About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple-Dose, Dose-Escalation Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of AVI-7288 in Healthy Adult Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of healthy male and female subjects with intravenous (IV) infusions of AVI 7288 compared to matched placebo in and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK).

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 14 once daily intravenous (IV) infusions of ascending doses of AVI 7288 compared to matched placebo in healthy male and female subjects.

To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of 14 once daily doses of AVI-7288 in healthy male and female subjects

What participants receive

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

  • AVI-7288Drug

    Cohort 1: AVI-7288 at 1 mg/kg IV; Cohort 2: AVI-7288 at 4 mg/kg IV;Cohort 3: AVI-7288 at 8 mg/kg IV; Cohort 4: AVI-7288 at 12 mg/kg IV

    The amount of AVI-7288 required to administer the required dose will be diluted to a volume of approximately 150 mL with normal saline solution (NSS) and given by IV infusion over 30 minutes once a day for 14 days. Infusions will be administered at approximately the same time each day.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AVI-7288Active comparatorAVI-7288 is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer with positive charges (PMOplus™) that targets Marburg virus nucleoprotein (NP). AVI-7288 is supplied in 5 mL vials containing 5 mL AVI-7288 at a concentration of 50 mg/mL. The dose levels of AVI-7288 will vary in four cohort's.

What is being measured

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

  1. The outcome measure is safety, as assessed through adverse event evaluation and serial clinical assessments.

    Measured: daily during dosing period with follow up on Day 21 and Day 42

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The outcome measures are Serial PK Day 1 over 24 hours(predose, 10minutes post, 30 minutes post, 1 hour 1.5, 2, 4, 6,. 8, 12,16,24 hours post dose), daily trough level and on Day 14 (last day of dosing) serial PK until 48 hours post last dose.

    Efficacy will not be assessed in a Phase I study.

    Measured: 2 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AVI-7288 in people with Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever, run by Sarepta 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 7 May 2014. 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?

The outcome measure is safety, as assessed through adverse event evaluation and serial clinical assessments. (time frame: daily during dosing period with follow up on Day 21 and Day 42). 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 NCT01566877, 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 7 May 2014.
