Study summary

Phase 2 study, to examine the prophylactic efficacy, safety and tolerability of PrEP-001 in asthmatics who have been infected with the human rhinovirus (HRV16) after receiving two doses of the study drug/placebo.

Read the detailed description

Screening took place up to 90 days before quarantine, where volunteers were asked to complete an informed consent and undergo scheduled screening assessments to determine their eligibility.

Eligible volunteers were invited to test and record their respiratory symptoms and peak expiratory flow (PEF), medications and any adverse events in diary cards from Day -14 to Day -5.

They attended Quarantine on Day -4/-3, received the study drug/placebo intra nasally on Day -2 and Day -1 and subsequently challenged with HRV16 on Day 0. Randomisation to receive study drug/placebo was 1:1.

Volunteers remained in the quarantine unit for 8 days after inoculation.

PEF self-testing continued from Day 9 to Day 28.

On Day 20 (±3 days) and Day 28 (±5 days), volunteers attended follow up visits where they were assessed by a study physician for well-being, on-going symptoms and adverse events.

Study arms

  • Experimental

    Drug: PrEP-001

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo - G-004

    In the Viral Challenge arm and each Safety Arm cohort: A nasal dose of placebo equally divided over both nostrils on 2 consecutive days (Day -2 and Day -1).

    Drug: G-004

Interventions

  • DrugPrEP-001

    A spray dried powder for intranasal administration formulated from an aqueous mixture of pre-gelatinized waxy maize starch and the drug substance delivered using a single dose nasal powder device.

  • DrugG-004
