About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, and Multi-center Clinical Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Anti-Human CD38 Monoclonal Antibody CM313 in the Treatment of Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM313 in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia in patients who have failed glucocorticoid therapy.

Read the detailed description

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease, which is characterized by decreased platelet count and skin and mucosal bleeding. ITP is a kind of disease with increased platelet destruction and impaired platelet production caused by autoimmunity. Conventional treatment of adult ITP includes first-line glucocorticoid and immunoglobulin therapy, second line TPO and TPO receptor agonist, splenectomy and other immunosuppressive treatments (such as rituximab, vincristine, azathioprine, etc.). ITP is one of the most common hemorrhagic diseases. At present, the treatment response of ITP is not good, and a considerable number of patients need drug maintenance treatment, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and increases the economic burden of patients. Therefore, there is still a lack of effective treatment for adult ITP, especially for recurrent and refractory ITP patients, which is one of the problems that have attracted more attention and need to be solved urgently.

The main pathogenesis of ITP is the loss of platelet autoantigen immune tolerance, which leads to abnormal activation of humoral and cellular immunity. It is characterized by antibody mediated platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production by megakaryocytes. The residual long-term autoreactive plasma cells may be a source of therapeutic resistance to autoimmune cytopenia. Antiplatelet specific plasma cells have been detected in the spleen of patients with rituximab refractory ITP. Therefore, the strategy of simply eliminating B cells may not work, because LLPC will continue to produce pathogenic antibodies. However, targeting LLPC becomes a new strategy to treat autoimmune diseases.

CM313, a kind of anti-CD38 antibody, is a new type of monoclonal antibody targeting CD38. It targets plasma cells and has carried out some clinical studies in multiple myeloma, with good therapeutic effects. In addition, the clinical trials of similar CD38 monoclonal antibody drugs, such as daratumumab, in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including membranous nephropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and ITP, are also being carried out simultaneously. We assume that autologous reaction LLPC may be the cause of treatment failure in some ITP patients. Therefore, the use of CD38 monoclonal antibody to clear long-term surviving plasma cells in ITP patients may be a new strategy for treating ITP patients.

Therefore, the investigators designed this clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM313 in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia in patients who have failed glucocorticoid therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CM313 InjectionDrug

    Intravenous CM313 administration

    This study adopts a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design method. A total of 45 subjects were randomly assigned to experimental group (CM313, n = 30) and placebo comparator group (Placebo, n = 15) at a ratio of 2:1. Subjects assigned to experimental group were treated with CD38 monoclonal antibody (CM313: 16mg/kg/w) for 8 weeks.

    The first stage is the main research stage (d1-w8), which is the core treatment period. The subjects will receive intravenous infusion of 16mg/kg CM313 once a week for 8 weeks to observe the efficacy and safety during treatment.

    The second stage (w9-w24) is the stage of withdrawal from the visit, mainly to observe the safety and continuous efficacy of CM313 after treatment.

  • Placebo InjectionDrug

    Intravenous Placebo administration

    This study adopts a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design method. A total of 45 subjects were randomly assigned to experimental group (CM313, n = 30) and placebo comparator group (Placebo, n = 15) at a ratio of 2:1. Subjects assigned to placebo comparator group were treated with placebo of CM313 once a week for 8 weeks.

    The first stage is the main research stage (d1-w8), which is the core treatment period. The subjects will receive intravenous infusion of placebo of CM313 once a week for 8 weeks to observe the efficacy and safety during treatment.

    The second stage (w9-w24) is the stage of withdrawal from the visit, mainly to observe the safety and continuous efficacy after placebo administration.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Evaluation of the efficacy after CM313/Placebo treatment at week 8 (time frame: 8 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 NCT06199089, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
