简要总结

The goal of this study is to learn if a new medicine (called antiplatelet and anticoagulant [APAC]) can help the body to prevent blood clots and whether APAC is safe and well tolerated in patients with blocked or narrowed arteries in their legs (peripheral arterial occlusive disease [PAOD]), and in patients with severely restricted poor blood flow to the legs that threatens limb health (chronic limb-threatening ischemia [CTLI]). The study also aims to find the best dose of the medicine. The study consists of two parts: Part A will include patients with PAOD and CTLI, Part B will only include patients with CTLI who are having a procedure to restore blood flow in their legs. Both parts will be subdivided into two subgroups (A1 and A2, B1 and B2) which will test different APAC doses and compare single dosing to weekly dosing for 4 weeks. APAC is injected into the blood. The possible treatment response will be compared either to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug), or to the current standard treatment. Patients will participate in the study for up to 90 or 180 days. During this time, patients will be regularly examined and asked to answer questions concerning their quality of life.

详细描述

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease is a group of vascular disorders characterized by narrowing and occlusion of peripheral arteries, often resulting in gradual reduction of the blood supply to the limbs. The main pathogenic mechanism of PAOD stems from atherosclerosis, thrombo-inflammation and thrombosis (atherothrombosis). Patients with PAOD are at increased risk of major adverse limb events (MALE, defined as above ankle amputation of the index limb or major reintervention) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The most severe form of PAOD, CTLI, is characterized by severely decreased blood flow to the lower limbs.

This Phase 2a open-label study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and dosing regimen of the heparin proteoglycan mimetic APAC in patients with PAOD with moderate claudication (Fontaine stage IIa and IIb) and in patients with CLTI (Fontaine stage III and IV) undergoing endovascular revascularization.

The study consists of two parts (Part A and Part B), both with two subparts:

  • in Part A1, a single dose will be administered intravenously (i.v.),
  • in Part A2, weekly doses will be administered i.v. for 4 weeks,
  • in Part B1, a single dose will be administered intra-arterially (i.a) periprocedurally, and
  • in Part B2, the first dose will be administered i.a. periprocedurally, followed by weekly i.v. dosing for 4 weeks.

Part A will evaluate APAC in the PAOD/CLTI patient population. The primary objective is to evaluate safety and tolerability of i.v. APAC for single infusion (Part A1) and weekly dosing (Part A2). Secondary objectives include evaluation of the effects of APAC on the clinical status of PAOD, and assessment of pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and other blood coagulation parameters. In Part A1, patients are randomized (2:1) to APAC and control groups. In Part A2, patients are randomized (2:2:1) to two APAC dose levels and control. In Part A, safety and recommended dose(s) of APAC for Part B are studied. A Safety Review Committee (SRC) will evaluate the Part A1 and Part A2 data after all patients in a group have completed the Day 8 or Day 29 visit, respectively, and decide the use of reserve doses, and recommend the dose(s) for the Part B.
