Study summary

This open-label study will evaluate the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile of CM4620-IE in patients with acute pancreatitis. The first five (5) patients will receive ≤ 2.08 mg/kg of CM4620-IE by continuous IV infusion on Day 1. If necessary, up to an additional 4 patients may be treated at a different dose of CM4620-IE as determined by the obtained PK and PD data. The infusion of CM4620-IE will start within 12 hours from the time the patient or LAR provides informed consent.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

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.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

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.

Informed consent

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.

Cancer (malignancy)

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.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Hepatitis B tests

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.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Exploratory: Percentage Change in IL-2 Production Relative to Pre-dose Values

    Outcome assessed the percent change in IL-2 production after the administration of a single dose of CM4620-IE as compared to baseline production, for all patients enrolled. This measurement was to explore if there was a change in IL-2 levels with acute pancreatitis after the administration of a single dose of CM4620-IE.

    Time frame: Predose to 30 minutes post dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. The Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    The number of participants who experienced treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) with Investigator-specified relationship to CM4620-IE and assessment of severity.

    Time frame: From baseline through 30 days

  2. Pharmacokinetics (CMax of CM4620): Day 1, 30 Minutes Post End-of-infusion

    Time frame: Days 1, 2, 5, 10 and 30 or at discharge if earlier than day 30

  3. Pharmacokinetics (Plasma Concentration of CM4620): Day 2, 20-hr Post End-of-infusion

    Time points for sampling of plasma for bioanalysis of CM4620, blood for PD analysis (stimulated IL-2 release), and serum for cytokine analysis were chosen to capture the expected maximal plasma concentration (Cmax) on Day 1 and times close to the minimum plasma concentration (Cmin) on subsequent days.

    Time frame: Day 2

  4. Pharmacokinetics (Plasma Concentration of CM4620): Day 10 or Discharge

    Time frame: Day 10, or day of discharge

  5. Pharmacokinetics (Plasma Concentration of CM4620): Day 30

    Time frame: Day 30

  6. Baseline Levels of IL-6

    Included plasma samples collected 1 hour prior to the study drug administration

    Time frame: Baseline

  7. Day 1: 30 Minutes Post-infusion IL-6 Levels

    Time frame: Day 1

  8. Day 2: 20-hr Post Infusion IL-6 Levels

    Time frame: Day 2

  9. Post-infusion IL-6 Levels at Discharge

    This sample was drawn immediately prior to discharge from hospitalization, and ranged from day 2 through day 9.

    Time frame: Assessed at Discharge, between 2 and 9 days.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2019 to primary completion in Mar 2019, 2 months.

Results were first posted in May 2022, 3 years 1 month after primary completion.

Of 22 phase 2 interventional studies under Pancreatitis, half reached primary completion within 31 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 110. This study's 2 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 3, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
