Brief Summary
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability and activity of the anti-human CCL24 monoclonal antibody CM-101 in adult subjects with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). At least 68 subjects at approximately 50 sites will be randomized to receive either CM-101 at doses of 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg or matching placebo.
Brief Title
CM-101 in PSC Patients -The SPRING Study
Detailed Description
This study will consist of a screening period, double-blind (DB) treatment period, open-label (OL) treatment period, and safety follow-up period. During the DB treatment period, subjects will receive 5 total dose administrations of study drug (investigational product - IP or placebo) once every 3 weeks (Q3W) for a coverage of 15 weeks. After completing the DB treatment period, subjects may elect to enroll in an OL treatment period. In the OL treatment period, subjects will receive a dose of IP Q3W for 11 administrations for a coverage of 33 weeks, resulting in a combined total coverage of up to 48 weeks.
Subjects who do not elect to continue treatment in the OL dosing period will undergo an End of Treatment (EOT)-DB visit at Week 15 (Day 105), a Safety Follow-up Call at Week 21 (Day 147), and an End of Study (EOS) visit at Week 27. Eligible subjects who continue treatment in the OL treatment period will receive CM-101 at either a 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg dose commencing at Week 15 (OL Treatment 1), and the subjects will undergo an EOT-OL visit at Week 48 (Day 336), a Safety Follow-up Call at Week 54 (Day 378), and an EOS visit at Week 60 (Day 420).
Subjects who do not elect to continue treatment in the OL dosing period will undergo an End of Treatment (EOT)-DB visit at Week 15 (Day 105), a Safety Follow-up Call at Week 21 (Day 147), and an End of Study (EOS) visit at Week 27. Eligible subjects who continue treatment in the OL treatment period will receive CM-101 at either a 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg dose commencing at Week 15 (OL Treatment 1), and the subjects will undergo an EOT-OL visit at Week 48 (Day 336), a Safety Follow-up Call at Week 54 (Day 378), and an EOS visit at Week 60 (Day 420).
