About this study

Official title: A Non-comparative Open Pilot Trial to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of up to Three Single Doses of AERUMAB 11 (KBPA-101) in Patients With Hospital Acquired Pneumonia Caused by Serotype O11 P. Aeruginosa

The objectives of this open study are to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and clinical outcome of patients who have HAP caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O11 after three separate administrations of KBPA-101 every third day in addition of standard of care antibiotic treatment.

Read the detailed description

Hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a pneumonia occurring 48 hours or more after hospital admission. HAP occurs in patients on conventional hospital wards and in intensive care units (ICU), some of them associated to mechanical ventilation, known as Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). VAP is the most common infection on intensive care units representing 82% of HAP cases. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most frequent pathogens involved in ICU-HAP and despite of adequate treatment its crude mortality remains as high as 70% of the cases.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of physical examination, laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECG and any adverse at repeated times since the screening phase till the end of the study.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To confirm the therapeutic plasma concentration of KBPA-101

    Measured: 30 days

  2. To ascertain the therapeutic efficacy of KBPA-101 given in addition to standard care for hospital acquired pneumonia

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing KBPA-101 in people with Pneumonia and Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, run by Kenta Biotech Ltd at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 8 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 30 Jul 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 Switzerland. 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?

Assessment of physical examination, laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECG and any adverse at repeated times since the screening phase till the end of the study. (time frame: 30 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 30 Jul 2009.
