About this study

Official title: A Phase 2a, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Dose Ranging, Multicenter Study to Determine the Safety, Tolerance, and Efficacy of Larazotide Acetate (AT-1001) in Celiac Disease Subjects During Gluten Challenge.

This study was run to determine the safety, tolerance, and efficacy of multiple doses of larazotide acetate in subjects with celiac disease following a gluten challenge.

Read the detailed description

CLIN1001-004 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, dose-ranging, 7-arm, multicenter study with a gluten challenge. The objects were multiple dose safety and tolerance; efficacy (intestinal permeability [change in urinary LAMA ratio] and disease signs and symptoms) following gluten challenge.

Following a 21-day screening period, subjects were randomized to one of seven treatments groups: four groups received larazotide acetate (0.25 mg, 1 mg, 4 mg or 8 mg TID) along with an 800 mg gluten challenge, one group received placebo with an 800 mg gluten challenge, a safety control arm received the highest dose of larazotide acetate (8 mg TID) and gluten placebo and the last group received drug placebo and gluten placebo. The gluten challenge was administered as capsules (800 mg TID) with each main meal for a total of 2.4 g daily. Drug or drug placebo was administered TID 15 minutes prior to each main meal. Subjects received their assigned treatments for two weeks (Day 0 through Day 14) and came to clinic for a follow-up visit one week later (Day 21). Subjects remained on their gluten-free diet for the duration of the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of multiple, oral doses of larazotide acetate in celiac disease subjects that maintain a gluten-free diet.

    Safety endpoints assessed in this study were adverse events, vital signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis and ECG

    Measured: Safety measurements were performed at Screening and at Day 0, 7, 14, and 21 ('End of Study'). Any change from baseline value was calculated at each subsequent visit until "End of Study" (Day 21).

  2. To evaluate the efficacy of multiple dose levels of larazotide acetate in preventing intestinal permeability changes induced by gluten challenge

    The primary efficacy outcome was the Day 0-to-Day 14 change in urinary LAMA ratio ( a measure of intestinal permeability) as a response to gluten

    Measured: On Days 0, 6, 13, and 20 subjects drank a solution of lactulose and mannitol. Subject's urine was collected during the day on Day 0 and overnight prior to subsequent visits and analyzed for LAMA recoveries via standardized methodologies.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Changes in daily and weekly reported health outcomes

    Health outcomes were assessed using a daily symptom diary; a weekly PGWBI and a weekly GSRS

    Measured: Symptom diary - daily; PGWBI - weekly; GSRS - weekly

  2. Changes in urinary LAMA ratios between Day 0 to Day 7

    See Primary Outcome Measure No. 2

    Measured: See Primary Outcome Measure No. 2

  3. Changes in urinary lactulose fractional excretion between Day 0 to Day 7 to Day 14

    See Primary Outcome Measure No. 2

    Measured: See Primary Outcome Measure No. 2

  4. Changes in urinary mannitol fractional excretion between Day 0 to Day 7 to Day 14

    See Primary Outcome Measure No. 2

    Measured: See Primary Outcome Measure No. 2

  5. Change in urinary nitrite / nitrate levels from Day 0 to Day 14

    Nitrite/nitrate levels were assessed for correlation to the measures of intestinal permeability

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 14

  6. Change in anti-tTG levels from Screening to Day 21

    Changes between screening and Day 21 anti-tTG levels were assessed for correlation to the measures of intestinal permeability

    Measured: Screening and Day 21

  7. Change in cell markers and cytokines from PBMCs

    Serum cytokine and cell surface marker determinations were assessed for correlation to the measures of intestinal permeability

    Measured: Days 0, 7, 14 and 21

  8. Changes in zonulin level

    Serum zonulin levels were assessed for correlation to the measures of intestinal permeability

    Measured: Days 0, 7, 14 and 21

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing larazotide acetate in people with Celiac Disease, run by 9 Meters Biopharma, Inc. at 9 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 12 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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. 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 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 demonstrate the safety and tolerability of multiple, oral doses of larazotide acetate in celiac disease subjects that maintain a gluten-free diet. (time frame: Safety measurements were performed at Screening and at Day 0, 7, 14, and 21 ('End of Study'). Any change from baseline value was calculated at each subsequent visit until "End of Study" (Day 21).). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00362856, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Sep 2017.
