Study Summary

This is a phase II, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo parallel-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HB0034 in patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) presenting with an acute flare of moderate to severe intensity.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must be experiencing an acute GPP flare of moderate-to-severe intensity atbaseline, defined as:
  1. A Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Physician Global Assessment (GPPGA) score of ≥ 3;

  2. New appearance or worsening of existing pustules, and a GPPGA pustulationsubscore of ≥ 2;

  3. ≥ 5% Body Surface Area (BSA) covered with pustules.

  • Men and women of reproductive age who have no parenting plans and are willing to usereliable contraception during the study period and for 6 months after the last doseof the study drug;

  • Patients who fully understand and voluntarily sign an ICF, and are willing and ableto follow clinical study and subsequent visit schedules.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Drug-triggered acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP);

  • Synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis syndrome (SAPHO);

  • Other active inflammatory or autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment withimmunosuppressants, including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis (RA),psoriatic arthritis (PsA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), inflammatory boweldisease, and uveitis.

  • Patients with an increased risk of infectious complications as assessed by theinvestigator (e.g., a recent suppurative infection, any congenital or acquiredimmunodeficiency, such as HIV infection, prior organ or stem cell transplantation);

  • Patients who have received a live vaccine or investigational live vaccine within 6weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug, or plan to receive a live vaccineor participate in a clinical study of investigational live vaccine during the studyperiod or within 6 weeks after completion of administration of the study drug;

  • Patients who have had a serious trauma or undergone a major surgery within 1 monthprior to the first dose of the study drug, or plan to undergo any elective surgeryduring the study period;

  • Patients with documented active or suspected malignancy or a history of malignancywithin 5 years prior to screening;

  • Patients with a history of severe allergy, who have experienced grade 3-4 allergicreactions when receiving other monoclonal antibodies, or those who are known to havehypersensitivity to protein drugs, recombinant proteins, or HB0034 components;

  • Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those who have a positive pregnancytest result. Breastfeeding female subjects who stop breastfeeding prior to the firstdose of the study drug until 16 weeks after the end of the trial will not beexcluded;

  • Patients who are currently participating in clinical trials or have participated inclinical trials of any drug/device within 30 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever islonger) prior to the first dose of the study drug;

  • Patients expected to have poor compliance, such as those who are uncooperative, failto receive follow-up on time, and are unlikely to complete the study;

  • Other reasons that the investigator considers it is inappropriate to participate inthe study.

Study Description

GPP patients who are experiencing an acute flare will be screened. Before randomization, the investigator must ensure that the subjects meet all inclusion criteria and do not meet any exclusion criteria.

Subjects will be given a single intravenous infusion of HB0034 or placebo (2:1) on D1 and be hospitalized for at least 8 days after administration of the study drug (including Day 1 for administration). Thereafter, the decision of the patient's discharge will be left at the discretion of the investigator and based on the evolution of the GPP flare and the patient's health status.

Subjects will be followed up to W12-W20.
