Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of SAD of FXI-GalNAc-siRNA administered SC to healthy subjects.
Description
Phase 1, Single center, randomized, double-blind, sequential cohort study to evaluate safety, tolerability, PK and PD of a single ascending dose of FXI-GalNAc-siRNA when administered subcutaneously in healthy subjects compared with Normal Saline Injection.
The study will include a screening period, treatment period, and a follow-up period.
Five dose cohorts will be evaluated.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
Subjects who meet all the following criteria will be eligible to participate in the study:
- Male or female subjects 18 to 55 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
- Subjects must be in generally reasonable health with clinically insignificant screening and admission results (medical history, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), physical examination, and laboratory tests), as determined by the Investigator.
- Subjects must have a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 18 kg/m2 or ≤ 32 kg/m2 at Screening and Day -1 (Admission).
- Subjects must have aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBIL), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and glucose within upper limit of normal (ULN) range per reference laboratory reference ranges at Screening and Day -1 (Admission); one repeat laboratory analysis allowed per Investigator discretion.
- Subjects must have baseline Factor XI plasma levels within normal range as per testing laboratory requirements.
- Subjects must have prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) within the ULN range per reference laboratory reference ranges at Screening and Day -1 (Admission); one repeat laboratory analysis allowed per Investigator discretion.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening
and negative urine pregnancy test at Day -1 (Admission), must not be actively
breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study, and if not practicing
abstinence from heterosexual activity that could result in conception (if this is the
preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject), must agree to use 2 approved methods of
birth control, during the study and for at least 140 days after study drug
administration from the list below:
- Condom plus diaphragm with spermicide started at least 28 days prior to dosing.
- Condom plus cervical cap or female condom with spermicide started at least 28 days prior to dosing.
- Hormonal contraceptives (stable dose for 28 days [4 weeks] prior to Screening) plus condom.
- Intrauterine device (in place for 28 days [4 weeks] prior to Screening) plus condom.
- Condom plus spermicide.
- Partner vasectomy and use of barrier contraception methods (eg, male condom, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide).
- Women of nonchildbearing potential must be either surgically sterile (partial/total
hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) for at least 6 months confirmed by medical/operative report, or if medical/operative report is not available, confirmed by follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] and 17β-estradiol tests) or > 1 year in the postmenopausal women confirmed by FSH and 17β-estradiol tests.
- Men must agree to use barrier contraception (condom with a female partner of child-bearing potential who is using oral contraceptives, hormonal patch, implant or injection, intrauterine device or diaphragm with spermicide) and refrain from sperm donation from the day of study drug administration until at least 140 days after study drug administration. Post vasectomy, men must agree to use a barrier method (or partner barrier method) from the day of study drug administration until at least 140 days after study drug administration. Abstinence as a method of contraception is acceptable if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the study participant.
- Subjects must be informed of the nature of the study and must have agreed to and be able to read, review, and sign the study ICF prior to any study-related procedure being performed.
NOTE: If laboratory values are abnormal, tests may be repeated once at Investigator
discretion.
Exclusion Criteria
Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in the
study:
1. Patients with known diagnosis of Hemophilia C, Factor XI deficiency or another known
bleeding disorder.
2. Current or previous cancer except superficial forms of non-melanoma skin cancers that
have been resolved with clear histology reporting; diabetes or known diagnosis of
prediabetes; or any clinically significant cardiovascular (including ECG disturbances
or history of rhythm disturbance/abnormality), endocrine, renal, hepatic,
gastrointestinal, hematologic, respiratory, dermatological, neurological, psychiatric
disorder that could be deemed by the investigator to interfere with study
participation, or other disorders that the investigator deems could interfere with
study participation.
3. Hypertension, defined as blood pressure > 140/90 mmHg (2 separate readings at least 15
minutes apart if first reading is not within normal range) at Screening and Day -1
(Admission).
4. Hyperlipidemia, defined as:
1. Cholesterol > 300 mg/dL.
2. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol > 190 mg/dL.
3. And/or triglycerides >500 mg/dL.
5. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) > 6.0% at Screening. Note: Abnormal laboratory values may be
repeated once at Investigator discretion
6. Hemoglobin less than 12 g/dL for females and less than 13 g/dL for males or hematocrit
outside upper or lower limits of normal range per reference laboratory range at both
Screening and Day -1 (Admission).
7. Serum creatinine above ULN per reference laboratory range at both Screening and Day -1
(Admission).
8. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 80 mL/min/1.73 m2. If GFR value is not
supplied by local laboratory, it can be calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease
Epidemiology Collaboration equation at Screening and Day -1 (Admission). One retest of
the exclusionary eGFR value is allowed at the discretion of the Investigator.
9. Unwillingness to abstain from alcohol for 72 hours prior to dosing through the EOS
Visit (or ET).
10. Use of prescription or nonprescription drugs (excluding hormonal contraceptives), if
clinically applicable, including vitamins, supplements, herbal preparations, and
medicines that prolong Q wave interval (QT)/ Q wave interval corrected (QTc) within 7
days or 5 times longer than the half-life (whichever is longer) prior to the study
drug administration through the EOS Visit (approximately 140 days) or at ET.
11. Blood donation within 56 days or plasma donation within 10 days prior to dosing.
12. Use of live or non-live vaccine (except SARS-CoV-2 and influenza) within 30 days prior
to the first dose of study drug or an intention to receive such a vaccine at any time
during the study.
13. Received an investigational agent in another clinical study within 30 days prior to
the first dose of study drug, or within 10 times longer than the half-life of the
compound with which the subject was treated, whichever is longer.
14. Positive results of any of the virology tests (human immunodeficiency virus [HIV
test], hepatitis B virus [HBsAg test] or hepatitis C virus [hepatitis C antibody
test]).
15. Diagnosed to be SARS-CoV-2 positive based on study center SARS-CoV-2 testing
guidelines on Day -1.
16. Personal or family history of vascular aneurysms and disorders.
17. Personal or family history of long QT syndrome.
18. Corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula (> 450 msec) based on the average of
triplicate ECGs.
19. History of active alcoholism or active drug abuse as that would impair the ability of
a subject to participate in the study.
20. Positive urine drug or breath alcohol screen at Screening or Day -1 (Admission) and at
all visits after confinement, verbal confirmation of compliance.
21. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would complicate or compromise
the study data or the well-being of the subject.
NOTE: If laboratory values are abnormal, tests may be repeated once at Investigator
discretion.
