Study of XP-8121 For the Treatment of Adult Subjects With Hypothyroidism

July 2, 2025 updated by: Xeris Pharmaceuticals

A Phase 2, Multicenter, Non-Randomized, Open-Label, Single Arm, Self-controlled Study of XP-8121 For the Treatment of Adult Subjects With Hypothyroidism

This is a non-randomized, open-label, single arm, self-controlled study of XP-8121 (levothyroxine sodium) to determine a target dose conversion factor from stably dosed oral levothyroxine to XP-8121 (levothyroxine sodium) in patients with hypothyroidism and to assess the safety and tolerability of XP-8121(levothyroxine sodium) after once weekly subcutaneous injections. This study includes the following periods: Screening, Titration Period, and Maintenance Period. The study will conclude with an End of Maintenance Visit or Early Termination (ET) Visit.

Detailed Description

This is a non-randomized, open-label, single arm, self-controlled study of XP-8121 (levothyroxine sodium) to determine a target dose conversion factor from stably dosed oral levothyroxine to XP-8121 (levothyroxine sodium) in patients with hypothyroidism and to assess the safety and tolerability of XP-8121 (levothyroxine sodium) after once weekly subcutaneous injections. This study includes the following periods: Screening, Titration Period (2 to 8 weeks), and Maintenance Period (4 weeks). A pharmacokinetic substudy will be conducted for a subset of participants during the Maintenance Period. The study will conclude with an End of Maintenance Visit or Early Termination (ET) Visit.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) within the normal range at Screening (central laboratory) and at least 3 months prior to Screening (documented by local laboratory).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Dose Conversion Factor
Time Frame: Day 29 of the Maintenance Period
Geometric mean ratio of the weekly dose of XP-8121 to the daily dose of oral levothyroxine (aka dose conversion factor), where the XP-8121 dose corresponds to the administration immediately preceding collection of blood TSH used to determine normalization at the end of Maintenance Period. The dose conversion factor was assessed by comparing the natural log-transformed final XP-8121 dose in μg that maintained normalized TSH throughout the Maintenance Period to the natural log-transformed daily oral levothyroxine dose the participant was taking before the study, using a linear mixed effects model with treatment as the fixed effect and subject as the random effect. Geometric least square means (LSMs) were calculated by exponentiating the LSM from the ANOVA. The geometric mean ratio and the corresponding 90% CI was found by exponentiating the differences of log-transformed LSM and 90% confidence interval (CI) of the difference.
Day 29 of the Maintenance Period
Tolerability Assessment: Modified Draize Scale - Erythema
Time Frame: Week 1 Dosing in Titration Period through Day 22 Dosing in Maintenance Period
The Modified Draize Scale assessment of erythema and edema was conducted 30 (+/-5) minutes after each dosing. The Modified Draize Scale is a 5-point scale: 0-none, 1-very slight, 2-slight, 3-moderate, 4-severe.
Week 1 Dosing in Titration Period through Day 22 Dosing in Maintenance Period
Tolerability Assessment: Modified Draize Scale - Edema
Time Frame: Week 1 Dosing in Titration Period through Day 22 Dosing in Maintenance Period
The Modified Draize Scale assessment of erythema and edema was conducted 30 (+/-5) minutes after each dosing. The Modified Draize Scale is a 5-point scale: 0-none, 1-very slight, 2-slight, 3-moderate, 4-severe.
Week 1 Dosing in Titration Period through Day 22 Dosing in Maintenance Period
Tolerability Assessments: Injection Site Discomfort Evaluation
Time Frame: Week 1 dosing in the Titration Period through Day 22 dosing in the Maintenance Period
Injection site discomfort was assessed by each participant at 10 (+/-2) minutes post-injection.
Week 1 dosing in the Titration Period through Day 22 dosing in the Maintenance Period

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Time Frame: Day 29 of the Maintenance Period
Proportion of participants enrolled with normalized TSH throughout the Maintenance Period
