About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 & 2, Randomized Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Antiretroviral Activity of Succinylated Human Serum Albumin (Suc-HSA) in Treatment Naïve HIV-1 Infected Subjects

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic behavior of Suc-HSA after consecutive daily intravenous (i.v.) doses. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability and the antiretroviral and immunological effects of consecutive daily i.v. doses of Suc-HSA.

Read the detailed description

This is a single centre, single arm study. Subjects will receive 5 consecutive daily doses of Suc-HSA at a dose of 10 mg/kg on days 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the Special Investigation Unit (SIU), with a safety follow up on the SIU for 4 hours on day 1 and 2 hours on the next days. There will be follow-up visits on week 1, 2, 4 and 12. Standard safety parameters (physical examination, clinical symptoms, laboratory hematology and biochemistry) will be followed until week 12. Plasma HIV-1 RNA and CD4+/CD8+ cell counts will be assessed at every visit. Plasma drug levels (trough and peak) will be measured from baseline until week 2.

6 patients will be included in this study as described in this protocol amendment.

Eligible subjects are chronic HIV-1 infected patients who have never been treated with antiretroviral treatment and for whom there is no need to start antiretroviral treatment.

Test Product: Suc-HSA, a candidate HIV-1 fusion inhibitor.

Duration of treatment: 5 days

Criteria for evaluation:

  • Safety: symptoms, signs at physical examination, standard hematology and chemistry laboratory parameters- Efficacy: changes in plasma HIV-1 RNA and CD4+ T cell count
  • Pharmacokinetics: plasma levels of Suc-HSA: Cmin, Cmax and AUC

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing succinylated human serum albumin in people with HIV Infections, run by International Antiviral Therapy Evaluation Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 11 inclusion and 11 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 24 Apr 2007. 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 Netherlands. 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?

To evaluate the pharmacokinetic behavior of Suc-HSA after consecutive daily i.v. doses.. 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 24 Apr 2007.
