Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of ST266 in Infants With Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)

Официальное название

Randomized, Controlled, Phase 1-2 Open Label Study of ST266 IV Administration to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of ST266 in Infants With Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)

Обзор

The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of two dose levels (0.5 mL/kg and 1.0 mL/kg) of once daily (QD) via IV route of administration of ST266 in treating patients with Bell's stage IIA or higher medical NEC by incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and SAEs, with a secondary objective to assess preliminary efficacy of the same two dose levels (0.5 mL/kg and 1.0 mL/kg) of QD via IV route of administration of ST266 in treating patients with Bell's stage IIA or higher medical NEC.

Подробное описание

This Phase 1-2 clinical trial is a randomized, controlled, open-label study using a modified sequential cohort design. Assignment to cohorts will be based on the following dosages and weight ranges: 0.5 mL/kg and 1.0 mL/kg; weight ≥1000 g and ≤3000 g, and weight ≥500 g and ≤999 g.

In each cohort, patients will be randomized to either ST266 + SOC or SOC alone. In the first cohort, the first three patients randomized to ST266 were staggered, where each patient completed their 10-day treatment period containing 10 treatment cycles and Day 28/1 Month follow-up visit and were evaluated by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), before dosing of the next patient occurred. Patients randomized to SOC alone followed the treatment plan as dictated by the Investigator site SOC procedures and were evaluated for the same inclusion/exclusion criteria and selected endpoints for analysis. If for any reason a patient was withdrawn, the decision for replacement was determined by the DSMB.

Dosing for the next cohort will occur after review of safety data up to and including Day 28/1 Month post-treatment follow-up visit from all patients in Cohort 1. DSMB reviews will include comprehensive safety data analysis of data available at that time. In Cohorts 2, 3, and 4, only a single sentinel ST266-treated patient will be required to complete their 10-day treatment period containing 10 treatment cycles and Day 28/1 Month follow-up visit and be evaluated by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), before dosing of the next patient occurs. Given that Cohort 2 shares the same weight range and Cohort 3 the same dose as Cohort 1, Cohorts 2 and 3 may be opened for enrollment in parallel. If any safety event occurs in either Cohort 2 or 3, the DSMB will promptly evaluate and determine whether to continue the study and/or reinstate patient staggering.

Вмешательства

• Биопрепарат ST266
  Patients randomized to investigative drug product (ST266) will receive either 0.5 mL/kg or 1.0 mL/kg of ST266 QD in addition to Standard of Care treatment; Patients randomized to SOC will receive standard of care treatment only.

Критерии участия

Критерии включения

• Infants born from ≥22 weeks gestational age up to and including 40 weeks gestational age; up to 40 weeks postmenstrual age (gestational age plus chronological age in terms of weeks) with current weight at diagnosis of NEC between ≥500g and ≤3000g, as a result of prematurity and/or IUGR. Parent(s)/legal medical representative(s) voluntarily provides written consent prior to study enrollment.
• Bell's Stage IIA or higher medical NEC (Stages IIA - IIIA only) diagnosis by radiologic confirmed pneumatosis intestinalis and may include intestinal dilation and ileus. The clinician confirms NEC diagnosis by evaluation of the radiologic imaging for confirmed pneumatosis intestinalis. If X-ray is used and is equivocal, an ultrasound (US) may be used, if available, to confirm pneumatosis. If the clinician (Neonatologist and/or Pediatric Surgeon) has differing interpretation from that of the Radiologist, that should be documented in both the medical and research records for accuracy of NEC diagnosis.

Критерии исключения

• Infants with abdominal perforation.
• Not expected to survive ≥2 weeks or born with a lethal condition requiring hospice or palliative care (e.g., disease has progressed to NEC totalis, or patient has multi-organ system failure).
• Born with major congenital anomalies such as cardiac defects (e.g., Tetralogy of Fallot) or chromosomal disorders/anomalies (e.g., neural tube defect).
• Mother's receipt of any investigational product during pregnancy.
• Infants with malignancies (e.g., neoplastic cell growth as a solid tumor or a blood neoplasm, such as congenital leukemia).
• Infants with hypercoagulability disorders (any active thrombosis, diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation or other acquired/inherited disorders (i.e., hemophilia) of coagulation.
• Infants with a known immunodeficiency (such as galactosemia or agranulocytosis).
• Infants with anatomic defects that require surgical intervention.
• Infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn.
• Infants with any congenital or acquired gastrointestinal pathology that preclude feeds within 7 days after birth (e.g., duodenal atresia).
• Infants who have hypoxic ischemic injury (perinatal asphyxia).
• Infants with polycythemia (at time of treatment) (>22 g/dL).
• Positive maternal human immunodeficiency virus status.
• History of maternal drug abuse (such as amphetamines, opiates, cocaine). This does not include marijuana, or prescription medications for treatment of drug abuse.
• Considered by the Investigator, for any reason, to be an unsuitable candidate for the study.
• Infants diagnosed with NEC who will require immediate surgical intervention.
