Trial summary

RhuDex® (code number AV1142742) is a novel, orally bioavailable, low molecular weight modulator of co-stimulation of T lymphocytes. RhuDex® binds to the protein CD80 (also known as B7-1) on the surface of antigen-presenting cells and inhibits its interaction with CD28 (but not with CTLA-4) presented by CD4+ T… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: CT 5002 An Open-label, Non-randomized, Monocentric Phase I Study Evaluating the Pharmacokinetic Profile of RhuDex® Using a Tablet Formulation

RhuDex® (code number AV1142742) is a novel, orally bioavailable, low molecular weight modulator of co-stimulation of T lymphocytes. RhuDex® binds to the protein CD80 (also known as B7-1) on the surface of antigen-presenting cells and inhibits its interaction with CD28 (but not with CTLA-4) presented by CD4+ T lymphocytes.

RhuDex® is being developed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. To improve oral bioavailability, the study drug has to be co-administered with an alkaline buffer that increases gastric pH values. In previous in vitro and phase I studies, meglumine has been identified as the most effective buffer. Study CT 5002 is designed to evaluate the bioavailability of four increasing doses of RhuDex®, combined with a fixed amount of meglumine using a tablet formulation, under fed and fasted conditions as well as with co-administration of the proton pump inhibitor pantoprazole. Furthermore, dose/plasma concentration proportionality for single dosing and accumulation effects for repeat dosing of RhuDex® will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, non-randomized, monocentric Phase I study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of single-dosed and repeat-dosed RhuDex® using a tablet formulation as well as to assess the effect of food and the effect with co-administration of a proton pump inhibitor on the bioavailability of RhuDex®.

12 healthy male subjects will receive study medication in 8 different treatment periods in 4 subsequent steps A, B, C and D.

Within steps A and B, the subjects will receive different treatments (4 in A and 2 in B), sequentially. There will be a wash-out period of at least 4 days between each of the 8 different treatments/treatment periods of steps A, B, C and D.

In Step A, each subject will receive increasing doses of RhuDex® in 4 subsequent treatments. In Step B, each subject will receive 2 different doses of RhuDex® preceded by pantoprazole intake, in 2 subsequent treatments, and in Step C the RhuDex® dosing will be preceded by a standardized high-fat, high-calorie meal. In Step D, RhuDex® will be administered twice daily for 7 days.

For assessing the pharmacokinetic profile of RhuDex® in steps A, B and C, blood samples will be collected prior to and at different intervals after RhuDex® administration. In step D, blood samples will be collected on Days 1, 2, 4 and 7. Cmin, Cmax, tmax, t½ term, CL/F, AUC(0-t), and AUC(0-∞) of RhuDex® will be analyzed.

Safety will be evaluated by regular observation and documentation of AEs, vital signs, physical examination, ECG, and laboratory parameters.

What participants receive

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

  • RhuDex®Drug

    Also called AV1142742

    • Treatment A.1: 31.65 mg RhuDex® once N=12
    • Treatment A.2: 63.33 mg RhuDex® once N=12
    • Treatment A.3: 126.63 mg RhuDex® once N=12
    • Treatment A.4: 253.26 mg RhuDex® once N=12
    • Treatment B.1: 31.65 mg RhuDex® once N=12
    • Treatment B.2: selected dose of RhuDex® once N=12
    • Treatment C: selected dose of RhuDex® once N=12
    • Treatment D: selected dose of RhuDex® twice daily for 6 days N=12

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the relationship between the dose of RhuDex® administered and the plasma concentrations achieved following single and repeated doses under fed and/or fasted conditions and with/without administration of pantoprazole

    Measured: 24 -96h pharmakokinetic laboratory values

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To gain further safety and tolerability data of RhuDex®

    Measured: during treatment phase and 28 days afterwards

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RhuDex® in people with Pharmacokinetics, run by MediGene at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 19 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2010. 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 United Kingdom. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Following an SAE, study was put on hold. After performing preclinical follow-up studies, volunteers were no longer available for continuation.). Results are not available in the source record.

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 assess the relationship between the dose of RhuDex® administered and the plasma concentrations achieved following single and repeated doses under fed and/or fasted conditions and with/without administration of pantoprazole (time frame: 24 -96h pharmakokinetic laboratory values). 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 Mar 2010.
