Study summary

The goal is to establish the safety of administration of nasal foralumab to healthy volunteers in escalating doses to determine the dose at which immune effects are observed. Patients will receive doses for 5 consecutive days and have a follow-up period.

Read the detailed description

This was a randomized, double blind phase 1 dose escalation study evaluating 3 dose levels of foralumab via intranasal administration from single-dose vials. The rationale behind the proposed research was to establish an immunologically active dose of foralumab given by the nasal route. Given that foralumab has never been administered by the nasal route to humans, this was a safety and dose finding study. Each dose group was observed until Day 7 to assess safety before moving to the next higher dose. This study also helped determine the dose at which immune effects (induction of regulatory T cells and changes in cytokine profiles of immune cells) were observed in subjects treated with foralumab.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety- Adverse Events

    Establish the safety of administration of nasal Foralumab to healthy volunteers in escalating doses for 5 consecutive days. Two or more serious adverse events occur that are possibly, probably or definitely related to nasal Foralumab.

    Time frame: Day 1 vs End of Study (Day 30)

  2. Immune Effect

    Determine the dose at which immune effects are observed in subjects treated with Foralumab

    Time frame: Dat 1 vs End of Study (Day 30)
