Summary

This study is a Phase 2a First-in-Human (FIH) clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of multiple ascending doses of CNP-104. The study consists of a 120 day primary study followed by a 20 month long-term safety and durability of response follow-up period.

Description

Subjects ages 18-75 with primary biliary cholangitis will be screened up to 14 days prior to enrollment into the study. Screening will be completed to assess eligibility, obtain vital signs, collect laboratory samples and PD measurements, and to receive a FibroScan for liver fibrosis. Subjects will additionally complete an initial PBC-40 assessment and begin an Itch Diary, a questionnaire and scoring system to be completed by the patient every morning and evening through Day 120 and then monthly through end of study.

Subjects who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria after completing the screening visit will be enrolled in the study. Subjects will be randomized on Day 1 in a 1:1 ratio to receive either CNP-104 or Placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride USP) by intravenous (IV) infusion. Subjects will be administered CNP-104 or Placebo on Day 1 and on Day 8.

Subjects will remain in the clinic on Day 1 and Day 8 from the time of admission (prior to administration of CNP-104 or Placebo) through the final procedure conducted 4 hours post-dose that same day unless an infusion reaction, or other adverse event, requires an extended duration of monitoring. Subjects will be discharged if safety parameters are acceptable to the investigator.

Seven days after the second administration of CNP-104 or Placebo, subjects must return to the clinic for collection of safety labs, PD measurements, and assessment of AEs and medication changes.

Subjects will continue to be followed for 2 years to assess safety, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity during the Post-Dosing period.

Subjects with laboratory test results at screening or prior to study dosing that are outside the normal limits and considered by the Investigator to be clinically significant
Note: This criterion does not apply to liver function tests. Additionally
clinically significant laboratory test results at screening that are related
to the condition (PBC) are acceptable as long as all inclusion and no other
exclusion criteria are met

Subjects with a history of or current active diseases requiring immunosuppressive drugs (including azathioprine, prednisone, prednisolone, budesonide, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, methotrexate, or mycophenolate mofetil) unless the condition, after discussion with the Medical Monitor, has been deemed to be acceptable for the subject's participation in this study
Subjects with a clinical history of significant cardiovascular disease as determined by the Investigator
Subjects with a complication or medical history of malignancy within past 5 years which, in the Investigator's opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for study participation
Subjects who, in the Investigator's opinion, will be unable to adhere to study procedures
Subjects who have received an investigational therapy other than CNP-104 within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening
Subjects with any condition which, in the Investigator's opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for study participation
