What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are running a first-in-human Phase 1 trial of SAB01, an experimental bispecific antibody designed to target mast cells, which are immune cells involved in allergic and inflammatory reactions. The study enrolls 88 healthy adults aged 18 to 55 who receive a single dose of SAB01 either by injection under the skin or by intravenous infusion, or a placebo. The main goal is to check safety and tolerability, while also measuring how the drug moves through the body and how it affects a mast cell marker called tryptase.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
SAB01, an experimental bispecific monoclonal antibody that targets mast cells
What this could lead to
If SAB01 proves safe and behaves predictably in the body, it could become a starting point for treatments aimed at mast cell driven conditions such as allergies or chronic hives.
What could go wrong
This is a first-in-human Phase 1 study in 88 healthy volunteers, so its main job is to check safety, not to show benefit. Many experimental antibodies fail later, and early dosing can cause unexpected reactions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provision of signed and dated ICF. 2. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study. 3. Healthy adult male or female aged at least 18 years but not older than 55 years. 4. Body mass index (BMI) within 18.0 to 32.0 kg/m2 inclusive, and up to a maximum body weight of 100 kg at Screening. 5. Non- or ex smokers. Participants must not have used any tobacco products within 6 months prior to Screening. Participants who have discontinued smoking or the use of nicotine or nicotine-containing products for at least 3 months prior to Screening may be enrolled at the discretion of the Investigator 6. Have no clinically significant diseases captured in the medical history or evidence of clinically significant findings on the physical examination (including vital signs) and/or electrocardiogram (ECG), as determined by an Investigator 7. Have clinical laboratory values within the normal range or, if abnormal, deemed not clinically significant by the Investigator (following consultation with the Sponsor, as appropriate). 8. Serum tryptase levels within clinically accepted normal ranges (ie, ≥ 1.4 to ≤11.5 µg/L) at Screening. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Female who is breastfeeding or is pregnant according to the pregnancy test at Screening or on Day -1, or is planning to become pregnant any time during the study and for 8 months after study drug administration. 2. Body temperature ≥ 38°C/100.4 F or symptomatic viral or bacterial infection within 2 weeks prior to Screening, or active or acute infection requiring systemic antibiotic treatment (oral or IV) within 4 weeks prior to Screening. 3. History of clinically significant anaphylaxis, food allergies, asthma, or allergies (chronic or seasonal) requiring medication, as determined by an Investigator. 4. Known or suspected intolerance to SAB01 or any related products (including excipients of the formulations). 5. History of clinically significant diseases within 5 years prior to study drug administration. 6. Clinically significant illness within 4 weeks of study drug administration. 7. Previous or concurrent malignancy with the following exceptions: 1. Adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, 2. In situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix or breast, treated curatively and without evidence of recurrence for at least 3 years prior to Screening. 8. History of alcohol or drug abuse (within 1 year of Screening). 9. History of benign neutropenia and/or an absolute neutrophil count of \< 2.0 × 109/L or 2.0 × 103/µL at Screening or on Day -1. 10. Use of any prescription drugs (with the exception of hormonal contraceptives or hormonal replacement therapy), over-the-counter (OTC) medications, vitamins, herbal medicines (including St. John's wort) or cannabis within 7 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to study drug administration, that in the opinion of an Investigator would put into question the status of the participant as healthy. Acetaminophen is permitted provided the total daily dose does not exceed 2 g per day. 11. Consumption of \> 21 alcohol units per week (where 1 unit = 284 mL of beer, 25 mL of 40% spirit, or a 125 mL glass of wine). 12. Currently enrolled in another investigational drug or device study, or less than 30 days or 5 half-lives of the prior investigational agent (whichever is longer) have passed since completion of another investigational drug or device study; or plans to enroll in another investigational drug or device study during participation in this study.
