What is being measured

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

  1. Safety as assessed by (1) adverse events, (2) laboratory values (3) vital signs (4) physical exam

    Measured: 41 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pharmacokinetics assessed by plasma drug concentration levels

    Measured: 15 days

  2. Pharmacodynamics assessed by red blood cell production and induction of fetal hemoglobin

    Measured: 41 days

  3. Comparison of safety, PK and PD under fed versus fasting conditions

    Measured: 41 days

  4. Comparison of safety and PK when oral iron is administered with HQK-1001.

    Measured: 41 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HQK-1001 in people with Healthy, run by HemaQuest Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 1 site 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 12 inclusion and 13 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 16 Jan 2009. 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 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 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 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?

Safety as assessed by (1) adverse events, (2) laboratory values (3) vital signs (4) physical exam (time frame: 41 days). 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 16 Jan 2009.
