Study summary

Phase 1, 3-part study to assess safety, tolerability and PK of single and multiple doses of itraconazole administered as a dry powder for inhalation (PUR1900) in healthy subjects (parts 1 and 2) and a 2-period crossover study of single doses of itraconazole administered as a dry powder for inhalation (PUR1900) and an oral solution (Sporanox) in adults with mild to moderate, stable asthma (part 3)

Read the detailed description

Phase 1, multi-center, 3-part, open-label study in healthy adults (Parts 1 and 2) and adults with mild to moderate, stable asthma (Part 3).

Safety, tolerability and PK will be assessed following either single ascending (SAD) or multiple ascending (MAD) dosing of itraconazole administered as a dry powder for inhalation (PUR1900; Part 1 and Part 2, respectively). Part 1 will comprise 3 separate cohorts planned to receive single doses of 5, 10 and 25 mg itraconzaole, respectively. The study will have an interleaved design; Part 2 will comprise 2 separate cohorts planned to receive daily doses of itraconazole 10 and 20 mg per day for 14 days, respectively. Part 2, Cohort 1 will commence after a review of safety data from Part 1 Cohort 2 suggests it is safe to do so.

Part 3 is a 2-period, randomised, crossover study in adult subjects with mild to moderate stable asthma to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of single doses of itraconazole administered as a dry powder for inhalation (PUR1900) and administered as an oral solution (Sporanox® Oral Solution).

  4. Pre-bronchodilator, clinic measured, FEV1 ≥70% of predicted normal at screening
  5. Able to perform the required spirometric testing.
  6. Able to produce a sputum sample of a quality required for drug concentration assessments (a single repeat is permitted).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects who have received any IMP in a clinical research study within the previous 3 months prior to dosing on this study
  2. Subjects who have previously received IMP in this study. Subjects who have participated in Part 1 are not permitted to participate in Part 2 or Part 3.

  4. Current users of e-cigarettes and nicotine replacement products and those who have used these products within the last 12 months
  5. Females of who are pregnant or lactating, or who plan to become pregnant during the study (all female subjects must have a negative pregnancy test at screening). A woman is considered of childbearing potential unless she is permanently sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal occlusion/ligation) or is (had no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause (will be re-assessed at admission/pre-dose).
  6. Positive drugs of abuse test result at screening or admission
  7. Subjects with congestive heart failure or a history of congestive heart failure
  8. History of severe cough or bronchospasm upon inhalation of any dry powder inhalation product
  9. Subjects who are taking or have taken any herbal remedies or inducers in the 28 days prior to the first IMP administration
  10. Upper respiratory tract infection (excluding otitis media), fever, acute or chronic cough within 14 days of the first IMP administration, or lower respiratory tract infection within the last 3 months prior to IMP administration
  11. Recent (last 4 weeks prior to IMP administration) bacterial, viral or fungal infection that required systemic (oral or intravenous) antibiotics, antivirals or antifungals; topical treatments, other than antifungals, are allowed.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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).

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

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.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2018 to primary completion in Jun 2018, 4 months.

Of 173 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Asthma, half reached primary completion within 5 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 12. This study's 4 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 200 studies reached it within 6 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 14.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Jul 27, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
