About this study
Official title: A Phase 1, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single/Multiple Day Dose Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of 18- Methoxycoronaridine (18-MC HCl) Administered Orally to Normal Healthy Volunteers
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a single day dosing and a separate multiple day dosing of 18-MC HCl administered orally, each part of the study having a different set of healthy male and female volunteers.
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 1, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single day and multiple day dosing, in healthy, non-smoking, male and female volunteers.
Part 1: Single Ascending Dose (SAD)
Seven (7) healthy male and female volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive either 18-MC HCl (n=5) or placebo (n=2) in each cohort. These volunteers will receive 18-MC HCl twice in 1 day (bid).
There are 3 phases: Screening, Enrollment and Follow-Up. All participants will be assessed for safety and tolerability for 28 days. Screening begins when a participant reports to the clinical unit (CU) for a screening visit to undergo safety and compliance assessments on this day. Participants that meet all eligibility criteria will be admitted to the CU on the day prior to receiving study drug. Enrollment begins on Day 1 where participants will receive two doses of study drug for 1 day, will be assessed for 18-MC PK up to 48 hours, and will remain admitted at the CU until Day 3, at which time they will be discharged. For follow-up the participants will return for safety and tolerability assessments at Days 7, 14, 21 and Day 28.
Part 2: Multiple Day Ascending Dose (MAD)
Seven (7) healthy male and female volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive either 18-MC HCl (n=5) or placebo (n=2) in each cohort. These volunteers will receive 18-MC HCl twice over 7 days (bid).
There are 3 phases: Screening, Enrollment and Follow-Up. All participants will be assessed for 42 days. Screening begins when a participant reports to the clinical unit (CU) for a screening visit to undergo safety and compliance assessments on this day. Participants that meet all eligibility criteria will be admitted to the CU on the day prior to receiving study drug. Enrollment begins on Day 1 where participants will receive two doses of study drug every day for 7 days, will be assessed for 18-MC PK up to 48 hours on Day 1 and Day 7, and will remain admitted at the CU until Day 9, at which time they will be discharged. For follow-up the participants will return for safety and tolerability assessments at Days 14, 21, 28, 35 and Day 42.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To assess the safety, using incidence and severity of adverse events, of a single and multiple-day dosing of 18-MC administered orally.
Safety and tolerability will be assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs). An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. AEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs.
Measured: Up to 28 days (SAD) and 42 days (MAD)

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Australia. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
To assess the safety, using incidence and severity of adverse events, of a single and multiple-day dosing of 18-MC administered orally. (time frame: Up to 28 days (SAD) and 42 days (MAD)). 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 5 Jan 2022.
