A Phase 1, Open Label, Ascending Dose Cohort Study of the Pharmacokinetics of Anti-Influenza Hyperimmune Intravenous Immunoglobulin in Healthy Subjects
- Conditions
- FluInfluenza
- Registration Number
- NCT02037282
- Brief Summary
Despite currently available antivirals, influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality, with 226,000 excess hospitalizations and 30,000-50,000 deaths each year in the United States alone, and more therapies are needed in the armamentarium of anti-influenza medications including humoral immunity-based agents.
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of an anti-influenza hyperimmune intravenous immunoglobulin. Beginning with a low dose, subjects will receive anti-influenza intravenous immunoglobulin (FLU-IVIG) and evaluated on Study Days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. The safety and tolerability is evaluated using symptoms, clinical laboratory tests, and pharmacokinetics. Utilizing serum antibody responses as determined by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assays, the dose will be escalated as immunogenicity is established....
