Brief Summary

This study consists of two phases (Phase I and Phase IIa). Phase IIa will be conducted sequentially after the safety of SCM-AGH is secured in Phase I.

* Phase I: Multicenter in Korea, Non-Randomized, Open-label, Single Arm, 3+3 design) for Severe Acute Pancreatitis

* Phase II: Multicenter in Korea, Randomized, Double-blind, 2-arm, Placebo-controlled, Parallel arm for Moderate to Severe Acute Pancreatitis

Detailed Description

Phase I (Multicenter in Korea, Non-Randomized, Open-label, Single Arm, 3+3 design): Three and up to six patients with severe Acute Pancreatitis are planned to recruit from 12 sites in Korea, but additional three patients can be enrolled by an assessment of Adverse Drug Reaction(ADR) from first three subjects .

Subjects will be administered with SCM-AGH as an intravenous (IV) infusion once a day for 3 days. Efficacy and safety are assessed daily for the first week, and then weekly on 3 occasions (Day 14, 21, and 28). Survival is followed up until Day 90.

Phase II (Multicenter in Korea, Randomized, Double-blind, 2-arm, Placebo-controlled, Parallel arm): Eligible patients will be randomized to the SCM-AGH group or placebo group at 1:1 ratio. Total 36 patients with Moderate to Severe Acute Pancreatitis are planned to be enrolled from 12 sites in Korea. Subjects will receive SCM-AGH on Day 0, 1, and 2. Existing standard of care is permitted. Efficacy and safety are assessed daily for the first week, and then weekly on 3 occasions (Day 14, 21, and 28). Survival is followed up until Day 90.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The change from baseline in modified Marshall score on Day 7 for organ failure subjectDay 7

The modified Marshall score is the scoring system to define the organ failure. The score is based on three different scores, one each for the respiratory, cardiovascular and renal. the modified Marshall score is \>2 through the respiratory, renal or cardiovascular system, it is called organ failure.

The change from baseline in CTSI Score on Day 28Day 28 for CTSI Subject

CTSI is scoring system to define the severity of acute pancreatitis. (4-6: Moderate, 7-10: Severe)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Rate of infectionDay 28 or the day of discharge

The even of infection such as infected pancreatic necrosis, bacteremia and pneumonia. The several tests for diagnosis can be conducted per investigator's decision.

The change from baseline in sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) at each assessment point up to Day 28Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28 or the day of discharge

SOFA score is used to track a person's status during the stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) to determine the extent of a person's organ function or rate of failure. The score is based on six different scores, one each for the respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal and neurological systems.

Duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stayDay 28 or the day of discharge

Number of days for stay duration at ICU. The duration is from the day of hospitalization to day of discharge.

The change from baseline in Computed Tomography Severity Index(CTSI) on Day 28Day 28 or the day of discharge

CTSI is the sum of Balthazar grade and necrosis score. The scoring is defined by evaluation of abdominal Computed Tomography(CT).

Requirement of drainage or surgeryDay 28 or the day of discharge

Requirement of drainage due to intra-abdominal catastrophe or necrosis and surgery due to hemorrhage, perforation or abdominal compartment syndrome will be evaluated until Day 28.

Incidence of pancreatic complicationDay 28 or the day of discharge

Pancreatic complication will be evaluated by abdominal CT.

Mortality on Day 28 and 90Day 28 or the day of discharge and Day 90
