About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 1 Single and Multiple-Dose Pharmacokinetic First-in-Human Study of AV-001 in Healthy Subjects

Phase 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) first-in-human study in healthy subjects. Safety and tolerability assessments will be conducted, and blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at several time points post-dose for pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) analysis.

Read the detailed description

In the SAD segment of the study, up to 4 ascending cohorts of 8 healthy subjects each will receive a single dose of study drug (AV-001 or placebo) in a sequential ascending manner. Planned doses may be adapted depending on emergent safety, tolerability and available PK data. Screening evaluations will occur from Day -28 to Day -2. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit on Day -2. On Day 1, subjects will be randomized to AV-001 (6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects) and receive a single dose of study drug. Subjects will be discharged on Day 2 after all post dose assessments have been completed and if there are no medical reasons for a longer stay in the clinical unit. An end of study visit will be conducted 7 to 10 days after Day 1 or at early termination.

An initial sentinel group consisting of 1 subject receiving AV-001 and 1 subject receiving placebo will proceed for each cohort prior to treatment of the remainder of the cohort. After study drug administration to the sentinel group and an appropriate safety interval (at least 24 hours and per the discretion of the Principal Investigator (PI)), the remaining 5 subjects will receive a single dose of AV-001 and 1 subject will receive placebo administered in the same manner.

PK blood samples will be collected at 15 time points relative to study drug dosing on Day 1. PD blood samples for will be collected at 6 time points on Day 1.

In the MAD segment of the study, up to 2 ascending cohorts of 8 subjects each will receive once daily doses of study drug (AV-001 or placebo) for at least 7 days in a sequential ascending manner. Planned doses may be adapted and will be determined by the safety, tolerability and PK data from the SAD part of the study. Screening evaluations will occur from Day -28 to Day -2. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit on Day -2. On Day 1, subjects will be randomized to AV-001 (6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects). Subjects will receive once-daily doses of study drug from Day 1 through Day 7. Subjects will be discharged on Day 8 after all post dose assessments have been completed and if there are no medical reasons for a longer stay in the clinical unit. An end of study visit will be conducted 7 to 10 days after Day 7 or at early termination.

PK blood samples will be collected at 15 time points relative to study drug dosing on Day 1 and Day 7 in addition to predose levels on Days 2 to 6. PD blood samples for will be collected at 6 time points on Day 1 and Day 7.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AV-001 in people with Covid19-associated ARDS and Covid19, run by Vasomune 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 13 inclusion and 21 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 24 Mar 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 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?

Participants experiencing drug-related adverse events (time frame: 8 days following a single intravenous dose (SAD) or 8 days following 7 consecutive daily intravenous doses (MAD)). 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 24 Mar 2021.
