Trial summary

The ureter is the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder. It is difficult for surgeons to see the ureter during abdominal surgery. This could lead to injuring the ureter which, although rare, could be serious. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of ASP5354 in Participants With Renal Impairment Compared to Healthy Participants With Normal Renal Function

The ureter is the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder. It is difficult for surgeons to see the ureter during abdominal surgery. This could lead to injuring the ureter which, although rare, could be serious.

ASP5354 is a potential new medical dye to help surgeons clearly see the ureter during surgery. ASP5354 is injected into the body and is detected by a type of camera called near infrared fluoroscopy, or NIR-F for short. Together they show live images of the ureter during surgery.

Before ASP5354 is available as a medical dye, the researchers need to understand how it affects the body.

In this study, the researchers will check how ASP5354 affects the body in adults up to 75 years old. The main aim is to learn how ASP5354 is processed by the body in people whose kidneys do not work well compared to healthy people. There will be 4 groups of people with different levels of how well their kidneys work.

This study will include a 3-night stay in a clinical research unit. People will be admitted to the clinic the day before they receive the ASP5354 injection. The study doctor will take their medical history. People will have an ECG to measure their heart rhythm, a medical examination, and will have their vital signs checked (pulse rate, body temperature and blood pressure). They will also give blood and urine samples for laboratory tests. For some women, this will include a pregnancy test. People will need to fast for several hours before receiving the injection.

The next day, people will receive 1 injection of ASP5354. They will continue to fast for a few hours afterwards. They will have an ECG and will have their vital signs checked. They will also give blood and urine samples for laboratory tests and the study doctors will check for medical problems.

During the next 2 days, people will give more blood and urine samples and the study doctors will check for medical problems. On the last day, people will also have their vital signs checked. If there are no medical problems on the last day, people can return home.

People will return to the clinic about 1 week later for a final check-up. They will have an ECG, a medical examination and have their vital signs checked. They will give blood and urine samples for laboratory tests. For some women, this will include a pregnancy test. The study doctors will also check for medical problems.

    Measured: Up to 3 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    AEs will be coded by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Note: 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 intervention. This includes events related to the comparator and events related to the (study) procedures.

    Measured: Up to 12 days

  2. Number of participants with laboratory value abnomalities and/or AEs

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values.

    Measured: Up to 12 days

  3. Number of participants with vital signs abnormalities and/or AEs

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values.

    Measured: Up to 12 days

  4. Number of participants with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities and/or AEs

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant ECG values.

    Measured: Up to 12 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing pudexacianinium chloride in people with Healthy Volunteers and Renal Impairment, run by Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc. at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 19 inclusion and 45 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 4 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Japan. 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?

Pharmacokinetics (PK) of ASP5354 in plasma: area under the concentration-time curve from time of dosing extrapolated to time infinity (AUCinf) (time frame: Up to 3 days). The study lists 9 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 NCT05495581, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Dec 2024.
