Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of S-1226 in Cystic Fibrosis and Non CF Bronchiectasis
- Registration Number
- NCT03903913
- Lead Sponsor
- SolAeroMed Inc.
- Brief Summary
This is a single center, open label, Phase IIa, multiple-ascending dose study in which subjects with mild to moderate Cystic Fibrosis and non CF bronchiectasis (n≤12) will be enrolled.
The safety and tolerability of S-1226 composed of PFOB with ascending doses of carbon dioxide (4%, 8%, and 12% CO2) administered twice daily in subjects with Cystic Fibrosis and non CF bronchiectasis will be evaluated. This will be followed by 5 day consecutive treatment using the highest tolerated dose of S1226. Participants can choose additional use of a further four weeks (28 days) of S-1226 therapy at home, using same or a lower tolerated dose.
- Detailed Description
This is a single center, open label, Phase IIa, multiple-ascending dose study in which subjects with mild to moderate Cystic Fibrosis and non CF bronchiectasis (n≤12) will be enrolled.
The study will consist of a screening period, a run-in and two dosing and evaluation periods (with a minimum two-day break in between) and a follow-up period.
The dosing and evaluation period of the study is divided into two consecutive components:
1. Dose escalation study
- This segment of the treatment period is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of S-1226 (4%, 8% and 12%) in those with mild-moderate CF and non CF bronchiectasis
2. Daily dosing study - This segment of the treatment period is designed to assess the short term (5 day) safety and tolerability of twice daily administration of a fixed dose of S-1226 in subjects with mild-moderate CF and non CF bronchiectasis.
The primary aim of this study of S-1226 is to capture information to inform follow-up S-1226 clinical studies in CF and non CF bronchiectasis. Important in this regard will be data on safety, tolerability, dosing and efficacy. Specifically, regarding efficacy, the investigators want to examine for optimal dose ranging and magnitude of the effect to determine the power calculations for any follow-up studies and to determine which outcome measures best reflect the effects of the drug. Because the study is investigational in nature, it will be un-blinded and information will be analyzed as it is collected.
During the screening and the run-in period, the subjects will have safety assessments and all eligibility criteria confirmed. The run-in period involves meeting with the study subjects 1 - 2 weeks prior to the start of the treatment for a physical exam, concomitant medication review, spirometry and information regarding the study. The consent process will also take place at this stage.
The dose escalation period will include 3 days of twice daily treatment of the study drug with a washout period in between. The dose of CO2 in S-1226 will be sequentially escalated for the particular subject from the starting dose of 4% CO2. Planned subsequent dose levels are 8% and 12% CO2, although doses may be adjusted within this range based on safety and tolerability data from the completed dosing days. Subjects will not be dosed with a higher CO2 level until drug administration of the preceding dose level has been completed and safety data reviewed by the Safety Committee and a decision taken to proceed or not with the next sequential dose level.
There will be a washout period between the dose escalation and the daily dosing study. The daily dosing study will include 5 days of twice daily treatment of the study drug based on the results of the dose escalation study. Lung function tests will be performed before and after the treatment.
Subjects in the Home Extension Study will receive S-1226 twice daily for 28 consecutive days. Subjects will monitor daily symptom scores. Oxygen saturation values, as determined by pulse oximetry, will be monitored 2 minutes prior to therapy, during therapy and for up to 30 minutes post therapy. Pulmonary function studies will be assessed weekly by the designated respiratory therapist between 4-7 pm.
The follow-up phase will occur 10-14 days after completion of the final dose. This will involve a clinical exam, spirometry and completion of CFQ-R.

Group Intervention Description Dose Escalation Study S-1226 Subjects will receive up to three inhaled doses of S- 1226. Each dose will be administered over a 2-minute treatment period (with a minimum 2-minute break between treatments) with a nebulizer as follows. Three S-1226 formulations will be tested sequentially: * S-1226(4%) is composed of 3 mL PFOB and 4% CO2 * S-1226(8%) is composed of 3 mL PFOB and 8% CO2 * S-1226(12%) is composed of 3 mL PFOB and 12% CO2 Each formulation will be administered by inhalation for a period of 2 minutes.The nebulizer will be filled with 3 mL of PFOB. The nebulizer is connected to a compressed medical gas mixture consisting of either 4%, 8% or 12%, CO2. A driving pressure of 20 psi will be used, producing a gas flow rate of 9 L/min. Daily Dosing Study S-1226 Eligible subjects will receive S-1226 twice daily for 5 consecutive days. Subjects will receive up to three doses of S-1226 in the morning and afternoon, administered over three 2-minute periods with a Circulaire nebulizer, filled with one of the dosages outlined below, depending on the safety and tolerability data gathered from the dose escalation study for that particular subject. * S-1226(4%) is composed of 3 mL PFOB and 4% CO2 * S-1226(8%) is composed of 3 mL PFOB and 8% CO2 * S-1226(12%) is composed of 3 mL PFOB and 12% CO2
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Treatment-emergent adverse events 60 minutes The number and percent of treatment emergent adverse events will be monitored, recorded and graded for severity and assigned attribution. The severity will be assessed in the following manner:
Mild: Awareness of signs or symptoms, but are easily tolerated and are of minor irritant type, causing no limitations of usual activities. Signs or symptoms may require minor action or additional therapy.
Moderate: Discomfort severe enough to cause some limitations of usual activities and may require action or additional therapy.
Severe: Incapacitating with inability to carry out usual activities and requires specific action and/or medical attention. Note: the term severe is not the same as "serious", which is based on subject/event outcome or action criteria usually associated with events that pose a threat to a subject's life or functioning. Seriousness (not severity) serves as a guide for defining regulatory reporting obligations.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in percent of predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 Second 60 minutes Change from baseline in percent of predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 Second (FEV1) will be calculated by measuring FEV1 at baseline and after treatment. FEV1 is defined as the volume of air exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced expiration.
Change from baseline in the respiratory domain of Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire -Revised Up to 4 weeks Change from baseline in respiratory symptoms scores (subscale) of the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire -Revised (CFQ-R) will be measured. CFQ-R is a validated, disease specific, patient reported outcome measure used to evaluate the impact of CF on overall health, daily life, and perceived well-being and symptoms. This sub-scale ranges from scores of 0-100, with higher values representing a better outcome.
