Safety Study of TPI-287 to Treat CBS and PSP

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Sequential Cohort, Dose-Ranging Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Preliminary Efficacy of TPI 287 in Patients With Primary Four Repeat Tauopathies: Corticobasal Syndrome or Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability \[maximum tolerated dose (MTD) within planned dosing range\] of intravenous (IV) infusions of TPI 287 administered once every 3 weeks for 9 weeks (for a total of 4 infusions) in patients with primary four repeat tauopathies (4RT), corticobasal syndrome (CBS; also called corticobasal degeneration, CBD) or progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).

Detailed description

The maximum tolerated dose of TPI-287 will be determined through a planned dose escalation over 3 sequential cohorts, each comprising of 11 participants randomized to either TPI-287 or placebo. TPI-287 or placebo will be administered as an intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks for 9 weeks, for a total of 4 infusions. Participants who successfully complete this phase will have the option of entering into the open label extension phase during which TPI-287 will be administered once every 3 weeks for an additional 6 weeks, for a total of 3 extra infusions. The dose of TPI 287 will be escalated in sequential cohorts. In the low dose cohort 11 subjects each diagnosis (i.e., separate dose escalations will be performed for CBS and PSP) will be enrolled. The medium and high dose cohorts will be comprised of 11 subjects; combined CBS and PSPdiagnoses. Subjects will be assigned to cohorts in the order of study entry. Pre-medications of diphenhyramine 25 mg (Benadryl), dexamethasone 10 mg, and famotidine 20 mg (or the H2 blocker ranitidine 50 mg) will be given IV within 60 minutes prior to each study infusion. Safety and tolerability will be assessed through reporting of adverse events, physical and neurological testing, ECGs, as well as blood and urine analyses. Baseline and end-point measures of cognition and function, MRI brain scans, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker analyses will be used to determine preliminary efficacy of TPI-287 in mild-moderate AD. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of TPI-287 will be calculated from blood plasma collected after the first infusion, and from CSF collected on the last visit of the placebo-controlled phase.
