Official title
A Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Preliminary Efficacy of YK012 in the Treatment of Primary Membranous Nephropathy
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of YK012 in participants with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN).
Detailed description
This clinical trial consists of Phase Ia and Phase Ib. The goal of phase Ia is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of YK012 in participants with primary membranous nephropathy and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose for expansion (RDE). The goal of phase Ib is to assess the preliminary efficacy of YK012 in participants with primary membranous nephropathy and to establish the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D).
Interventions
- Drug YK012
YK012 is a bispecific antibody targeting CD19 on B cells and CD3 on T cells leading to T cell-mediated cytotoxicity of malignant B cells
Primary outcome measures
- Ia: Dose-limiting Toxicity(DLT) [Time frame: up to 28 days after the first dose]
- Ia: Adverse Event (AE) [Time frame: From the first induction to the end of the trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: Severe Adverse Event [Time frame: From the first induction to the end of the trial at 53 weeks]
- Ib: Proportion of participants achieving overall response [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the trial at 76 weeks (if applicable)]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Ia: Area Under the Curve (AUC) of a serum concentration versus time profile [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: Area Under the Curve of a serum concentration to infinite time (AUC0-infinity) [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: Maximum concentration (Cmax) of YK012 [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: Time to reach Cmax (Tmax) [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: Elimination half life (t1/2) [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: Total Apparent Clearance (CL) [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: Apparent volume of distribution(Vd) [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of YK012 [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: The duration of peripheral blood B-cell depletion [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: The profile of peripheral blood NK cell changes [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: The profile of peripheral blood T-cell changes [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
- Ia: The profile of cytokine changes [Time frame: From 1 hour before the first infusion of YK012 to the end of trial at 53 weeks]
