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 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or Female subjects ≥18 years to ≤60 years of age, inclusive
  • Body mass index (BMI) between 18 kg/m2 and 32 kg/m2, inclusive and weigh at least 50 kg
  • QT interval (Fridericia's correction [QTcF]); QTcF ≤ 450 msec for males and ≤ 470 msec for females at Screening and prior to dosing on Admittance Day -1
  • Willing and able to give signed Informed Consent and comply with the study visit schedule
  • In good general health as determined by the Investigator's review of medical history, concomitant medications, physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, and ECG evaluations
  • Male subjects must agree to use barrier contraception (male condom) and not donate sperm during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the last dose of NM8074. Barrier contraception is required even with documented medical assessment of the surgical success of a vasectomy
Show all 18Show fewer
  • Female subjects who are of childbearing potential must use highly effective contraception1 or acceptable contraception as defined below, starting at screening and continuing until at least 3 months after the last dose of NM8074. Female subjects must not donate ova during the screening and treatment periods and for at least 3 months after the last dose of NM8074
  • Highly effective contraceptive methods for female subjects are as follows:
  • Combined (estrogen and progesterone containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: i. Oral contraceptives (e.g., oral, injected, implanted) or intrauterine ii. Intravaginal iii. Transdermal b. Progesterone-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: i. Oral ii. Injectable iii. Implantable c. Intrauterine Device d. Intrauterine hormone-releasing system e. Bilateral tubal occlusion/tubal ligation (or comparable procedure)
  • Women of Non-childbearing Potential
  • Postmenopausal: i. 12 continuous months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea without an alternative medical cause and a serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level
  • 40 mIU/mL ii. 6 weeks after surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy b. Post-hysterectomy
  • Sexual Abstinence Subjects who practice true abstinence, because of the subject's lifestyle choice (i.e., the subject should not become abstinent just for the purpose of study participation), are exempt from contraceptive requirements. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. For subjects who practice true abstinence, subjects must be abstinent for at least 6 months prior to screening and must agree to remain abstinent from the time of signing the Informed Consent Form until the end of study.
  • Same-sex Relationships For subjects who are exclusively in same-sex relationships, contraceptive requirements do not apply. A subject in a same-sex relationship at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF) must agree to refrain from engaging in a heterosexual relationship from the time of signing the ICF until the end of study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of a Single Dose of NM8074 Administered Intravenously to Healthy Subjects

This is a Phase 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single administration, sequential cohort with sentinel dosing, dose escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of NM8074 in healthy subjects. This study will include 5 cohorts, with each cohort consisting of a total of 8 healthy subjects, including both males and females, randomized in a 3:1 ratio of NM8074 to placebo (6 subjects assigned to NM8074 and 2 subjects assigned to placebo).

Read the detailed description

NM8074 is a novel, recombinant, humanized monoclonal antibody. NM8074 selectively binds to human Factor Bb with high affinity and blocks the formation of Alternative Pathway (AP) driven C3 and C5 convertases. Both C3 and C5 convertases are critical for exacerbation and amplification of the AP in complement-mediated disorders. 06-101-FIH-NM8074 is the first-in-human clinical trial for NM8074 which is intended to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of NM8074 when delivered as a single intravenous infusion to healthy volunteers. Doses will be escalated in each of the 5 sequential cohorts using sentinel dosing.

Model description
Eligible subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized on Day 1 to either NM8074 or placebo. The sentinel pair in each of the 5 dose cohorts will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive NM8074 or placebo. The remaining subjects will be randomized in a 5:1 ratio to NM8074 to placebo. Dose escalation will occur in sequential cohorts once safety has been evaluated in the prior cohort.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NM8074 in people with Healthy, run by NovelMed Therapeutics 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 18 inclusion and 34 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 8 Dec 2022. 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?

Monitoring of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Up to 71 days post-dose). 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 8 Dec 2022.
