| NCT03306589 | Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) Challenge Study on Healthy Subjects | PHASE1 | COMPLETED | 12 | — | — | Aug 11, 2017 | Jun 20, 2018 | Aug 8, 2019 | 1 | United Kingdom |
Blood samples were collected at indicated timepoints for the analysis of primary soluble inflammatory mediators like TNF-alpha and IL-6 in blood. Latest pre-challenge LPS assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits was considered as Baseline. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at specified visit minus the Baseline value. Each session was for three days. NA indicates that data was not available as standard deviation could not be calculated for a single participant. All participants who were randomized to receive the treatment (LPS or GM-CSF challenge) and received one dose of challenge agent were included in Safety Population.
The post-challenge urine samples were collected during session 2 after LPS challenge. In session 2, participants were encouraged to pass urine immediately before LPS challenge dose and urine voids were collected from after LPS until 12 hours post-LPS and the time of the urine collection were recorded as post-challenge 1 to 11. These samples were collected for measurement of tetranor-PGDM. Latest pre-challenge LPS assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits was considered as Baseline. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at specified visit minus the Baseline value. The data for normalized Tetranor PGDM was normalized by (Tetranor PGDM \[pg/mL\] divided by Creatinine \[milligram per deciliter\]) multiplied by 100. NA indicates that data was not available as standard deviation could not be calculated for a single participant.
Blood samples were planned to be collected at indicated timepoints for the analysis of primary soluble inflammatory mediators like TNF-alpha and IL-6 in blood. Latest pre-challenge LPS assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits was considered as Baseline. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at specified visit minus the Baseline value. Part 2 of the study was not conducted as agreed criteria for Interim analysis was achieved.
Urine samples were planned to be collected for analysis. Latest pre-challenge LPS assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits was considered as Baseline. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at specified visit minus the Baseline value. Part 2 of the study was not conducted as agreed criteria for Interim analysis was achieved.
Blood samples were collected at indicated time-points for analysis of white blood cells. Latest pre-challenge GM-CSF assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits was considered as Baseline. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at specified visit minus the Baseline value.
Blood samples were planned to be collected at indicated time-points for analysis of white blood cells. Baseline value is Session 2 Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at specified visit minus the Baseline value. Part 2 of the study was not conducted as agreed criteria for Interim analysis was achieved.
| Arm | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Subjects receiving LPS: Part I and Part II | EXPERIMENTAL | Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive LPS in a dose-escalation manner ranging from 0.5 nanogram (ng)/kg to 4 ng/kg. Subjects will be hydrated prior to administration of LPS with normal saline at a rate of 250 mL/hour for 4 hours prior to dosing and 8 hours after dosing. |
| Subjects receiving GM-CSF: Part I and Part II | EXPERIMENTAL | Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive GM-CSF in a dose-escalation manner ranging from 5 to 15 microgram (µg)/kg. |
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cantharidin | BIOLOGICAL | 5 microliter (µL) of 0.2 percent Cantharidin solution (diluted in acetone) will be applied to all subjects on forearm by topical route. |
| Lipopolysaccharide | BIOLOGICAL | 0.5 to 4 ng/kg body weight of LPS formulated as suspension in normal saline will be administered to randomized subjects via intravenous (IV) route in dose-escalation manner. |
| Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor | BIOLOGICAL | 5 to 15 µg/kg of GM-CSF will be administered to randomized subjects via subcutaneous (SC) route in the abdominal region in dose-escalation manner. |
| Saline Solution | DRUG | 0.9 percent sodium chloride will be administered via IV route to all subjects at a rate of 250 mL/hour for 4 hours prior to dosing with LPS and 8 hours after dosing with LPS. |
