About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple Doses,Dose-escalation,Phase 1b Study of the Safety, Tolerability,Pharmacokinetics and the Potential Immunological Reaction of Recombinant Human Thymosin Beta4 in Chinese Healthy Volunteers

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics and the potential immunological reaction of single intravenous recombinant human thymosin β4(NL005)or placebo 0.5, 2.0,5.0μg/kg in Chinese healthy volunteers.30 volunteers will be randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive either NL005 or placebo for 10 consecutive days.

Read the detailed description

This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerability pharmacokinetics and potential immune responses of multiple NL005 intravenous administration.

Three groups of 30 subjects will receive an NL005 or placebo dose of 0.5μg/kg 2.0 μg/kg and 5.0 μg/kg for 10 consecutive days at a ratio of 4:1.

While observing the safety of the subjects in each dose group, about 5mL of venous blood was collected for the ADA study in healthy subjects 14 days and 28 days after the first administration of the drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) .

    Determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by comprehensive evaluation of drug safety by adverse event observation, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory examination, electrocardiogram, etc. In this study, DLT was defined as liver, kidney, heart and mental nervous system toxicity of level 2 or above or blood system toxicity of level 3 or above and other systemic adverse events occurred within 14 days after drug administration, and the adverse events were judged to be related to the experimental drug use.If more than 3 (including 3) DLT cases are present in any dose group, the test should be terminated. The previous dose of this dose is considered the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

    Measured: Day-7、-1、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、14、28.

  2. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03.

    Measured: Day 1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10.

  10. The CL of multiple administration of rh-Tβ4.

    Approximately 5mL of venous blood was collected at allotted time for the pharmacokinetic study of rh-Tβ4 in healthy subjects for the prescribed time.The pharmacokinetic parameters included Cmax , tmax ,MRT ,AUClast ,AUC0-inf,t1/2 ,VZ , CL.

    Measured: Day 1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10.

  11. The potential immunological reaction (antibody formation) of multiple administration of rh-Tβ4.

    Approximately 5mL venous blood was collected from subjects before, 14 days after, and 28 days after administration for ADA study of rh-Tβ4 in healthy subjects.After the 28th-day follow-up period, subjects who confirm that ADA results are positive should be reexamined every 30 days (±3 days) until the results turn negative or the titer level is stable for two consecutive times.

    Measured: Day 1、14、28.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Recombinant Human Thymosin β4 in people with Healthy, run by Beijing Northland Biotech. Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 13 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 29 Sep 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 China. 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) . (time frame: Day-7、-1、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、14、28.). The study lists 11 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 29 Sep 2020.
