Study summary

This study will determine the safety and PK of a single IV dose of ETI-204 in subjects 18 to 65 years of age. Three cohorts will be studied with subjects receiving ETI-204. This study will be randomized, double-blind and stratified by gender. Each cohort will contain 36 subjects (including at least four females), 30 who will receive ETI-204 and six who will receive placebo.

Read the detailed description

Protocol AH-105 is a single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential, dose escalation study. It will evaluate the safety and PK of single IV doses of ETI-204 administered to approximately 108 healthy male and female subjects. At each dose level, 30 healthy subjects, including at least 4 females, will be randomly assigned to active drug, and at least 6 healthy subjects of both genders will be randomly assigned to matching placebo.

Description of Agent: ETI-204 is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to protective antigen (PA) from Bacillus anthracis.

The study will consist of 3 phases: Screening, Inpatient, and Outpatient Follow-up. Enrollment criteria will be determined during the 21-day Screening Phase (Visit 1), following by a 3 night inpatient phase where eligible subjects will receive a single dose of IV ETI-204 or matching placebo as described above and undergo routine safety monitoring, dermatologic assessments, and blood draws at pre-specified time points. Subjects will be discharged from the center after collection of the 48-hour PK sample. During the subsequent 70-day outpatient follow-up phase, subjects will return to the center on Days 8, 15, 29, 43 and 71 for clinical laboratory testing (hematology and clinical chemistry), physical examinations and vital signs measurements, and routine safety monitoring. Blood samples for PK and anti-drug antibodies (ADA)will also be collected. The 70 day post-dosing follow-up in this study was selected to allow characterization for the PK profile of ETI-204 and the potential development of ADA.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

DSM diagnostic criteria

The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 14, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
