A Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of LB-P8 in Patients With PSC

Официальное название

A Phase 2 Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of LB P8 in Patients With Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC)

Обзор

The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of LB-P8 in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Подробное описание

This is phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to assess the safety and efficacy of LB-P8 in adult patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC).

* Part 1 will evaluate safety and tolerability of 2 pre-selected dose level of LB-P8 (low-dose\[1×10\^10 CFU/capsule\] and high dose \[1×10\^11 CFU/capsule\]) in adult patients with PSC. Part 1 plans to enroll a maximum number of 12 patients based on a "3+3" study design. * Part 2 will evaluate safety and efficacy in adult patients with PSC. Eligible patients with PSC will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive treatment with low-dose LB-P8(1×10\^10 CFU/capsule), high-dose LB-P8(1×10\^11 CFU/capsule) or matched placebo capsule. Part 2 plans to enroll and randomize 75 patients to obtain 60 evaluable patients.
