Trial summary

ASP8731 is a potential new treatment for people with sickle cell disease. Before ASP8731 is available as a treatment, the researchers need to understand how it is processed by and acts upon the body. They do this to find a suitable dose and to check for potential medical problems from the treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Combined Single and Multiple Ascending Oral Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of ASP8731 in Healthy Adult Participants, Including an Assessment of a Food Effect

ASP8731 is a potential new treatment for people with sickle cell disease. Before ASP8731 is available as a treatment, the researchers need to understand how it is processed by and acts upon the body. They do this to find a suitable dose and to check for potential medical problems from the treatment. This type of study usually includes healthy adults but can include people with the relevant condition.

The main aim of this study is to learn if healthy adults have any medical problems after taking different doses of ASP8731.

This study will be in 2 parts.

In Part 1, different small groups of people will take lower to higher doses of ASP8731 or a placebo. In this study a placebo looks like ASP8731 but will not have any medicine in it. This is done to find suitable doses of ASP8731 and work out how often it should be taken. Some of this information will be used in Part 2 of the study. The first group will take the lowest dose of ASP8731 or the placebo. A medical expert panel will check the results from this group and decide which ASP8731 dose the next group can take. The panel will do this for each group until all groups have taken ASP8731 or until a suitable dose of ASP8731 has been reached.

In Part 1, people will visit the study clinic 4 times. The first visit is to check if they can take part. People will be asked about their medical history, have a physical exam, and their vital signs checked (pulse rate, temperature, and blood pressure). Also, they will have an ECG to check their heart rhythm and have some blood samples taken for laboratory tests. For women this will include a pregnancy test.

At the second visit, people will stay in the study clinic for a few days. In most groups, people will be picked to take either ASP8731 or the placebo by chance alone. They will fast before taking ASP8731 or the placebo. 1 group will take ASP8731 with food. No-one in that group will take the placebo. After taking ASP8731 or the placebo (or just ASP8731 with food), people in all groups will give blood and urine samples during the next 3 days. Also, they will be checked for any medical problems during their clinic stay.

People will return to the study clinic for a 2 follow-up visits - at about 8 and 30 days after they last took ASP8731 or the placebo. At these visits people will be asked if they have any medical problems. They will have a physical exam, have their vital signs checked (pulse rate, temperature, and blood pressure), and have some blood samples taken for laboratory tests. For women, this will include another pregnancy test.

In Part 2, other different small groups of people will take lower to higher doses of ASP8731 or a placebo. How often it is taken will be worked out from Part 1.The first group will take the lowest dose of ASP8731 or the placebo each day over several days. A medical expert panel will check the results from this group and decide which ASP8731 dose the next group can take. The panel will do this for each group until all groups have taken ASP8731.

In Part 2, people will visit the study clinic 5 times. The first visit is to check if they can take part. People will be asked about their medical history, have a physical exam, and their vital signs checked. Also, they will have an ECG and have some blood samples taken for laboratory tests. For women this will include a pregnancy test.

At the second visit, people will stay in the study clinic for several days. In all groups, people will be picked to take either ASP8731 or the placebo by chance alone. After taking ASP8731 or the placebo, people in all groups will give blood samples throughout their stay. They will give urine samples during the last few days of their stay. Also, they will be checked for any medical problems during their clinic stay. After discharge, people will return to the clinic 4 days later for a third visit. At this visit, they will have some blood samples taken for laboratory tests. Also, they will have their vital signs checked and will be asked if they have any medical problems.

People will return to the study clinic for a 2 follow-up visits - at about 15 and 30 days after they last took ASP8731 or the placebo. At these visits people will be asked if they have any medical problems. They will have a physical exam and have their vital signs checked. They will also have an ECG and have some blood samples taken for laboratory tests. For women, this will include another pregnancy test.

No other visits are planned during this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Part 1: Safety and tolerability assessed by nature, frequency, and severity of Adverse Events (AEs)

    Adverse Events (AEs) will be coded using medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA). An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study IP, whether or not considered related to the study investigational product (IP). An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study IP. This includes events related to the comparator and events related to the (study) procedures.

    Measured: Up to Day 41

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ASP8731 in people with Healthy Participants, run by Astellas Pharma Global Development, 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 26 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 20 Nov 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. 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: The study was terminated due to protocol defined stopping criteria being met.). 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?

Part 1: Safety and tolerability assessed by nature, frequency, and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Up to Day 41). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05167526.

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 20 Nov 2024.
