Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
In the completed Parts 1 and 2 of this trial, the tolerability and safety of intravenous doses of INO-4885 ranging from 1-600 mcg/kg administered to healthy adult volunteers was established . Based upon these findings and animals toxicology (safety ) studies, 1200 mcg/kg of INO-4885 will be administered intravenously to healthy adult volunteers in this trial (Part 3) at a rate of 15 mL/min.

Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 4501 0
Tolerability and Safety: results of physical examinations, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram (ECG) tracings, drug exposure, concomitant medications, withdrawals/termination, renal safety biomarkers, and adverse events (AEs) will be used to assess tolerability and safety. Adverse events such as clinically significant abnormal findings on safety tests reported by the investigators and events reported by enrolled subjects will be recorded, listed, and reviewed.
Timepoint [1] 4501 0
Physical examinations at Screening and Days 0, 1, 2, and 7; vital signs at Screening, Day 0, Day 1 (pre-dose and immediately following conclusion of the study drug infusion, every half hour for 1 hour, every hour for 3 hours, and then every 4 hours for 8 hours), Day 2, Day 3, and Day 7; clinical laboratory tests at Screening and Days 2,3, and 7; electrocardiogram (ECG) tracings at Screening, Days 0, Day 1 (pre-dose and at 0, 20, 60, 120, and 180 min post-dose), and on Days 2, 3, and 7; blood samples for INO-4885 levels and/or kidney safety markers on Day 1 at pre-dose and at 0, 20 and 40 minutes, and at 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 24, 30, 48, and 54 hours post administration of INO-4885; urine collected for 48 hours on Days 1-3 for levels of INO-4885; and documentation at Screening and on Days 0, 1, 2, 3, and 7 of concomitant medications, withdrawals, terminations, and adverse events (AEs) will be used to assess tolerability and safety.
Secondary outcome [1] 7611 0
Pharmacokinetic profile
Timepoint [1] 7611 0
Blood for INO-4885 levels will be sampled on Day 1 at pre-dose and at 0, 20 and 40 minutes, and at 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 24, 30, 48, and 54 hours post administration of INO-4885.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Allocation was concealed using sealed opaque envelopes
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Allocation to intervention is randomized controlled trial. Randomisation was accomplished using simple random generation code generated by software purched from Statistical Analysis Software (SAS). Code was written and executed by an outsourced vendor, Medistat, located in Kiryat Atidim, Israel. The vendor also prepared the opaque envelopes and randomisation lists.

Summary
Brief summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety of increasing doses of an experimental drug called INO-4885. In the earlier, completed parts (Parts 1 and 2) of this study, a single dose on INO-4885 at 1-600 micrograms per kilogram body weight was given to healthy male volunteers via a catheter placed in an arm vein. In Part 3 of this study, one dose of 1200 micrograms per kilogram body weight will be given to healthy male volunteers. Safety assessments will include physical examinations, routine blood and urine tests, electrocardiograms, blood and urine levels of INO-4885, and other indicators of safety will be recorded and analyzed.
