Study summary

The Aim:

To study safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of NIOCH-14 when administered orally using a set of clinical and laboratory-instrumental methods.

The research tasks are to:

  • to assess the safety and tolerability of different single doses of the drug;
  • to assess the safety and tolerability of different repeated doses of the drug;
  • to study pharmacokinetics of single and repeated administration of the drug;
  • to assess the data on safety and tolerability to select the optimal drug dosing schedule to resolve the issue of conducting phase II clinical trial in an expanded cohort of volunteers.
Read the detailed description

An open, simple, randomized study of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of NIOCH-14 in volunteers aged 18-50 years in parallel groups will be conducted.

The study included 90 healthy volunteers of both sexes aged 18-50 years who met the inclusion criteria, had no exclusion criteria and underwent all screening procedures.

Grouping of the volunteers:

  1. For a single dose of the drug, three groups will be formed: group 1 - 15 volunteers, single 200-mg oral dose; group 2 - 15 volunteers, single 600-mg oral dose; group 3 - 15 volunteers, single 1200-mg oral dose. Before drug administration, volunteers should be hospitalized for a day in the hospital of Federal State Budgetary Healthcare Institution "Medical and Sanitary Unit No. 163 of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency" (FGBUZ MSCH-163, FMBA Russia).

The drug will be first given to 5 healthy volunteers in Group 1. The volunteers will be followed up daily by a clinical investigator for 7 days. In the absence of changes in clinical analyzes and adverse events and the approval of the findings by the IDMC, the remaining subjects in Group 1 will begin to receive the drug.

After 7 days of the follow-up, the first 5 volunteers in Group 2 (600 mg) will start receiving the drug. After 7 days, the remaining 10 volunteers in Group 2 will receive the drug.

The first 5 volunteers in Group 3 will start receiving the drug after obtaining the results for the volunteers in Group 2.

If the volunteers feel satisfactory, they will be discharged on the 2nd day, and then will have to visit the clinical site for examination and identification of adverse events daily for 7 days, after which all volunteers will be given self- monitoring diaries for self-completion to record all adverse events. The volunteers have to present for examination and clinical testing on the 10th, 20th, 30th and 90th day after receiving the drug.

Early (premature) exclusion of subjects from the study (reasons for discontinuation of the studied drug administration):

After randomization and the start of the clinical phase, a clinical investigator may exclude a subject early from the study if:

  • The decision of the clinical investigator to exclude a volunteer is in the best interests of the volunteer.
  • Erroneous inclusion (inclusion and non-inclusion criteria were not allowed for) or the appearance of non-inclusion criteria during the study.
  • Investigator's or Client's decision to exclude a volunteer from the study due to a protocol deviation/violation of the protocol.
  • Any adverse event requiring the prescription of drugs that are not permitted by the protocol of the study (exacerbation of chronic diseases of the liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart; occurrence of infectious (influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections, tonsillitis, hepatitis, etc.) or oncological diseases during the study.
  • Volunteer's refusal to continue participation in the study or his indiscipline.
  • Volunteer's desire to terminate the study early for any reason.
  • Failure of a volunteer to attend a scheduled visit without notifying the clinical investigator, and loss of communication with a volunteer.
  • Positive urine drug test and/or alcohol breath test at visits.
  • Pregnancy. Identification of reasons for premature termination of the study in enrolled subjects leads to their exclusion from the study at the stage when these reasons were identified. In each case of premature termination of the study by a volunteer/exclusion of a volunteer from the study, the clinical investigator must make an appropriate entry in the Individual Registration Card (IRC) with the obligatory indication of the reason for the premature termination or exclusion of a volunteer from the study, and inform the authorized representative of the Customer.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hypersensitivity

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.

Immunosuppression

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.

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.

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.

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.

  37. Monitoring of heart rate at specified intervals.

    Heart rate is recorded (beats per minute) on control days. Changes in the values of this parameter between time points are calculated.

