A Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of BCX17725

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Netherton Syndrome
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT06539507
Lead Sponsor
BioCryst Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/1b, 4-part study that includes the evaluation of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of BCX17725 when administered via single and multiple doses in healthy adult participants (Parts 1 and 2), and multiple doses in adult participants with Netherton syndrome (Part 3). In Part 4, the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of BCX17725 when administered via multiple IV and/or SC doses through 12 weeks will be evaluated in adult and adolescent participants with Netherton syndrome.

Detailed Description

Parts 1 and 2 are randomized, placebo-controlled, single-ascending-dose (SAD) and multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) study parts, respectively, in healthy participants. Part 3 will evaluate multiple dose administrations in participants with Netherton syndrome in an open-label design. Part 4 will evaluate multiple administrations of BCX17725 in participants with Netherton syndrome in an open-label study design over 12 weeks, with an 8-week post-treatment follow-up period.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)From screening through EOS (ie, through Day 78 in Parts 1 and 3, and Day 106 in Part 2)

Incidence of TEAEs as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) from screening through end-of-study (EOS) in each study part

Change from baseline in Ichthyosis Area and Severity Index (IASI) score at Week 12 (Part 4)From baseline to Week 12

IASI measures the severity of erythema (IASI-E) and scaling (IASI-S); the maximum sub-scores for the IASI-E and IASI-S being 24, and the maximum total IASI score being 48. Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax)Up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)

Cmax of BCX17725

Time to maximum observed serum concentration (Tmax)Up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)

Time to Cmax of BCX17725

Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to the time of last measurable concentration (AUC0-t)Up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)

AUC0-t of BCX17725

Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2)Up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)

Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of BCX17725

Number of participants who are anti-drug antibody (ADA)-positive (baseline and post-baseline) and number of participants who have treatment-emergent ADAsDay 1 pre-dose and up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)

Incidence of ADAs to BCX17725

Change from baseline in Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score at Week 12 (Part 4)From baseline to Week 12

IGA assesses the overall severity of a participant's NS skin disease based on a 5-point scale (0, clear; 1, almost clear; 2, mild; 3, moderate; and 4, severe). Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome.

Change from baseline in Worst Itch Numerical Rating Score (NRS) at Week 12 (Part 4)From baseline to Week 12

Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is a self-rated, single-item scale designed for assessing the worst itch in the past 7 days. The scale uses an 11-point NRS, scored from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst possible itch). Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome.

Incidence of TEAEs (Part 4)From baseline through Week 20
