Phase 1 Study Assessing the Pharmacokinetics of NEX-22A in Subjects With T2D

Nanexa AB12 enrolled

Overview

The purpose with the study is to assess pharmacokinetics of NEX-22A in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The trial is a single-centre, open-label, single ascending dose study. After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients given written informed consent will undergo a screening to determine eligibility for study entry. Each subject will be enrolled in one of the three sequential cohorts, comprising one single dose of NEX-22A liraglutide injection. Each cohort will have a sentinel participant. NEX-22A will be administered in sequential cohorts. Before initiating a new dose cohort, safety, tolerability and PK data for all treated subjects must have been reviewed by the dose escalation committee. Blood samples for PK analysis will be withdrawn at specified timepoints over a period of 36 days

(Presence of hepatitis C antibodies will not lead to exclusion if liver function tests are normal and a hepatitis C polymerase chain reaction is negative). 24. Positive result to the test for HIV-1/2 antibodies or HIV-1 antigen. 25. Any medication (prescription and non-prescription drugs) within 14 days before IMP administration and/or anticoagulant therapy. 26. Blood donation or blood loss of more than 500 mL within the last 3 months. 27. Mental incapacity, unwillingness or language barriers precluding adequate understanding or co-operation. 28.

The investigator considers a subject as unsuitable for inclusion in the trial for any other reason. Explanatory note on Exclusion Criterion 25: Exceptions are stable doses of metformin, SGLT2-blockers, low dose aspirin, antihypertensives, statins, thyroid hormones or occasional use of paracetamol or ibuprofen, and ,if female, with the exception of menopausal hormone replacement therapy. Explanatory note on Exclusion Criterion 29: A woman is considered of childbearing potential following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile due to hysterectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause.
