Phase Ib Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Escalation Study of Polyphenon E in Patients with Barrett's Esophagus.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of the green tea-derived Polyphenon E (Poly E) in patients with Barrett's Esophagus (BE). Subjects were randomized to a 6-month, twice daily (BID) oral treatment of placebo or Poly E (200, 400, or 600 mg). Endoscopic evaluation, including biopsies, was performed before and after treatment. The primary objective was to demonstrate safety; secondary objectives investigated catechin accumulation and effects in clinical specimens. Of the 44 enrolled subjects, 11 received placebo, and 33 received Poly E. No dose-limiting toxicities were encountered, and a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached. The recommended phase II dose was 600 mg twice daily. The most common treatment-related adverse events (AE) in Poly E-treated subjects were grade I and II nausea, grade I belching, and grade I lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) elevation. No treatment-related AEs were reported in placebo-treated subjects, aside from grade I laboratory abnormalities. Pill counts and subject diaries were not consistently collected, and compliance was difficult to determine. However, on the basis of an intention-to-treat analysis, there was a significant relationship between Poly E dose and esophageal EGCG level--mean changes (pmol/g) of 0.79 (placebo), 6.06 (200 mg), 35.67 (400 mg), and 34.95 (600 mg); P = 0.005. There was a possible relationship between Poly E dose and urine PGE-M concentration. In conclusion, Poly E was well-tolerated, and treatment with Poly E (400 and 600 mg) but not Poly E (200 mg) or placebo resulted in clinically relevant and detectable EGCG accumulation in the target organ, esophageal mucosa.

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and induced expression of skin biomarkers of AK111 injection after multiple administrations in subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.MethodsThis study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-parallel-controlled study using a dose escalation mode of multiple doses. A total of 48 subjects were sequentially randomized to receive each AK111 dose regimen (75 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg, 450 mg) or the corresponding placebo. All subjects were treated with the study drug at weeks 0, 1, 4, and 8 and were unblinded at week 12, with the placebo group ending and the AK111 group being followed up to 20 weeks.ResultsAt week 12, compared with placebo, the percentage of subjects achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI75) and static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) 0/1 in the AK111 75 mg-450 mg dose groups was significantly increased, and higher PASI90 was achieved in the 150 mg, 300 mg, and 450 mg dose groups than in the 75 mg group. All efficacy indicators were maintained at week 20. The incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) was 0% (0/48). Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) were not detected in any subject. The proportion of subjects who reported any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was 75.0% in the AK111 group, similar to the 66.7% in the placebo group. The most commonly reported adverse events were hyperglycemia, elevated blood pressure, and hypokalemia. The AK111 pharmacokinetics showed approximate dose proportionality with regard to the maximum observed concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve from 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) following subcutaneous injection doses of 150-450 mg.ConclusionsAfter moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis subjects received multiple subcutaneous AK111 injections of 150-450 mg, AK111 exposure increased in a roughly dose-proportional relationship. AK111 was safe and tolerable. In subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, AK111 demonstrated encouraging preliminary efficacy, which was sustained for a relatively long time after the last dose administration.Clinical trial registrationThe clinical trial identification number is NCT05504317.

Project description:An intranasal COVID-19 vaccine, DelNS1-based RBD vaccines composed of H1N1 subtype (DelNS1-nCoV-RBD LAIV) was developed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity in healthy adults. We conducted a phase 1 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study on healthy participants, age 18-55 and COVID-19 vaccines naïve, between March and September 2021. Participants were enrolled and randomly assigned (2:2:1) into the low and high dose DelNS1-nCoV-RBD LAIV manufactured in chicken embryonated eggs or placebo groups. The low and high-dose vaccine were composed of 1 × 107 EID50/ dose and 1 × 107.7 EID50/ dose in 0.2 mL respectively. The placebo vaccine was composed of inert excipients/dose in 0.2 mL. Recruited participants were administered the vaccine intranasally on day 0 and day 28. The primary end-point was the safety of the vaccine. The secondary endpoints included cellular, humoral, and mucosal immune responses post-vaccination at pre-specified time-points. The cellular response was measured by the T-cell ELISpot assay. The humoral response was measured by the serum anti-RBD IgG and live-virus neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2. The saliva total Ig antibody responses in mucosal secretion against SARS-CoV-2 RBD was also assessed. Twenty-nine healthy Chinese participants were vaccinated (low-dose: 11; high-dose: 12 and placebo: 6). The median age was 26 years. Twenty participants (69%) were male. No participant was discontinued due to an adverse event or COVID-19 infection during the clinical trial. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events (p = 0.620). For the T-cell response elicited after full vaccination, the positive PBMC in the high-dose group increased to 12.5 SFU/106 PMBC (day 42) from 0 (baseline), while it increased to 5 SFU/106 PBMC (day 42) from 2.5 SFU/106 PBMC (baseline) in the placebo group. The high-dose group showed a slightly higher level of mucosal Ig than the control group after receiving two doses of the vaccine (day 31, 0.24 vs. 0.21, p = 0.046; day 56 0.31 vs. 0.15, p = 0.45). There was no difference in the T-cell and saliva Ig response between the low-dose and placebo groups. The serum anti-RBD IgG and live virus neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 were undetectable in all samples. The high-dose intranasal DelNS1-nCoV-RBD LAIV is safe with moderate mucosal immunogenicity. A phase-2 booster trial with a two-dose regimen of the high-dose intranasal DelNS1-nCoV-RBD LAIV is warranted.
