About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Blind, Single Ascending Dose Study in Subjects With Stage 3 or 4 Chronic Kidney Disease

Gemini is being evaluated in a placebo controlled, single dose, escalating dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous Gemini in adult subjects with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease. Pharmacokinetics will be evaluated and measurements of the effect of Gemini on pharmacodynamic activity will be measured to assess changes in potential pharmacodynamic markers.

Read the detailed description

Design: Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Single Blind, Single-Ascending Dose Study in Patients with Stage 3-4 CKD.

This study is planned as a placebo controlled, single dose, escalating dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous Gemini in adult subjects with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease. This study will enroll up to 40 subjects in up to 5 cohorts. Each cohort will consist of 8 unique subjects, 6 assigned to Gemini and 2 assigned to placebo. All subjects will provide written informed consent and be screened for eligibility before enrollment. All eligibility criteria must be met prior to dosing.

On Day 1, each study subject will receive a single IV dose (each total dose volume = 20 mL) via syringe pump for at least 10 minutes but not longer than 15 minutes and as per the institution's standard method. Time 0 starts once the entire dose is administered and the line has been flushed to ensure any residual drug is delivered.

A Safety Review Committee (SRC) will assess safety and tolerability including AEs, after at least 6 subjects in each cohort have completed Day 8 to determine the subsequent cohort dose. If a grade 3 or higher adverse event is not experienced, as determined by the SRC, or the criteria for stopping dosing has not been met at a given cohort dose level, dose escalation will proceed to the next cohort and dose level.

Dosing will continue until any cohort experiences a dose limiting toxicity (DLT), defined as a dose that causes any grade 3 or higher adverse event, or stopping criteria is met or the highest dose as determined in the Phase 1 study has been tolerated. If a dose is stopped due to a DLT or stopping criteria, cohorts scheduled at a higher dose will not be utilized. The SRC will meet to review safety and tolerability data and may determine if a lower dose can be given. This dose will be documented in the minutes and a dose recommendation memo which will be provided to the clinical sites.

Once the maximum tolerated dose is determined, the dose will be repeated (Cohort 4) for a total of 16 subjects dosed at the highest level tolerated. The repeated dose cohort will consist of 8 unique subjects, 6 assigned to Gemini and 2 assigned to placebo. If the maximum tolerated dose is reached within the first 2 cohorts, the dose will be repeated until a minimum of 32 subjects are enrolled.

If the highest dose determined in the Phase 1 study is tolerated, optional higher dosing of may be administered as determined by the SRC, or the same dose will be repeated.

All visits will be conducted as an outpatient or via telephone.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Intravenous Gemini in people with Renal Insufficiency, Chronic and Chronic Kidney Disease stage3, run by Revelation Biosciences, Inc at 3 sites in United States.

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 35 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 29 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Effect of Gemini versus placebo on the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. (time frame: From time of dose to Day 8). The study lists 22 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 29 Oct 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
