Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy male and female volunteers, 18 to 50 years of age, inclusive.
  • A body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg/m2 and weight between 60 and 90 kg.
  • Healthy as indicated by a comprehensive clinical assessment (detailed medical history and complete physical examination). Supine blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals and routine laboratory tests within the normal range of the study center (see Appendix 4) or considered not clinically significant by the Investigator. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin must be < 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range (ULN). Total bilirubin, if above 1.5 x ULN, is only acceptable with a history of Gilbert's Syndrome.
  • Non-smoker or ex-smoker for longer than 6 months.
  • Sexually active pre-menopausal female subjects and female partners of male subjects must use adequate contraceptive measures, while on study and for at least 100 days after the IMP administration. Sexually active male subjects must use adequate contraceptive measures, while on study and for at least 160 days after the last dose of IMP. All fertile male and female subjects and their partners must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception. Effective birth control includes hormonal contraception (oral, intravaginal, transdermal, injectable or implantable), intrauterine device (IUD) plus one barrier method; or 2 barrier methods. Effective barrier methods are male or female condoms, diaphragms, and spermicides (creams or gels that contain a chemical to kill sperm). Vasectomy (at least 3 months before IMP administration) and vasectomized partner (provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial participant and that the absence of sperm in the ejaculate has been confirmed) are acceptable methods of contraception, as well as post-menopausal female for at least 1 year (confirmed with serum follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] > 25.8 IU/L at screening), or surgically sterilized female subjects. Abstinence is not an acceptable contraception method. Female subjects who are of non-childbearing potential due to a surgical procedure or medical condition must provide documentation, and vasectomized male subjects must bring in the surgical report of the procedure.
  • Able to sign and understand an ICF and able to comply with study restrictions prior to selection.

Who cannot join

  • Presence or history of any disorder that may prevent the successful completion of the study.
  • Clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test results (including hepatic and renal panels, complete blood count, chemistry panel and urinalysis), such as:

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AV-380 in people with Cachexia, run by AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 30 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 12 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Assessment of adverse events (AEs) and treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 60 days). The study lists 45 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 12 Jun 2023.
