BLU-5937: First-in-Human, Single and Multiple Doses Escalation, Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Food Effect

November 8, 2018 updated by: Bellus Health Inc

A Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Randomized, Adaptive, First-in-Human Study to Assess, Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Food Effect of Single and Multiple Doses of BLU-5937 Administered Orally in Healthy Male and Female

This is a first-in-human study that will investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ascending single and multiple doses of BLU-5937 using a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized, adaptive, single center study design. The influence of food on the pharmacokinetics of BLU-5037 will also be investigated.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

BLU-5937 is a selective P2X3 receptor antagonist being developed for the treatment of chronic cough. This Phase 1 study will investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ascending single and multiple doses of BLU-5937 administered orally to healthy volunteers.

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 51 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy adult male and/or female (non-childbearing potential or, for women of childbearing potential, using 2 forms of acceptable birth control or agreed to abide by true abstinence),
  • Age: 18 to 55 years (inclusive).
  • Body mass index (BMI) : ≥18.5 and ≤30 kg/m².
  • Non or ex smoker.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any findings from the medical examination (including medical history, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory tests and ECG) outside from normal and deemed by the investigator to be clinically significant.
  • Use of any prescription drugs (with the exception of hormone replacement therapy) in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration, that in the opinion of the investigator would put into question the status of the volunteer as healthy.
  • Volunteers who took an Investigational Product in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration.
  • Volunteers who donated 50 mL or more of blood in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration.
  • Donation of 500 mL or more of blood in the 56 days prior to the first study drug administration.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number and severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Time Frame: up to 48 hours after the last dose
Number and severity of TEAEs collected from dosing until follow up 48 hours after last dose
up to 48 hours after the last 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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: up to 48 hours after the last dose
To assess Cmax of single and multiple ascending oral doses of BLU-5937
up to 48 hours after the last dose
Area under the curve (AUC)
Time Frame: up to 48 hours after the last dose
To assess AUC of single and multiple ascending oral doses of BLU-5937
up to 48 hours after the last dose
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) under fed conditions
Time Frame: up to 48 hours after the last dose
To assess Cmax of a single oral dose of BLU-5937 under fed conditions
up to 48 hours after the last dose
Area under the curve (AUC) under fed conditions
Time Frame: up to 48 hours after the last dose
To assess AUC of a single oral dose of BLU-5937 under fed conditions

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.
