Phase 2 Study of NX9 for Delineation of Bowel Anatomy

January 13, 2022 updated by: Nextrast, Inc.

APhase 2 Open Label, Study to Evaluate Safety, Pharmacokinetics & Efficacy of Oral Contrast Agent, NX9 for Delineation of Bowel Anatomy at CT Imaging With/Without IV Contrast in Subjects With Cancer or GI Disease Typically Evaluated With CT

This study will evaluate marking and distention of the bowel of the oral contrast agent, NX9, at CT of the abdomen and pelvis, VLDCT with no contrast will be followed by VLDCT with NX9 contrast followed by CT with NX9 and standard IV contrast. Eligible subjects will have cancer or other GI disorders for which CT is typically used to assess their disease. This is an open label study with efficacy evaluated in a masked fashion following completion of the entire study. Results of the NX9 scans will not be used for treatment decisions. PK will be evaluated in a subset of subjects at a single center.

EXPERIMENTAL: NX9 oral contrast agent
Subjects will be given a 9% w/w HBGM concentration of NX9 provided as 1.2L of liquid.

Distension and marking of the bowel lumen will be compared between the 1st and 2nd scan. Ability to see IV contrast enhancement will be assessed on the 3rd scan in relationship to the 2nd scan.

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
Marking and distension of the bowel lumen at CT of the abdomen
Time Frame: approximately 30 minutes
Evaluated by CT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis taken in the following order: VLDCT without contrast, VLDCT with NX9 oral contrast; Readers will assess the Stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, terminal ileum, proximal colon, and distal colon to record the bowel distension as the diameter of the bowel measured as mm distance from inner wall to inner wall, and the marking of bowel as the fraction of bowel length marked by NX9 contrast agent rated on a 5 point scale from 0=none, 1=0 to <25%, 2=25 to <50%, 3=50 to <75%, and 4=75 to 100% the length of the bowel.
approximately 30 minutes

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
Safety: Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events as assessed by physical exam findings and symptoms reported verbatim by subjects.
Time Frame: Up to 14 days
Changes from pre-dose physical exam will be assessed by the PI and recorded as an adverse event, either related or not related to study drug. Additionally, subjects will be queried as to how they are feeling immediately following administration of study drug through 4 hours post-administration, on their Day 3 visit and during the Day 14 phone call. All symptoms will be evaluated by the PI and recorded as adverse events as appropriate. For example, if there are symptoms that are not in keeping with their pre-dose medical history.
Up to 14 days
Safety: Changes in Hematology, Chemistry and Urinalysis parameters - Screening to Post-NX9 dosing
Time Frame: Up to 14 days
An abnormal laboratory result or a change from baseline will be considered an AE if it induces clinical signs or symptoms, if the abnormality is of a degree that requires active management (e.g. discontinuation of the study drug, dose modification) or when the event is requiring treatment or other therapeutic intervention (e.g. iron supplements, blood transfusion, etc.). The following parameters will be evaluated: Hematology (Hgb, RBC, WBC, Platelets, HCT), Chemistry (BUN, Creatinine, ALT, AST, GGT, LDH, AlkPhos, Total Bilirubin, Glucose, Albumin, Total Protein, Sodium, Calcium, Potassium, Phosphate, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Urate, Total Cholesterol), Urinalysis (pH, Specific gravity, Glucose, Protein, Ketones, Bilirubin, Blood, Nitrites, Leukocytes, Urobilinogen). Analysis will look for trends in clinical laboratory abnormalities.
Up to 14 days
Safety: ECGs will be used to assess clinically significant changes that may be indicative of a treatment-emergent AE. Analysis will look for overall trends in ECG changes post-dosing.
Time Frame: Up to 14 days
Standard 12-lead ECGs will be taken on the Day of dosing approximately 1 hour prior to dosing and at 4 hours post-dose and on the Day 3 follow up visit. The following parameters will be recorded (Ventricular rate in bpm, PR interval, RR interval, QRS interval, QT interval, QTcF and overall reading. Any clinically significant findings and changes will be investigated by the PI and reported as AEs if appropriate.
Up to 14 days
Safety: Changes in vital signs from Screening to Post-study drug administration will be assessed for clinical significance and possibility that they are indicative of an AE. Analysis will look for overall trends in vital sign changes post-dosing.
Time Frame: Up to 14 days
Standard 12-lead ECGs will be taken on the Day of dosing approximately 1 hour prior to dosing and at 4 hours post-dose and on the Day 3 follow up visit. The following parameters will be recorded (Ventricular rate in bpm, PR interval, RR interval, QRS interval, QT interval, QTcF and overall reading. Any clinically significant findings and changes will be investigated by the PI and reported as AEs if appropriate.
Up to 14 days
PK: Maximum serum concentration of NX9 following dosing will be assessed in the PK subgroup.
Time Frame: Up to 2 days
Serum samples will be taken at about 2 hours pre-dose, 60 minutes post dose, 4 hours post-dose and 72 hours post dose and evaluated for Cmax.
Up to 2 days
PK: Maximum urine concentration of NX9 following dosing will be assessed in the PK subgroup.
Time Frame: Up to 2 days
Urine samples will be taken at about 2 hours pre-dose, 60 minutes post dose, 4 hours post-dose and 72 hours post dose and evaluated for Cmax.
Up to 2 days
Delineation of bowel wall enhancement related to concurrent intravenous contrast at CT of the abdomen and pelvis
Time Frame: approximately 30 minutes
Evaluated by CT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis taken in the following order: VLDCT without contrast, VLDCT with NX9 oral contrast; Scored on 4-point scale where 0=Cannot determine presence or absence of IV contrast enhancement of bowel wall for any of the oral contrast-filled bowel,1=IV contrast enhancement of bowel wall is clearly assessed for less than half of the oral contrast-filled bowel, 2=IV contrast enhancement of bowel wall is clearly assessed for most of the oral contrast-filled bowel, and 3=IV contrast enhancement of bowel wall is clearly assessed for all of the oral contrast-filled bowel
