Adult Healthy Volunteers Study to Evaluate ALPN-101 Safety

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of ALPN-101 in Adult Healthy Volunteers

This study is testing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK--the amount of study drug in the blood), pharmacodynamics (PD), how the study drug affects the body) and immunogenicity (how the study drug affects the immune system) of single and multiple doses and dose levels of an investigational drug called ALPN-101.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy Volunteers
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: ALPN-101; Drug: Placebo

Detailed Description

AIS-A01 is a phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study in healthy volunteers. It will be conducted at a single center and will enroll approximately 104 participants. The study will have 2 parts:

• In Part A, participants will receive a single dose of study drug or placebo. Multiple dose levels of ALPN-101 will be evaluated.
• In Part B, participants will receive 4 doses of ALPN-101 or placebo--1 dose each week for 4 weeks. Multiple dose levels of ALPN-101 will be evaluated.

In each Part, safety assessments will be performed throughout the dosing and follow-up periods, and multiple PK and PD samples will be collected.

• Study Type: Interventional

22. Any clinically significant (at the discretion of the Investigator) abnormalities in laboratory test results, including complete blood count, chemistry panels and urinalysis. If out of range at the Screening Visit and/or admission to the CRU and deemed clinically significant by investigator, the tests may be repeated once on a separate day.
23. Estimated creatinine CL < 90 mL/minute at the Screening Visit
24. Positive test at the Screening Visit and/or at baseline for drugs of abuse (e.g., phencyclidine, opiates, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, amphetamines, methamphetamines, cocaine and THC). The repeat test is permitted once for a suspected false positive test.
25. Positive alcohol breath test at the Screening Visit and/or at baseline.
26. Positive result on tests for HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 antibody, anti-hepatitis B virus antibodies (core antibody [HBcAb], surface antigen [HBsAg]) or anti-hepatitis C virus antibody.
27. Positive serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit or admission to the CRU. Infection-related Exclusions.
28. Acute infection including viral infections in the preceding 6 weeks

29. History or presence of any chronic infectious condition, including but not limited to tuberculosis or parasitic infections. Evidence of tuberculosis may include either a positive tuberculosis blood test (by a positive QuantiFERON® TB-Gold test or a positive tuberculin skin test) or chest X-ray radiographic findings consistent with active or latent tuberculosis.

Pharmacokinetics of ALPN-101 as assessed by the maximum concentration of ALPN-101.	Plasma levels of ALPN-101 will be serially evaluated following dosing of study drug, and the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) will be calculated.

Pharmacokinetics of ALPN-101 as assessed by AUC on all subjects.	Plasma levels of ALPN-101 will be serially evaluated following dosing of study drug, and the area under the curve (AUC) will be calculated.	From study Day 1 (dosing of ALPN-101 or placebo) until the End of Study visit (approx. 4 weeks for Part A of the study, and approx 6 weeks for Part B)
The incidence of ADA against ALPN-101 will be assessed and summarized.	The incidence of ADA against ALPN-101 will be assessed by the percentage of patients with a positive ADA result of all the treated patients.
