Brief Summary

This is an open label, two to three center study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 1 dose level of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HPβCD) given intravenously in adult patients with type 2 diabetes with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and proteinuria.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 2a, open label, two to three center study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 1 dose level of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HPβCD) given intravenously in adult patients with type 2 diabetes with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and proteinuria.

The study will be conducted at 2 - 3 sites in the United States of America (USA) and will screen a sufficient number of subjects to complete 8 participants meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria outlined.

The study consists of up to a 4-week screening period, a 12-week treatment period and a 4-week follow-up period.

Conditions

Diabetic Kidney Disease

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

2HPβCD

Study drug will be administered by IV infusion during the treatment period.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

2HPβCD

Intervention Type: DRUG

2HPβCD is a 7 D-glucopyranosyl derivation of cyclodextrin (CD) that entraps and passively removes intracellular cholesterol from the kidney. It is also believed to promote active cholesterol removal through up-regulation of cholesterol efflux transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1.

2. At screening, eGFR equal or greater than 30 and less than 90 mL/min/1.73 m^2.

6. Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 40.0 kg/m^2.

7. If on diabetes and anti-hypertensive medications:

1. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) inhibitors dose must be stable for 3 months before screening.

2. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) or GLP-1 receptor agonist or long-acting insulin dose must be stable for at least 3 months prior to screening.

3. All other diabetes and anti-hypertensive medications must be at a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to screening.

8. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤10.0% at screening.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Has a solitary kidney.

2. Has a positive drug screen.

3. Known kidney disease other than diabetic kidney disease.

4. End stage renal disease (ESRD) (i.e., peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, or history of kidney transplantation).

5. Acute kidney injury or dialysis within the last 3 months before the screening visit.

6. Uncontrolled diabetes as defined by HbA1c >10 at screening.

7. Uncontrolled hypertension with systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >90 mmHg during screening.

8. Unstable cardiovascular disease or history of myocardial infarction or arterial thromboembolic events within 3 months prior to screening or severe or unstable angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV disease, or a QTc interval >480 msec.

9. Patients on IV medication containing cyclodextrin.

10. Patients on steroids, except for those on low-dose topical steroids (per PI discretion) or intranasal or inhaled steroids.

11. Surgery within the past 3 months prior to the first study drug administration determined by the Investigator to be clinically relevant.

12. Known malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years. Any exceptions must be approved by the Medical Monitor.

a. Note: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ (e.g., breast carcinoma, cervical cancer in situ) that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded.
