Official title: A Phase 1 Randomized Double Blind Placebo Controlled, Single-Dose, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Inhaled Aerosolized Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate in Healthy Adult Volunteers

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is 'A Randomized Phase 1 Double Blind Placebo Controlled, Single-Dose, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Inhaled Aerosolized Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate in Healthy Adult Volunteers.' The primary objectives are as follows:

• To assess the safety and tolerability of AHCQ administered as a single dose by oral inhalation in healthy individuals at escalating doses until either the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is identified or 1 mL of a 50 mg/mL solution is administered.

• To determine the recommended Phase 2a dose (RP2D).

Secondary objectives:

• To characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) of single dose AHCQ in healthy individuals.

Clinical Trial Description

Study Design:

This is a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 1 single-dose dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of oral inhalation of AHCQ in healthy participants.

Escalating single doses of AHCQ will be studied in healthy participants. The study drug will be administered by inhalation through the mouth, and participants will be encouraged to exhale through the nose. The study drug, AHCQ, will be administered starting at an initial dose of 20 mg (Cohort A1, 1 mL of 20 mg/mL AHCQ solution) with a proposed subsequent doses of 50 mg (Cohort A2, 1 mL of 50 mg/mL AHCQ).

Number of Participants (Planned):

Two dose levels are planned to be evaluated. Each cohort will comprise 8 participants (6 active, 2 placebo). Therefore, 16 participants will initially be planned to be enrolled in the study. Additional participants may be enrolled if one or more enrolled participants do not complete the study. ;
