What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This early-stage trial tested a single inhaled dose of FLAMOD, a protein that mimics a bacterial signal to activate the immune system, in 46 healthy adults. The goal was to check safety and see if it triggers a local immune response in the lungs. If it works, this approach might one day help prevent pneumonia in vulnerable people.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
FLAMOD (a lab-made protein that mimics bacterial flagellin to activate the immune system)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new way to boost lung immunity and prevent pneumonia in at-risk people.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase I safety trial in only 46 healthy volunteers, so it cannot yet prove the drug works against pneumonia. Side effects or lack of immune activation are possible.

Inhaled and intranasal steroid preparations whatever the dose within 1 month prior to the visit 1. * cytotoxic, antineoplastic, immunosuppressant drugs including: calcineurin inhibitors immunoglobulin, mTOR inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, unspecific immunosuppressors, TNF-alpha inhibitors, immunosuppressive monoclonal antibodies \[e.g., rituximab or infliximab\], any anti-cytokine biological treatment (e.g. TNF-alpha inhibitors, anti-IL6 agents, anti-IL1 agents); within 12 months prior to the visit 1. * concurrent immunostimulant drugs or biologic agents including: growth factors, cytokines, interleukins, interferons; within 12 months prior to the visit 1. * administration of vaccine within 1 month prior to visit 1. * administration of anticoagulant treatments: warfarin (coumadin), fondaparinux, heparin (unfractionated Heparin), low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin, dalteparin), direct oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, dabigatran); within 1 week prior to the visit 1 * pregnant or lactating woman * inability to tolerate a nebulization test with saline * clinically significant vital sign abnormalities (systolic blood pressure lower than 90 or over 150 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure lower than 50 or over 90 mmHg, or heart rate less than 50 or over 100 bpm) * abnormal ECG that is, in the investigator's opinion, clinically significant including: heart rate \<50 BPM, PR interval \> 220 ms, QRS interval ≥ 120 ms, QTc interval \> 450 ms (QT corrected using Bazett's method), second or third-degree atrioventricular block, any rhythm, other than sinus rhythm, that is interpreted by the investigator to be clinically significant * subjects whose baseline laboratory values are outside of the normal range, as shown in Appendix 3 - Normal laboratory values unless the abnormality is considered not to be of clinical relevance by the investigator * positive Hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen or anti Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) antibody, or positive results for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 1 or 2 tests * positive urine nicotine test * positive urine multi-drug test * abnormal chest x-ray * clinically significant abnormality of baseline spirometry tests: forced vital capacity (FVC) \<90% predicted; forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) \<80% predicted; FEV1/FVC ratio \<80% or diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) \<70% predicted * history or presence of drug or chronic alcohol abuse * history of severe psychiatric disorders that may affect participation in the trial * significant concurrent illness and any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety or rights of a volunteer participating in the trial or render the subject unable to comply with the protocol * person subject to a legal protection measure * subject in the exclusion period of a previous study * known allergy or intolerance to study drug (including any of its constituents, e.g. FLAMOD and polysorbate 80)
