Study to Assess PK, Safety and Tolerability in Patients With DM and CKD

A Multi-Center Open-label Investigation to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of DM199 in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Kidney Disease

An open-label, phase IB, multi-center study evaluating DM199 in subjects with Type 1 Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes and Stage 3 or 4 Chronic Kidney Disease. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate safety, tolerability, and PK profile of DM199 in these subjects.

The study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of DM199 in subjects with T1D or T2D and with Stage 3 or Stage 4 CKD. Additionally, this study evaluates urine concentrations of KLK1 pre and post dose.

Cohort 1: Subjects with T1D or T2D and Stage 3 CKD will be administered one of three DM199 doses: 3.0 ug/kg or 5.0 ug/kg or 8.0 ug/kg single SC dose. Cohort 2: Subjects with T1D or T2D and Stage 4 CKD will be administered a single 3.0 µg/kg single SC dose. Secondary and exploratory study objectives include collection and analysis of vital signs, biomarkers, eGFR, blood glucose, and ECG's.

• Subject has an active infection at the time of enrollment, and/or a history of clinically significant acute bacterial, viral, or fungal systemic infections that required systemic treatment in the last four weeks prior to enrollment.

• Subject has known medical history of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (α1-antitrypsin deficiency).

• Subject has serological evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or anti-hepatitis C virus (Anti-HCV) at screen.

• Subject is pregnant or nursing or is planning a pregnancy during the study period.

• Subject is male or female of childbearing potential, is participating in sexual activity that could lead to pregnancy and is unable or unwilling to practice medically effective contraception during the study.

• Subject has Proteinuria: PCR>2000mg/gm (spot testing).

• Subject does not have adequate venous access for blood sampling.

• Subject has any other medical condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, will make participation medically unsafe or interfere with the study results.

• Subject has any other clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test results at screening that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, increase the subject's risk of participation, jeopardize complete participation in the study, or compromise interpretation of study data.

• Subject has any of the following conditions as determined by ECG or medical record:

  • Any significant arrhythmia or conduction abnormality, which, in the opinion of the Investigators and Medical Monitor, may interfere with the safety of the subject.

• Subject is taking Cimetidine, St. John's Wort, or any other herbal or probiotic supplement.
