About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b/2a Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacodynamics of CNP-201 in Subjects Ages 16-55 With Peanut Allergy

This study is a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of multiple ascending doses (Escalation Phase) of CNP-201 with the goal of identifying a safe and tolerable dose level to be evaluated further in a larger number of subjects (Expansion Phase).

Read the detailed description

The Escalation Phase will consist of multiple cohorts (4 subjects per cohort) to identify a safe and tolerable dose(s). The Expansion Phase will consist of up to 40 additional subjects who will receive either a Placebo or CNP-201 at a safe and tolerable dose as determined from the Escalation Phase. One or more dose levels may be explored in the Expansion Phase.

Subjects who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria at screening will be enrolled into the study.

In the Escalation Phase, each cohort of four (4) subjects will receive CNP-201 by intravenous (IV) infusion on Days #1 and #8. Subjects in the Expansion Phase will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a safe and tolerable dose level of CNP-201 identified in the Escalation Phase or Placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride for injection).

Subjects will remain in the clinic on Days #1 and #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 (7) 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, and tolerability during a 52-day Post-Dosing period.

On Day 60, subjects will return to the clinic for collection of immune safety labs, PD measurements and to undergo Day 1 a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC) consisting of peanut and placebo (oat) challenges. On Day 61, subjects will return to the clinic to undergo Day 2 of the DBPCFC and final assessment of AEs and medication changes.

The total duration of the study for an individual subject is approximately 67 days: 7 days for Screening; 8 days for CNP-201 or Placebo dosing; and 52 days post-dosing evaluation.

  3. Difference in percentage of subjects who pass a DBPCFC

    Difference in percentage of subjects who pass a DBPCFC (do not reach an eliciting dose at or before the 2000 mg dose level, 4043 mg cumulative) between placebo and CNP-201 at Day 60 and at Day 180

    Measured: At Day 60

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 17 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 12 inclusion and 31 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 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 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 and Administrative Reasons). 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 67 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 20 Dec 2023.
