About this study

Official title: A Phase Ia, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Dose, Double-Blind, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of SQ109 in Normal, Healthy Male and Female Volunteers

This is a phase 1, "first in man" study to evaluate single oral doses (5-300 mg) of SQ109, a new investigational drug being developed for treatment of tuberculosis. If single doses are safe and well tolerated, subsequent studies will evaluate multiple daily doses in healthy volunteers and patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety

    Compared to baseline measurements:

    Change in Hb, Hct, WBC count / differential, platelet count Change in serum chemistry parameters Change in visual acuity Alteration in color perception Changes in cranial, sensory or motor nerve function, and mental status (as defined by the mini mental status examination) Prolongation in QTc interval, and rhythm changes by electrocardiogram

    Measured: daily examinations for 7 days after single dose drug administration

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetics of SQ109 in fasted subjects and effect of high-fat, high calorie meal on pharmacokinetics

    maximum serum concentration (Cmax) Time to Cmax (Tmax) Area under the curve (AUC) Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) Oral clearance (CL/F)

    Measured: pK samples collected for 96 hours post dose administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SQ109 in people with Tuberculosis, run by Sequella, 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 7 inclusion and 16 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 Aug 2013. 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. 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 (time frame: daily examinations for 7 days after single dose drug administration). 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 Aug 2013.
