Clinical Trial Summary

This open-label, dose-response study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of CM4620-IE in patients with acute pancreatitis and accompanying SIRS. The study will consist of two phases. The first phase will consist of 4 female and 4 male patients (cohorts 1 and 2, respectively), enrolled concurrently, randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive CM4620-IE plus standard of care versus standard of care alone. Planned doses for first phase will be CM4620-IE 1.0 mg/kg on Day 1 and then 1.4 mg/kg on Days 2 - 4.

The second phase will consist of 8 female and 8 male patients (cohorts 3 and 4, respectively), enrolled concurrently, randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive CM4620-IE plus standard of care versus standard of care alone. Planned doses for second phase will be CM4620-IE 2.08 mg/kg on Days 1 and 2 and then 1.6 mg/kg on Days 3 and 4. Dose escalation to second phase would only occur if needed for efficacy reasons and if no events suggesting a safety signal would occur with higher dosing.

The study is not powered for the analysis of study data with inferential statisitcs as the primary purpose of the study is to explore what endpoints would be most appropriate for future trials.

Description:

After review of the efficacy, tolerability and safety data from cohorts 1 and 2 by the sponsor and the United States Food and Drug Administration, the decision was made to continue the low-dose regimen (CM4620-IE 1.0 mg/kg on Day 1 and then 1.4 mg/kg on Days 2 - 4) in cohort 3. Cohort 4 received the high-dose regimen (CM4620-IE 2.08 mg/kg on Days 1 and 2 and then 1.6 mg/kg on Days 3 and 4) as planned. Efficacy analysis were combined because no dose escalation occurred in cohort 3.

Patients were followed for 90 days after randomization.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The Safety and Tolerability of CM4620-IE in Patients With Acute Pancreatitis and Accompanying Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) or Hypoxemia.	Safety and tolerability will be assessed by monitoring the frequency, duration and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) throughout the study period.	90 Days
Secondary	The Number of Patients With a Change in Computed Tomography Severity Index (CTSI) Score Between Screening and Day 5 (or Discharge, if Earlier)	CTSI score measures abnormal pancreatic morphology and is the sum of two subscales. The Balthazar subscale rates pancreatic CT image findings on a scale of 0 (normal) to 4 (2 or more peri-pancreatic fluid collections. The Pancreatic Necrosis subscale rates pancreatic necrosis from 0 (none) to 6 (>50%). The two subscales are summed for a CTSI score of 0-3 (mild AP), 4-6 (moderate AP), and 7-10 (severe AP).	5 days (or discharge, if earlier)
Secondary	The Number of Patients Tolerating Solid Food	Defined as eating = 50% of a solid meal without vomiting or an increase in pain	at 72 hours (or discharge, if earlier)
Secondary	The Number of Patients Tolerating Solid Food	Defined as eating = 50% of a solid meal without vomiting or an increase in pain	at Day 10 (or discharge, if earlier)
Secondary	Percentage of Patients With Persistent Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)	The presence of SIRS was defined as the presence of at least 2 of the following 4 criteria: Temperature < 36°C or > 38°C; Heart rate > 90 beats/minute; Respiratory rate > 20 breaths/minute or arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) < 32 mmHg; White blood cell count (WBC) > 12,000 cells/mm3 or < 4,000 cells/mm3 or > 10% immature (band) forms.; The SIRS score was determined at Screening, prior to randomization, and every 12 hours until Day 6, after which it was determined every 24 hours.	= 48 hours
Secondary	IL-6 Values in Patients With a Maximum IL-6 Value = 150 pg/mL in the First 24 Hours	Assess blood serum samples to be analyzed for interleuken (IL-6) llevels pg/mL collected in the first 24 hours and daily thereafter. Samples were sent to the central laboratory. The results were not provided to the Principal Investigator or treating physician.	Day 10 (or discharge, if earlier)
Secondary	Median Days in Hospital	Length of stay in hospital in days (randomization to discharge)	discharge
