Phase 1 Study of Safety and Biological Effects of C326, an Inhibitor of IL-6, in Crohn's Disease

October 10, 2006 updated by: Avidia

A Placebo-Controlled, Phase 1, Single and Multiple IV Dose Escalation Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Immunogenicity of C326 in Adults With Crohn's Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine whether C326, a new inhibitor of IL-6, is safe in patients with Crohn's disease.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Detailed Description

Determination of safety is the most important goal of this first study with C326. Other goals of the study are to examine:

  • pharmacokinetics (change in serum concentrations over time),
  • biological activity (change in blood markers relecting activity of Crohn's Disease),
  • effects on symptoms of Crohn's disease.

Participants may receive either a single or several intravenous infusions of C326 or matching placebo.
