A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Tolerance, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of ALT-BB4 in Healthy Volunteers
Alteogen, Inc. is the lead sponsor of 4 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Common
Female subjects or male subjects' female partner must be menopausal or should have received a sterilization procedure or have agreed to use methods during the study period, as defined below:
Subjects determined eligible for the study through Screening tests (vital signs, physical examination, medical history and surgery history, , and laboratory tests)
Part II-A
Exclusion Criteria:
Common
Subjects who have received or treated with following medications within the specified timeframe prior to Screening (Visit 1) or who are expected to receive them during the study period:
Subjects who do not have normal blood pressure*
*Range of normal blood pressure is defined as systolic and diastolic blood \<120/80 mmHg in accordance with 2018 Korean Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension24) (however, Pre-hypertension (≥ 130/80) is excluded that may occur in normotension).
Others determined ineligible for the study participation in the opinion of investigator
Part II-A
Subjects who have been treated with a drug-metabolizing enzyme inducers and inhibitors*25), 26) within 30 days prior to the IP administration
* Example: Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, Barbiturates, Rifampicin, Griseofulvin, Cimetidine, Disulfiram, Erythromycin, Ketoconazole, Fluconazole, Itraconazole, Valproic acid, Isoniazid, Ciprofloxacin, Omeprazole, Clarithromycin, Quinidine, Sulfonamides, etc.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
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.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
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.
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 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.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
Contraception
