Phase 2 Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Once Weekly SC Pemziviptadil (PB1046) in Subjects With Symptomatic PAH

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Group, Phase 2 Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Once Weekly Subcutaneous (SC) Injections of a Sustained-Release Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) Analogue, Pemziviptadil (PB1046), in Adult Subjects With Symptomatic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

Summary

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled, Phase 2 study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of pemziviptadil (PB1046) at the optimally titrated dose after 16 weeks of treatment. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to one of two parallel dose groups: a) high-dose group where PB1046 will be up-titrated from a 0.2 mg/kg minimally effective starting dose to a target high dose level of at least 1.2 mg/kg or higher to a maximally tolerated dose (MTD), or b) a low-dose group that will start at 0.2 mg/kg and remain at this minimally effective dose (MED) level with sham up-titration. The total treatment period will be comprised of 2 phases: 1) an initial 10 week dose titration phase in which weekly doses of PB1046 will be titrated (or sham titrated) up to a target dose level of at least 1.2 mg/kg or higher to the MTD, and 2) a maintenance of treatment phase that begins when subjects reach week 11 and continues for 6 weeks during which no further up-titration should occur.

Detailed Description

The primary safety and tolerability objectives will be assessed by investigating the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) as well as changes from baseline in vital signs, laboratory parameters, ECGs and their relationship to pemziviptadil (PB1046). The primary efficacy objective will be assessed by investigating the change in PVR derived from right heart catheterization (RHC). Secondary efficacy objectives will be assessed by investigating the impact of pemziviptadil (PB1046) on change from baseline in 6 minute walk distance (6MWD) test and NT-proBNP, a prognostic biomarker for PAH, in the two groups (comparing the MTD and MED groups) at the end of the treatment period. In addition, the effect of pemziviptadil (PB1046) on other cardiopulmonary hemodynamic parameters (e.g. CI, mPAP, mRAP, wedge pressure and SvO2) as measured by RHC will be assessed. Changes in BDI, HRQoL, and NYHA/WHO (New York Heart Association/World Health Organization) FC will also be assessed. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will periodically assess safety, efficacy and biomarker data to independently assess the overall safety profile of pemziviptadil (PB1046), to help adjudicate potential dose-limiting toxicities, and to monitor the overall benefit risk profile of pemziviptadil (PB1046) during the study. The DSMB will review the safety and tolerability data after the first 10 subjects while recruitment is ongoing.

•Hemodynamic assessment of PAH demonstrating elevated mPAP and PVR as indicated below during the Screening Period: a. mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of ≥ 25 mmHg; and, b. pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) ≥ 400 dyne•sec/cm5; and, c. pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) or left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) of ≤ 12 mmHg if PVR ≥ 400 and \< 500 dynes•sec/cm5; or PCWP/LVEDP ≤ 15 mmHg if PVR ≥ 500 dynes•sec/cm5;
•Body mass index ≥ 18 kg/m2 and ≤ 40 kg/m2 at screening;
•Meet the following criteria determined by pulmonary function tests completed no more than 24 weeks prior to screening: a. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) ≥ 55% of predicted normal, b. FEV1: FVC (forced vital capacity) ratio ≥ 0.60;
•Agrees to use a medically acceptable method of contraception (both male and female patients) throughout the entire study period and continuing for 30 days after their last dose of study drug;
•Stable background medical regimen of up to 3 oral PAH therapies for at least 30 days prior to Screening and having been on PAH therapy for at least 3 months;
•If a subject has historical diagnosis (prior to screening visit) of being positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus (HCV), must be clinically stable and if on therapy, must be on stable therapy for HIV or HCV for at least 3 months; Willing and able to understand and follow instructions; return to the study unit for specified study visits; and able to participate in the study for the entire period.

Exclusion Criteria

•Concomitant medical disorder, condition, or history, that in the opinion of the Investigator would impair the subject's ability to participate in or complete the requirements of the study;
•Concomitant medical disorder that is expected to limit the subject's life-expectancy to ≤ 1 year;
•Pregnant or lactating female subjects;
•First positive result from serology testing at visit 1 (screening labs) for HIV, HBsAg, or HCV prior to randomization;
•Participation in another investigational drug study within 30 days prior to screening or participating in a non-medication study which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the study compliance or outcome assessments;
•Use of chronic subcutaneous prostanoid/prostacyclin therapy for PAH within 30 days prior to screening, including prostacyclin receptor agonists;
•More than mild mitral or aortic valve disease, left ventricular ejection fraction \< 50%, or left ventricular regional wall motion abnormality suggestive of active coronary artery disease on documented 2D-echocardiography occurring within 12 months of Screening;
•Sustained systolic blood pressure (SBP) \< 95 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) \< 50 mmHg (confirmed by a duplicate seated reading) on at least 3 consecutive readings (self-monitored or office) at screening and prior to dosing, or overt symptomatic hypotension;
•Sustained resting heart rate \>110 beats per minute (BPM) (confirmed by duplicate assessments of office vital signs or consecutive ECG assessments) on at least 3 consecutive readings at screening and prior to dosing;
•Clinically significant renal dysfunction at the Screening Visit as measured by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
