About this study

Official title: A Double-Blinded, Randomized, and Placebo-Controlled Phase 1 Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics Profile of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of Inhaled HH-120 Aerosol in Healthy Volunteers

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled, dose escalation study of HH-120 in healthy adult volunteers. HH-120 is a novel inhalable biologic being developed for COVID-19 treatment. The study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of HH-120 administered by aerosol inhalation after single and multiple ascending doses.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 48 participants will be sequentially enrolled into either 1 of 3 SAD cohorts (n=8 per cohort), or 1 of 3 MAD cohorts (n= 8 per cohort). An adaptive dose escalation schedule will be employed for both SAD and MAD parts of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    An Adverse Event (AE) is any event, side-effect or any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE that started on or after the first study treatment or that worsened after the first study treatment will be regarded as TEAEs.

    Measured: Day 1- Day 15 (SAD) or Day 22 (MAD)

  2. Severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    An Adverse Event (AE) is any event, side-effect or any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE that started on or after the first study treatment or that worsened after the first study treatment will be regarded as TEAEs.

    Measured: Day 1- Day 15 (SAD) or Day 22 (MAD)

  3. Duration of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    An Adverse Event (AE) is any event, side-effect or any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE that started on or after the first study treatment or that worsened after the first study treatment will be regarded as TEAEs.

    Measured: Day 1- Day 15 (SAD) or Day 22 (MAD)

  4. Number of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HH-120 Dose 1, HH-120 Dose 2 and HH-120 Dose 3 in people with COVID-19 Respiratory Infection, run by Huahui Health at 1 site in Australia.

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 8 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 26 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 1 site in Australia. 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 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (time frame: Day 1- Day 15 (SAD) or Day 22 (MAD)). 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 26 Sep 2023.
