Testing the AVI-7100 Flu Drug in Healthy Volunteers

Completed · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Influenza

In brief

Background: \- Influenza (flu) is a virus that causes people to get sick. Most of the time, the flu causes only a mild illness, but some people can become seriously ill or even die from it. Currently, some pills and inhaled powders can be used to treat the flu, but they only make flu symptoms end about a day sooner. More treatment choices for the flu are needed, especially for those who become seriously ill. Researchers want to test a new drug, AVI-7100, that might keep a person who takes it from having a more serious case of the flu. Objectives: \- To see how healthy adult volunteers tolerate the AVI-7100 anti-influenza drug. Eligibility: \- Healthy volunteers of normal weight between 18 and 60 years of age. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. A heart function test will also be performed. * Participants will have either AVI-7100 or a placebo infusion. They will not know which infusion they have. . Participants will stay at the clinical center for a total of 8 hours after the infusion. Blood samples will be collected 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours after the end of the infusion * Participants will return on Days 1, 2, 4, 10, and 28 after receiving the drug. Blood and urine samples will be collected. A heart function test will also be performed. * There will be a second part of the study that is separate from the first one. Additional people will receive either AVI-7100 or placebo to test their reactions to a specific dose.
