About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, First-In-Human Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of PVT401 Following Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Single and Multiple Ascending Doses in Healthy Subjects

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn what happens to PVT401 when it enters the human body and how it affects the immune system. It will also provide information about the safety of PVT401 after a single dose and after multiple doses. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Will participants experience any side effects when taking PVT401? How long does it take PVT401 to leave the body after it is administered?

Read more

Healthy volunteers will participate in either the single ascending dose (SAD) or multiple ascending dose (MAD) phase.

In the SAD phase, participants will:

stay in the clinic for two nights, get one dose of PVT401 or a placebo intravenously (through a vein) on Day 1, have blood drawn periodically throughout their stay and be monitored for side effects, and return to the clinic for 3 follow up visits over the four weeks after dosing.

In the MAD phase, participants will:

stay in the clinic for one night prior to each dose of PVT401 or placebo, and get dosed twice a week for 5 weeks. They will have blood drawn periodically throughout the treatment period and be monitored for side effects, and return to the clinic for 4 follow up visits over the six months after dosing.

Read the detailed description

SAD Phase: four cohorts are planned (n=6 per cohort; 2:1 randomization of PVT401 to placebo). This phase consists of five study visits: Screening, Treatment, and Follow-up (Day 8, Day 15, and Day 29). The Screening and Follow-up visits are outpatient; the Treatment visit includes a two-night inpatient stay from Day -1 to Day 2.

Participants will be admitted to the clinic on Day -1, the day prior to dosing. PK sampling will take place on Day 1, and the safety and tolerability of the study drug will be monitored for each participant in the clinic until Day 2 (24 hours post-dose) checkout.

The decision to advance to the subsequent SAD dose cohort will be made by a Safety Review Committee (SRC) following review of all available safety and tolerability data of participants through Day 8.

After completion of a minimum of four cohorts and with the approval of the SRC, the study will transition to the MAD phase.

MAD Phase: two cohorts are planned (n=6 per cohort; 2:1 randomization of PVT401 to placebo). This phase consists of 15 study visits: Screening: Visit 1, Treatment (Visits 2 - 11, dosing b.i.w. for 5 weeks), and Follow-up (Visits 12 - 15, up to 6 months post-dose).

All Treatment visits include a one-night inpatient stay prior to dosing; the Screening and Follow-up visits are outpatient.

The Screening visit can take place up to 42 days prior to Day 1. Participants will check in to the clinic on Day -1, the day prior to the first planned dose on Day 1. Dosing in each cohort will commence with two sentinel participants randomized such that one will receive PVT401 and the other will receive placebo (normal saline; 0.9% sodium chloride). The safety and tolerability of the study drug will be monitored for each sentinel participant through the first two doses (Week 1, Day 1 and Day 4) and will be reviewed by the Investigator prior to dosing the remainder of the participants in the cohort. Following completion of the Day 4 assessments for sentinel participants, all available safety/tolerability information will be reviewed by the Investigator prior to making the decision to dose the remaining participants in each cohort. Once safety and tolerability have been confirmed, the remaining four participants will be randomised (3:1 ratio of PVT401:placebo).

On Week 1, Day 1, all participants will remain for 8 hours after their first dose for observation and PK sampling prior to discharge. Participants will also remain for assessments and observation for a minimum of 8 hours post-dose at all other dosing visits.

The decision to advance to the next MAD dose cohort will be made by the SRC after completion of the five-week dosing cycle, following review of all available safety and tolerability data from the previous cohorts.

What participants receive

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

  • PVT401Drug

    Also called Parvus pMHC nanomedicine

    Parvus pMHC nanomedicines are being developed for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. They consist of an iron oxide core surrounded by dextran that has been linked to multiple copies of a major histocompatibility complex Class II molecule and peptide. The peptide representing a disease-associated autoantigen and its paired MHC II molecule are specific to each autoimmune disease, and will be recognized by the T-cell antigen receptor. PVT401 is a nanomedicine that will be used to target effector T-cells in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), converting them to Type 1 regulatory cells. IV delivery in nonclinical models of IBD induced immune tolerance and attenuation of disease pathology without impairing normal immunity to vaccines or viral and bacterial infections.

    PVT401 will be administered intravenously to healthy volunteers, first as a single dose and then as a multiple dose treatment regimen.

  • Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl)Drug

    Also called placebo

    All cohorts will be administered either PVT401 or placebo in a ratio of 2:1 PVT401:placebo. Participants receiving placebo will be administered an equivalent volume of normal saline as either a single IV dose or as a multiple dose treatment regimen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PVT401 and Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl) in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), run by Parvus Therapeutics, Inc. at 1 site in Australia.

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 18 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 30 Sep 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 Australia. 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?

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 Sarah Executive Director, Clinical Operations (+1 949 378 0896, sgrimberg@parvustx.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single and multiple IV doses of PVT401 in healthy participants: adverse and serious adverse events (time frame: From enrollment through 4-weeks post last dose of study drug). The study lists 13 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 30 Sep 2026.
