Phase 1 Crossover Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of KP001 in Healthy Adult Volunteers

Study Purpose

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of several KP001 dose regimens to identify a treatment regimen with a PK profile that safely meets or exceeds the PK profile of existing injected epinephrine products. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • - To evaluate any carryover effect with a 7-day washout of different dose regimens of KP001 in healthy adult volunteers.
  • - To evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of different dose regimens of KP001 in healthy adult volunteers.
  • - To explore the safety, tolerability and PK of one KP001 dose regimen without inhalation (breath holding).
Participants will:
  • - Be admitted to clinical research unit (Day -1) and receive treatment the following day (Day 1) and then will be discharged.
  • - Visit the clinic on Days 2 & 3 post dose for required assessments.
  • - Visit the clinic 6 days post their last dose for dosing and repeated until 5 dosing visits have been completed.
- Visit the clinic for a safety follow-up visit approximately 1 week from last dose administered

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Participation in another clinical study involving an investigational drug within 30 days prior to screening, an investigational biologic within 90 days prior to screening, or current/planned participation in another interventional study during this study.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06963411
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This study is a 5-period crossover design to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of KP001 compared to placebo and to evaluate for the potential for carryover effect (Arms A & B). An exploratory 3rd arm (Arm C) will evaluate the PK of KP001 when breath holding to replicate an unconscious patient situation, and results will be used to design a possible future breath-holding study. Sequence will be either AABBC or BBAAC. Two doses of KP001 (0.25 mg or 1.0 mg) or placebo will be administered to 16 subjects (12 active and 4 placebo subjects) on two separate occasions, separated by a 1-week washout period. A third arm will evaluate one dose of KP001 (0.5 mg) PK while breath holding. The total study duration for subjects will be up to 11 weeks, consisting of:

  • - Participation in up to 6-week screening period.
  • - Attendance of 5 in-patient dosing visits, separated by 1 week.
- Attendance of 1-week post-treatment follow up period

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Treatment Arm A: Two Treatments

Subjects will receive two sets of treatments of 0.25 mg (2 inhalations of 0.125 mg each time) of KP001 (or matching placebo) over 2 visits separated by a 1-week washout period. Investigational Product (IP) will be delivered as 1 set of 2 inhalations (2 total) spaced approximately 10 seconds apart. Subjects will repeat Arm therefore total dose in mg for Arm = 0.5 mg.

Experimental: Treatment Arm B: Four Treatments

Subjects will receive four sets of treatments of 0.25 mg (2 inhalations of 0.125 mg each time), totaling 1.0mg of KP001 (or matching placebo) over 2 visits separated by a 1-week washout period. IP will be delivered as 4 sets of 2 inhalations (8 total) spaced approximately 10 seconds apart. Each set of 2 inhalations will be spaced approximately 2 minutes apart. Subjects will repeat Arm therefore total dose in mg for Arm = 2.0 mg.

Experimental: Treatment Arm C: Breath Hold

Subjects will receive 0.5 mg of KP001 (or matching placebo) delivered as 4 rapidly administered sequential inhalations (4 total), dosed approximately 5 seconds apart, spaced over approximately 15 seconds while holding their breath during the entire dosing treatment and after treatment for a total minimum 30 seconds (or longer) before exhaling. Total dose in mg for Arm = 0.5 mg.
