Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: •To investigate the efficacy of multiple doses of NI 0801 on hepatic function;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of NI-0801 in PBC patients •To characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of multiple doses of NI 0801;Primary end point(s): Change in liver enzyme measurements from baseline to Week 12 (SD85);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 12 (SD85) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): PBC-related exploratory assessments • Biochemical markers of liver function • Mayo risk score (MRS) • Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) with Transient Elastography (Fibroscan™) • Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test • Quality-of-Life assessment: PBC-40 Pharmacokinetic characterisation Pharmacodynamic measurements • The evolution over time of total circulating CXCL10 levels will be measured Extent of the NI 0801 inhibition on CXCL10 chemotactic activity by in vitro chemotaxis • Serum cytokines and chemokines • FACS analysis for the quantification of leukocytes and subsets and CXCR3 expression on these subsets Safety and tolerability • All emerging AEs • The number of subjects withdrawing from the study for safety relatedreasons • Vital signs and any changes revealed by medical examination. • Laboratory abnormalities in Safety Hematology parameters, Safety Blood Chemistry parameters and Urinalysis parameters Immunogenicity • The presence of anti-drug antibodies;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ELF, Fibroscan, PBC-40: SD1, SD85, W18 PK, blood samples: SD1, SD5, SD15, SD29, SD43, SD57, SD71, SD75, SD85, W18, W24 Chemokines/cytokines: SD1, SD5, SD15, SD29, SD43, SD57, SD71, SD75, SD85, W18, W24 FACS: SD1, SD85 Immunogenicity: SD1, SD15, SD29, SD43, SD57, SD71, W24 Vital signs, hematology and biochemistry blood samples, AEs recording & concomittant medications: SD1, SD5, SD15, SD29, SD43, SD57, SD71, SD75, SD85, W18, W24 | — |
