ProMetic is intiitating a first-in-man study entitled "A Phase 1, Dose Escalation, and Pharmacokinetic Study of ProMetic Plasminogen Administered as Intravenous Infusion in Adults and Children with Hypoplasminogenemia". The general objectives of this clinical study, (Protocol #2002C005G), are to determine the optimal dose and interval required to support the planned Phase 2/3 study and to investigate initial safety and tolerability.
The Phase 1 study will be a single center study, the subjects will be from across country. It is an open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation study in patients with hypoplasminogenemia aged 12 years and older.
Three dose cohorts are planned to achieve a target sample size of 12 evaluable subjects. This will ensure a minimum of 4 evaluable subjects in each cohort. Due to the challenges of patient availability and burden of cross country travel, each cohort will enroll no more than 6 subjects. Any subject may participate in multiple cohorts, as judged appropriate by the investigator.
In each cohort, each subject must be diagnosed with hypoplasminogenimia and have a plasminogen activity level of ≤ 40% before they will be administered a single dose of Plasminogen (Human), the investigational medicinal product. Plasminogen will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion at the following doses:
At each dose level, Plasma plasminogen activity and antigen levels will be measured to develop a pharmacokinetic profile. Blood samples will be drawn at the following time points: baseline immediately before dosing; at the end of infusion; and at 1, 6, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 168, and 216 hours after the end of infusion. Visits 1-4 and 11 must be conducted at the clinical site. A subject may conduct Visits 5-10 at the clinical site or have the study procedures performed by a Home Health Nurses Group (HHNG) nurse through home visits, if continued visits to the study site are not possible or practical.
Subjects will have another visit 14 days after the IV infusion for Visit 10 (Day 15, Short-term-Safety Visit). Subjects will return to the clinic 30 days after IV infusion for Visit 11 (Day 30, Follow-up-Safety Visit) for the collection of adverse events (AEs), immunogenicity testing, routine safety tests and procedures, and final viral safety testing, unless the subject is entering into another Cohort.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
