Trial to Assess the Efficacy of F598 in Preventing an Experimental Urethral Infection With N. Gonorrhoeae in Healthy Males

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2018-03-02

Summary

Approximately 24 healthy male volunteers between the ages of 18 and 35 years will be enrolled at a single center for a duration of two months for each subject. Subjects who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized to one of four open-label groups: Control (no treatment) or treatment with F598 at one of three doses. Following F598 administration or assignment to the Control group, subjects must return to the study site for inoculation with N. gonorrhoeae within 2 weeks. Once subjects have been inoculated with N. gonorrhoeae, they will enter the observation phase and will return to the study site daily for up to 5 days. At the end of the observation phase, definitive antibiotic therapy will be administered. A follow-up visit will be conducted 3-5 days after definitive antibiotic and a confirmatory interaction will occur with the subjects 7-10 days after the follow-up to confirm the subject's response. A final visit will occur approximately 8 weeks after inoculation.
