About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Escalating Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of HLX71 in Healthy Adult Subjects

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Escalating Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of HLX71 in Healthy Adult Subjects

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double-blind, single-dose by intravenous administration, placebo-controlled, dose escalation, first-in-human study is proposed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of HLX71 in healthy subjects. Investigators plan to enroll 10 subjects in each of the 4 dose cohorts at 2.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/ kg, 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg, of which 2 receive intravenous injections of placebo and 8 receive intravenous injections of the investigational product (IP). A total of 40 subjects will be enrolled.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HLX71 in people with COVID 19, run by Hengenix Biotech 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 5 inclusion and 19 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 1 Apr 2022. 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.

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 adverse events, serious adverse event and infusion-related reactions as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 (time frame: up to 28 days). The study lists 2 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 1 Apr 2022.
