Overview
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1/2, open-label, dose escalation, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and efficacy study of HMB-002 in participants with VWD. Part A of the study involves a single ascending dose (SAD) design to establish safety, tolerability, PK, and PD effect. In Part B of the study, the safety and tolerability of repeat dosing will be established prior to cohort expansion to explore efficacy.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Has the ability to provide informed consent to participate in the study, in accordance with applicable regulations.
- Has an understanding, ability, and willingness to comply with study procedures and restrictions.
- ≥18 and <65 years.
- Weight 60 to 110 kg, inclusive.
- Congenital Type 1 VWD diagnosis as documented by laboratory results for VWF antigen and activity.
- Vital signs are within the following ranges at Screening:
- Resting pulse rate ≤105 bpm
- Blood pressure (BP):
- Systolic blood pressure: 90 - 140 mmHg
- Diastolic blood pressure: 40 - 90 mmHg
- Participants assigned female at birth and of child-bearing potential must have a
negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the first dose of HMB-002.
- Women of childbearing potential (CBP) and men with sexual partners of CBP must agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception throughout the study.
- Participants must meet the following baseline organ function, indicated by
laboratory criteria as Screening:
- Renal: Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≥45 ml/min/1.73m^2.
- Hepatic: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and total bilirubin ≤1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN) range at Screening. For participants with a history of Gilbert's Syndrome, total bilirubin ≤2 × ULN.
- Hematology: Hemoglobin >85 g/L and platelet count >120 x 10^9/L.
- PART B ONLY- Participants must be symptomatic as defined by a history of bleeding
events. They must have participated in the observational study HMB-002-101_SCR and have recorded bleeding events within this observational study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of clinically significant hypersensitivity associated with monoclonal antibody therapies.
- Personal history of venous or arterial thrombosis or thromboembolic disease, except for catheter-associated, superficial venous thrombosis.
- High risk thrombophilia: Homozygous Factor V Leiden (FVL), compound heterozygous FVL/Prothrombin gene mutation, Antithrombin <50%. Congenital Protein C and Protein S deficiency with levels <50%.
- Requires ongoing bleed prophylaxis with IV factor concentrates.
- Has a positive test for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), Hepatitis C antibody (HCV Ab), or human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV Ab) at Screening with RNA level above the lower limit of detection.
- Has received any live vaccine within 28 days prior to signing of informed consent and/or is planning to have a live vaccine during the study period.
- Planned major surgery during the course of the study.
- Body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m^2 (obese, adjusted for ethnicity).
- Other conditions that substantially increase risk of thrombosis by the discretion of the Investigator.
- Participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease.
- Other conditions that substantially increase the risk of cardiovascular events by the discretion of the Investigator.
- Congenital or acquired bleeding disorders other than Type 1 VWD.
- Concurrent disease, treatment, medication, or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests may pose additional risk in the opinion of the investigator.
- Hypersensitivity to study drug or any of the excipients.
- Received investigational medication in another clinical study within 5 half-lives before administration of HMB-002.
- PART A only: Type 1C VWD.
