Gout Tophus Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Exploratory Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK), Pharmacodynamics (PD), Immunogenicity, and Preliminary Efficacy of WTX221 Infusion in Patients With Refractory Gout
This trial is a single-center, open-label designed investigator-initiated clinical study (IIT) to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of multiple doses of WTX221 infusion combined with a single dose of the immunosuppressive agent cyclophosphamide (CTX) to induce immune tolerance. The trial consisted of a Screening Period (14 days), a First Dose Period (30 days), a Second Dose Period (30 days), and a Safety Follow-up Period (150 days) for a total of 224 days.
Refractory gout is usually associated with persistently swollen and tender joints, chronic pain, reduced functional status, impaired quality of life, and joint destruction，most of the patients can't tolerate urate-lowering therapy(ULT)or receive adequate dose of ULT treatment recommended to control Serum uric acid (SUA) to target level. WTX221 is designed to induce antigen-specific immune tolerance. WTX221 is made of urate oxidase(UOX) molecules conjugated on the surface of Red blood cells(RBCs), which can induce antigen-specific immune tolerance to UOX in vivo by making use of it's natural biologic characteristics. WTX221 infusion combined with a single dose CTX to induce immune tolerance. The trial consisted of a Screening Period (14 days), a First Dose Period (30 days), a Second Dose Period (30 days), and a Safety Follow-up Period (150 days) for a total of 224 days. ;
