A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CBP-201 in Chinese Adult Subjects With Moderate to Severe AD

A Multi-Center, Single-Arm, Open-Label Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CBP-201 in Chinese Adult Subjects With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis

This study is a single-arm, open-label, multi-center clinical study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of CBP-201 in eligible subjects with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis.

The study includes a screening period, a treatment period and a follow-up period.

The subjects will receive a subcutaneous injection of CBP-201 600 mg (4 mL in total, 2 injections of 2 mL each in different sites) on Day1, begin to receive a subcutaneous injection of CBP-201 300 mg (2 mL) from Week2, and receive CBP-201 300 mg (2 mL) every 2 weeks thereafter until Week10.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. 18 ≤ age ≤ 75 years at the screening visit, male or female.

2. Diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (according to the American Academy of Dermatology's Guidelines of care for the management of atopic dermatitis, 2014[1]) at the time of screening, and meeting all the 4 criteria below:

   1. Suffering from the disease for more than 1 year at the time of screening;
   2. At the screening and baseline visit, IGA score ≥ 3 (according to the validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis [vIGA-AD™] scale);
   3. EASI score ≥ 12;
   4. Percentage of total BSA affected by AD ≥ 10%.

3. Female subjects of childbearing potential (FCBP) and male subjects who have not undergone vasectomy must agree to take highly effective contraceptive measures during the entire study period (from the signing of informed consent forms (ICFs) to the 8-week follow-up period after discontinuation of study drug). Postmenopausal women (determined by testing follicle stimulating hormone [FSH]; defined as the women who have had amenorrhea for at least 12 consecutive months without using drugs known to cause amenorrhea, and have a recorded FSH level greater than 40 mIU/mL or in the postmenopausal range) and women with a record of surgical sterilization (i.e., tubal ligation or hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) before the screening visit can be considered infertile.

   Highly effective contraceptive measures include:

   i. Abstinence (acceptable only if it is part of the subject's routine lifestyle); ii. Hormones (oral, patch, ring, injection, implant) combined with male condoms. This measure must be used at least 30 days before the first study drug administration. Otherwise, another acceptable method of contraception must be used; iii. Intrauterine device (IUD) combined with male condoms.

4. Subjects are willing and able to comply with study visits and related procedures.

5. Subjects have the ability to learn the study requirements and process, and voluntarily take part in the clinical trial and sign an ICF.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Received prior treatment with anti-interleukin-4 receptor α (IL-4Rα)/anti-interleukin-13 (IL-13) antibodies with a poor response (including treatment failure or development of unacceptable treatment-related adverse reactions).

2. Have received any of the following topical treatments within 2 weeks before D1 visit: phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitors, Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, or aromatic hydrocarbon receptor agonists.

3. Have received systemic treatment with corticosteroids (except for corticosteroid inhalers and nasal sprays) or other immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory agents (including but not limited to cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, methotrexate, JAK inhibitors, and various biological agents) within 2 weeks before D1 visit or 5 drug half-lives (if known), whichever is longer.

4. Have received treatment with immune cell depletion agents (e.g., rituximab) within 6 months before D1 visit.

5. Have received any investigational drug/treatment within 4 weeks before D1 visit or 5 drug half-lives (if known), whichever is longer.

6. Other skin complications in addition to AD that may interfere with the study assessments.

7. There is a known or suspected history of immunosuppression/immunodeficiency within 6 months before D1 visit (including but not limited to a history of invasive opportunistic infections, such as aspergillosis, coccidiosis, histoplasmosis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), listeriosis, or Pneumocystis, even if the infection has subsided), or there is an abnormally frequently recurrent or persistent infection.

8. Received systemic treatment with anti-infective drugs (including but not limited to antibiotics, antiviral drugs, antiparasitic drugs, antiprotozoal drugs, or antifungal drugs) due to acute or chronic infection within 1 week before D1 visit (after the infection subsides, the subjects can be rescreened).

9. History of malignant tumor within 5 years before D1 visit (except for completely cured cervical carcinoma in situ or non-metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma).

10. History of parasite infection within 6 months before D1 visit.

11. Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and HBV-DNA, or positive for hepatitis C antibody and HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase chain reaction, or serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at the screening visit.

12. Subjects with active tuberculosis, latent tuberculosis, or a history of nontuberculous mycobacterial infection at screening;

    Note:

    • Unless there is a clear medical record proving that the subject has received adequate treatment and is currently able to start receiving biological treatment (based on the medical judgment of the investigator and/or infectious disease specialist);
    • If needed, an interferon gamma release assay may be used to assist diagnosis of suspected tuberculosis.

13. Any of the following laboratory test abnormalities at the screening visit:

    1. Aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase > 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
    2. Total bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN;
    3. Serum creatinine > 1.2 × ULN;
    4. White blood cell count < 3.0 × 109/L or ≥ 14 × 109/L; Note: If the subjects have the above laboratory test abnormalities at screening, after being assessed as necessary by the investigator, they are allowed to receive a retest on another day within 28 days of the screening period, and those qualified for the retest are permitted to be enrolled (it is forbidden to conduct drug intervention for those laboratory test abnormalities before retest).

14. History of hypersensitivity to L-histidine, trehalose or Tween (polysorbate) 80, or systemic hypersensitivity reactions to any biological agents (except local injection site reactions).

15. History of alcohol or drug abuse within 2 years before D1 visit.

16. Have been vaccinated with (attenuated) live vaccine within 8 weeks before D1 visit, or planning to be vaccinated during the study period.

17. Planning to undergo major surgical operations during the study period.

18. Pregnant or lactating women, or subjects with pregnancy or lactation plans during the study period.

19. Any other conditions (e.g., those may increase the risks of the subjects, or may affect/interfere with the assessment of the study) that the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in this study, including but not limited to: prior or current physical or mental illness, clinically significant physical examination results, vital signs, or safety laboratory test abnormalities at screening. The specific reasons for subjects excluded due to this criterion will be indicated in the study documents (including medical records and electronic case report form (eCRF)).
