Multi-Dose Safety/Pharmacodynamic Study of SEL-212/SEL-037 in Subjects With Symptomatic Gout & Elevated Blood Uric Acid

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2019-01-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is an open label multicenter study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses(3 monthly IV infusions) of SEL-212 ( a combination of pegsiticase( SEL-037) and SVP-rapamycin (SEL-110)) followed by multiple doses (2 monthly IV infusions) of pegsiticase (SEL-037) alone for a total of 5 treatment cycles in subjects with symptomatic gout and hyperuricemia. Additional subjects will be treated with multiple doses( 5 monthly IV infusions) of pegsiticase (SEL-037) alone.

Subjects will be monitored for safety endpoints through the 5th treatment cycle plus 30 days .Pharmacokinetic samples will drawn a pre-determined time points in addition to weekly serum uric acid levels.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

1. ≥ 1 tophus

2. 1 gout flare within the last 6 months

3. Chronic gouty arthropathy

2. Screening serum uric acid of >6ng/dL

3. On a gout flare prophylactic regimen for 7 days prior to first dose

4. Willing to provide written informed consent prior to first study procedure is performed.

5. Understands and is willing and able to comply with study requirements, including the schedule of follow-up visits.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction.

2. History of an allergy to pegylated products.

3. Women of child bearing potential, Defined as:

• Pre or perimenopausal ( < less than 24 months of natural amenorrhea)

4. Initiation or change in dose of hormone-replacement therapy for menopausal women less than 1 month prior to the Screening Visit or during the Screening Phase would be exclusionary. If after being on a stable dose of hormone-replacement therapy for one month the patient may be considered for the study if she continues to meet all other inclusion and exclusion criteria

10. Congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association Class III or IV;

11. ECG with evidence of prior myocardial infarction, clinically significant arrhythmia, or other abnormalities that, in the opinion of the investigator, are consistent with significant underlying cardiac disease;

12. History of hematological or autoimmune disorders, is immunosuppressed or immunocompromised;

13. Prior exposure to any experimental or marketed uricase (e.g., rasburicase (Elitek, Fasturtec), pegloticase (Krystexxa®), pegsiticase (SEL-037)

14. History of malignancy within the last 5 years other than basal skin cancer;

15. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, present with a condition that would compromise their safety or that would make study completion unlikely.
