简要总结
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (respiratory hypersensitivity), airway inflammation, and intermittent airway obstruction. One of the characteristics of the disease is an inflammatory reaction of the immune system caused by cytokine production. A substantial number of asthma patients do not satisfactorily respond to steroid therapy and consequently have an unmet medical need for novel targeted therapies with improved specificity, tolerability, and compliance.
Novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases by targeting early disease-causing mechanisms are a promising approach for the treatment of asthma. The transcription factor GATA-3 plays a key role in mediating the asthmatic immune response and has been shown to be necessary and sufficient for the production of cytokines interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13. The active principle hgd40 of the investigational medicinal product SB010 belongs to a new class of antisense oligonucleotide therapeutics, the 10-23 DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)zymes (antisense oligonucleotide). DNAzymes are catalytically active nucleic acids that cleave complementary RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules. By cleaving GATA-3 mRNA, hgd40 reduces specific cytokine production and thereby reduces key features of allergic airway inflammation.
DNAzymes are generated completely by chemical synthesis and can be produced under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) controlled conditions. The DNAzymes are not biological drugs, i.e. they are not generated by use of any living organism including cell culture or bacteria. The molecules are highly water-soluble and will be applied as solution directly in their synthesized form.
The current study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of increasing multiple doses of inhaled SB010 in healthy male subjects.

入选标准
- •Subject has been informed both verbally and in writing about the objectives of the clinical trial, the methods, the anticipated benefits and potential risks and the discomfort to which he may be exposed, and has given written consent to participation in the trial prior to trial start and any trial-related procedure.
- •Healthy male Caucasian subject, aged between 18 and 45 years (inclusive), assessed as healthy based on a screening examination including medical history without clinically relevant pathologies, physical examination, vital signs, ECG assessment, pulmonary function testing, and clinical laboratory results.
- •Body weight according to a body mass index ≥18.0 and ≤29.0 kg/m2, and a body weight ≥60 and ≤90 kg.
- •Non-smokers or ex-smokers who had stopped smoking for at least 5 years prior to start of the clinical study.
- •Ability to inhale in an appropriate manner (Subjects will be trained to inhale using the AKITA2 APIXNEB® device with a placebo medication at the screening visit).
- •The subject must agree:
- •to use two methods of contraception in combination with his female partner, if she is of childbearing potential; this combination of contraceptive methods must be used from screening until at least 6 months after the last dose of IMP. At least one of the contraception methods must be a barrier contraception method. Contraceptive methods allowed include the following: condoms, diaphragm in combination with a spermicide, intrauterine device as well as for female partners oral contraception, contraception implants, OR
- •not to be sexually active at screening and accept using double-barrier contraception should he become sexually active during or within 6 months after the last dose of IMP, OR
- •to have been surgically sterilised prior to screening and accept to use a barrier method of contraception as well, OR
- •to have a partner who is post-menopausal and has had her last natural menstruation at least 24 months prior to screening, OR
- •to have a partner who has had a hysterectomy prior to screening, OR
- •to have a partner who has been surgically sterilised prior to screening
- •All assessments will be performed within 2 to 14 days prior to first dose with the active compound or placebo.
排除标准
- •History or current evidence of clinically relevant allergies or idiosyncrasy to any drug or food.
- •History of allergic reactions to any active or inactive component of the study medication.
- •Any history of allergic rhinitis or atopic disease. Subjects with total immunoglobulin E levels >150 kU/L will be excluded.
- •History or current evidence of any clinically relevant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, haematological, endocrinological, metabolic, neurological, or psychiatric disease within the last 2 years.
