CTX-187 first-in-human test in healthy people and people with chronic bronchiectasis and Pseudomonas infection
Official title: A Phase 1 First-In-Human, Double-Blind, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of Intravenous Doses of CTX-187 in Healthy Volunteers Followed by Multiple Doses in Patients With a Bacterial Infection
Run by Centauri Therapeutics Limited · NCT07708116 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests CTX-187 to see if it is safe and tolerable when given as IV infusions to healthy adults and adults with chronic bronchiectasis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy adults 18–65 (parts A and B) or adults 18–75 with a confirmed bronchiectasis diagnosis and documented P. aeruginosa infection within the past year (part C).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without chronic bronchiectasis, without P. aeruginosa infection, or unable to meet health and safety criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1 interventional trial evaluating single and multiple ascending intravenous doses of CTX-187. The study includes two parts with healthy adults and a third part focusing on adults with bronchiectasis who have chronic P. aeruginosa infection. Participants will receive either CTX-187 or placebo and will be monitored for safety, tolerability, and preliminary pharmacokinetics. The trial aims to identify safe dosing ranges and collect initial safety signals in both healthy volunteers and patients. Domestic and international trial results will guide future development in bacterial infections linked to bronchiectasis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If CTX-187 is safe and well tolerated, it may lead to future dosing strategies and potential treatments for bronchiectasis patients with P. aeruginosa infection.
How similar studies have gone: Prior early-phase studies of similar biologics have shown safety signals in healthy volunteers and infection-associated populations, but this exact molecule is first-in-human.

Inclusion Criteria 1. Parts A and B: Healthy adult males and/or females, 18 to 65 years of age. 2. Parts A and B: Body mass index (BMI): ≥18.0 and ≤32.0 kg/m\^2 and weight \>50 kg. 3. Parts A and B: Good physical and mental health without clinically significant abnormalities. 4. Part C: Adult males and/or females, 18 to 75 years of age. 5. Part C: Prior clinical and computerized tomography diagnosis of bronchiectasis. 6. Part C: P. aeruginosa in sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage or another airway sample at least once in the 12 months prior to screening and P. aeruginosa in sputum during screening, both of which should be at least 21 days apart. 7. Part C: Otherwise in good physical and mental health without clinically significant abnormalities. Exclusion Criteria 1. Parts A and B: Previous participation in the current trial. 2. Parts A and B: History or presence of significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, haematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, or neurological disease, including any acute illness or surgery within the past 3 months determined by the Investigator to be clinically relevant. 3. Parts A and B: Participation in a drug trial within the previous 30 days before the first dose of trial drug or 5x elimination half-life, if known, whichever is longer. 4. Part C: Known hypersensitivity to any reagents contained in CTX-187 or documented hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis to any medication. 5. Parts A, B and C: Known clinical diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, active allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or active tuberculosis or nontuberculous mycobacterial infection; primary diagnosis of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 6. Part C: Treatment with long term inhaled, systemic or nebulized anti-pseudomonal antibiotics which are newly initiated within the previous 3 months prior to screening. 7. Part C: Receipt of anti-pseudomonal antibiotics for an exacerbation during the screening period. 8. Part C: History or presence of unstable co-morbidities: cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, haematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, or neurological disease, including any acute illness or surgery within the past 3 months determined by the Investigator to be clinically relevant. Participants on stable doses of anti-hypertensive medications or statins may be included following discussion between the Investigator and the medical monitor. 9. Part C: History of known or suspected Clostridioides difficile infection or diarrhoea within one week of recruitment, not resolved during the past 5 days. 10. Part C: Participants with an acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis.
