About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Randomized, Double Blinded, Placebo Controlled, Ascending Dose Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single Doses of ARCT-810 in Clinically Stable Patients With Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency

Determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single doses of ARCT-810 in clinically stable patients (stable on standard of care treatment, e.g. diet ± ammonia scavengers) with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD).

Read the detailed description

This is a single ascending dose study of ARCT-810 in which approximately 12 (up to a maximum of 20) clinically stable patients with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) are planned to be enrolled.

Each study subject's participation length is approximately 8 weeks, from screening through last study visit. The study comprises an up to 4-week screening period, and a 4-week diet run-in period, to occur concurrently, followed by a 1-day dosing period and a 28-day post-treatment period.

Study participants will be allocated to one of the three single-dose treatment groups (also referred to as cohorts), to test different doses of ARCT-810. Four subjects will be enrolled in each group. Within each cohort, subjects will be randomized 3:1 to receive ARCT-810 or placebo as an IV infusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence, severity and dose-relationship of adverse events (AEs)

    Safety and tolerability of ARCT-810 assessed by determining the incidence, severity and dose-relationship of AEs by dose

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change in area under the curve after single dose of ARCT-810

    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to the last quantifiable time point

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  2. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) after single dose of ARCT-810

    The maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  3. Time at which Cmax occurred after single dose of ARCT-810

    The time at which Cmax occurred (Tmax)

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  4. AUC0-inf after single dose of ARCT-810

    AUC from time zero extrapolated to infinity

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  5. AUCExtrap after single dose of ARCT-810

    The relative portion of AUC0-inf extrapolated beyond AUC0-t

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  6. T1/2 after single dose of ARCT-810

    Terminal half-life

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  7. MRT0-inf after single dose of ARCT-810

    The mean residence time extrapolated to infinity

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  8. CL after single dose of ARCT-810

    Total body clearance, calculated as dose divided by AUC0-inf

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  9. Vss after single dose of ARCT-810

    Volume of distribution

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ARCT-810 in people with Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency, run by Arcturus Therapeutics, Inc. at 8 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 12 inclusion and 19 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 2 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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. 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 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?

Incidence, severity and dose-relationship of adverse events (AEs) (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 2 Aug 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
