About this study

Official title: A Phase I-II Study of the Safety and Efficacy of a True Human Antibody, 514G3, in Subjects Hospitalized With Bacteremia Due to Staphylococcus Aureus

This study is a Phase I/II, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigating the True Human monoclonal antibody 514G3 in subjects hospitalized with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. Phase I involves dose escalation to evaluate potential toxicity and establish the recommended phase 2 dosage of 514G3. In Phase II (dose expansion), eligible subjects will be randomized at a ratio of 2:1 to receive either a single dose of 514G3 with standard IV antibiotic therapy or a single dose of placebo with standard IV antibiotic therapy, aiming to assess safety and tolerability. The trial aims to determine the safety, efficacy, and optimal dosage regimen of 514G3 in these hospitalized subjects.

Read the detailed description

The Phase I/II trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of True Human monoclonal antibody 514G3 in hospitalized subjects with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.

Phase I entails dose escalation, with subjects randomized (3:1) at three dose levels of the study drug (2 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 40 mg/kg) and placebo, utilizing central randomization. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), defined as Grade 3 or greater adverse events related to 514G3 during follow-up, guide escalation. The Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) is determined based on DLT occurrence.

Phase II, focusing on preliminary efficacy, randomizes eligible subjects (2:1) to receive 514G3 or placebo with standard IV antibiotic therapy. Safety and efficacy assessments are conducted for both phases, encompassing pooled data from both the study drug and placebo groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-limiting Toxicities

    Dose limiting Toxicity are defined as any Grade 3 or greater AE which is probably or definitely related to 514G3 occurring during the FU period after dosing. This measure determines and assesses the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) through participants who experienced DLT at different dose levels.

    Measured: Pre-dose at Day 0 through Day 14. After day 14, samples are collected every other day including discharge, up to 30 days maximum

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced the Adverse Events

    A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality

    Measured: Adverse events occurring between day 0 and day 30 or hospital discharge whichever is shorter

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to Clearance of Bacteremia (Time to Sterile Culture From Date of Randomization)

    The time to sterile culture is the interval in days from the first dose of study drug until 2 consecutive days of negative blood cultures has occurred. The difference in this interval will be compared between patients randomized to placebo and those who received the highest dose of 514G3.

    Measured: Pre-dose at Day 0 through Day 14. After day 14, samples are collected every other day including discharge, up to 30 days maximum

  2. Steady State Maximum Concentration of 514G3

    Blood samples were collected from participants who received study drug 514G3 for the determination of plasma concentration (Cmax).

    Measured: Pre-dose at Day 0 through Day 14. After day 14, samples are collected every other day including discharge, up to 30 days maximum

  3. Length of Hospitalization (Duration of Hospitalization Stay After Randomization)

    This outcome measure assesses the impact of the treatment on the time that participants spend in the hospital. The duration of hospitalization is expressed as the average number of days hospitalized for all participants in their respective cohorts.

    Measured: Pre-dose at Day 0 through Day 14. After day 14, samples are collected every other day including discharge, up to 30 days maximum

  4. Difference in Opsonophagocytosis Activity Between Arms (Pharmacodynamics)

    Serum samples from patients will be assessed with an in-vitro Opsonophagocytosis assay which measures the ability of the serum to mediate uptake of staphylococcus aureus by white blood cells. Differences in the levels of activity will be compared between treatment and placebo. This outcome measure assesses the dose-dependent functional antibody response to 514G3, providing insights into its potential efficacy across different dosage levels compared to placebo. Higher titers in the drug-treated groups indicate better opsonophagocytic activity and thus better efficacy of the drug.

    Opsonophagocytosis activity (OPA) score quantifies the functional antibody response to the investigational drug 514G3.

    For Phase II, this score is determined using an Opsonophagocytosis assay and is calculated as follows:

    Relative Opsonophagocytosis activity = %Phagocytosis 30 minutes after treatment adjusted by baseline / %Phagocytosis of 500 ug/mL spike standard.

    Measured: 14 days

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 9 inclusion and 10 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 9 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

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 Nov 2024). 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 Dose-limiting Toxicities (time frame: Pre-dose at Day 0 through Day 14. After day 14, samples are collected every other day including discharge, up to 30 days maximum). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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?
