Healthy Volunteers
Type 1 Diabetes
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT06324604
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

First in human study to understand the potential side effects of MTX-101, how long MTX-101 lasts in the human body, and how MTX-101 affects specific human immune cells.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MTX-101 in healthy adults (HA) and participants with celiac disease (CeD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study will enroll HAs only in Part A and CeD and T1D patients only in Part B.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Adults, age ≥ 18 and ≤ 65 years at the time of anticipated dosing (Day 1).

Exclusion Criteria
  • Clinically significant findings in physical examination (PE), vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature), electrocardiogram (ECG), and safety laboratory parameters at Screening in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Renal function calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equation with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 or abnormal level of proteinuria detected by dipstick at the time of Screening.
  • Any disease or condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might significantly compromise the cardiovascular, hematological, renal, hepatic, pulmonary (including chronic asthma), endocrine (e.g., diabetes), central nervous, or gastrointestinal (including an ulcer) systems.
  • Receipt of an investigational drug within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of the investigational drug(s) prior to Day 1.
  • Positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 or 2, hepatitis (Hep) B surface antigen, or Hep C.
  • Positive test results for drug screen, including alcohol, at the time of Screening or on Day 1 prior to randomization.
  • Use of tobacco or nicotine-containing products more than the equivalent of 5 cigarettes/week within 30 days prior to (first) dosing.

Participants must abstain from nicotine use while inpatient.

  • History of receiving a live vaccine within 1 month of Screening.
  • History of splenectomy.
  • History of COVID or influenza vaccine within 2 weeks prior to Screening.
  • Planning to receive any vaccinations during the study period.
  • History of recurrent infections of uncertain cause.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety of multiple, ascending dose levels of MTX-101Enrollment to 11 weeks following the last dose

Assess the safety of multiple, ascending dose levels of MTX-101by evaluating the incidence, severity, and seriousness of treatment-emergent adverse events

Safety of single, ascending dose levels of MTX-101Enrollment to 8 weeks post dose

Assess the safety of single, ascending dose levels of MTX-101 by evaluating the incidence, severity, and seriousness of treatment-emergent adverse events

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
pharmacokinetics (PK) of MTX-101Enrollment to 11 weeks following the last dose

Characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of MTX-101 by measuring the maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax), minimum plasma drug concentration (Cmin), and area under the plasma drug concentration versus time curve from time 0 to last measurable concentration (AUC(0-t))

anti-drug antibody (ADA) formationEnrollment to 11 weeks following the last dose

Evaluate incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) formation by measuring the detect the presence of anti-MTX-101 antibodies in participant's blood.
