PGL5001 Proof of Concept study in inflammatory endometriosis

A Phase IIa study investigating the efficacy and safety of the c-Jun-N-Terminal Kinase (JNK) inhibitor PGL5001 versus placebo administered for up to 5 months with concomitant administration of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) for the treatment of peritoneal and/or ovarian endometriosis with an inflammatory component, prior to surgery. - JADE

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: To be eligible for inclusion in this study the subjects must not meet any of the following criteria: 1. The Subject is over 40 years old and has a FSH serum level during Day 2-4 of her cycle = 21.5 mIU/ml. 2. The Subject has a positive pregnancy test at baseline or is breast-feeding or planning a pregnancy during the course of the study. 3. The Subject is known for having a cause of chronic abdominal/pelvic pain other than endometriosis (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease, fibromyalgia, interstitial cystitis). 4. The Subject has a history of surgical treatment for endometriosis prior to the study diagnostic laparoscopy. 5. The Subject has a history of or a current uterine, cervical, ovarian or breast cancer. 6. The Subject has undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding. 7. The Subject has a history of or known current osteoporosis. 8. The Subject is requiring urgent surgical excision of endometriotic lesions at the time of first diagnostic laparoscopy. 9. The Subject has a chronic disease or conditions that could modify the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the drug under investigation. 10. The Subject has a history (in the past 12 months) of or a current medical treatment for endometriosis other than NSAID (e.g. GnRH agonist or antagonist, danazole, continuous oral combined oestroprogestogens). 11. The Subject used oral contraceptives and/or progestins for contraception in the past 3 months before the first diagnostic laparoscopy. 12. The Subject has current use of or is likely to require treatment with drugs that are not permitted during the study such as: a. Hormonal treatments b. GnRH-agonists/ antagonists c. Danazole d. Drugs metabolized through CYP2C8 13. The Subject has abnormal hepatic function at study entry, defined as AST, ALT, GGT, alkaline phosphatase or total bilirubin above twice upper limit of normal.

The Subject is unwilling to refrain from sun exposure during the treatment period and for 5 days post last dose. 16. The Subject has abnormal baseline findings or any other medical condition(s), which in the opinion of the investigator, may jeopardise the subject’s safety or decrease the chance of obtaining reliable data. 17. The Subject has a history of, or known current (within twelve months) problems with alcohol or drug abuse. 18. The Subject has psychiatric disturbance or is otherwise unlikely to follow the study procedures. 19. The Subject has participated in another clinical trial within the 30 days prior to the first screening visit. 20. The Subject has an allergy to any of the ingredients of the PGL5001 capsule (see list of ingredients in the investigator’s brochure).

Main Objective: There are no identified primary/main objective as compared to the other objectives in the study, hence the objectives are all listed in the secondary objectives below. ;Secondary Objective: EXPLORATORY EFFICACY OBJECTIVES:•To explore efficacy of PGL5001 with concomitant DMPA administration versus placebo with concomitant DMPA administration in: reducing endometriosis red lesions (and/or inflammatory lesions),reducing non-active endometriosis black lesions,reducing endometriosis associated-adhesions,improving endometriosis-related symptoms such as pain;•To evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD) of PGL5001, establishing the relationship between JNK activity and endometriosis progression by assessing the level of different markers, especially inflammatory markers in the peritoneal fluid, blood and tissue samples (eutopic and ectopic endometrium). For PHARMACOKINETIC OBJECTIVES and SAFETY OBJECTIVES please refer to study protocol, section 2.2 and 2.3.;Primary end point(s): There are no identified primary endpoint in the study. All endpoints are listed in secondary endpoints below.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Not applicable

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): EXPLORATORY EFFICACY ENDPOINTS • Change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) in the number and percentage of red lesions (and/or inflammatory lesions), based on total number of red and black lesions. • Change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) in the number and percentage of black lesions, based on total number of red and black lesions. • Change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) in the number of white lesions. • Change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) in the surface area (mm2) of red lesions. • Change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) in the surface area (mm2) of black lesions. • Change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) in the surface area (mm2) of white lesions. • Change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) in the presence of endometriosis-associated adhesions. • Mean score at end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) for the Surgeon’s Impression of Laparoscopic Change scale. • Mean score at end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) for the Clinical Global Impression of Improvement scale. • Percentage of patients at end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) with a confirmed improvement according to the scale for Surgeon’s Impression of Laparoscopic Change. • Percentage of patients at end of treatment (Week 8 visit for Parts A1 and A2 or Week 20 visit for Part B) with a confirmed improvement according to the scale for Clinical Global Impression of Improvement. • Change from baseline to Week 4 and Week 8
