About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Multi-Center, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of IV Gallium Nitrate in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis (IGNITE Study)

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of IV gallium to improve pulmonary function as measured by a 5% or greater relative improvement in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) from baseline to Day 28.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 2, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in adults with CF chronically infected with P. aeruginosa. The study will evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of a five day infusion of IV gallium nitrate (IV gallium). The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of IV gallium to improve pulmonary function as measured by a 5% or greater relative improvement in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) from baseline to Day 28.

What participants receive

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

  • Gallium nitrateDrug

    Also called Ga, GaN3O9

    Study subjects will receive an infusion of either placebo or gallium nitrate.

  • Normal SalineDrug

    Also called Sodium Chloride, NS

    Study subjects will receive an infusion of either placebo (normal saline) or gallium nitrate.

Study groups in NCT02354859
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
5 day of infusion of gallium nitrateActive comparatorGallium nitrate will be infused continuously over 5 days at 200 mg/m2/day. Study drug will be administered via a peripheral IV catheter, a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line, midline catheter, or a chronic indwelling vascular access device () using an ambulatory infusion pump infused over 24 hours for 5 sequential days.
Receives: Drug: Gallium nitrate
5 day of infusion of normal salinePlacebo comparatorPlacebo with be dispensed as 1,000 milliliters of 0.9% sodium chloride to match the reconstitution volume of the IV Ga
Receives: Drug: Normal Saline

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With 5% or Greater Relative Change in FEV1 (Liters) From Baseline to Day 28

    Difference between treatment groups in the proportion of subjects with 5% or greater relative change in FEV1 (liters) from baseline to Day 28.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 28

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Incidence is defined as the number and percentage of participants with at least one event over the 56 day follow-up period.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 56

  2. Rate of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Rate is defined as the number of events per participant follow-up week.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 56

  3. Relative Change in FEV1 (Liters) From Baseline to Day 56

    Difference between treatment groups in the relative change in FEV1 (liters) from Baseline to Day 56

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 56

  4. Absolute Change in P. Aeruginosa Sputum Density (log10 (CFU)) From Baseline to Day 56

    Difference between treatment groups in the absolute change in P. aeruginosa sputum density (log10 (CFU)) from Baseline to Day 56 based on quantitative cultures.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 56

  5. Absolute Change in Respiratory Symptoms, as Measured by the CF Respiratory Symptoms Diary-Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Severity Score (CFRSD-CRISS), From Baseline to Day 56

    Difference between treatment groups in the absolute change in respiratory symptoms, as measured by the the CF Respiratory Symptoms Diary-Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Severity Score (CFRSD-CRISS), from Baseline to Day 56. The Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Symptoms Daily Diary asks a participant to state the extent of their 8 respiratory symptoms : difficulty breathing, feverishness, tiredness, chills or sweats, coughing, coughing up mucus, tightness in the chest and wheezing. Each respiratory symptom is assigned a score from 0-4 based on the response, with zero corresponding to the absence of the symptom and four corresponding to symptom being present 'a great deal' or 'extremely'. A summed score (range from 0-24) is calculated for each participant and converted to a final score with a range of 0 to 100, where the lowest scores indicate improvement of symptoms.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 56

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gallium nitrate and Normal Saline in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by University of Washington at 23 sites 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 20 inclusion and 7 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 21 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 21 Mar 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 With 5% or Greater Relative Change in FEV1 (Liters) From Baseline to Day 28 (time frame: Baseline to Day 28). 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 21 Mar 2019.
