About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of a Single Intravenous Dose of ETI-204 in Adult Volunteers

To evaluate the safety and tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single intravenous (IV) dose of ETI-204 in adult volunteers.

Read the detailed description

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of a single IV dose of 16 mg/kg ETI-204 in adult volunteers (210 subjects ETI-204; 70 subjects placebo).

The total duration of the study for each subject will be approximately 100 days divided as follows:

Screening: Days -28 to -2; In-unit Phase: Day -1, Day 1, and Day 2; Out-of-unit Visits: Day 8 (±2 days); Day 15 (±3 days); Day 29 (±3 days); Day 43 (±3 days); Final Visit: Day 71 (±4 days).

Following completion of a screening visit subjects who qualify for entry into the study will be randomized to receive either ETI-204 or matching placebo on Day 1 in a 3:1 ratio. Subjects will be discharged from the clinic on Day 2 following completion of study assessments and will return for five additional visits on Days 8, 15, 29, 43 and 71.

The first 12 subjects will be dosed in groups of no more than 4 subjects/day. A blinded safety review of the available clinical and laboratory AE data up to and including Day 2 will be completed for the first 12 subjects before any additional subjects are dosed. This review will be conducted by the Investigator in conjunction with the Clinical Trial Steering Committee. If the outcome of this review is satisfactory, dosing of additional subjects will be permitted to continue and subjects may be dosed in group sizes larger than 4.

After Amendment 1, premedication with 50 mg oral diphenhydramine approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of study drug infusion was required.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events

    Safety was assessed for all subjects in the safety population by collecting and monitoring vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, ECGs, physical examinations, skin assessments, infusion site assessments, and adverse events.

    Measured: Up to 71 days or 101 days (30 days after the final study visit) for subjects with ongoing adverse events at the final study visit, for each group.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of ETI-204 (Cmax)

    Blood samples were obtained and serum concentrations were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method with an assay range of 100 ng/mL to 5000 ng/mL.

    Measured: On Day 1, prior to the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 3 and 8 hours after the start of infusion and on Days 2, 8, 15, 29, 43, and 71.

  2. Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of ETI-204 (Tmax)

    Blood samples were obtained and serum concentrations were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method with an assay range of 100 ng/mL to 5000 ng/mL.

    Measured: On Day 1, prior to the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 3 and 8 hours after the start of infusion and on Days 2, 8, 15, 29, 43, and 71.

  3. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-last)

    Blood samples were obtained and serum concentrations were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method with an assay range of 100 ng/mL to 5000 ng/mL.

    Measured: On Day 1, prior to the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 3 and 8 hours after the start of infusion and on Days 2, 8, 15, 29, 43, and 71.

  4. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC0-inf)

    Blood samples were obtained and serum concentrations were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method with an assay range of 100 ng/mL to 5000 ng/mL.

    Measured: On Day 1, prior to the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 3 and 8 hours after the start of infusion and on Days 2, 8, 15, 29, 43, and 71.

  5. Terminal Half-life (t1/2)

    Blood samples were obtained and serum concentrations were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method with an assay range of 100 ng/mL to 5000 ng/mL.

    Measured: On Day 1, prior to the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 3 and 8 hours after the start of infusion and on Days 2, 8, 15, 29, 43, and 71.

  6. Systemic Clearance (CL)

    Blood samples were obtained and serum concentrations were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method with an assay range of 100 ng/mL to 5000 ng/mL.

    Measured: On Day 1, prior to the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 3 and 8 hours after the start of infusion and on Days 2, 8, 15, 29, 43, and 71.

  7. Volume of Distribution (Vd)

    Blood samples were obtained and serum concentrations were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method with an assay range of 100 ng/mL to 5000 ng/mL.

    Measured: On Day 1, prior to the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 3 and 8 hours after the start of infusion and on Days 2, 8, 15, 29, 43, and 71.

  8. Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss)

    Blood samples were obtained and serum concentrations were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method with an assay range of 100 ng/mL to 5000 ng/mL.

    Measured: On Day 1, prior to the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 3 and 8 hours after the start of infusion and on Days 2, 8, 15, 29, 43, and 71.

  9. Number of Participants With Anti-ETI-204 Antibodies

    Serum anti-ETI-204 antibody titers were determined for all subjects in the safety population. Blood samples were collected and serum samples were assayed at an initial dilution of 1:10. Samples that were positive at the 1:10 dilution were serially diluted 1:2 and assayed until a negative result was attained. The titer of the most dilute sample yielding a positive result was recorded as the titer for that time point. Immunogenicity was measured by the number of participants in each study arm with anti-ETI-204 antibody values post-treatment ≥ 4-times higher than baseline at Day 8, 43 or 71, or if the titer was negative at baseline, the post-treatment sample(s) required a titer of at least 1:20 for it to be considered positive.

    Measured: On Day 1 prior to the start of infusion and on Days 8, 43, and 71.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ETI-204 in people with Inhalational Anthrax, run by Elusys Therapeutics 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 8 inclusion and 24 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 8 Apr 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Apr 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events (time frame: Up to 71 days or 101 days (30 days after the final study visit) for subjects with ongoing adverse events at the final study visit, for each group.). 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 NCT01929226, 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 8 Apr 2019.
