NCT01173224

Brief Summary

Influenza (flu) is a common respiratory infection and often causes severe illness. Few drugs are currently approved to treat influenza. This research will test the safety of an experimental anti-influenza drug called DAS181 that is given through an inhaler. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of this new medication and how the body reacts to it. Any side effects will be measured by symptoms, physical examination or laboratory studies. About 27 healthy men and women age 18-45, who meet screening requirements, will participate. Three separate groups will be enrolled, with approximately 9 subjects in each group. Cohort 1:20 mg DAS181 or placebo for 1 day (total dose of 20 mg). Cohort 2: 20 mg DAS181 or placebo for 10 consecutive days (total dose of 200 mg). Cohort 3: 30 mg DAS 181 or placebo for 1 day (total dose of 30 mg.) Procedures include blood samples, electrocardiograms (measures heart activity) and breathing tests.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Safety and tolerability of single and multiple dose DAS181 treatment: adverse events, hematology, clinical chemistry, blood coagulation, haptoglobin, urinalysis, throat swab for bacterial culture, ECG, chest X-ray, and spirometric lung function.

    Up to Day 90

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Blood samples to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of DAS 181.

    Day 0 through Day 30.

  • Blood samples to determine the immunogenic profile of DAS 181.

    Day 0 through Day 90.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 45 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Male and female subjects in good health in the opinion of the site Principal Investigator (PI) or subinvestigator as determined by vital signs, medical history, and a physical exam.
  • Subjects must be able to verbalize understanding of the consent form, provide written informed consent and verbalize willingness to complete study procedures.
  • Be 18 to 45 years of age (inclusive), at the time of screening.
  • Subjects must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.5-35.
  • No recent history of smoking in the past six months regardless of clinical relevance.
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) with no clinically significant abnormalities recorded at screening visit: PR interval within 120 and 200 ms, QRS interval \< 120 ms, and QTc interval less than or equal to 440 ms.
  • Blood pressure within normal limits (systolic 90-140 mm Hg; diastolic 50-90 mm Hg) and heart rate between 45 and 100 beats per minute.
  • Chest X-ray shows no clinically significant abnormalities.
  • Negative Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBSAg), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) antibody screening tests.
