Allogeneic Mitochondria (PN-101) Transplantation for Refractory Polymyositis or Dermatomyositis
- Conditions
- PolymyositisDermatomyositis
- Interventions
- Biological: PN-101
- Registration Number
- NCT04976140
- Lead Sponsor
- Paean Biotechnology Inc.
- Brief Summary
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) based on the safety and tolerability after single-dose administration of PN-101 in patients with refractory polymyositis or dermatomyositis. To explore the efficacy after single-dose administration of PN-101 in patients with refractory polymyositis or dermatomyositis.
- Detailed Description
This Phase 1/2a clinical trial involves patients diagnosed with refractory polymyositis or dermatomyositis.
The initial safety assessment is conducted, including development of DLT in subjects up to Week 2 after the investigational product administration.
\[DLT assessment criteria and method\]
* Low dose or intermediate dose level
1. No DLT developing in the initially enrolled 3 subjects (0/3): Increase the dose to the next dose group
2. DLT developing 1 of 3 subjects (1/3): Enroll 3 additional subjects at the same dose group and then assess DLT, and ① DLT developing in 1 out of total 6 subjects (1/3+0/3; 1/6): Increase the dose to the next dose group ② DLT developing in ≥ 2 out of total 6 subjects (≥ 2/6): In case of the low dose level, the trial is discontinued without MTD determination. In case of the intermediate dose level, MTD is assessed at the low dose which is a one lower dose level
* High dose level
1. No DLT developing in the initially enrolled 3 subjects (0/3): Declare as the MTD
2. DLT developing 1 of 3 subjects (1/3): Enroll 3 additional subjects at the same dose group and then assess DLT, and ① DLT developing in 1 out of total 6 subjects (1/3+0/3; 1/6): Declare as the MTD ② DLT developing in ≥ 2 out of total 6 subjects (≥ 2/6): Assess MTD at the intermediate dose which is the one lower dose level
