About this study

Official title: Safety, Tolerability and Activity of BIVV009 in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Complement-mediated Disorders. A Single/Multiple Ascending Dose Phase 1 Study.

Prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled First-In-Human study with four sub-parts: Part A, a single ascending dose study (SAD) in normal human volunteers (NHVs), Part B, a multiple ascending dose study (MAD) in NHVs, Part C, a multiple dose (MD) study in patients with a complement-mediated disorder, and Part E, a multiple dose (MD) study in patients with cold agglutinin disease previously treated with BIVV009 within the scope of a BIVV009 clinical trial or named patient program use. Note: For parts A-C as well as at the start of part E, study drug was named TNT009. The study drug name is changed to BIVV009 with final version Final 15.0 of the clinical study protocol.

Read the detailed description

Study TNT009-01 (parts A-C)/ BIVV009 (part E) is a First in Human (FIH) study that uses an Integrated Protocol Design. This Phase 1 study protocol will comprise three sub-parts: a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study in normal male and female human volunteers (NHVs), and a Multiple Dose (MD) study in patients with various complement-mediated disorders not confined to a single disease or therapeutic area. Although these patients represent a population with a diverse set of clinical diagnoses they are united by a common mechanism of disease matched to the mechanism of action of BIV009. Several key safety measures have been incorporated into the design of this study, including use of Sentinel Dosing Groups and an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), as well as an appropriate program of prophylactic vaccinations and clinical biomarker surveillance related to the risks potentially associated with inhibition of the complement system. To allow access of BIVV009 to CAD patients where successful treatment effect has been observed and to allow re-initiation of BIVV009 to previously treated CAD patients, Part E has been added to both continued access to study drug in this subset of study patients, and to further characterize the safety and efficacy to BIVV009.

Patients who weigh less than 75 kg will receive fixed doses of 6.5 grams of BIVV009; patients who weigh 75 kg or more will receive fixed doses of 7.5 grams of BIVV009. Dose will be increased from 6.5g to 7.5g dose level if patients current weight is >= 75 kg and there is evidence of hematologic breakthrough OR patients current weight is >= 75 kg and there has been at least a 10 percent increase from the patients last recorded weight. Dose will be decreased from 7.5g to 6.5g for patients whose last weight was >= 75 kg and current weight decreased to < 75 kg. Dose decrease will require Sponsor approval.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIV009 in people with Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) and Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD), run by Bioverativ, a Sanofi company at 1 site in Austria.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 44 inclusion and 37 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Drug-related Adverse Event profile of BIVV009 (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02502903, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Apr 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
