About this study

Official title: A Phase Ia, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Ascending IV Single-dose Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of ch mAb7F9 in Healthy Subjects

The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of single, ascending intravenous doses of ch-mAb7F9 in healthy subjects via physical examinations and adverse event, vital sign, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory testing.Phase 1a, randomized, placebo-controlled, first-in-human (FIH) study of intravenously administered ch-mAb7F9. The study will be a double-blind, dose-escalation study. Each subject will receive a single dose of ch-mAb7F9 or placebo (saline).

Read the detailed description

There will be 5 dose groups. At the beginning of dosing in each group, 1 subject will receive the normal saline placebo and 1 will receive the active dose. The remainder of the dose group will receive their doses beginning 48 hr later, after safety evaluations. Dosing of the remaining subjects in each dose group will occur 1 at a time, with dosing in each subsequent subject separated by a minimum of 24 hr. Subsequent dose groups will receive their doses beginning approximately 2 weeks after dosing in the preceding group, pending safety analyses.

The single doses to be administered in each cohort are 0.2, 0.6, 2, 6, and 20 mg/kg, respectively. The starting dose will be 0.2 mg/kg, and the highest dose will be 20 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 1,500 mg), which is at least 20-fold lower than the no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) in rats to ensure subject safety.

Ch-mAb7F9 will be administered intravenously (IV) with a saline flush to clear the administration tubing of residual ch-mAb7F9. Each dose of ch-mAb7F9 will be diluted in 225 ml of saline and given over two hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety

    The primary outcome is to determine the safety and tolerability of single, ascending intravenous doses of ch-mAb7F9 in healthy subjects via physical examinations and adverse event, vital sign, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory testing.

    Measured: 21 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pharmacokinetics

    A secondary outcome is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of ch-mAb7F9 following single, ascending intravenous doses of ch-mAb7F9 in healthy subjects by measurement of mAb serum concentrations

    Measured: 21 weeks

  2. Immunogenicity

    A secondary outcome is to characterize the immune response following single, ascending intravenous doses of ch-mAb7F9 in healthy subjects by measurement of human anti-ch-mAb7F9 antibody (HACA) serum titers.

    Measured: 21 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing normal saline and ch-mAb7f9 in people with Methamphetamine Abuse, run by InterveXion Therapeutics, LLC 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 13 inclusion and 22 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 13 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?

Safety (time frame: 21 weeks). 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 NCT01603147, 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 13 May 2014.
