A Study of CM310 in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Asthma

Overview

This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase Ⅱ/Ⅲ clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK characteristics, PD effects and immunogenicity of CM310 in subjects with moderate to severe asthma.

The study consists of three periods, including an up to 4-week screening period, a 52-week randomized treatment period, and a 4-week safety follow-up period.

9. Subjects (including partners) have no plans to have children and voluntarily use highly effective contraception within 3 months after the last dose of study drug from the date of signing the informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Received biological agents with the same therapeutic purpose within 6 months before signing the informed consent.
2. Prior autoimmune disease or inflammatory treatment with biologic agents/systemic immunosuppressive agents within 8 weeks or 5 half- lives (whichever is longer) prior to informed consent.
3. Received immune globulin or blood products within 30 days before informed consent.
4. Subjects treated with systemic corticosteroids (except for topical, ophthalmic, or intranasal corticosteroids) from 4 weeks before signing the informed consent to the date of randomization.
5. Received live or attenuated vaccine within 3 months before informed consent signing or planned to receive live or attenuated vaccine during the study period.
6. Initiation of desensitization therapy within 3 months before informed consent.
7. Underwent bronchial thermoplasty within 12 months before informed consent.
8. Current smokers or former smokers who quit smoking less than 6 months or former smokers who quit smoking more than 6 months with a smoking history of more than 10 pack-years.
9. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other lung disease that may impair lung function, as judged by the investigator.
10. Active infection or acute infection requiring systemic anti-infective therapy from 4 weeks before enrollment to the time of randomization.
11. Previous history of known or suspected immunosuppression, including a history of invasive opportunistic infection, even if the infection has resolved; Or the presence of unusual frequent, recurrent, or prolonged infections.
12. History of malignancy: subjects with basal cell carcinoma, localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix are eligible to enter the study if they have completed curative treatment for at least 12 months before signing the informed consent. Subjects with other malignancies are allowed to enter the study if they have completed curative treatment for at least 5 years before signing the informed consent.
13. The presence of any severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator may affect the evaluation of the drug, including but not limited to: severe neurological disease, history of severe mental disorder, major cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus poorly controlled by intensive treatment, QTcF interval prolongation, or persistent arrhythmia.
14. Major surgery within 8 weeks prior to informed consent or planned surgery requiring general anesthesia or hospitalization for > 1 day during the study period.
15. Fertile women with positive pregnancy test results during screening; Pregnant or lactating women.
16. Positive screening serologic test for HIV or treponema pallidum.
17. Chronic hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infection.
18. Subjects with abnormal liver and kidney function, such as aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase>3 × ULN, or serum creatinine>1.5 × ULN.
19. Have systemic diseases other than asthma that result in an elevated peripheral blood eosinophil count or other diseases such as helminth parasitic infections for which standard treatment is not received or does not respond.
20. Allergy or intolerance to components of CM310 injection or placebo or history of severe drug allergy or anaphylactic shock.
21. Have been enrolled in a clinical trial of any drug or medical device within 3 months before signing informed consent, or are within the follow-up period of a clinical study or the five half-lives of the trial drug (whichever is longer) before signing informed consent.
22. Subjects who have used heavy alcohol within 3 months before screening.
23. History of drug abuse within 5 years before signing informed consent.
24. The investigator considers that there are any conditions that may prevent the subject from completing the study or present a significant risk to the subject or other factors that may reduce the likelihood of enrollment.
