- Brief Summary
This is a Phase Ib clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of AK101 in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
- Detailed Description
This is a phase Ib, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation, two-phase study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AK101 in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. The study consists of two parts. Part 1 is single-ascending-dose induction phase study, and Part 2 is a multiple subcutaneous maintenance therapy study followed by a single-dose induction treatment.

Group Intervention Description Part 1 :Placebo Placebo Subjects will be received matching placebo intravenously or subcutaneously on Day1. Part 2:AK101-AK101 low-dose SC every 8 weeks AK101 SC Subjects received single IV infusion of AK101 on Day1 will be randomized to receive low-dose AK101 subcutaneously every 8 weeks along with matching placebo subcutaneously (to maintain the blind). Part 2: Placebo-AK101 low-dose SC every 8 weeks AK101 IV/AK101 SC Subjects received placebo on Day1 will receive a single IV infusion of AK101 at Week8 along with matching subcutaneous placebo (to maintain the blind). And subjects will be randomized at Week8 to receive low-dose AK101 subcutaneously every 8 weeks along with matching placebo subcutaneously (to maintain the blind). Part 1 : AK101 IV AK101 IV Subjects will be enrolled in sequential cohorts treated with successively higher doses of AK101 via intravenous injection on Day1. Part 1 : AK101 SC AK101 SC Subjects will be enrolled in sequential cohorts treated with successively higher doses of AK101 via subcutaneous injection on Day1. Part 2:Placebo-AK101 high-dose SC every 8 weeks AK101 IV/AK101 SC Subjects received placebo on Day1 will receive a single IV infusion of AK101 at Week8 along with matching subcutaneous placebo (to maintain the blind). And subjects will be randomized at Week8 to receive high-dose AK101 subcutaneously every 8 weeks. Part 2: AK101-AK101 high-dose SC every 8 weeks AK101 SC Subjects received single IV infusion of AK101 on Day1 will be randomized at Week8 to receive high-dose AK101 subcutaneously every 8 weeks.

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Proportion of subjects with clinical response at Week8(per Adapted Mayo Score without physician's global assessment). At week 8 Clinical response(per Adapted Mayo Score) was defined as a decrease from induction baseline in the adapted Mayo score by≥30 percent (%) and ≥ 2 points, with either a decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore ≥1 or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. Adapted Mayo Score consists of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding and endoscopy findings), rated as 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). Total score was calculated as the sum of 3 subscores and values range from 0 to 9 scores.
Proportion of subjects with clinical response at Week8(per the Mayo score). At week 8 Clinical response(per the Mayo Score) was defined as a decrease from induction baseline in the Mayo score by ≥30 percent (%) and ≥ 3 points, with either a decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore ≥1 or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. The Mayo Score consists of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy findings, and physician's global assessment), rated as 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). Total score was calculated as the sum of 4 subscores and values range from 0 to 12 scores.
Immunogenicity index Baseline till last follow-up visit (Up to Week 12 or Week36) Number and percentage of subjects with detectable anti-AK101 antibody (ADA).
