A First-in-Human Study Evaluating AGA2118 in Men and Postmenopausal Women

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Absolute Bioavailability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of AGA2118 in Men and Postmenopausal Women

The primary objectives of the study are to assess the safety and tolerability of AGA2118 after single subcutaneous or intravenous administration in healthy men and postmenopausal women and to assess the safety and tolerability of AGA2118 after multiple subcutaneous administrations in men and postmenopausal women.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Osteoporosis
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: AGA2118; Drug: Placebo

Detailed Description

This is a Phase I, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Absolute Bioavailability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of AGA2118 in Men and Postmenopausal Women.

The study consists of the single ascending dose (SAD) part and the multiple ascending dose (MAD) part. In the SAD part, up to 56 healthy men and postmenopausal women will be sequentially enrolled to receive a single subcutaneous (SC) dose of AGA2118 or a single intravenous (IV) dose of AGA2118 or placebo. In the MAD part, up to 32 healthy men and postmenopausal women will be sequentially enrolled in various dose cohorts to receive multiple SC doses every 4 weeks of AGA2118 or placebo.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Placebo; In SAD part, a single dose of placebo comparator will be used for each cohort of either SC or IV administration. In MAD part, multiple doses of placebo comparator will be used for each cohort of SC administration.	Drug: Placebo; Part 1 - SAD study: SAD participants in various cohorts will receive a single dose of placebo via either SC or IV. Part 2 - MAD study: MAD participants in various cohorts will receive multiple doses of placebo via SC.
Experimental: AGA2118; In SAD part, various single doses of AGA2118 will be administered to the participants via either SC injection or IV infusion. The starting dose was 0.3 mg/kg, with sequential escalation up to 15 mg/kg. In MAD part, various multiple doses of AGA2118 will be administered every four weeks (Q4W) to the participants via SC injection for 12 weeks. The starting dose was 1 mg/kg, with sequential escalation up to 12 mg/kg.	Drug: AGA2118; Part 1 - SAD study: SAD participants in various cohorts will receive various single dose of AGA2118 via either SC or IV. Part 2 - MAD study: MAD participants in various cohorts will receive various multiple doses of AGA2118 Q4W via SC.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) in Part 1 (SAD).	An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of investigational product (IP), whether or not considered related to the IP. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of IP.	Up to 85 days
Number of participants with clinically significant changes in blood pressure in Part 1 (SAD).	Systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured (mmHg) at all clinic visits (Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85).	Up to 85 days

Number of participants with clinically significant changes in QTcF in Part 1 (SAD).	QTcF (QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula) measured by electrocardiogram (ECG) on Day 1, 2, 4, 6, 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85.	Up to 85 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of AGA2118	Maximum concentration of AGA2118 after dosing.	Part 1 (SAD): up to day 85; Part 2 (MAD) up to day 169
Time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of AGA2118	Time to maximum concentration of AGA2118 after dosing.	Part 1 (SAD): up to day 85; Part 2 (MAD) up to day 169
