About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Determine the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of UV-4B Solution Administered Orally in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of UV-4B oral solution when administered to healthy subjects three times a day (TID) for 7 days.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multiple-ascending dose study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of UV-4B oral solution when administered to healthy subjects TID for 7 days. Three cohorts of 8 subjects each (6 active, 2 placebo) are planned and up to 2 additional cohorts may be added pending safety review of the initial cohorts. Safety review will occur after each cohort. Safety is evaluated through Day 15 on the basis of adverse event (AE) monitoring, clinical laboratory testing (hematology, serum chemistry, coagulation, urinalysis), vital signs, physical examinations (PE), electrocardiograms (ECG), and fecal occult blood testing. Blood samples are collected at specified intervals up to Day 10 for pharmacokinetic assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by Group

    The incidence of TEAEs spontaneously reported by subjects or elicited during examination is reported by dose group. Subjects having multiple TEAEs are counted only once.

    Measured: From the time of first dosing on Day 1 through the Day 15 final follow-up visit

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) by Group

    The incidence of SAEs spontaneously reported by subjects or elicited during examination is reported by dose group. Subjects having multiple SAEs are counted only once.

    Measured: From the time of first dosing on Day 1 through the Day 15 final follow-up visit

  3. Number of Subjects With Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities of Toxicity Grade 1 or Higher by Group

    Clinical laboratory abnormalities are presented as the total of Grade 1 (mild) through Grade 4 (potentially life-threatening) abnormalities according to criteria adapted from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Guidance for Industry, Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (September 2007) and the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) Adult Toxicity Table (November 2007). Within each parameter, subjects having multiple abnormalities are counted only once.

    Measured: From the time of first dosing on Day 1 through the Day 15 final follow-up visit

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Number of Subjects With Outlying Vital Sign Results by Group

    Vital signs of blood pressure (BP), pulse, respiratory rate, and oral temperature were taken after being supine for 10 minutes. Orthostatic vital signs (BP, pulse) were taken after 2 minutes standing. Vital sign results are presented as the number of subjects having Grade 1 (mild) through Grade 4 (potentially life-threatening) abnormalities according to criteria adapted from the FDA Guidance for Industry, Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (September 2007), or having abnormal orthostatic change (standing minus supine result). Within each parameter, subjects having multiple abnormalities are counted only once.

    Measured: From the time of first dosing on Day 1 through the Day 15 final follow-up visit

  2. Number of Subjects With 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities Postdose by Group

    ECGs (ventricular heart rate, wave intervals - PR, QRS, QT, QTcF) were recorded in a supine position (for at least 10 minutes). Baseline was calculated from the average of the triplicate ECGs on Day 1 predose. Within each parameter, subjects having multiple abnormalities are counted only once.

    Measured: From the time of first dosing on Day 1 through the Day 15 final follow-up visit

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Plasma concentrations of UV-4 are determined by means of high performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric assay.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing UV-4B 30 mg oral solution, UV-4B 75 mg oral solution and UV-4B 150 mg oral solution in people with Viral Infection, run by Emergent BioSolutions at 2 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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2024. 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 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 16 Mar 2018). 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 Subjects Reporting Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by Group (time frame: From the time of first dosing on Day 1 through the Day 15 final follow-up visit). The study lists 3 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Mar 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
