RCT1100 for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called RCT1100 for individuals with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, a condition affecting the lungs and airways. The main goal is to determine if RCT1100 is safe and well-tolerated in humans. The trial seeks volunteers with specific gene mutations related to this condition who can exhale at least half the expected air volume in one second. Those diagnosed with this lung condition and meeting the criteria might be suitable for this trial. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.
Do I need to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that RCT1100 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that RCT1100 is under study to assess its safety and tolerability. This marks the first human trial of RCT1100. The primary aim of these studies is to gather initial safety data. As an early-phase trial, information on RCT1100's tolerability remains limited. However, early-phase studies typically focus on identifying side effects and understanding how the body processes the treatment. More detailed safety information will emerge as the studies progress and more participants join.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike most treatments for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), which typically focus on symptom management through antibiotics and airway clearance therapies, RCT1100 offers a novel approach. RCT1100 is a new drug that researchers are excited about because it directly targets the underlying cause of PCD by potentially correcting the faulty cilia function. This unique mechanism of action could not only improve symptoms but also address the root problem, offering hope for more effective management of the condition.
What evidence suggests that RCT1100 might be an effective treatment for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia?
Research shows that RCT1100 is a new treatment under study for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a condition often caused by changes in the DNAI1 gene. RCT1100 aims to fix these genetic problems. Participants in this trial will receive RCT1100 as part of the experimental treatment arm. Although results from human trials are not yet available, the treatment is expected to help correct the genetic defect. Early studies are examining the safety and tolerability of the treatment, which are important first steps in assessing its potential effectiveness. As more research is conducted, the effects on PCD will become clearer.13678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for healthy adults aged 18-55 who are not able to have children. Participants should be in good health as judged by medical history, lab tests, heart checks (ECG), and physical exams. They must understand the study's procedures, agree to follow them, have a BMI between 18 and 35 kg/m2, weigh at least 50 kg, and have normal lung function (FEV1 of at least 80% predicted).Inclusion Criteria
