Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The primary efficacy analysis will be based on a change in FEV1, expressed as percent of predicted, at Hour 3 when compared to FEV1, expressed as percent of predicted, at the qualifying/screening timepoint.
Hour 3
Number of Patients Reported to Have Adverse Events
Day 1 to Day 2
Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Treatment Days 1- 5

The recording of AEs will start after the subject has signed the consent form and will end at the Hour 24 phone interview. Investigator(s) will monitor each subject closely for AEs and the Investigator will record all observed or volunteered AEs.

Adverse events, cardiac and ECG parameters, vital signs, physical exam and clinical laboratory assessments.
Hour 0 (treatment) through Hour 24 (follow-up)

Secondary Endpoints

Change from baseline FEV1 % of predicted (at time points other than Hour 3)
Hours 1, 2, 3, and 24
Change from baseline FEV1 (L)
Hours 1, 2, 3 and 24
Change from baseline PEFR (L/sec)

Frequently asked questions about MN-221

What is MN-221 used for?

MN-221 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of respiratory conditions, specifically Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma. It has been evaluated in clinical trials for acute exacerbations of asthma and for stable moderate to severe COPD. The drug is not approved and remains in clinical development.

Who makes MN-221?

MN-221 is being developed by MediciNova, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol MNOV. The company has sponsored clinical trials evaluating the drug in patients with asthma and COPD in the United States.

What phase is MN-221 in?

MN-221 has completed Phase 2 clinical trials for asthma and Phase 1 trials for COPD. All four studies listed for the drug are completed, with no active trials currently enrolling. The drug is investigational and has not received FDA approval.

What clinical trials has MN-221 been in?

MN-221 has been studied in four completed clinical trials. Two Phase 2 trials in asthma include NCT00679263 with 17 patients and NCT00838591 with 176 patients. Two Phase 1 trials in COPD include NCT01013142 with 48 patients and NCT01551316 with 19 patients. All trials were conducted in the United States.

Is MN-221 the same as any other drug?

MN-221 is the sole name provided for this investigational drug in the clinical trial records. No alternative names or brand names have been associated with it in the available data. The drug is identified only as MN-221 in the completed trials for asthma and COPD.

How was MN-221 tested in clinical trials?

MN-221 was evaluated in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials for asthma, with a total of 193 patients enrolled across the two Phase 2 studies. The trials did not use biomarker selection. The COPD trials were Phase 1 safety studies with 67 total patients.
