Study of Intravenous ATYR1923 for Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

Study Purpose

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetic (PK), and preliminary efficacy of multiple ascending doses of IV ATYR1923 in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis undergoing a protocol-guided oral corticosteroid (OCS) tapering regimen.This study will consist of 3 staggered multiple dose cohorts. Each eligible participant will participate in only one cohort during the study. Within each cohort, 12 participants will be randomized 2:1 to ATYR1923 (N=8) or placebo (N=4).

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
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.

  • - Any condition that necessitated hospitalization within the 3 months prior to Day 1 or is likely to require so during the study.
  • - Participation in another clinical study of an investigational agent or device within 3 months (small molecules) / 6 months (biologics) or 5 half-lives (if known) of the agent, whichever is longer.
  • - History of or positive results of screening for hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus.
  • - Has been an active smoker (including e-cigarettes or e-vaporizers) within 3 months prior to Screening.

  • - Positive for Jo-1 antibodies (Ab) at Screening, or past history of Jo-1 Ab positivity.
  • - Significant and/or acute illness within 5 days prior to drug administration that may impact safety assessments, in the opinion of the Investigator.

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.

NCT03824392
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.
