TB-500 (Thymosin Beta 4 17-23 Fragment) for Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Stable ASCVD
A Phase 1/2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Sequential Dose-Escalation Study of TB-500 (Thymosin Beta 4 17-23 Fragment) in Adults With Stable Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Exploratory Cardiovascular Biomarkers

Conditions
Summary
This fictional study is an example of a ClinicalTrials.gov-style record. It describes a Phase 1/2 trial evaluating the safety and tolerability of TB-500 (a 17-23 fragment of thymosin beta 4) versus placebo in adults with stable atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Exploratory endpoints assess vascular function and inflammation biomarkers
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Age 40-75 years, able to provide written informed consent.
- Documented stable ASCVD (e.g., prior myocardial infarction \>6 months ago, prior coronary revascularization, stable angina with objective evidence of ischemia, or symptomatic peripheral artery disease).
- On stable guideline-directed medical therapy (e.g., statin and antiplatelet therapy unless contraindicated) for at least 8 weeks before screening.
- Resting systolic blood pressure \<160 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure \<100 mmHg (with or without therapy).
- Able and willing to comply with study visits and procedures.
Exclusion Criteria10
- Acute coronary syndrome, stroke/transient ischemic attack, or coronary revascularization within 6 months before screening.
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction \<35%.
- Clinically significant arrhythmia requiring recent hospitalization or unstable antiarrhythmic therapy.
- Severe renal impairment (eGFR \<30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2) or end-stage renal disease.
- Clinically significant hepatic impairment (e.g., Child-Pugh class B/C) or ALT/AST \>3x upper limit of normal at screening.
- Active malignancy requiring systemic therapy (except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer) within the past 2 years.
- Known autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression, or use of chronic systemic corticosteroids above physiologic replacement.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding, or unwilling to use effective contraception during the study (if of childbearing potential).
- Known hypersensitivity to peptide therapeutics or study formulation components.
- Participation in another interventional clinical study or receipt of an investigational product within 30 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) prior to screening.
