Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of SelK2 on Airway Responses Following Allergen Challenge in Subjects With Asthma (Part 1) and in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Part 2)

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Asthma
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Interventions
Drug: SelK2 (Part 1)
Drug: Placebo (Part 1)
Drug: SelK2 (Part 2)
Drug: Placebo (Part 2)
Registration Number
NCT04540042
Lead Sponsor
Tetherex Pharmaceuticals Corporation
Brief Summary

This study has two parts. The main purpose of Part 1 of this study will be to examine how safe and effective two doses of SelK2 is on participants with mild asthma. Lung function and inflammatory cell numbers will be measured in response to the administration of an allergen (a compound to which the participant is allergic) into the lungs in the presence or absence of SelK2. Part 2 of this study will examine how safe and effective one dose of SelK2 is on participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Lung function and inflammatory cell numbers will be measured in COPD patients in the presence or absence of SelK2. SelK2 may block the movement of key inflammatory cells into the lungs and consequently improve lung function in these two patient populations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in percentage of neutrophils in sputum (Part 2).Change from baseline to Day 22
Maximum percentage fall in FEV1 from pre-challenge between 3 and 8 hours (LAR) after administration of allergen inhalation challenge (Part 1).Pre-challenge to between 3 and 8 hours after administration of allergen inhalation challenge
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline and change during challenge in percentage of eosinophils in sputum (Part 1)Change from baseline to 8 and 24 hours post allergen challenge
Maximum percentage fall in FEV1 and AUC for the percent fall in FEV1 from pre-challenge between 0 and 2 hours after the administration of allergen inhalation challenge (EAR) (Part 1).Pre-challenge to between 0 and 2 hours after the administration of allergen inhalation challenge
Maximum percentage fall in FEV1 and AUC for the percent fall in FEV1 between 0 and 8 hours (entire asthmatic response) after the administration of allergen inhalation challenge (Part 1)Pre-challenge to between 0 and 8 hours after the administration of allergen inhalation challenge
Change from baseline in percentage of neutrophils (Part 2).Change from baseline to Days 4, 8, 15, and 29
Change from baseline in pre-challenge FEV1 (Part 1).Change from baseline to Day 29
AUC for the percent fall in FEV1 from pre-challenge between 3 and 8 hours (LAR) after the administration of allergen inhalation challenge (Part 1).Pre-challenge to between 3 and 8 hours after administration of allergen inhalation challenge
Change from baseline in absolute and percentage cell counts for immune cells in induced sputum samples and blood (Part 2).Change from baseline to Days 4, 8, 15, 22, and 29
Change from baseline in pre- and post-bronchodilator impulse oscillometry (IOS) (Part 2).Change from baseline to Days 4, 8, 15, 22, and 29
Change from baseline in Breathlessness Cough and Sputum Scale (BCSS) scores (Part 2).Change from baseline to Days 4, 8, 15, 22, and 29

Scores range from 0-12 with 12 being associated with the worst outcome.

Change from baseline in FEV1 and post-bronchodilator FEV1 (Part 2).Change from baseline to Days 4, 8, 15, 22, and 29
Change from baseline in pre- and post-bronchodilator whole body plethysmography (Part 2).Change from baseline to Days 4, 8, 15, 22, and 29
Change from baseline in COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores (Part 2).Change from baseline to Days 4, 8, 15, 22, and 29

Scores range from 0-40 with 40 being associated with the worst outcome.
