Study summary

This is a phase 1, single-dose, 2-period crossover study in healthy volunteers to compare the systemic pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of inhaled AERO-002 versus inhaled active comparator product.

Read the detailed description

AERO-007 is a propriety inhalation solution formulation of fixed-dose combination of LABA+LAMA (indacaterol and glycopyrrolate) for delivery using a general-purpose nebulizer device.

Combination of a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) bronchodilator and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) bronchodilator is the preferred choice for initial pharmacotherapy for COPD patients with high symptom severity, frequently experiencing breathlessness, and patients with high exacerbation risk.

Although there are currently multiple LABA+LAMA combination bronchodilators available in handheld inhalers, a significant number of COPD patients, generally high risk and older patients, do not receive optimal benefit from inhalers. Nebulized delivery provides an effective alternative where disease management is sub optimal. To date there are no approved LABA+LAMA combinations available by nebulization.

In this phase 1 study, 24 healthy volunteers will be randomized to receive single doses of two study treatments (AERO-002 and active comparator) in a crossover design administered by random sequence. Study assessments will be performed pre- and post-dose for 24 hours. Treatment visits will be separated by a washout period of 7 days.

  • Able to abstain from alcohol for 24 hours prior to the Screening Visit, and prior to and after each dosing visit
  • Female participants of must not be pregnant, breast feeding, or lactating, and heterosexual female participants of childbearing potential must agree to use, with their partner, a male condom plus an approved method of highly effective from the time of informed consent and for 30 days following the last administered dose
  • Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and a negative urine pregnancy test prior to dosing at each Treatment Visit
  • Male participants who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use, with their partner, a male condom plus an approved method of highly effective contraception from the time of informed consent and for 30 days following the last administered dose
  • Participants must agree not to donate semen or ova/oocytes from the time of informed consent and for 30 days following the last administered dose
  • Participants must be in good health as determined by medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead , and clinical laboratory assessments at the time of screening, as judged by the Investigator
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any condition or abnormality (including medical history, clinical laboratory, , physical examination, or vital sign abnormalities), current or past, that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor, would compromise the safety of the participant, or would interfere with or complicate study procedures or assessments
  • Lower respiratory tract infection within 6 weeks prior to the Screening Visit
  • History of of any organ system, except for localized skin cancers, within 5 years prior to the Screening Visit
  • Major surgery (requiring general anaesthesia) within 6 weeks prior to the Screening Visit, or planned surgery through the end of the study
  • Positive serum surface antigen (HbsAg), virus antibodies (HCV Ab) or (HIV) 1 and/or 2 antibodies at the Screening Visit
  • Chronic viral infection or immunodeficiency condition
  • History of any drug and/or alcohol abuse in the past 2 years prior to the Screening Visit

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

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.

Hepatitis C tests

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.

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.

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.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
