A Study of CNTO 3157 in Healthy Normal and Asthmatic Participants Inoculated With Human Rhinovirus Type 16

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Volunteers and Asthma
Interventions
Drug: Placebo (asthmatic patients)
Drug: CNTO 3157 (healthy participants)
Drug: Placebo (healthy participants)
Drug: CNTO 3157 (asthmatic patients)
Other: HRV-16
Registration Number
NCT01704040
Lead Sponsor
Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Brief Summary

The main purposes of this study are to evaluate the safety (Parts 1 and 2) and efficacy (Part 2) of pretreatment with CNTO 3157 in healthy adult and asthmatic adult participants before and after intranasal (into the nose) inoculation with human rhinovirus type 16 (HRV-16).

Detailed Description

This is a two-part, randomized (participants are assigned to treatment by chance), double-blind (participants and investigators do not know what study agent is being administered), placebo-controlled study. A placebo appears identical to a study agent, has no active ingredients, and helps investigators evaluate the effect of a study agent. In Part 1, following administration of CNTO 3157 or placebo, the severity of an upper respiratory tract infection, due to inoculation with HRV 16, will be assessed in healthy participants for safety reasons. In Part 2, following administration of CNTO 3157 or placebo and inoculation with HRV-16, efficacy and safety will be assessed in asthmatic participants using standard assessments to evaluate asthma treatments. The study (Parts 1 and 2) will be completed when the last participant completes the last visit (Week 11) in Part 2.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The maximum percent decrease relative to baseline in the prebronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) measurements (Part 2)Up to 10 days after inoculation with human rhinovirus type 16 (HRV-16)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AUC of change from baseline in Cold and Chest Symptom ScaleUp to 10 days after inoculation with HRV-16

Cold and chest symptoms are rated using a 5 point scale: 0 using a 5 point scale (0=none and 4=very severe). Scores can range from 0-60, with higher scores indicating more symptoms.

AUC of change from baseline in log-transformed fractional concentration of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO)Up to 10 days after inoculation with HRV-16
Area under the serum concentration versus time curve (AUC) of change from baseline in Cold Symptom Assessment ScoreUp to 10 days after inoculation with HRV-16

Cold symptoms is rated using a 5 point scale (0=none and 4=very severe). Scores can range from 0-32, with higher scores indicating more symptoms.

AUC of the change from baseline in prebronchodilator percent predicted FEV1Up to 10 days after inoculation with HRV-16
Change from baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ)Up to 10 days after inoculation with HRV-16

ACQ is an instrument designed to evaluate asthma control. Seven items are scored on a 7-point scale (0=good control, 6=poor control) with the mean score as an overall summary score. Questions 1-6 are completed by the patient; the last item is entered by site personnel and corresponds to the patient's percent predicted FEV1 categorized according to the 7-point scale. Higher scores reflect poorer control.

Change from baseline over time in prebronchodilator and postbronchodilator FVCUp to 11 weeks
Change from baseline over time in prebronchodilator and postbronchodilator FEV1/FVCUp to 11 weeks
Change from baseline in average total asthma symptom diary scoreUp to 11 weeks
Change from baseline in average number of nocturnal awakeningsUp to 11 weeks
Change from baseline in average rescue medication use over timeUp to 11 weeks
AUC of the percent change from baseline in clinic assessed prebronchodilator FEV1Up to 10 days after inoculation with HRV-16
AUC of change from baseline in morning (AM) peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)Up to 10 days after inoculation with HRV-16
Change from baseline in Cold Symptom Assessment ScoreUp to 11 weeks

Clinical symptoms to HRV-16 will be assessed by using the Cold Symptom Assessment Score, wherein participants will report the presence and severity of their cold symptoms in the context of the previous 24 hours via an interactive interview with the study staff. The symptoms consist of nasal congestion (stuffy nose), rhinorrhea (runny nose), sore throat, sneezing, cough, headache, malaise (feeling run down, tired) and chilliness. Severity is rated using a 5 point scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, and 4=very severe). Scores can range from 0-32, with higher scores indicating more symptoms.

Change from baseline in morning/evening PEFR over timeUp to 11 weeks

AUC of the change from baseline in prebronchodilator FEV1/FVCUp to 10 days after inoculation with HRV-16
Change from baseline in Cold and Chest Symptom ScaleUp to 11 weeks

The Cold and Chest Symptom Scale contains 15 items composing 2 domains, a total cold score and a total chest score. Together, these 2 domains comprise the chest symptom assessment score.

Total Cold Score domain: sneezing, runny nose, blocked or stuff nose, sore throat or hoarse voice, headache or face pain, generally unwell, chills, fever or shivery and cough and Total Chest Score domain: cough on waking, wheeze on waking, daytime cough, daytime wheeze, daytime chest tightness, daytime breathlessness and nocturnal cough, wheeze and breathlessness.

Severity is rated using a 5 point scale: 0 using a 5 point scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, and 4=very severe). Scores can range from 0-60, with higher scores indicating more symptoms.
