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 19 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Enhanced brain MRI with or without cranial CT confirms a diagnosis of tumor in the anterior skull base, the middle cranial fossa, or the posterior cranial fossa. Structural images, DTI sequences and 3D-CISS sequences confirm that the tumor is adjacent to the cranial nerve or the cranial nerve will be exposed during the neurological surgery.
  • The body weight is within ±20% of standard body weight [0.7×(height cm-80)]kg;
  • The preoperative laboratory examination parameters of heart, lung, liver, kidney and blood are all in the normal range;
  • Be able to understand the potential risks and benefits of the clinical trial, and sign a written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Preoperative hepatorenal insufficiency: ALT or AST increased ≥ 2 times than the upper limit of normal range; serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/ dL (177 μmol/L) or glomerular filtration rate > 30 ml/min×1.73 m2;
  • Positive reaction in the allergy test, or allergic constitution (such as allergic to two or more foods/drugs, or known to be allergic to protein or to this polypeptide);
  • Preoperative imaging data (enhanced MRI) are incomplete;
  • Serious primary diseases involving important organs;
  • Mentally or physically disabled patients;
  • Alcohol abuse or long-term medication may affect the drug metabolism;
Show all 9Show fewer
  • According to the judgment of the investigator, the potential intolerance to the drug (such as weak or severe malnutrition);
  • Primary or secondary cranial nerve dysfunction, such as facial paralysis, hearing loss caused by otitis media, etc.
  • Female patients undergoing neurosurgery during pregnancy or lactation.

About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Clinical Trial of NP41 Molecular Targeted Fluorescence Imaging for Cranial Nerve Visualization During Neurosurgery

Preclinical evidence has shown that NP41 is a novel nerve-binding peptide with safe pharmacokinetics. Fluorescently labeled NP41 is effective for the intraoperative visualization of cranial nerves during neurosurgery. This Phase I/II clinical trial is aimed to investigate the safety and validity of FAM-NP41 for the fluorescence imaging of cranial nerves. In the Phase I trial, biological safety and adverse events will be evaluated, and pharmacokinetic parameters will be measured. In the Phase II trial, the sensitivity and specificity of FAM-NP41 for the fluorescence imaging of cranial nerves will be investigated, and the signal-to-background ratio will be calculated.

What participants receive

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

  • FAM-NP41Drug

    The patients will be injected with FAM-NP41 in one dose intravenously 2 hours prior to the dural incision.

Study groups in NCT05043519

FAM-NP41 Fluorescence ImagingExperimentalThe patients will be injected with FAM-NP41 preoperatively, and fluorescence imaging of cranial nerves will be evaluated after the craniotomy.
Receives: Drug: FAM-NP41

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetic parameters

    Half-life for distribution, half-life for elimination

    Measured: 0~24 hours after the drug administration

  2. Hepatorenal functions

    ALT, AST, BUN, Cr, GFR

    Measured: 0~72 hours after the drug administration

  3. Effectiveness for cranial nerve imaging

    Sensitivity, specificity, signal-to-background ratio

    Measured: Intraoperative period with cranial nerve exposure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adverse events

    Allergic reaction, changes in vital signs

    Measured: 0~72 hours after the drug administration

  2. Functions of cranial nerves

    Physical examination of cranial nerves

    Measured: 0~1 week after the drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing FAM-NP41 in people with Cranial Nerve Injuries, run by Peking University Third Hospital.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chenlong YANG, MD, PhD (+86-13511087060, vik.yang@pku.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pharmacokinetic parameters (time frame: 0~24 hours after the drug administration). The study lists 3 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 14 Sep 2021.