    Time frame: Groups 1-6: at days 0, 1-10, 20, 30, 90.

  38. Monitoring of respiratory movement frequency at specified intervals.

    On the control days, the frequency of respiratory movements (per minute) is recorded. Changes in the values of this parameter between time points are calculated.

    Time frame: Groups 1-6: at days 0, 1-10, 20, 30, 90.

  39. Electrocardiography findings (ECG).

    On control days, a planned standard 12-lead ECG is performed (with measurement of heart rate \[HR\], PR, QRS, QT intervals and QTc calculation). It is performed in the supine position after 5 minutes of rest. The rhythm record in the respective leads must contain measurable data for at least three cardiac cycles. Changes in the values between time points are calculated. If there are any changes in the ECG, the clinical investigator should evaluate their clinical significance.

    Time frame: Groups 1-6: at days 0, 1, 3, 7.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Abdominal ultrasound findings.

    On control days, the absence of signs of abdominal organ changes is monitored using ultrasound. Changes in the values between time points are calculated.

    Time frame: Groups 1-6: at days 0, 7.

  2. Monitoring of the pharmacokinetic parameter "Cmax" for ST-246 (active metabolite of NIOCH-14)

    On control days, blood concentration of the active NIOCH-14 metabolite, namely ST-246, is determined using mass spectrometry. The maximum concentration of a substance in the blood plasma, achieved after substance absorption (pharmacokinetic parameter Cmax) is measured. Changes in the values of this parameter between time points are calculated.

    Time frame: Groups 1-3: at days 1-5; groups 4-6: at days 1-10.

  3. Monitoring of the pharmacokinetic parameter "Tmax" for ST-246 (active metabolite of NIOCH-14)

    On control days, blood concentration of the active NIOCH-14 metabolite, namely ST-246, is determined using mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic parameter Tmax (the time point when the maximum concentration of a substance in the blood is reached) is measured. Changes in the values of this parameter between time points are calculated.

    Time frame: Groups 1-3: at days 1-5; groups 4-6: at days 1-10.

  4. Monitoring of the pharmacokinetic parameter "Cmax /AUC" for ST-246 (active metabolite of NIOCH-14)

    On control days, blood concentration of the active NIOCH-14 metabolite, namely ST-246, is determined using mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic parameter "Cmax /AUC" (the rate of substance entry into the systemic circulation from the injection site) is measured. Changes in the values of this parameter between time points are calculated.

    Time frame: Groups 1-3: at days 1-5; groups 4-6: at days 1-10.

  5. Monitoring of the pharmacokinetic parameter "Elimination rate" for ST-246 (active metabolite of NIOCH-14)

    On control days, blood concentration of the active NIOCH-14 metabolite, namely ST-246, is determined using mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic parameter "Elimination rate" (the rate of substance elimination from systemic circulation through biotransformation (metabolism) in the body, and excretion) is measured. Changes in the values of this parameter between time points are calculated.

    Time frame: Groups 1-3: at days 1-5; groups 4-6: at days 1-10.

  6. Monitoring of the pharmacokinetic parameter "T½" for ST-246 (active metabolite of NIOCH-14)

    On control days, blood concentration of the active NIOCH-14 metabolite, namely ST-246, is determined using mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic parameter "T½" (half-life, the time of 50% substance concentration reduction in plasma) is measured. Changes in the values of this parameter between time points are calculated.

    Time frame: Groups 1-3: at days 1-5; groups 4-6: at days 1-10.

  7. Monitoring of the pharmacokinetic parameter "AUC" for ST-246 (active metabolite of NIOCH-14)

    On control days, blood concentration of the active NIOCH-14 metabolite, namely ST-246, is determined using mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic parameter "AUC" (area under the curve. It is the integral parameter that characterizes the total amount of a substance entering the blood) is measured. Changes in the values of this parameter between time points are calculated.

    Time frame: Groups 1-3: at days 1-5; groups 4-6: at days 1-10.

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 Aug 4, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
