About this study

Official title: A Study in Two Parts: (Phase 1) A Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo--controlled, Single-ascending-dose Study in Healthy Adult Subjects and (Phase 1b) an Open-label, Nested, Divided-dose Study in Adults With Cystic Fibrosis to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of ARCT-032

Determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single doses of ARCT-032 in healthy adult subjects (Phase 1) and of two doses in Adults with Cystic Fibrosis (Phase 1b).

Read the detailed description

Phase 1 of this study is a single ascending dose, first-in-human study to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ARCT-032. After screening, healthy adult participants will be randomized 3:1 to inhale a single dose of nebulized ARCT-032 or placebo. There are 4 planned sequential dose cohorts. After dosing, participants will have follow-up assessments over a 4-week period.

Phase 1b in adults with cystic fibrosis will enroll after Phase 1 is completed and safety data are reviewed. Phase 1b is an open-label, two-dose study in adults with cystic fibrosis to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ARCT-032. After completion of screening, each participants will inhale two doses of nebulized ARCT-032 two days apart. Participants will have follow-up assessments over a 4-week period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence, severity and dose-relationship of AEs

    Safety and tolerability of ARCT-032 assessed by determining the incidence, severity and dose-relationship of AEs by dose

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change in plasma area under the curve after single dose of ARCT-032

    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to the last quantifiable time point

    Measured: Up to 2 Weeks

  2. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) after single dose of ARCT-032

    The maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Up to 2 Weeks

  3. Time at which Cmax occurred after single dose of ARCT-032

    The time at which Cmax occurred (Tmax)

    Measured: Up to 2 Weeks

  4. AUC0-inf after single dose (Phase 1) or two doses (Phase 1b) of ARCT-032

    AUC from time zero extrapolated to infinity

    Measured: Up to 2 Weeks

  5. T1/2 after single dose (Phase 1) or two doses (Phase 1b) of ARCT-032

    Terminal half-life

    Measured: Up to 2 Weeks

  6. CL after single dose (Phase 1) or two doses (Phase 1b) of ARCT-032

    Total body clearance, calculated as dose divided by AUC0-inf

    Measured: Up to 2 Weeks

  7. Vss after single dose (Phase 1) or two doses (Phase 1b) of ARCT-032

    Volume of distribution

    Measured: Up to 2 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ARCT-032 in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Arcturus Therapeutics, Inc. at 1 site in New Zealand.

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 7 inclusion and 10 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 13 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 New Zealand. 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 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?

Incidence, severity and dose-relationship of AEs (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 13 Nov 2024.
