About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Dose-ranging Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Single and Multiple Doses of BCX9930 in Healthy Subjects and in Subjects With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria

This is a 3-part Phase 1 dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single (Part 1) and multiple (Part 2) ascending doses of BCX9930 in healthy subjects and in subjects with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH; Part 3). Pharmacokinetics is an analysis of how the body handles the study drug BCX9930 and pharmacodynamics is an analysis of the activity that the study drug BCX9930 may have in the body.

Read the detailed description

Up to 6 sequential ascending dose cohorts are planned to be dosed in a sequential manner in Part 1 of the study. Eight subjects will be treated with a single dose of the study drug per dose cohort (6 subjects per cohort will receive BCX9930 and 2 subjects per cohort will receive matching placebo). Escalation to the next higher dose level will occur only after completion of a review of clinical safety and pharmacokinetics by the Sponsor and PI.

Up to 7 ascending, multiple dose cohorts will be enrolled in a sequential manner in Part 2 of the study. In Cohorts 1 through 3, twelve subjects will be treated with either a 7-day or 14-day course of study drug (10 subjects per cohort will receive BCX9930 and 2 subjects per cohort will receive matching placebo) administered orally. In Cohorts 4 through 7, twelve subjects will be treated with a 3-day course of study drug (10 subjects per cohort will receive BCX9930 and 2 subjects per cohort will receive matching placebo) administered orally. The daily dose may be split into 2 times daily (BID) or 3 times daily (TID) dosing for the multiple ascending dose part as needed. Escalation to the next higher dose level in Part 2 will occur only after completion of a review of clinical safety and pharmacokinetics by the Sponsor and PI.

Part 3 of the study consists of up to 2 sequential ascending multiple dose cohorts of up to 8 subjects; each cohort may enroll up to 4 subjects with PNH who are naïve to both eculizumab and ravulizumab and up to 4 subjects with PNH who are currently being treated with either eculizumab or ravulizumab. In each cohort, subjects will receive one daily dose of BCX9930 on Days 1 to 14 and a higher daily dose on Days 15 to 28. Cohort 2 will start after independent data monitoring committee (DMC) review of Cohort 1 data and communication of their evaluation to Part 3 investigators. In South Africa, subjects that have clinical benefit from BCX9930 will be allowed to continue dosing for up to 48 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BCX9930 in people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, run by BioCryst Pharmaceuticals at 4 sites in 3 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 10 inclusion and 20 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 17 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in South Africa, Austria, United Kingdom. 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 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?

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?

Incidence of graded treatment-emergent adverse events (time frame: Part 1: Day 16). The study lists 37 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 17 Feb 2022.
