The Safety and Efficacy of NouvSoma001 in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders

Официальное название

An Open-Label Exploratory Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of NouvSoma001 in the Treatment of Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders

Обзор

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial. The objective of this research is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intrathecal administration of human-induced neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (NouvSoma001) for the treatment of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.

Подробное описание

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial. The study consists of two parts: Part 1 is a dose-escalation study, while Part 2 is a dose-extension study based on the results of Part 1. Part 1 will follow a traditional 3+3 dose-escalation design, enrolling a total of 9 subjects. In Cohort 1, participants will receive 5 × 10\^9 particles; in Cohort 2, they will receive 1.5 × 10\^10 particles; and in Cohort 3, they will receive 3 × 10\^10 particles. If no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed within 2 weeks after the initial administration, a new cohort will be enrolled at the next higher dose level. If DLTs are observed in 1 participant, another 2 participants will be treated at the same dose level. Dose escalation will cease if DLTs are observed in more than 33% of the participants. In Part 2, the remaining 60 participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the treatment and placebo groups, with the dose level determined by the Data Safety Monitoring Board based on the results of Part 1.
