Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical characteristics of a quantity of human rhinovirus Type 16 (HRV-16) in healthy volunteers. This source of HRV-16 will be subsequently used in viral challenge studies with new compounds that are intended to treat respiratory diseases.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label study in which all participants know the investigational substance being tested. Participants will be inoculated in the nose with HRV-16 and evaluated for the occurrence of cold symptoms and other indicators. There will be 3 phases: a screening phase, an HRV-16 infection phase, and a follow-up phase. The dose of virus being tested in this study has been previously used in other challenge studies. The total length of participation in the study will be about 4 weeks. Participant safety will be monitored.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the study and sign an informed consent form prior to any study-related procedures
  • Healthy with no clinically significant abnormalities as determined by medical history
  • Women must be neither pregnant nor lactating (producing breast milk) and have a negative urine pregnancy test at Screening Visit 1
  • Women of child-bearing potential and all men must agree to use adequate birth control measures (as determined by the investigator) and must agree to continue to use such measures and not plan a pregnancy until after the Day 6 visit

  • Live with a family member who cares for the elderly, infants, or small children (eg, nursing home or day care provider), or live with someone who has a chronic lung disease, premature infant, or immunocompromised individual
  • Require a prescription or over-the-counter medication on a regular basis (3 or more times per week), except contraceptive preparations, hormone replacement therapy, or topical acne medication
  • Have a history of chronic disease that the Investigator believes are clinically significant
  • Have a history of chronic headaches (eg frequent migraines, cluster headaches) with 3 or more headaches per week

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Clinical symptoms to HRV-16

Time Frame: 6 days

Clinical symptoms to HRV-16 will be assessed using the Cold Symptom Assessment form, which is a 5-point scale of the severity of cold symptoms.

Serological Response

Time Frame: Approximately 4 weeks

Blood samples will be evaluated for serum-neutralizing antibody titer levels to HRV-16.

Secondary Outcomes

  • The number of adverse events(Approximately 4 weeks)
