Last Updated: 2024-01-22

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: TERMINATED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 34 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL

• Study Completion Date: 2022-12-30

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose, sequential group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of PB2452 (Bentracimab) with and without ticagrelor pretreatment when administered to Chinese healthy male and female subjects.

Up to 6 dose levels will be evaluated. This study will have 5 cohorts and a total of 40 subjects with 8 healthy subjects per cohort. Cohort 1 will be split into 3 parts, Cohort 1-a, 1-b and 1-c. The starting dose of PB2452 will be 100 mg and the planned doses for subsequent parts or cohorts are 300, 1000, 3000, 9000, and 18000 mg.

Detailed Description

The study will consist of a screening period (Days -28 to -4), check-in/pretreatment (Day -3 to -1), an in-house treatment period (Days 1 through 4), and follow-up visits (Days 7 and 28 (+2 days)). Subjects will receive an IV dose of study drug on Day 1.

On Day 1, subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be assigned to treatment before dosing. For Cohorts 1-c and 2 to 5, subjects will be randomly assigned to receive PB2452 or placebo in a ratio of 3:1.

5. Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant before 3 months after the last dose of study drug, and have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and check-in. Female subjects of childbearing potential must use 2 effective methods of birth control (hormonal contraceptives [i.e., oral, implantable, patch, or injectable contraceptives, hormone-containing intrauterine device that has been in place for at least 2 months prior to screening] in combination with a barrier method [i.e., condoms, sponge, diaphragm, or cervical cap with spermicidal gels or cream]) from 30 days before study drug administration through the end of the study. Double barrier method of condom and spermicide without hormonal contraceptives, or confirmation of sexual abstinence is acceptable, as well as vasectomy for male subjects or male partners of female subjects. Women are considered not to be of childbearing potential if they have fulfilled one of the following criteria: documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization (i.e., hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy [not tubal ligation]), or postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea for 12 consecutive months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, and documented plasma follicle-stimulating hormone level >40 IU/mL, or amenorrhea for 24 consecutive months). Male subjects with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use appropriate and effective measures of contraception (e.g., condom plus diaphragm with spermicide; condom plus spermicide) during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug, and to refrain from donating sperm for at least 7 days prior to the dose of study drug and until at least 90 days following the last dose of study drug.

6. The subject agrees to comply with all protocol requirements.

7. The subject is able to provide written informed consent.

17. The subject has donated blood or plasma within 1 month of screening or any blood donation/loss more than 500 mL during the 3 months prior to the infusion of study drug.

18. The subject has a history of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing allergy/hypersensitivity, as judged by the investigator or history of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to ticagrelor, any biologic therapeutic agent, or any significant food allergy that could preclude a standard diet in the clinical site.
