- Registration Number
- NCT06401213
- Lead Sponsor
- Mediar Therapeutics
- Brief Summary
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of single and multiple ascending doses of MTX-463 administered in healthy adults.
- Detailed Description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of single and multiple ascending doses of MTX-463 administered in healthy adults.
SAD Portion
The SAD portion of the study will consist of 4 planned dosing cohorts each comprising 8 healthy participants. The starting dose will be 4 mg/kg (Cohort 1) with subsequent planned doses of 8 mg/kg (Cohort 2), 16 mg/kg (Cohort 3), and 30 mg/kg (Cohort 4). Planned doses may be adjusted in response to the data. Additional participants and/or additional dosing cohorts may be added as needed based on the data.
Within each cohort, participants will be randomly assigned to receive MTX-463 or matched placebo. The first 2 participants (sentinel participants) within each cohort will be randomized 1:1 to receive MTX-463 or placebo on Day 1. These participants will be monitored for 24 hours, and after review of the safety data from both participants and approval by the study Investigator and Sponsor's responsible medical officer (SRMO), the additional 6 participants will be randomized to study drug (n=5 MTX-463; n=1 placebo).
Each participant will undergo assessments at specified timepoints on Days 1 through 60. End-of-Study (EOS) procedures will be completed on Day 28 or upon early termination (ET). An End-of-Follow-up (EOF) assessment of PK and ADA will be completed on Day 60.
MAD Portion
The MAD portion of the study will consist of 3 planned dosing cohorts. Each cohort will comprise 8 healthy participants (n=6 MTX-463; n=2 placebo). The starting dose will be a 6.6 mg/kg loading dose and 4 mg/kg maintenance doses (Cohort 1) with subsequent planned doses of a 13 mg/kg loading dose and 8 mg/kg maintenance doses (Cohort 2), and a 27 mg/kg loading dose and 16 mg/kg maintenance doses (Cohort 3). Planned doses may be adjusted in response to the data. Additional participants and/or additional dosing cohorts may be added as needed based on the data.
On Day 1, participants will be randomized to receive either MTX-463 or matched placebo. The randomized participants will receive a single loading dose on Day 1 followed by 2 maintenance doses of study drug on Day 8 and Day 22. Participants will be housed inpatient from Day -1 through post-dose observation on Day 8 and from Day 21 through assessments on Day 29. All other visits will be conducted in the outpatient setting. Each participant will undergo assessments at specified timepoints on Days 1 through 82. End-of-study procedures will be completed on Day 50, or upon ET. An EOF assessment of PK and ADA will be completed on Day 82.
Safety and tolerability of MTX-463 will be reviewed through Day 29 by the study Investigator and SRMO to inform dose escalation decisions for the next dose cohort.
Additional cohorts for the SAD and MAD portions of the study may be added as needed to potentially explore lower doses.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of Treatment-Related Adverse Events in healthy volunteers Through Day 60 (SAD Cohort) or Day 82 (MAD Cohort) Clinical Safety Labs are collected, and Adverse Events are assessed in both inpatient and outpatient clinic visits
MTX-463 PK by dose will be evaluated for AUC0-tau (MAD only), as feasible Through Day 82 (MAD Cohort) Blood serum samples will be collected at protocol-specified timepoints throughout the study
MTX-463 PK by dose will be evaluated for Cmax, as feasible Through Day 60 (SAD Cohort) or Day 82 (MAD Cohort) Blood serum samples will be collected at protocol-specified timepoints throughout the study
Serum sample results will be summarized for presence of Anti-Drug Antibodies during the SAD and MAD portions of the study. Through Day 60 (SAD Cohort) or Day 82 (MAD Cohort) Blood serum samples will be collected at protocol-specified timepoints throughout the study to assess for the presence and titer (if applicable) of Anti-Drug Antibodies.

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Blood serum samples will be collected to determine the level of WISP1 engagement of MTX-463 in healthy adult participants Through Day 60 (SAD Cohort) or Day 82 (MAD Cohort) These assessments will be summarized as:
* Change from Baseline in total WISP1 levels
* Change from Baseline in free WISP1 levelsTo assess the effect of baseline body mass index (BMI) on total and free WISP1 levels Through Day 60 (SAD Cohort) or Day 82 (MAD Cohort) Baseline levels and change from Baseline of the total and free WISP1 levels will be compared in those with BMIs ≥30 kg/m2 to those with BMIs \<30 kg/m2.
