Brief Summary

Brief summary The Phase 1 study described herein will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of XmAb942 in healthy volunteers (Parts A and B). Part C of this study will be a Phase 2 study to evaluate XmAb942 in participants with Ulcerative Colitis.

Detailed Description

This study is a Phase 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) study in healthy volunteers, followed by a cohort of three repeating doses in healthy volunteers. The third part of this study will be a Phase 2, randomized, placebo controlled, double blind evaluation of participants with Ulcerative Colitis with a dose determined from Parts A and B.

This study consists of 3 parts, as follows:

Part A: SAD in healthy participants, will entail administration of XmAb942 or matching placebo.

Part B: Repeat Dosing for up to 3 doses, will entail administration of XmAb942 or matching placebo.

Part C: Participants with UC to receive XmAb942 or placebo with dose determined from Part A and Part B.

Part C: placeboPlaceboPlacebo Comparator to be administered to participants with Ulcerative Colitis. The SRC will provide recommendations on the doses, frequency and route of administration to be assessed in Part C based on emerging Part A and/or Part B data
Part A: Active drugXmAb942Active XmAb942 to be administered to healthy volunteers (SAD). Participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to active or placebo. Study intervention will be administered once via either subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion. Each dose cohort will have 8 participants receiving the dose as a subcutaneous injection, and 8 participants receiving the dose as an IV infusion. Randomization to each SAD cohort will be done in a staggered manner; initially 2 sentinel participants (1 active and 1 placebo) will be randomized and dosed. After a safety evaluation period of the dose without clinically significant adverse events (AEs) then 6 additional participants will be randomized and dosed (5 active and 1 placebo) at the discretion of the Investigator according to the randomization schedule. A Safety Review Committee (SRC) will review data prior to escalation to the next dose level.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence, nature, and severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) of XmAb942 in healthy volunteers (Part A cohort)20 weeks
Incidence, nature, and severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) with repeated doses of XmAb942 in healthy volunteers (Part B cohort)28 weeks
Incidence, nature, and severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) with repeated doses of XmAb942 in participants with UC (Part C)12 weeks
Clinical outcomes of multiple doses of XmAb942 in participants with UC, as determined by the Modified Mayo Score, Rectal Bleeding score, Stool Frequency Score, and Endoscopic subscore (Part C)12 weeks

The Modified Mayo Score (MMS) is a composite score of ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity on a scale of increasing severity from 0-9. This is calculated by adding the results from Endoscopic Subscore (ES) which measures GI bleeding, Stool Frequency Subscore (SFS) which measures stool frequency per day, and Rectal Bleeding Score (RBS), which measures presence of blood during stool passing. Each subscore is a scale of increasing severity from 0 to 3.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of participants with histologic-endoscopic remission (Part C).12 weeks

Histologic-endoscopic remission (HER) is defined as a Geboes score of less than 2 and ES of 0 or 1. The Geboes score is a histologic grading system for inflammation in UC with scores ranging from 0 to 5.4, with higher scores indicating more severe inflammation. ES measures UC severity based on endoscopy, scored from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease, such as spontaneous bleeding or ulceration).

Proportion of participants with endoscopic remission (Part C).12 weeks

Endoscopic improvement is defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore (ES) of 0 or 1. The ES measures UC severity based on endoscopy on a 0-3 scale of increasing severity.

Proportion of participants with endoscopic improvement (Part C)12 weeks

Endoscopic improvement is defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore (ES) of 0 or 1. The ES measures UC severity based on endoscopy on a 0-3 scale of increasing severity.

Proportion of participants with histologic-endoscopic improvement (Part C).12 weeks

Histologic-endoscopic improvement is defined as a Geboes score ≤3.1, together with a Mayo Score for ES of 0 or 1. The Geboes score is a histologic grading system for inflammation in UC with scores ranging from 0 to 5.4, with higher scores indicating more severe inflammation. The ES measures UC severity based on endoscopy on a 0-3 scale of increasing severity.

Change from baseline in partial Modified Mayo score (Part C).12 weeks

The partial Modified Mayo Score (pMMS) is a composite score of UC disease activity on a scale of increasing severity from 0-6, calculated by summing two subscores: SFS, scored from 0 (typical number of stools per day for the participant) to 3 (≥5 stools more than normal per day for the participant); RBS, scored from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (only passing blood). Clinical response is defined as pMMS reduction of 1 or more points and 30% or more, plus a reduction of 1 or more points in RBS or an absolute RBS of 0 or 1.

Proportion of participants with clinical response per Modified Mayo Score (MMS) (Part C).12 weeks

The Modified Mayo Score (MMS) is a composite score of ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity on a scale of increasing severity from 0-9. This is calculated by adding the results from Endoscopic Subscore (ES) which measures bleeding GI bleeding, Stool Frequency Subscore (SFS) which measures stool frequency per day, and Rectal Bleeding Score, which measures presence of blood during stool passing. Each subscore is a scale of increasing severity from 0 to 3.
