Safety and Clinical Activity of Itolizumab in aGVHD
- Conditions
- Acute Graft Versus Host Disease
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT05823675
- Lead Sponsor
- Biotech Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
- Brief Summary
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and clinical activity of Itolizumab in subjects with Newly diagnosed Acute Graft Versus Host Disease(aGVHD).
- Detailed Description
The study will enroll approximately 44 subjects in three parts:
Part 1 is an open label 3+3 single dose escalation phase and will enroll approximately 30 subjects with aGVHD across 4 cohorts, where subjects will receive Itolizumab administered intravenously for 1 dose.
Part 2 is an open label phase and subjects from part 1 will receive Itolizumab administered intravenously every two weeks for a total of 4 doses.
Part 3 is a randomized phase and will enroll approximately 14 additional subjects, randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the 2 recommended doses provided by Part 1 and Part 2. Subjects will receive Itolizumab administered intravenously every two weeks for a total of 5 doses.
