About this study

Official title: A Phase I Open-label, First-in-Man Acute Safety, Tolerability and Device Acceptability Study of Experimental Device RD19 for Protection From Human Respiratory Tract Pathogens

This first-in-man (FIM) phase I study will evaluate the acute safety, tolerability, and acceptability of the investigational RD19 device among 25 healthy volunteers between the age of 18 and 45.

Read the detailed description

This first-in-man (FIM) phase I study will evaluate the acute safety, tolerability,and acceptability of the investigational RD19 device among 25 healthy volunteers between the age of 18 and 45. Based on the results of numerous preclinical studies, a short 3 minute use twice a day, separated by at least 4 hours, preferably 8 to 12 hours apart) will be evaluated.

Safety and tolerability (local reactogenicity) will be assessed actively at the following study days: screening (baseline set), 1, 7 and 14, and on non-clinic visit days by collection of these data by history during clinic visits via a memory aid (diary cards). Volunteers will be encouraged to promptly contact designated clinical trial staff or the one of the Sponsor's Emergency Response Team for AEs of a medically urgent nature.

A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, as well as CBC with differential, urinalysis, and pregnancy testing will be performed at screening and at Day 14 or early termination (and potentially during unscheduled) clinic visits. Hematological safety assessments (evaluation of methemoglobinemia) will be performed at all visits.

Study volunteers will be asked to immediately contact the clinical coordinator and/or the PI in all instances where they experience an AE of greater than moderate intensity. Volunteers will be instructed to report to the clinical trial unit for an unscheduled visit or to seek the appropriate level of medical care based on the nature of their AE/SAE. In all such instances, all relevant information pertaining to these significant medical events will be captured on the appropriate e-CRFs.

Hematology safety laboratory evaluations will be performed at screening, as well during all scheduled clinic visits. Laboratory assessments may be part of the evaluation of medically attended AE evaluation and for all SAEs.

Upon ratification of the CTA, the site began pre-recruitment outreach efforts of potential volunteers within M3-WRA's database to ascertain "interest in general" in this study. Official recruitment which may include fliers, letters, telephone calls, etc. and specific recruitment of potential subjects who have previously participated in other clinical studies conducted at the site commenced only after formal IRB approval. Other forms and/or mechanisms of recruitment may also be used. The IRB will approved the recruitment process and all materials prior to use.

What is being measured

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

  1. RD19 Acceptability

    • Ease of device use (Likert Scale 1 -10)
    • Clarity of user instructions (Likert Scale 1-10)
    • Compliance with per protocol schedule (# times missed / 28) and, if out of compliance, reason(s) for noncompliance (collected as verbal string).

    Measured: 14 consecutive days of RD19 device use per protocol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RD19 in people with Respiratory Tract Infections, run by EmitBio 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 10 inclusion and 12 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 3 Oct 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Oct 2024). 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?

RD19 Acceptability (time frame: 14 consecutive days of RD19 device use per protocol). 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 3 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
