GB-0895 for Asthma and COPD
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the safety and effects of a new treatment called GB-0895 for individuals with asthma or COPD, a lung disease that makes breathing difficult. The trial aims to assess how well the body tolerates this treatment and its behavior inside the body. The study consists of different parts: one for individuals with asthma testing single and multiple doses, and another for those with COPD testing a single dose. It suits individuals with mild to moderate asthma for over a year or COPD for over a year, who are current or former smokers. Participants should not have experienced recent serious flare-ups or require oxygen for COPD. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I have 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 GB-0895 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that GB-0895, a protein designed to target and neutralize specific substances in the body, has been well-tolerated by patients with mild to moderate asthma. In studies, patients who received a single dose of this treatment reported only minor side effects. Although this trial is in its early stages, past experiences suggest that GB-0895 might be safe for humans.
Since this trial is in the first phase, it primarily focuses on safety and tolerability. Researchers are examining how the body responds to the treatment and identifying any side effects. These early trials are crucial to determine if a treatment is safe enough for larger studies. While there is no guarantee, existing data from past studies is promising for GB-0895.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard treatments for asthma and COPD, which often include inhaled corticosteroids or bronchodilators, GB-0895 is unique because it targets inflammation through a novel pathway. Researchers are excited about GB-0895 because it may offer more specific control over inflammatory responses, potentially reducing side effects associated with current therapies. Additionally, its design allows for both single and multiple dosing, which could enhance its flexibility and effectiveness in treating different stages of these conditions. This innovative approach could lead to quicker relief and improved quality of life for patients suffering from asthma and COPD.
What evidence suggests that GB-0895 might be an effective treatment for asthma and COPD?
Research has shown that GB-0895 could be a promising treatment for asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). This monoclonal antibody targets a protein involved in lung inflammation, helping to reduce inflammation in the lungs. The trial includes different treatment arms: Part A involves a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) for asthma participants, Part B involves a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) for asthma participants, and Part C involves a Single Dose for COPD participants. Early findings suggest that GB-0895 remains active in the body longer, potentially reducing the number of doses needed. Initial studies have indicated it might be effective for people with severe asthma, especially those with difficult-to-treat symptoms.16789
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults aged 18-65 with mild to moderate asthma diagnosed for at least a year can join this trial. They must have specific blood values, be able to consent in writing, and not require supplemental oxygen (except CPAP for sleep apnea). Smokers or those with a significant smoking history, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and people with recent COPD exacerbations or other serious diseases cannot participate.Inclusion Criteria
