简要总结
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, four-arm, double-blind study. Subjects will be randomized (1:1:1:1) to receive either a daily oral placebo solution or a daily oral dose of 0.5 mg, 2.5 mg or 5.0 mg Foralumab Solution for 30 consecutive days. Subjects will record adverse events and daily administration of study medication in a subject diary. This will serve as a measure of compliance and record of safety and tolerability. Subjects will be followed up for 30 days following completion of treatment.
Study visits performed on Days 14, 30 and 60 of the study, will monitor metabolic parameters (body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference), serum lipid profiles, immunological markers (c-reactive protein [CRP] and an array of cytokines), hepatic enzymes and functions (13C-methacetin breath test [MBT]) and liver steatosis/fibrosis, which will be compared to baseline levels (Day 1).
The safety and tolerability of the treatment regimen will be determined by monitoring vital signs, laboratory values, adverse events and physical findings throughout the study. In addition, its efficacy will be established upon either reduced Day 30 serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, reduced hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) or improved homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) or HOMA of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) scores as compared to baseline (Day 1). In addition, to assess the efficacy of the tested Foralumab Solution regimen in improving overall subject status, a battery of exploratory metabolic, immunologic and hepatic markers will be evaluated on Days 30 and 60.

A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase IIa study for assessment of the safety of Foralumab, an oral anti-CD3 antibody, in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Primary: To assess the safety and tolerability of the tested Foralumab Solution regimen in subjects with both T2DM and NASH/NAFLD Secondary: To assess the efficacy of the tested Foralumab Solution regimen in improving serum ALT levels, HbA1c, HOMA or HOMA-IR scores in subjects with both T2DM and NASH/NAFLD.
