sPIF CLINICAL STUDY PROTOCOL IN AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to study the safety and tolerability of synthetic PreImplantation Factor (sPIF) in female patients with autoimmune hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease where the patient's immune system produces an inappropriate immune response against their own liver. PreImplantation Factor is a substance that is secreted by viable fetuses during pregnancy. PIF apparently initiates both maternal tolerance preventing the loss/rejection of the fetus. Synthetic PIF (sPIF) successfully translates PIF endogenous properties to pregnant and non-pregnant immune disorders. sPIF was found to be effective in preclinical models of autoimmunity and transplantation (published). Specifically sPIF protected the liver against immune attack. Toxicity studies (mice, dogs) have shown that high-dose sPIF administration for 2 weeks followed by 2 weeks observation period demonstrated a high safety profile. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and the blood level of this synthetic version of this natural compound in the circulation.

Clinical Trial Description

Both sPIF as well as natural PIF appears to orchestrate a complex series of cytokine effects that overall appear to cause return of proper immune function and regulation rather than a nonspecific immune suppression. PIF acts on both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system in a dynamic, diverse and synergetic manner "per need". In the pregnancy setting, PIF maintains basal immunity required for embryo and maternal survival, and aids in tolerance for self by blocking activated T cells proliferation that would otherwise harm the embryo. The activity of PIF appears to have a dual complementary mode of action that is dependent on whether the immune system is in the basal or the stimulated immune state. The sPIF concentrations that were used are in the same range as those that are present in maternal circulation of viable pregnancy. sPIF targets three major intracellular proteins that pivotal in autoimmune control. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
