NCT03257462

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter Phase 2, multiple dose, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of SPR001 in adult patients with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Safety of SPR001 in Patients With CAH

    Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events, changes from Baseline to End-of-study in clinical laboratory parameters, physical examination findings, vital signs, ECG parameters

    6 weeks

  • Change in 17-hydroxyprogesterone

    Change in 17-hydroxyprogesterone from Baseline to End-of-study. Results are expressed as mean percent change from baseline. Reductions in 17-OHP are indicators of better disease control.

    Cohort A: Baseline/2a (Day -1-0), First dose/2b (Day 0-1), Visit 3 (Day 13-14), Visit 4 (Day 27-28), Visit 5 (Day 41-42). Cohort B and Cohort C: Visit 2 (Day 0-1), Visit 3 (Day 8), Visit 4 (Day 14-15), Visit 5 (Last dose +30d)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Changes in Pharmacodynamic (PD) Markers

    Cohort A: Visit 2a (Day -1 to 0), Visit 2b (Days 0-1), Visit 3 (Day 13-14), Visit 4 (Day 27-28), Visit 5 (Day 41 to 42). Cohorts B+C: Visit 2 (Day 0-1), Visit 3 (Day 8), Visit 4 (Day 27-28), Visit 5 (+30 days after last dose)

  • Pharmacokinetic Parameter - Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Serial PK sampling was performed at the end of the 2 weeks for all cohorts and dose levels

  • Pharmacokinetic Parameter - Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC)

    For Cohort A, serial blood collections were made for PK measurements on Day 1 for 200 mg SD and at Week 2 for all QD dose levels. In Cohorts B and C, serial blood samples were drawn for PK measurements at the end of the 2-week treatment period.

Study Arms (3)

Cohort A

EXPERIMENTAL

The first cohort of 9 patients will be administered SPR001 at dose strength of Dose A daily for 2 weeks, and escalating through Dose B per day for 2 weeks and Dose C per day for 2 weeks.

Drug: SPR001

Cohort B

EXPERIMENTAL

Cohort B will begin enrollment after Cohort A has been fully enrolled. Starting dose selection and the stepwise dosing paradigm for Cohort B will be determined by an interim review of safety and PK/PD data from from Cohort A.

Drug: SPR001

Cohort C

EXPERIMENTAL

Cohort C will begin enrollment after Cohort B has been fully enrolled. Starting dose selection and the stepwise dosing paradigm for Cohort C will be determined by an interim review of safety and PK/PD data from from Cohort A and B.

Drug: SPR001
