  • Treatment in the previous three months with any drug known to have well-defined potential for toxicity to a major organ
  • History of hypersensitivity to any drug if considered as serious
  • Use of any medication the week prior to study or as based on 5 serum half-life rule and throughout study, including aspirin or other over-the-counter (OTC) preparation. Paracetamol is permissible before and during study as a rescue medication but only with investigator's permission.

  • Smoking. Consumption of ≤5 cigarettes/day or equivalent is acceptable providing the subject can refrain from smoking from one week before and during the whole study duration
  • Consumption of a large quantity of coffee, tea, chocolate (more than 4 cups/day) or equivalent (Cola drinks)
  • Present consumption of a large quantity of alcohol or wine (>0.5 L wine/day) or equivalent, (equivalent to more than 35 g ethanol per day).

About this study

Official title: Phase I Clinical Trial of the KLK Inhibitor MDPK67b to Assess Its Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic, Tolerability and Safety Profile in Healthy Male Volunteers

This is a Phase I, single centre, prospective, randomized, alternating panels, ascending doses with interspersed placebo, double-blind, crossover trial.

The trial will include 8 volunteers divided into 2 panels (A and B) investigated in alternance, each submitted to 4 investigation periods following a crossover design in double blind, with ascending intravenous doses of MDPK67b and an interspersed placebo.

The ascending dose sequence ranges from 2 to 48 mg, with 2-fold increase steps (3 to 4- fold increase steps in each individual volunteer). Three single doses will be administered at a minimum of 2 weeks intervals during the first 3 periods, and finally during the last period 4 repeated doses will be administered at a three days intervals, using either the highest dose of the ascending sequence (i.e. 24 or 48 mg) or the maximal tolerated dose (if it has been exceeded in the ascending sequence of single doses).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MDPK67bDrug

    Two subgroups (Panels A and Panel B) of four subjects were to be randomly allocated either to placebo or to three increasing doses of MDPK67b, administered as single infusion at intervals of at least two weeks during the first three periods with the last period involving four repeated doses administered at three-day intervals.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Two subgroups (Panel A and Panel B) of four subjects were to be randomly allocated either to placebo or to three increasing doses of MDPK67b, administered as single infusion at intervals of at least two weeks during the first three periods with the last period involving four repeated doses administered at three-day intervals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MDPK67b in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Med Discovery SA at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 22 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 9 Apr 2021. 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 Switzerland. 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 of Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Week 8). The study lists 2 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 9 Apr 2021.
