About this study

Official title: A 3-part Study of ABCI: a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single-ascending Dose Phase 1a Study in Healthy Volunteers (Part A), a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 14- and 28-day Multiple-ascending Dose Phase 1a Study in Healthy Volunteers (Part B), and a 28-day Open-Label Phase 1b Study in Subjects with Cystic Fibrosis (Part C)

This is a 3-part, single-ascending dose Phase 1a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers (Part A) and multiple-ascending dose Phase 1a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers (Part B), and a Phase 1b open-label study in subjects with CF (Part C) to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of ABCI. Subjects will be evaluated for eligibility during Screening within 30 days prior to Day 1 (Randomization; Visit 3). In Parts A and B, eligible healthy volunteers may be enrolled in the study and randomly allocated to treatment with ABCI or placebo as described below. In Part C, eligible subjects with CF may be enrolled in the study and receive treatment with ABCI as described below. Approximately 72 healthy subjects total will be randomized to 9 cohorts (48 subjects in 6 cohorts in Part A, 24 subjects in 3 cohorts in Part B) and approximately 36 subjects with CF will receive the low dose, medium dose (2 sentinel subjects), or high dose of ABCI in Part C.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ABCICombination product

    Also called Amphotericin B Cystetic for Inhalation

    Subjects will receive ABCI via oral inhalation

  • PlaceboCombination product

    Subjects will receive ABCI via oral inhalation

Study groups in NCT05802264
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part A Healthy VolunteerExperimentalSubjects will be assigned to one of six planned dose cohorts and receive single doses of ABCI (0.5mg, 1.0mg, 2.0mg, 4.0mg, 6.0mg, 10.0mg). In each cohort, six subjects will receive ABCI and 2 will receive placebo
Receives: Combination Product: ABCI; Combination Product: Placebo
Part B Healthy VolunteerExperimentalSubjects will be assigned to one of three planned dose cohorts and receive a loading dose and multiple ascending doses of ABCI (loading dose 1.5mg/0.5mg daily, loading dose 6.0mg/2.0 daily, loading dose 10.0mg/4.0mg daily). In each cohort, six subjects will receive ABCI and 2 will receive placebo.
Receives: Combination Product: ABCI; Combination Product: Placebo
Part C People with Cystic FibrosisExperimentalSubjects will be assigned to one of two planned dose cohorts of ABCI (loading dose 1.5 mg/0.5 mg daily, loading dose 6.0mg/2.0mg daily, loading dose 10.0mg/4.0mg daily) for a total of 28 days of open-label study drug administration. Up to 36subjects with CF, including 2 sentinels subjects not on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators will be enrolled. The 2 sentinel subjects will receive the medium dose/regimen. If the medium dose/regimen is tolerated, the remaining subjects with CF may receive the low, medium, high dose/regimen of ABCI and may be either on CFTR modulators or not on CFTR modulators. It is anticipated that approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled as follows: 8 high, 8 medium, and 8 low dose/regimen.
Receives: Combination Product: ABCI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ABCI in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Cystetic Medicines, Inc. at 5 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 17 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Australia, 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Martin Burke, MD, PhD (217-244-8726, mburke@cysteticmedicines.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse Events (AEs), and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: up to 10 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 12 Feb 2025.
