About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety & Tolerability of PBI-4050 and Its Effects on Pancreatic and Pulmonary Function in Cystic Fibrosis Patients With Abnormal Glucose Tolerance

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, double blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PBI-4050, and its effects on the pancreatic, pulmonary functions and on various biomarkers in Cystic Fibrosis patients with abnormal glucose tolerance. Patients with abnormal glucose tolerance have elevated glucose level either at 1 hour or 2 hour during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). The Main study will include 24 weeks of treatment with PBI-4050 or matching placebo. At the end of the treatment period, patients will have the option of participating in a 24-week Extension study.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, double blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PBI-4050, and its effects on the pancreatic, pulmonary functions and on various biomarkers in Cystic Fibrosis patients with abnormal glucose tolerance. Patients with abnormal glucose tolerance have elevated glucose level either at 1 hour or 2 hour during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT).

A total of 90 patients will be enrolled for study participation. A Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will continually review individual patients safety data obtained from the 90 patients. When the first 15 patients have completed at least 1 month of study treatment, the DSMB will meet formally to determine whether additional patients may be enrolled, the study should continue with changes or if the study should be stopped. In addition, the DSMB will review the PK data and may recommend dose adjustment based on the PK results.

The total duration of study participation for each patient is at least 32 weeks, including up to 4 weeks of a screening period, 24 weeks of study treatment and 4 weeks of safety follow-up.

Patients who choose to participate in the open label extension will be in the study for an additional 24 weeks of study treatment and 4 weeks of safety follow-up (for a total of 56 weeks).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects with Adverse Events (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation)

    Adverse Event data (including abnormal laboratory values) collected up to final follow-up (30 days after last dose of study drug). Serious Adverse Events that were ongoing at the follow-up visit will be followed until the event resolved, returned to baseline, or was determined to be a stable or chronic condition.

    Measured: Baseline to 1 Year

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change from Baseline in glucose level following Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation)

    Measured: Up to 1 Year

  2. Change from Baseline of insulin-secretion following Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation)

    Measured: Up 1 Year

  3. Change from Baseline of HbA1C following Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation)

    Measured: Up to 1 Year

  4. Change from Baseline in pulmonary function parameters (FEV1 ) (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation)

    Measured: Up to 1 Year

  5. Change from Baseline in pulmonary function parameters ( FVC) (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation)

    Measured: Up to 1 Year

  6. Change from Baseline in pulmonary function parameters (FEV1/FVC ratio) (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation)

    Measured: Up to 1 Year

  7. Change from Baseline in pulmonary function parameters (Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF25%-75%)) (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation)

    Measured: Up to 1 Year

  8. Change from baseline in weight (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation)

    Measured: Up to1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PBI4050 in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Liminal BioSciences Ltd. at 7 sites in Canada.

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 14 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 8 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Canada. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Unsatisfactory rate of recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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 with Adverse Events (Combined Main Study and Extension Study Participation) (time frame: Baseline to 1 Year). 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 8 Dec 2020.
