Serp-1 for the Treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome

February 5, 2009 updated by: Viron Therapeutics Inc

A Phase 2, Multicentre, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Escalating Trial of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Biological Activity of 3 Consecutive Daily Doses of Serp-1 When Added to Conventional Therapy in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes (Non ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction and/or Unstable Angina)

Males and females aged 18-80 years who present with ACS (unstable angina and non ST-elevation MI) defined as one or more episodes of angina lasting at least 5 minutes in the last 24 hours before admission and greater than 0.05 mV of presumed new ST-segment depression in at least 2 contiguous ECG leads OR, angina and per confirmatory angiogram, has been scheduled for percutaneous coronary angioplasty. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of Serp-1 injection when administered in 3 daily doses to patients undergoing conventional therapy for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) requiring early intervention.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

A total of 72 subjects will be enrolled, separated into 3 dose groups and centrally randomized in a 3:1 ratio of Serp-1 injection to placebo control.Subjects will receive Serp-1 by intravenous (IV) bolus injection daily for 3 days, at dose levels of 5.0, 15, and 50 ug/kg/dose or placebo (0.9% normal saline) added to any prescribed therapy for ACS. Serp-1 will be administered as a single IV bolus injection. The initial IV bolus dose is administered immediately preceding the PCI procedure with subsequent doses administered 24 and 48 hours later.Subjects will be evaluated for adverse events, serum inflammatory markers and restenosis rates at 6 months post-dose.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Established diagnosis of unstable angina or NSTEMI with one or more episodes of angina in the 24 hours before hospital admission
  • Scheduled for PCI

Exclusion Criteria:

  • CABG within 6 months
  • Acute ST elevation, eligible for thrombolysis on initial examination
  • Coronary lesions with total thrombotic occlusions

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Safety (Adverse events collected until 6 months post-dose)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Inflammatory marker analysis
MACE
Restenosis at 6 months

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
