A first-in-human study to investigate subcutaneous doses of SAR444559 compared with placebo in healthy adult participants.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1, single centre, First-in-human, two-part study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of single (SAD17442) and multiple (MAD17443) ascending, subcutaneous doses of SAR444559 in healthy adult participants.

Brief summary

This is a parallel, randomized, placebo-controlled, two-part, Phase 1, Investigator- and participant blinded, first-in-human (FIH) study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles, and immunogenicity of single (SAD17442) and multiple (MAD17443) ascending, subcutaneous doses of SAR444559 in male and female healthy participants aged 18 to 55 years. Part 1 – SAD17442: - The study duration per participant will be up to 12 weeks, including screening period. - The treatment duration will be 7 weeks including a 4-day in-house institutionalization period after single dose administration and a follow-up period up to the end of study (EOS) visit. PD is as assessed as exploratory part of the protocol. The number of visits will be 10 ambulatory on-site visits and one 4-day in-house period, and 4 to 5 ambulatory visits to the ophthalmologist. Part 2 – MAD17443: - The study duration per participant will be approximately 16 weeks, including screening period and treatment period of 11 weeks. - The treatment duration will be approximately 11 weeks including 4-day in-house institutionalization periods after each dose administration (3 total doses) and follow-up periods between and after each of the three institutionalizations up to the end of study (EOS) visit. PD is as assessed as exploratory part of the protocol. The number of visits will be 10 ambulatory on-site visits and three 4-day in-house periods, and 4 to 5 ambulatory visits to the ophthalmologist.

Interventions

Part 1: SAR444559: Single dose administration of SAR444559 on Day 1, of approximatively 9 single ascending dose levels. The starting dose will be 0.03 mg. Treatment duration will be 7 weeks, including a 4-day in-house institutionalisation period after single dose administration and a follow-up period up to the end of study (EOS) visit. Mode of administration: Subcutaneous (SC) injection administered by the clinical study site staff in the clinical study center. The dose increment factors for

Treatment duration will be 7 weeks, including a 4-day in-house institutionalisation period after single dose administration and a follow-up period up to the end of study (EOS) visit. Mode of administration: Subcutaneous (SC) injection administered by the clinical study site staff in the clinical study center. The dose increment factors for dose escalation will be based on the observed cell depletion and may be adjusted following emerging safety and tolerability. Part 2: SAR444559: Multiple dose administrations of SAR444559 every 2 weeks (Q2W) on days 1, 15, and 29, of up to 3 ascending repeated dose levels. The starting dose of part 2 will be determined upon review of adverse event, PK and PD data from Part 1 by a safety review committee. The dose increment factors for dose escalation will be based on the observed cell depletion and may be adjusted following emerging safety, tolerability. Treatment duration will be approximately 11 weeks including 4-day in-house institutionalisation periods after each dose administration (3 total doses) and follow-up periods between and after each of the three institutionalizations up to the end of study (EOS) visit. Mode of administration: SC injections administered by the clinical study site staff in the clinical study centre. Participants in part 1 and part 2 are recruited independently, and part 2 will be undertaken in unique participant cohorts. The strategies used to monitor adherence to and/or fidelity of the intervention will include supervised administration at site, appropriate record of each administration information, and double confirmation of the dosing by another member of the study site staff other than the one administrating the study intervention.
