About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Double-Blind, Single Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of TRL345 in Healthy Volunteers

This study in healthy volunteers will provide a basis for evaluation of TRL345 as a first in human study, specifically, important safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic data, and provide serum samples for ex vivo studies of concentration-dependent antiviral activity to support the dose selection for as well as design and conduct of a clinical study in transplant patients.

Read the detailed description

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common medically significant infection in transplant patients. HCMV is usually a serious and even fatal infection in newborn SCID infants requiring hematopoietic stem cell transplant. HCMV is also the leading cause of congenital viral infection, with an incidence in the United States of 1-3% of live births. Primary HCMV infection during early pregnancy poses a 30-40% risk of intrauterine transmission. Approximately 10-15% of congenitally infected infants are symptomatic, presenting with intrauterine growth restriction and permanent birth defects, including neurological deficiencies, retinopathy, and sensori-neuronal deafness; of the infected but asymptomatic infants, 15-20% will later develop permanent sequelae. Trellis Bioscience is developing TRL345, a fully human monoclonal antibody that has specificity to the AD-2 site I in gB of HCMV, both for transplant patients and for the prevention of maternal HCMV infection during pregnancy.

Antibody therapy provides an alternative to antiviral drugs with an expectation of qualitatively lower toxicity. The leading small molecule antiviral effective against HCMV, ganciclovir (and its oral prodrug formulation valganciclovir), has side effects (including neutropenia, nephrotoxicity, and potential mutagenicity) that make its use problematic for major indications, including congenital transmission or the early post-transplant period for HCT. Although the recently approved small molecule antiviral letermovir has reduced neutropenic activity and is therefore useful in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), it has not eliminated CMV reactivation in adult HCT patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TRL345, a human monoclonal antibody in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Trellis Bioscience LLC 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2026. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 May 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Incidence of Abnormal Physical Exam Findings (time frame: 11 weeks). The study lists 12 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 NCT05408091, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 25 Jun 2026.
