoquine Therapeutics, 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 15 inclusion and 18 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 8 Oct 2020. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) as assessed by TGSHAAV (September 2007) or CTCAE version 5.0 (time frame: after treatment (Day 1) through to Day 30). The study lists 62 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 8 Oct 2020.
