About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Impact of Intravenous (IV) Bendavia™ (MTP-131) on Endothelial Reactivity Dysfunction Induced by Cigarette Smoking

This will be a phase 1 randomized, double-blind, 2-period, 2-sequence crossover trial enrolling 6 healthy volunteers to assess the impact of IV-administered Bendavia on the endothelial dysfunction induced by a single cigarette.

Being tested
Bendavia, Sterile saline (0.9%), Cigarette smoking

What participants receive

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

  • BendaviaDrug

    Bendavia for infusion Intravenous infusion (0.25mg/kg/hr) for 4 hours

  • Sterile saline (0.9%)Drug

    Sterile saline for infusion (0.9%) Intravenous infusion for 4 hours

Receives: Drug: Bendavia; Other: Cigarette smoking

What is being measured

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

  1. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) between group mean endothelial function (EndoPAT Index) following smoking a single cigarette with and without Bendavia

    Endothelial function will be determined using EndoPAT 2000 (Itamar Medical Ltd) prior to and after smoking of one unfiltered cigarette and prior to and after initiation of study drug. Group comparison of endothelial function (EndoPAT Index) between placebo and active study drug within a subject will be performed.

    EndoPAT quantifies the endothelium-mediated changes in vascular tone. A post-occlusion to pre-occlusion ratio is calculated providing the EndoPAT index.

    Measured: Baseline, +30, +60, +90 minutes post-study-drug administration start

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Anova between group mean inflammatory laboratory marker (hs-CRP; mg/L) after smoking one cigarette with and without Bendavia

    hs-CRP will be evaluated prior to and after smoking of one unfiltered cigarette and prior to and after initiation of study drug. Group comparison of hs-CRP levels between placebo and active study drug within a subject will be performed.

    Measured: Baseline to 24 hours post-study-drug administration

  2. ANOVA between group means of urinary 8-isoprostane (ng/mg of creatinine) after smoking one cigarette with and without Bendavia

    8-isoprostane will be measured prior to and after smoking of one unfiltered cigarette and prior to and after initiation of study drug. Group comparison of laboratory results between placebo and active study drug within a subject will be performed.

    Measured: Baseline to 48 hours post-study-drug administration

  3. Number adverse events with and without Bendavia

    Adverse events will be tabulated by treatment group. No statistical analysis will be preformed.

    Measured: Baseline to Study Day 10

  4. Assessment of Bendavia exposure measured by area Under the Curve (AUC; ng*hr/mL)

    Bendavia levels will be measured and pharmacokinetic parameters reported.

    Measured: Baseline to 48 hours post-study-drug administration

  5. ANOVA between group means of urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (pg/mL) after smoking one cigarette with and without Bendavia

    8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine will be measured prior to and after smoking of one unfiltered cigarette and prior to and after initiation of study drug. Group comparison of laboratory results between placebo and active study drug within a subject will be performed.

    Measured: Baseline to 48 hours post-study-drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bendavia, Sterile saline (0.9%) and Cigarette smoking in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Mighty Therapeutics, 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 1 inclusion and 18 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 19 Apr 2012. 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?

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) between group mean endothelial function (EndoPAT Index) following smoking a single cigarette with and without Bendavia (time frame: Baseline, +30, +60, +90 minutes post-study-drug administration start). 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 19 Apr 2012.
