An Intravenous Infusion Study of rHIgM22 in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis (M22)

A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Intravenous Infusion Study of Recombinant Human Immunoglobulin M (rHIgM22) in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

This is a Phase I, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of single intravenous (IV) administrations of rHIgM22 in patients with all clinical presentations of MS.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Able to give written informed consent, with adequate cognitive function to sign the IRBapproved informed consent
• Meet diagnostic criteria for MS, as defined by revised (2010) McDonald criteria
• Man or woman aged 18 to 70 years, inclusive
• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and
• Women of childbearing potential and engaged in heterosexual relations must agree to practice adequate contraception for at least 60 days after study dosing. Women of childbearing potential and not engaged in heterosexual relations or not practicing adequate contraception must agree to remain abstinent for at least 60 days after study dosing practice adequate contraception for the duration of the study
• Agree to remain in the hospital for the 48 hour post infusion observation period, and can be contacted in case of an emergency once discharged

Exclusion Criteria:

• Serum creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or alkaline phosphatase ≥1.5 times the upper limit of normal
• Angina, uncontrolled hypertension, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation), any other clinically significant cardiovascular abnormality or clinically significant abnormal ECG
• Immune-mediated disorder other than MS that in the Investigator's judgment, may affect the interpretation of results or the patient's ability to safely complete the study
• Any clinically significant cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, allergic or anaphylactic reasons, or other major diseases (other than MS), that in the Investigator's judgment, may affect the interpretation of results or patient's ability to safely complete the study. This includes a suicide attempt within the past 1 year or severe suicidal ideation within the past 6 months or patients who in the opinion of the Investigator are at significant risk of suicidal behavior

• Initiation of interferon-beta 1b (Betaseron,a extavia), interferon beta-1a (Avonex, a Rebif a), glatiramer acetate (copaxone), natalizumab (Tysabri), or fingolimod (Gilenya), or dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera ®) within the 90 days prior to the Screening Visit, or any change in the dosing regimen of these drugs within the 30 days prior to the Screening Visit. Initiation of teriflunomide (AUBAGIO®) or any change in the dosing regimen of this drug within 90 days prior to the Screening Visit.
• Treatment with any of the following medications within the 12 months prior to Day 1 of the study: daclizumab, azathioprine, methotrexate, IV immunoglobulin, plasmaphoresis, or mycophenolate mofetil; or discontinuation of teriflunomide (AUBAGIO®) within 12 months prior to Day 1.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: rHIgM22; Cohorts 1-5: In each dosing cohort, the first 2 eligible patients will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to receive rHIgM22 or placebo, and monitored for safety for a minimum of 7 days before the remaining 8 patients in the cohort are randomized (7 active: 1 placebo) and dosed. Expanded Cohort: Upon establishment of a Maximally Tolerated Dose (MTD), a new group of 21 patients will be enrolled in an Expansion Cohort. Randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment groups: placebo, Investigational Product (IP) at MTD, or IP at one full dose level lower than MTD.

Drug: rHIgM22; Administered via IV infusion; Other Names: M22

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of the human monoclonal rHIgM22 in patients with MS.	Monitoring of adverse events (AEs) will be conducted throughout the study. Adverse events, including serious adverse events will be recorded in the case report forms (CRFs).	90 Days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Measure the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single ascending doses of rHIgM22	PK parameters will include; The maximum measured plasma concentration (Cmax), time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax), half-life (T1/2), and the area under the concentration curve from time 0 to the concentration at last time point (AUC (0-last)).	Day 1 through Day 180
Measure the pharmacodynamics of single ascending doses of rHIgM22 using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)		Day 1 through Day 180
