Study summary

The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single administration of AGA111 for lumbar interbody fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of single administration of AGA111 for lumbar interbody fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. A total of 60 participants will be enrolled and randomized to placebo, AGA111 0.25 mg, or AGA111 0.5 mg at 1: 1: 1 ratio. All participants will undergo lumbar interbody fusion and receive study treatment during the surgery.

    Drug: AGA111

  • Experimental
    0.5 mg AGA111

    0.5 mg AGA111 in ABC is locally delivered to the participants at the intervertebral space.

    Drug: AGA111

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo

    Placebo in ABC is locally delivered at the intervertebral space.

    Drug: Placebo

Interventions

  • DrugAGA111

    AGA111 is locally administered in an ABC carrier at the intervertebral space during the lumbar interbody fusion.

  • DrugPlacebo

    Placebo is locally administered in an ABC carrier at the intervertebral space during the lumbar interbody fusion.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of the investigational product (IP), whether or not considered related to the IP. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of IP.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months

  2. Number of participants who develop anti-drug antibody to AGA111

    Blood samples taken prior to the operation and 5 days, 28 days and 90 days post operation were tested for anti-AGA111 antibodies using an immunoassay method.

    Time frame: Up to 90 days post operation

Secondary outcomes

  1. Radiographic fusion success

    Radiographic fusion success is defined as evidence of continuous bone bridging from the superior to the inferior vertebrae via CT evaluation and no evidence of motion as defined by less than 3mm translational motion and less than 5° in angular motion at the treated level via hyperextension and hyperflexion X-rays.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months post operation

  2. New Bone formation

    New bone formation is defined as the ratio of successful fusion area to the total area in the transverse plane of CT scan.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months post operation

  3. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

    The change of point in ODI from baseline.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months post operation

  4. Pain score through Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    The change of point in VAS from baseline.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months post operation

  5. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of AGA111

    Maximum concentration of AGA111 after dosing.

    Time frame: 90 minutes before administration, and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours post administration.

  6. Time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of AGA111

    Time to maximum concentration of AGA111 after dosing.

    Time frame: 90 minutes before administration, and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours post administration.

  7. Area under the concentration time curve (AUC)

    Definite integral of the curve describing the variation of AGA111 in blood as a function of time.

    Time frame: 90 minutes before administration, and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours post administration.
