A Phase IIa, Prospective, Randomized, Blinded, Intra-Subject Controlled, Single Dose, Dose Escalation Study of Antizol® for Mitigation of Acetaldehyde Related Toxicity in Human Subjects With Symptoms of Inborn Altered Ethanol Metabolism With Concomitant Ethanol Exposure
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Antizol, Placebo, and 1 other intervention for Aldehyde Dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) Deficiency. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This trial will evaluate if fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole) can treat symptoms associated with alcohol intolerance due to aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) deficiency, an inherited metabolic disorder. These symptoms include flushing, nausea, headache, shortness of breath and dizziness, resulting from exposure to acetaldehyde, the primary metabolite of ethanol. Long-term, serious health risks have been associated with repeated exposure to acetaldehyde, a carcinogen, among ALDH2-deficient individuals.
