About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of a Single Dose of ASN100 for the Prevention of Staphylococcus Aureus Pneumonia in Heavily Colonized, Mechanically Ventilated Subjects

The purpose of this study is the prevention of Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia in mechanically ventilated subjects heavily colonized with S. aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogenic bacterium that causes severe infections, including pneumonia and sepsis. Hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) caused by S. aureus, including ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) in mechanically ventilated subjects, is a significant public health threat despite efforts to optimize antibiotic treatment. ASN100 is an investigational monoclonal antibody product that targets the toxins produced by S. aureus to protect subjects from developing S. aureus pneumonia.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind, randomized, single-dose, placebo-controlled study of ASN100 for the prevention of S. aureus pneumonia in mechanically ventilated subjects who are heavily colonized with S. aureus. This will be a global study conducted at approximately 65 sites to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ASN100.

Eligible subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be screened by semi-quantitative culture of an endotracheal aspirate (ETA) to identify those who are heavily colonized with S. aureus (3+ to 4+). Upon determination of eligibility, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment groups, ASN100 or placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of a Single Intravenous (IV) Dose of ASN100

    Percentage of subjects in the MITT population who have or have not developed S. aureus (SA) pneumonia after a single intravenous (IV) dose of ASN100, based on sponsor defined outcome (SDO1). For each arm, the empirical proportion is defined by a ratio, which is the number of SA pneumonia events divided by the total number of subjects in the arm. The inference about the difference of two population rates is based on the empirical counterpart; specifically, the point estimate, 95% confidence interval and p-value for the rate difference. Subjects discontinued from the study due to any cause prior to Day 22 were considered as not developing SA pneumonia for the primary efficacy analysis.

    Measured: Incidence of S. aureus pneumonia up to but not including Day 22

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Duration of Mechanical Ventilation

    Duration of mechanical ventilation during the first 21 days post-randomization for subjects in the Modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT) Population

    Measured: 21 days

  2. Length of ICU Stay

    Total length of ICU stay during the first 21 days post-randomization for subjects in the MITT Population

    Measured: 21 days

  3. 28-day All-cause Mortality

    28-day all-cause mortality in the MITT Population

    Measured: 28 days

  4. ASN-1 and ASN-2 Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax)

    The levels of ASN-1 and ASN-2 measured at completion of study medication infusion, and at 6 hr, 24 hr, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14, Day 22, and Day 90 (final study visit) in subjects who are hospitalized or are able to return to the clinic for blood sampling.

    Measured: through day 90

  5. ASN-1 and ASN-2 Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) in Serum

    The levels of ASN-1 and ASN-2 measured at completion of study medication infusion, and at 6 hr, 24 hr, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14, Day 22, and Day 90 after completion

    Measured: through day 90

  6. ASN-1 and ASN-2 Area Under the Concentration-time Curve in Serum

    The levels of ASN-1 and ASN-2 measured at completion of study medication infusion, and at 6 hr, 24 hr, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14, Day 22, and Day 90 after completion

    Measured: through day 90

  7. ASN-1 and ASN-2 Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2) in Serum

    The levels of ASN-1 and ASN-2 measured at completion of study medication infusion, and at 6 hr, 24 hr, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14, Day 22, and Day 90 after completion

    Measured: through day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ASN100 in people with Pneumonia, Ventilator-associated and Pneumonia, Staphylococcal, run by Arsanis, Inc. at 93 sites in 16 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 31 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 93 sites in United States, Georgia, Russia, Spain, India and 11 more countries. 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 31 Jul 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?

Efficacy of a Single Intravenous (IV) Dose of ASN100 (time frame: Incidence of S. aureus pneumonia up to but not including Day 22). 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 31 Jul 2019.
