Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Verasone

Experimental: SAD Dose Level 1 - Sinonasal irrigation of lowest dose Verasone vs placebo

Experimental: SAD Dose Level 2 - Sinonasal irrigation of second lowest dose Verasone vs placebo

Experimental: SAD Dose Level 3 - Sinonasal irrigation of third lowest dose Verasone vs placebo

Experimental: SAD Dose Level 4 - Sinonasal irrigation of highest dose Verasone vs placebo

Active comparator: Crossover Component - Each active component from the highest well tolerated dose of Verasone will be administered via sinonasal irrigation alone in a within subject crossover to compare plasma drug levels to that seen when dosed with Verasone.

Experimental: MAD Dose Level 1 - The next to highest well tolerated dose of Verasone in the SAD study will be compared to one of the active components in Verasone and to placebo in a 5 day b.i.d. dosing regimen

Experimental: MAD Dose Level 2 - The highest well tolerated of Verasone in the SAD study will be compared to one of the active components in Verasone and to placebo in a 5 day b.i.d. dosing regimen.

Summary
Brief summary
Verasone™ is an aqueous suspension of the combination of two marketed drugs to be dosed by sinonasal irrigation in the treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS). This Phase 1 first-in-human study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single and multiple ascending doses of Verasone versus placebo in healthy normal participants and will evaluate the PK profiles of the Verasone active components administered individually vs in combination.
