SS109 and NovoSeven ® PK / PD Profile, and Preliminary Efficacy and Safety of SS109 on Demand Treatment

An Open-label and Multicenter Phase Ib/II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Immunogenicity, PK/PD Profile of SS109 and NovoSeven® Following a Single Dose, and the Preliminary Efficacy and Safety of SS109 During On-demand Treatment in Hemophilia Patients With Coagulation Factor VIII or IX Inhibitors

This is an open-label, multicenter Phase 1Ib/2II clinical trial of SS109 in adult hemophilia patients (≥ 18 years) with FVIII or FIX inhibitors to evaluate the PK/PD profile of SS109 and NovoSeven® after a single dose in adult hemophilia patients with FVIII or FIX inhibitors, to assess the preliminary efficacy and PK profile of SS109 during on-demand treatment, and to observe the safety and immunogenicity of SS109 throughout the study.

The trial consists of three periods: screening period, PK study period, and on-demand treatment period.

In the PK study period, subjects are divided into 2 cohorts (90 μg/kg and 270 μg/kg), which are sequentially conducted. Cohort 1 (90 μg/kg) enrollment is performed firstly, and Cohort 2 (270 μg/kg) enrollment is performed after Cohort 1 enrollment is completed. Subjects enter the PK study period as non-randomized. All screened eligible subjects will receive a single dose of comparator NovoSeven® in the absence of significant active hemorrhage, followed by PK/PD sample collection; then receive a single dose of the same dose of investigational drug SS109, followed by PK/PD sample collection. Specific times for PK/PD sample collection are listed in the schedule for biological sample collection.

After completion of the PK study period, subjects will enter a 90-day on-demand treatment period and will be randomized into 3 groups (Group 1: 90 µg/kg, Group 2: 180 µg/kg, and Group 3: 270 µg/kg) at a ratio of 1:1:1. During on-demand treatment, subjects are treated on-demand with SS109 at the time of a new hemorrhage event and their efficacy is observed. The investigator will judge the severity of subject's hemorrhage according to the type, location, clinical symptoms and signs of the subject's hemorrhage. Appropriate hemostatic treatment regimens and whether or not to perform the first SS109 on-demand treatment for the hemorrhage event at home may be developed by the investigator based on the subject's on-demand treatment group, according to the severity of hemorrhage and the recommended dosing frequency of SS109 (see Dosage/Regimen), and the dosing interval may be adjusted in conjunction with the subject's response to treatment. If the subject's last hemostatic treatment is administered within one week before the D96 visit point during the on-demand treatment period, the subject is required to continue follow-up observation for one week after the last dose before completing the end of study visit. PK/PD samples will be collected as appropriate during on-demand treatment, as specified in the schedule for biological sample collection.Observe subject safety throughout the study.
