Protocol Summary
Primary Objectives:
Secondary Objectives:
Number of Subjects: 10
Diagnosis and Main Inclusion Criteria: Subjects must have colitis, ileitis, or ileocolitis previously confirmed at any time in the past by radiography, histology, and/or endoscopy, and must allow a ≥ 8-week washout for prior monoclonal antibody therapy.
Study Product, Dose, Route, Regimen:
IV administration of 15 mL study agent at Day 0, Day 2, Day 4 and 30 mL at Week 2, Week 6 and every 4 weeks thereafter to week 46 (n=10), (total # doses =15)
Statistical Methodology: This is a safety study with exploratory assessment of efficacy. The study has insufficient power to confirm efficacy. All assessments of efficacy will be exploratory for the purpose of hypothesis-generation in larger sample sizes.
1,880 studies on the registry are indexed under Crohn Disease; 461 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 3 is below the median of 66 across 1,188 interventional studies indexed under Crohn Disease.
Browse Crohn Disease studies →Direct Biologics, LLC is the lead sponsor of 12 studies on the registry; 3 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exposure to corticosteroids, 5-ASA drugs, thiopurines, methotrexate, anti-TNF therapy, anti-integrin and anti-interleukin in the past are permitted but a washout period of 8 weeks for any monoclonal antibody is necessary.
The following medications/therapies must have been discontinued before first administration of study agent:
Exclusion Criteria:
Abnormal basic laboratory values with the following cut-offs:
Subjects with abnormal coagulation studies:
Subjects with abnormal vital signs prior to first ExoFlo delivery as defined by:
IV administration of 15 mL study agent at Day 0, Day 2, Day 4 and 30 mL at Week 2, Week 6 and every 4 weeks thereafter to week 46 (total # doses = 15).
Biological: ExoFlo
Intravenous administration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell derived extracellular vesicles
Safety of intravenous ExoFlo in subjects with medically refractory Crohn's disease who have failed, or are intolerant, or have a contraindication to one or more monoclonal antibodies.
Safety will be defined as lack of serious adverse events or adverse advents related to treatment with the study therapeutic.
Time frame: 58 Weeks
Feasibility of intravenous ExoFlo in subjects with medically refractory Crohn's disease who have failed, or are intolerant, or have a contraindication to one or more monoclonal antibodies.
The study will not be considered feasible if more than three subjects are not capable of receiving the ExoFlo based on ability to release or deliver the cells. If a subject misses any single dose of ExoFlo, they will be withdrawn and not replaced.
Time frame: 58 Weeks
To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous ExoFlo in inducing clinical remission at week 6 and week 46.
Efficacy in inducing clinical remission will be evaluated as a reduction from baseline in the CDAI score of \>100 points.
Time frame: Week 6 and Week 46
To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous ExoFlo in inducing clinical response at week 6 and week 46.
Efficacy in inducing clinical response will be evaluated as ≥70-point decrease in CDAI score from baseline (Week 0).
Time frame: Week 6 and Week 46
To evaluate endoscopic remission and endoscopic response.
Endoscopic remission as measured by an SES-CD score of 0 to 2, and endoscopic response as defined by a 50% reduction in the SES-CD score from baseline.
Time frame: 58 Weeks
To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous ExoFlo in improving disease-specific health-related quality of life.
Efficacy will be evaluated as: * Improvement on the 36 Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) * Improvement on the EuroQol 5 Dimensions Survey (EQ-5D)
Time frame: 58 Weeks
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ExoFlo therapy, including changes in C-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal calprotectin.
Evaluated as: Measuring changes in C-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal calprotectin.
Time frame: 58 Weeks
To evaluate treatment failure as defined by disease worsening, need for rescue medications or surgical intervention for treatment of CD, or study drug-related adverse event leading to discontinuation from the study.
Evaluated as: Number of subjects with disease worsening, needing rescue medications or surgical intervention for treatment of CD, or study drug-related adverse events leading to discontinuation of study.
Time frame: 58 Weeks
