Phase I Study of Topical CRx-191 in Normal Healthy Volunteers
This study has been completed.
First Received: October 15, 2007   Last Updated: November 14, 2007   History of Changes
Sponsored by: CombinatoRx
Information provided by: CombinatoRx
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00544687
  Purpose

CRx-191 is a proprietary synergistic combination drug candidate being evaluated by CombinatoRx for topical psoriasis therapy. CRx-191 was identified via a proprietary screening assay for novel drug combinations demonstrating enhanced inhibition of tumor necrosis factor- alpha and interferon-gamma release, cytokines that are implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.


Condition Intervention Phase

  • Symptoms of a clinically significant illness in the four weeks before the study that may influence the outcome of the study
  • Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody
  • Systemic treatments in the two weeks preceding and during the study that may interact with any of the study drugs, such as: Glucocorticoids (po, im, iv), MAO inhibitors, Anti-depressants, Anti-seizure medications, Anti-psychotics, Antihistamines
  • Subjects who require medications that inhibit the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) 2D6 pathway such as: Quinidine, Cimetidine, Type 1 antiarrhythmics, Phenothiazines, Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as fluoxetine, paroxetine, and sertraline, reserpine, other anticholinergic drugs, and sympathomimetic drugs
