About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose-escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of HB0017 Following a Single Dose in Adult Healthy Volunteers

placebo by subcutaneous (SC) administration. Forty subjects (10 subjects per cohort for SC administration) will be randomized and assigned to up to 4 sequential doses cohorts of HB0017 (50 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg and 450 mg) or matching placebo. Each cohort of ten volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive either a single dose of HB0017 or matching placebo at a ratio of 4:1. Starting with the lowest dose, each of the subsequent doses will be administered only if the preceding dose was determined to be safe and well tolerated. The decision to escalate the next dose will be made jointly by the sponsor s medical expert and the investigator based upon review of 15-day blinded safety data prior to dosing each cohort.

Being tested
HB0017, placebo

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HB0017Drug

    Also called recombinant humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody

    HB0017 at 100 mg/mL (1 mL/vial) in 2 mL glass vial with a rubber stopper. HB0017 will be administered in the abdominal area by a subcutaneous injection in the mornings. A maximum volume of 1 mL is injected per site.

  • placeboDrug

    Also called 0.9%, Sodium Chloride Injection USP

    A matching injection solution containing a specific volume of normal saline (0.9%, Sodium Chloride Injection USP) and no active substance will be prepared for the subjects who will be assigned to placebo according to the dose schedule.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HB0017 in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Huabo Biopharm Co., Ltd. at 1 site in New Zealand.

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 14 inclusion and 26 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 28 Jul 2021. 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 New Zealand. 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?

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: 113Days.). 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 NCT04505033, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Jul 2021.
