Study Summary

Several lines of evidence place TGF-β, a potent pro-fibrotic cytokine, at the centre of the pathogenesis of Systemic Sclerosis (SSC). AVID200 is a novel inhibitor of TGF-β ligands. This Phase 1 trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of AVID200 in SSc patients in order delineate doses to be further evaluated in Phase 2. Approximately 9 to 24 male and female patients with documented SSc (i.e., score ≥ 9 according to the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria), and classified as having the diffuse cutaneous SSs (dcSSc) subset (i.e., according to the LeRoy and Medsger Classification), will be entered into this Phase 1a, multicentre, open-label, dose-escalation, cohort study of AVID200.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Dose escalationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Sequential escalating doses of AVID200 when administered once every 2 weeks (Q2W) by 1-hour intravenous (IV) infusion to patient cohorts with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc). Each 2-week dosing period equals 1 cycle; patients may receive up to 3 cycles of AVID200 (i.e., dosing on D1, 15, and 29 of overall 6 week treatment period).
