Conduct of Phase III Studies for Inhaled Products for the Generics Industry both in North America and in India

Inflamax Research specializes in the conduct of Phase III clinical studies for respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. We have been awarded two large, Phase III clinical endpoint studies in patients with asthma. Particularly, we have experience in helping clients who are developing generic inhaled products realize approvals based on the required clinical studies. These can be for identical generic products or for those products which take a 505B2 type approach for the FDA. Inflamax is also working currently with our Sponsors to perform the complete clinical programs required for generic inhaled products and conducting the Pilot studies > Pivotal PK Studies > Clinical Equivalence/PD Studies. This can streamline the outcomes for the study program for inhaled products.

We have worked with our clients to gain time and cost efficiencies by working across the Cliantha globally to conduct such large inhaled trials in both North America and India. This also has advantages of satisfying the regulators requirements to have multiple jurisdictions but also to include North America. India unlike the US, has a high degree of respiratory disease in which patients are treatment naïve and for which recruitment can be facilitated. Inflamax will be talking about this approach at a Cliantha Respiratory Symposium in Mumbai, 17th November, 2018 entitled, “Respiratory Research: Insights into the Clinical Development of Respiratory Drugs”. Please contact Ms. Geetu on gbulchandani@cliantha.com for more information on these topics or on the Cliantha Respiratory Symposium.

Conduct of Phase II and Phase III Allergic Conjunctivitis Studies in the Environmental Exposure Chamber

Inflamax Research will utilize the EEC technology to study a novel New Chemical Entity (NCE) in Subjects with Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis using the Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC) for a US-based sponsor. FDA is open to utilization of the EEC towards Phase II and Phase III studies in allergic conjunctivitis. The EEC brings together the best approach of a controlled allergen exposure that is less variable than traditional field trials and more naturalistic than the high dose direct instillation conjunctival allergen challenge. This double-masked, vehicle-controlled, randomized, three-way crossover clinical trial allows for the testing of two concentrations of the test product versus vehicle in subjects with ragweed-induced allergic conjunctivitis in the EEC.

The EEC clinical research facility is a room designed with the capacity and control mechanisms to expose participants to airborne ragweed pollen grains and maintains target temperature and relative humidity throughout. The controlled exposure to allergen in the EEC takes away the variability seen in field trials that are often the reason for failed trials such as failure of environmental pollen release due climate change and other environmental factors. At the same time, the environmental exposure chamber is more naturalistic than the direct instillation conjunctival allergen challenge which may be a high level of allergen exposure that may make efficacy of ocular preparations on ocular hyperaemia and itching difficult to discern. This may particularly helpful for new drugs that work locally by unique mechanisms.

First-in-Human (FIH) Studies in Biologics

Inflamax has been awarded a FIH study to study a novel allergen immunotherapy. This combines Inflamax’s unique expertise in allergy as well as to conduct Phase 1 FIH studies. Inflamax Research has conducted many studies in ragweed allergy and has been successful in meeting recruitment targets in Phase I-IV ragweed allergy studies. This study will have primary endpoint of safety and will include some efficacy assessment towards insight into effectiveness of treatment and mechanism of action. This study, a FIH Study, will be for our European client to study an innovative product to help with ragweed allergy. Inflamax’s extensive database, social media recruiting expertise and experience working with the allergy community will make this possible. In this way, Inflamax can also work with our Sponsors in key therapeutic areas to provide full development from Phase I through to Phase III study services.

Launched a Novel Environmental study for e-Cigarettes

Inflamax is performing a unique Environmental Exposure Chamber single center study in our Environmental Exposure Chambers to evaluate selected constituents in the environment from the use of e-vapor products compared to conventional cigarettes studied under different environmental conditions of residential, office and hospitality environmental conditions. Inflamax is using its well-recognized clinical facility that controls and mimics various environments for the study of disease and environmental studies for studying these types of products for clients who seek to understand how these products perform in various environmental conditions. This data will support new marketing claims for mainstay marketed products, but also for over the counter (OTC) markets and those products still in the R & D phase. Inflamax has expertise in environmental studies for the tobacco and e-cigarette fields as shown in our publication entitled Determination of Selected Chemical Levels in Room Air and on Surfaces after the Use of Cartridgeand Tank-Based E-Vapor Products or Conventional Cigarettes in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (Int.
