About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Food Effect of IAMA-6 Administered Orally to Healthy Adults

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and food effect of IAMA-6 administered orally to healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

The Sponsor's proposed clinical trial is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled first in human study. This is a single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and food effect of IAMA-6 administered orally to healthy adults.

The study consists of the following 3 elements:

Part A: Single Ascending Dose

Part A includes up to 6 cohorts of 8 healthy male and female participants, each receiving a single oral dose of IAMA-6 or placebo (6 IAMA-6 and 2 placebo):

  1. Group A1 (N=8): IAMA-6 Dose 1 (N=6) or Placebo (N=2)
  2. Group A2 (N=8): IAMA-6 Dose 2 (N=6) or Placebo (N=2)
  3. Group A3 (N=8): IAMA-6 Dose 3 (N=6) or Placebo (N=2)
  4. Group A4 (N=8): IAMA-6 Dose 4 (N=6) or Placebo (N=2)
  5. Group A5 (N=8): IAMA-6 Dose 5 (N=6) or Placebo (N=2)
  6. Group A6 (N=8): IAMA-6 Dose 6 (N=6) or Placebo (N=2)

In each cohort, treatment will be randomly assigned, such that 2 participants (1 IAMA-6 and 1 placebo) will be dosed first, as sentinel subjects. If safety and tolerability results are acceptable, based on any adverse reactions or events, after at least 24 hours, the remaining 6 participants will be randomly assigned treatment (5 IAMA-6 and 1 placebo) and dosed. All doses will be taken in a fasting state.

Dose escalation will only occur after all safety data from the completed dose group have been reviewed by the sponsor and site investigator, and it has been determined safe to proceed to the next dose cohort.

Part B: Food Effect After completion of the SAD dose escalation (Part A and review of the PK and safety data, one cohort of subjects who received IAMA-6 (n = 6) at the highest safe dose with measurable exposure, will return to the clinic to receive a 2nd dose of IAMA-6 in the fed state to determine the potential effect of food on the bioavailability of IAMA-6 before initiating Part C. The dose of IAMA-6 will be taken after a high fat meal as described in regulatory guidelines (FDA model).

Part C: Multiple Ascending Dose Part C includes up to 3 cohorts of 8 healthy male and female participants, each receiving oral doses of IAMA-6 or placebo (6 IAMA-6 and 2 placebo) for 7 consecutive days, as follows, the doses and the posology being selected according to their acceptable safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in Part A. Doses will be taken either with or without food according to the results of Part B of the study.

  1. Group C1 (N=8): IAMA-6 Dose X (N=6) or Placebo (N=2)
  2. Group C2 (N=8): IAMA-6 Dose Y (N=6) or Placebo (N=2)
  3. Group C3 (N=8): IAMA-6 Dose Z (N=6) or Placebo (N=2)

In each cohort, treatment will be randomly assigned, such that 2 participants (1 IAMA-6 and 1 placebo) will be dosed first, as sentinel subjects. If the safety and tolerability results are acceptable, based on any reaction or adverse events, after at least 72 hours, the 6 remaining participants will be randomly assigned treatment (5 IAMA-6 and 1 placebo) and dosed. There will be a 7 day follow up after last dosing for all participants followed by review of clinical and laboratory safety data before starting treatment of the next dose cohort.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IAMA-6 in people with Neurodevelopmental Disorders, run by Iama Therapeutics S.r.l. at 1 site in Italy.

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 6 inclusion and 20 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 20 Feb 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 Italy. 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?

Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) (time frame: From time of the first dose to study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Feb 2026.
