About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Verasone™ Administered by Sinonasal Irrigation in Healthy Participants

Verasone™ is an aqueous suspension of the combination of two marketed drugs to be dosed by sinonasal irrigation in the treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS). This Phase 1 first-in-human study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single and multiple ascending doses of Verasone versus placebo in healthy normal participants and will evaluate the PK profiles of the Verasone active components administered individually vs in combination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Part A: Single Ascending Dose (SAD)

    The proportion of subjects with Adverse Events at each dose level

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Part B: Single Dose Component Crossover

    Plasma drug levels of Verasone's components

    Measured: 3 weeks

  3. Part C: Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD)

    The proportion of subjects with Adverse Events at each dose level

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the volume of retained fluid and amount of mucosal absorption in the sinonasal system immediately following single dose Verasone vs placebo administered by sinonasal irrigation in healthy participants.

    To assess the volume of fluid retained in the sinonasal system following dosing.

    Measured: 30 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Verasone in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Diceros Therapeutics at 1 site in Australia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 23 Jan 2025. 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 Australia. 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. 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?

Part A: Single Ascending Dose (SAD) (time frame: 1 week). 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 23 Jan 2025.
