About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study of Subcutaneously and Intravenously Administered ALXN1920 in Healthy Adult Participants

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of single ascending doses (SADs) of ALXN1920 subcutaneous (SC) and of a single dose of ALXN1920 intravenous (IV) in healthy adult participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a first-in-human study in healthy adult participants.

Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 3:1 (ALXN1920:Placebo) ratio in each of the treatment cohorts. The first 2 participants randomized to each cohort will be dosed as a sentinel pair, with 1 participant on active treatment and 1 participant on placebo. At the discretion of the Investigator, up to 3 more participants will be added at least 48 hours after the dosing of the sentinel pair, followed by dosing of the remaining participants in the cohort no earlier than 72 hours after sentinel pair dosing.

The study will comprise:

A Screening Period of up to 28 days; A Dosing Period (single dose through to Follow-up Visit) of approximately 28 days; A Final Follow-up period and end of study Visit is planned on Day 29.

Each participant will be involved in the study for approximately 56 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ALXN1920 in people with Healthy Participants, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 2 sites 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 4 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 27 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 2 sites 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?

Number of participants with Adverse events (AEs) (time frame: Up to End of study visit (Day 29)). 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 27 Nov 2024.
