A Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of of AZD6553 in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

September 22, 2010 updated by: AstraZeneca

A Phase I, Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Part Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Oral Doses of AZD6553 in Healthy Volunteers (Parts A and B) and Patients (Part C) With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

AZD6553 is a new drug being developed as a possible treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD refers to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, a pair of two commonly co-existing diseases of the lungs in which the airways become inflamed and the small airsacs of the lungs become damaged. This leads to a limitation of the flow of air to and from the lungs causing shortness of breath. In contrast to asthma, the limitation of airflow is poorly reversible and usually gets progressively worse over time. There is an urgent medical need for therapies that could slow disease progression by targeting the underlying mechanisms associated with the changes in the lungs in patients with COPD. AZD6553 acts by reducing the activity of a protease found to be involved in the disease process in COPD. AZD6553 is being developed as a novel oral treatment to control the symptoms and exacerbations of COPD, and reduce the progression and severity of the disease. The purpose of this research study is to determine how safe and well-tolerated AZD6553 is and how much AZD6553 enters blood circulation by collecting blood and urine samples during the study. We are also investigating what AZD6553 is broken down into, when given orally, how much of the drug is cleared from the body via the kidneys, and the effect of taking the drug after food. This will all be done by analysis of blood and urine samples taken at various point during the study.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
109

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

14 years to 61 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Parts A and B only; Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg/m2.
  • Parts A and B only; Normal physical examination, laboratory values, and vital signs (blood pressure and pulse) unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant.
  • Part C only; clinical diagnosis of COPD for at least one year and Post-bronchodilator FEV1 30 - 80% predicted, FEV1/FVC ratio < 70%

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participation in any clinical study with an investigational drug or new formulation of a marketed drug in the 3 months prior to Visit 2, or participation in a method development study one month prior to Visit 1
  • Part C only: An acute exacerbation or acute respiratory infection (upper or lower) in the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or Visit 2.
  • Part C only: Concomitant diagnosis of significant pulmonary disease other than COPD, including symptomatic asthma, cystic fibrosis and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

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
Time Frame
Safety variables (adverse events, ECG's blood pressure, pulse, safety lab)
Time Frame: Part A Intensive sampling for 24 hours , frequent sampling up to 72 hours, Part B Frequent Sampling over 12 days with intensive sampling on Days 1-2 and 8-9
