Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of AMP-110 versus placebo | From start of study drug administration through Day 56 | Evaluate number of subjects with dose-limiting toxicities (through Day 14), evaluate number of subjects wtih adverse events (through Day 56), and number of subjects wtih changes from baseline in laboratory values, vital signs, physical exam and electrocardiogram (through Day 56) |
| Determine Maximum Tolerated Dose and/or recommended dose level(s) for future clinical trials | From start of study drug administration through Day 56 | Based on the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities (through Day 14) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate pharmacokinetic profile of a single dose of AMP-110 | From Day 0 pre-dose through Day 28 | Pharmacokinetics evaluated by area under the serum concentration versus time curve (AUC), peak serum concentration (Cmax), and clearance (Cl) of AMP-110 |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assess pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic relationships | From Day 0 pre-dose through Day 56 | Determine if pharmacodynamics effects of AMP-110 on certain cytokine levels and T cell subsets are dependent on serum drug concentrations |
| Evaluate exploratory biomarkers | From start of study drug administration through Day 56 | Blood samples will be analyzed throughout the study to characterize the physiological effects of AMP-110 treatment and to determine markers that correlate with response to treatment |
