Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: safety and tolerability ;Secondary Objective: pharmacokinetics of PPSGG after single and multiple intravenous administrations, pharmacodynamics, preliminary efficacy;Primary end point(s): Assessment of safety based on vital signs, physical examination, ECGs, laboratory assessments, Signs of infusion-related reactions, including clinical signs and symptoms, changes in diastolic or systolic blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and skin reactions or local reactions at the infusion site and collection of AEs assessed from baseline until the end of the study visit. Presence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) will also be investigated;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ECG: 1-lead during infusions, 12-lead predose, 1h, 2h, 8h post dose and EOS during SAD and during MAD on infusion days (Day 1-7, 8, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 56), 70, 98, EOS. The same days for vital signs Safety lab: SAD: SCR, baseline, Day 8, EOS Safety lab: MAD: SCR, baseline, Day 8, 28, 42, 98, EOS.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): PK: Non-compartmental parameters related to PPSGG, including but not limited to Tmax, Cmax, as well as trough (pre-dose) levels after multiple dose, PD: Reduction of anti-MAG antibodies (Anti-MAG IgM Titers (BTU), Paraprotein levels (g/l) and total IgM (g/L) Time to anti-MAG IgM rebound (time until antibody levels are reach individual pre-treatment /baseline levels again), Paraprotein levels (g/L), Total IgM levels (g/L), Anti-human natural killer-1 (HNK-1) titers, preliminary efficacy: Change in ONLS score, Time to walk 10 meters, RODS, Ataxia score, Modified ISS, exploratory endpoint and in selected sites only), Grip Strength;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PK during infusion day in SAD and in MAD only on infusion days 1, 3, 5, 42: 30, 60min, 2, 6, 8 h. PK and PD on Day 1, 2, 4, 8, 14 and EoS during SAD and on Day 1-5,8,14,21,28,35,42,56,70, EOS and FU during MAD Scores: for SAD: SCR, D14, EOS and Day 42 (FU) for MAD: SCR, Day 14, 42, 98, EOS and 180
