Study summary

Study of the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug B11-FC with a single application in adults

Read the detailed description

A three-staged, open-label, prospective study of B11-FC to examine safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics in three dose-escalation groups; pharmacodynamics with a single dose in adult volunteers in a model of the effect of botulinum antitoxin on paralysis caused by botulinum neurotoxin A in EDB muscles in the framework of a double-blind, placebo-controlled comparative study and studying the effect of the study drug on the course of disease caused by botulinum toxin type A in adult patients diagnosed botulism.

The study plans to examine the safety of the drug after a single dose. The therapeutic dose is calculated based on the activity of monoclonal antibodies included in the drug. To ensure the safety of volunteers, drug administration will be started with 1/10 of the therapeutic dose.

The study for each participant of stages 1 and 2 consists of 3 periods:

  • screening (no more than 7 days before drug administration);
  • period of administration of the study drug and observation in a hospital setting (hospitalization for 7 days);
  • follow-up period (from 8 to 90 days from the date of administration). A total of 9 visits will take place, including a screening visit, of which 1 visit will be carried out as part of inpatient observation, and 7 visits will be outpatient. During the visits, volunteers will be examined in accordance with the study plan.

The study design will be the same for all volunteers, with the exception of the dosing regimen.

The study for each participant of stage 3 consists of 3 periods:

  • screening (on the day of hospitalization);
  • period of administration of the study drug and observation in a hospital setting (hospitalization for at least 7 days);
  • follow-up period (from the moment of discharge from the hospital to 90 days from the moment of administration).

During the visits, patients will be assessed and treated according to the study design and botulism treatment standards.

  4. Pregnancy
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Autoimmune disease

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.

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.

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.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Contraindication

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.

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 30, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
