NCT05003804

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1b/2, randomized, double-blind, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical efficacy of STMC-103H in neonates and infants at risk for developing allergic disease (Type 1 hypersensitivity). Subjects will be enrolled in a three-part sequential approach. Participants in the safety-run portion of the study (Part A1: 1 year to \<6 years of age and A2: 1 month to \<12 months of age) will receive 28 days of treatment with STMC-103H or placebo, followed by 28 days of follow-up. A Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) will review safety data after all patients in each part complete 28 days of therapy prior to enrolling the next part. After A2, Part B will enroll 224 patients for 336 days of treatment with STMC-103H or placebo, followed by 336 days of follow-up. Stool, blood, and optional samples will be collected in Parts A2 and part B. Primary safety endpoints are frequency, type and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), as well as findings on physical exams, vitals, and safety laboratories. The primary efficacy endpoint is incidence of physician-diagnosed atopic dermatitis at day 336.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Part A1 and A2: Assess safety and tolerability of STMC-103H in children and infants at risk for development of allergic disease by assessing adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE), and AEs of special interest

    Frequency, type, and severity of AEs and SAEs, including AEs of special interest (AESI) as in Appendix 9 (Adverse Events of Special Interest) and Appendix 10 (Adverse Event Grading Scale)

    Through 56 days of study

  • Part B: Assess the safety, tolerability of STMC-103H in neonate and infants subjects at risk for development of atopic disease by monitoring AEs, SAEs, AESI, physical exam findings, and clinical safety laboratories.

    Frequency, type and severity of AEs, SAEs, and AESIs as in Appendix 9 (Adverse Events of Special Interest) and Appendix 10 (Adverse Event Grading Scale), as well as clinically significant findings on physical examinations including growth (length, weight, height and head circumference) and vital signs (RR, HR, and temperature); clinical safety laboratories including complete blood count with manual differential and blood chemistry

    Through 672 days of study

  • Part B: Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Incidence of physician-diagnosed atopic dermatitis at 336 days

    Incidence of physician-diagnosed atopic dermatitis at 336 days in STMC-103H-treated subjects compared to placebo

    Day 336

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Part B Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - physician-diagnosed atopic dermatitis

  • Part B - Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - atopic disease assessments

    At days 168, 336 and 672

  • Part B Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - incidence of food allergy, allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, urticaria, and wheezing illness/asthma

    At days 168, 336, and 672

  • Part B Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - Time to atopic dermatitis diagnosis

    Through 672 days of study

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Part B Key Exploratory Endpoint - Mean fecal concentration of 12,13-diHOME

    At day 336
