Exclusion Criteria
- Serum creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or alkaline phosphatase ≥1.5 times the upper limit of normal
- Angina, uncontrolled hypertension, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation), any other clinically significant cardiovascular abnormality or clinically significant abnormal ECG
- Immune-mediated disorder other than MS that in the Investigator's judgment, may affect the interpretation of results or the patient's ability to safely complete the study
- Any clinically significant cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, allergic or anaphylactic reasons, or other major diseases (other than MS), that in the Investigator's judgment, may affect the interpretation of results or patient's ability to safely complete the study. This includes a suicide attempt within the past 1 year or severe suicidal ideation within the past 6 months or patients who in the opinion of the Investigator are at significant risk of suicidal behavior
- MS relapse within 30 days prior to screening or treatment with systemic (oral, IV or IM) corticosteroids, except for minimally absorbed topical or inhalational preparations, within the 30 days prior to the Screening Visit
- Initiation of interferon-beta 1b (Betaseron,a extavia), interferon beta-1a (Avonex, a Rebif a), glatiramer acetate (copaxone), natalizumab (Tysabri), or fingolimod (Gilenya), or dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera ®) within the 90 days prior to the Screening Visit, or any change in the dosing regimen of these drugs within the 30 days prior to the Screening Visit. Initiation of teriflunomide (AUBAGIO®) or any change in the dosing regimen of this drug within 90 days prior to the Screening Visit.
- Treatment with any of the following medications within the 12 months prior to Day 1 of the study: daclizumab, azathioprine, methotrexate, IV immunoglobulin, plasmaphoresis, or mycophenolate mofetil; or discontinuation of teriflunomide (AUBAGIO®) within 12 months prior to Day 1.
- History of clinically significant infusion reactions with administration of biologics, including plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin, and other monoclonal antibodies such as natalizumab (Tysabri)
- Prior treatment with total lymphoid irradiation, T cell or T-cell receptor vaccination, alemtuzumab, mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, or rituximab
- Received any investigational agent or therapy up to 30 days or 4 pharmacokinetic half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Screening Visit or plans to enroll in another investigational trial at any time during this study
- Contraindication to brain MRI or inability to tolerate brain MRI

Group Intervention Description rHIgM22 rHIgM22 Cohorts 1-5: In each dosing cohort, the first 2 eligible patients will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to receive rHIgM22 or placebo, and monitored for safety for a minimum of 7 days before the remaining 8 patients in the cohort are randomized (7 active: 1 placebo) and dosed. Expanded Cohort: Upon establishment of a Maximally Tolerated Dose (MTD), a new group of 21 patients will be enrolled in an Expansion Cohort. Randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment groups: placebo, Investigational Product (IP) at MTD, or IP at one full dose level lower than MTD.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of the human monoclonal rHIgM22 in patients with MS. 90 Days Monitoring of adverse events (AEs) will be conducted throughout the study. Adverse events, including serious adverse events will be recorded in the case report forms (CRFs).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Measure the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single ascending doses of rHIgM22 Day 1 through Day 180 PK parameters will include; The maximum measured plasma concentration (Cmax), time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax), half-life (T1/2), and the area under the concentration curve from time 0 to the concentration at last time point (AUC (0-last)).
Measure the pharmacodynamics of single ascending doses of rHIgM22 using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Day 1 through Day 180
