A Phase I/II Study of ITU512 in Healthy Participants and Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Sickle Cell Disease
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT06546670
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary food effect of ITU512 as well as the fetal hemoglobin (HbF)-inducing capacity of ITU512. This will be the first evaluation of the potential therapeutic effect of ITU512 in healthy participants and patients with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Detailed Description

This is a global, randomized, Phase I/II study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary food effect of single-agent ITU512 in adult healthy participants, and safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and efficacy of ITU512 in adolescent and adult patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). The study consists of a first-in-human Phase I study (Part 1) in healthy participants, and a Phase II study (Part 2) in patients with SCD.

Part 1 will comprise of Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 1C. Part 2 may include an extension part.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part 1A, Part 1B, Part 1C: Incidence of AEs and SAEsUp to approximately 60 days

Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), including changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and laboratory values qualifying and reported as AEs.

Part 1A, Part 1B , Part 1C: Dose discontinued due to AEUp to 30 days

Number of participants with dose discontinuation due to AEs

Part 2: Incidence of AEs and SAEsUp to 5 months

Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), including changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and laboratory values qualifying and reported as AEs.

Part 2: Dose interruptions and reductionsUp to 4 months

Number of participants with dose interruptions or reductions of ITU512

Part 2: Dose intensityUp to 4 months

Dose intensity of ITU512 is computed as the ratio of actual cumulative dose received and actual duration of exposure

Part 2: HbF% evaluated from central laboratory assessments at Month 4Month 4

Assessment of fetal hemoglobin expression by measuring fetal hemoglobin (HbF)% by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
