Celiac Disease | Drug: Cohort 1 in Part A Drug: Cohort 2 in Part A Other: Placebo: Group 1 in Part B Drug: Group 2 in Part B Drug: Group 3 in Part B Drug: Group 4 in Part B | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
The study is a 2-part, multicenter Phase 1b/2 study of KAN-101 in participants with Celiac Disease (CeD) on a gluten free diet (GFD). The 2 parts include:
- Part A - Open-label, multiple ascending dose
- Part B - Double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design
Part A is a Phase 1b, open-label, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study design to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of KAN-101 in adult participants (18 to 70 years inclusive) with histology-confirmed CeD. Up to 12 participants who meet study inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive 1 of 2 dose levels of KAN-101. The overall study duration will be about 56 days, including up to 28 days of screening, 7 days of treatment and 21 days of follow up. There will be a gluten challenge test (GC) on Day 15.
Part B is a Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design study to characterize the biomarker response following GC, safety, tolerability, and PK of KAN-101 in adult participants with histology-confirmed CeD. 120 participants (30 participants per dose group) will be randomized 1:1:1:1 and stratified by participation in a biopsy substudy to 4 treatment groups: placebo and 3 treatment groups with KAN-101 doses based on information obtained from Part A.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 132 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Part A: This part of the study is an open label with up to 6 participants in each dose cohort. There will be 2 dose cohorts. Part B: This part of the study has a randomized, double- blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel study design. |
Masking: | Triple (Participant, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | Part A is open label Part B is a double-blinded study. Study participants and their caregivers, investigators and other site staff, and sponsor staff involved in the study team will be blinded. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase 1B Open-label/Phase 2 Double-blind Placebo- Controlled Study for Pharmacodynamic (PD) Activity, Pharmacokinetics (PK), Safety, and Tolerability of KAN-101 In Patients With Celiac Disease (CeD) |
