About this study

Official title: A Two-Part 1b/2a Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of CNP-201 in Subjects Ages 16-35 With Peanut Allergy

This study is a two-part Phase 1b/2a First-in-Human (FIH) randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of multiple ascending doses of CNP-201 in Part A, with the goal of identifying a safe and tolerable dose level to be evaluated further in a larger number of subjects in Part B.

Read the detailed description

Subjects who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria after initial screening assessments will undergo a Skin Prick Test (SPT) followed by a baseline Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC) consisting of peanut and placebo (oat) challenges, administered on two separate days to confirm an allergy to peanut. Subjects who continue to meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria after completing both days of the DBPCFC will be enrolled into the study.

To mitigate the risk of anaphylaxis ahead of administering CNP-201, all Subjects who continue to meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria following the DBPCFC will receive subcutaneous injections of omalizumab (XOLAIR). The dose of omalizumab (XOLAIR) will follow the product label specified in the protocol and will be determined by the subject's serum IgE at Screening and weight measured at the XOLAIR Dose 1 visit. Subjects will be dosed either every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks according to the product label.

Subjects who continue to meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria will be randomized on Day 1 in a 2:1 ratio (Part A) or 1:1 ratio (Part B) to receive either CNP-201 or Placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride USP) by intravenous (IV) infusion. Subjects will be administered CNP-201 or Placebo on Day 1 and on Day 8.

Subjects will remain in the clinic on Day 1 and Day 8 from the time of admission (prior to administration of CNP-201 or Placebo) through the final procedure conducted 4 hours post-dose that same day unless an infusion reaction, anaphylaxis, or other adverse event requires an extended duration of monitoring. Subjects will be discharged if safety parameters are acceptable to the investigator. Seven days after the second administration of CNP-201 or Placebo, subjects must return to the clinic for collection of safety labs, PD measurements, and assessment of AEs and medication changes.

Subjects will continue to be followed for safety, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity during the Post-Dosing period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CNP-201 in people with Peanut Allergy, run by COUR Pharmaceutical Development Company, Inc. at 9 sites 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 14 inclusion and 34 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lagging Enrollment. Opened a separate study.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Frequency of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: through Study Completion, an average of 90 Days). The study lists 4 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 18 Sep 2023.
