Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial tests the impact of canakinumab on biologic samples (buccal, nasal, and blood) from former smokers with increased risk of cancer. Canakinumab blocks the activity of a protein called interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b), an agent of the inflammatory system and is used for the treatment of different non-cancer diseases (like auto-inflammatory diseases). Giving canakinumab may block the inflammatory system and could have positive effects to reduce cancer growth.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare baseline bronchoscopy biospecimens with samples approximately 70 days after administration of canakinumab (2 doses, approximately 14 days apart) in healthy former smokers. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. Determine the impact of IL-1beta inhibition on downstream inflammatory pathways. OUTLINE: Patients undergo bronchoscopy over 30-60 minutes on day 7 and receive canakinumab subcutaneously (SC) 60 minutes and 2 weeks after the initial bronchoscopy. Patients undergo an additional bronchoscopy on day 77. Patients undergo buccal, nasal, and blood sample collection and carbon monoxide (CO testing on study). ;
