A Clinical Study of SCTC21C in Participants With Plasma Cell-driven Autoimmune Diseases

Phase 1

Conditions
IgA Nephropathy

Registration Number
NCT06774664
Lead Sponsor
Sinocelltech Ltd.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of SCTC21C in subjects with plasma cell-driven autoimmune diseases

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of multiple doses of SCTC21C in subjects with plasma cell-driven autoimmune diseases.

In phase 1 study, participants will be assigned to receive sequentially higher doses of SCTC21C to determine the recommended dose of SCTC21C for the randomized dose optimization- stage. In phase 2 study, 2 dose levels will be used. A total of 72 participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ration to dose 1, dose 2 or placebo groups to better understand the exposure/efficacy/toxicity relationship.

  7. A history of solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell or bone marrow transplantation, or expected to undergo a transplant procedure during the treatment period with the investigational drug;
  8. Currently undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, or expected to require hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis during the treatment period with the investigational drug;
  9. Any symptoms or signs within 30 days prior to baseline indicating an active infection (excluding the common cold), or requiring systemic anti-infective treatment, or being at high risk for infection;
  10. Positive viral serology, including HIV, HCV, and HBV, etc.; Hepatitis B patients: active hepatitis or severe liver disease;
  11. Currently or within the past 5 years has had malignant tumors, except for fully treated skin basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia;

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Phase 1: Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs).36 Weeks

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:

Results in death Is life-threatening Requires in patient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect Is an infection that requires treatment parenteral antibiotics Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardise the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above.

Phase 2: Percentage change in urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) at Week 24 compared to baseline24 Weeks

UPCR is calculated by dividing the concentration of protein in urine by the urine creatinine concentration.
