Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a multicenter, international, three-part, Phase 1 study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of rising single doses of AT-02 in healthy volunteers and in subjects with systemic amyloidosis and to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of multiple doses of AT-02 in subjects with systemic amyloidosis.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. However, if you have systemic amyloidosis, you may continue certain treatments like daratumumab for AL amyloidosis or TTR silencers/stabilizers for ATTR amyloidosis. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.

What data supports the idea that AT-02 for Amyloidosis is an effective drug?

The available research does not provide specific data on the effectiveness of AT-02 for Amyloidosis. Instead, it discusses other treatments for different types of amyloidosis, such as AL and ATTR. For AL amyloidosis, treatments like proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators, and monoclonal antibodies have shown significant improvements in patient outcomes. For ATTR amyloidosis, drugs like tafamidis and RNA-interference agents have improved prognosis. Without specific data on AT-02, it's unclear how it compares to these treatments. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What safety data is available for AT-02 in treating amyloidosis?

The provided research does not contain any safety data for AT-02 or its placebo in the treatment of amyloidosis. The studies listed focus on treatments for endometriosis, such as dienogest, triptorelin, elagolix, goserelin, and nafarelin, and do not mention AT-02 or amyloidosis. ^{6 7 8 9 10}

Is the drug AT-02 a promising treatment for Amyloidosis?

The information provided does not include any details about the drug AT-02 or its effects on Amyloidosis, so we cannot determine if it is a promising treatment. ^{11 12 13 14 15}

Findings from Research

Systemic amyloidosis, particularly AL and ATTR types, can now be diagnosed quickly using advanced techniques like radioisotope scintigraphy and mass spectrometry, which is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

The prognosis for both AL and ATTR has significantly improved with new treatments such as proteasome inhibitors and tafamidis, leading to better survival rates and symptom relief when the amyloid-forming proteins are effectively managed.

The combination therapy of daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (daratumumab-CyBorD) has become the new standard-of-care for systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis, showing high rates of hematologic and organ response.

Recent advancements in patient selection and induction regimens have significantly reduced the mortality associated with autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), while new treatments like venetoclax are proving effective for patients with specific genetic abnormalities.

In a study of 9 patients with AL amyloidosis, a treatment regimen of pulse dexamethasone followed by maintenance alpha interferon resulted in improvement in organ function for 8 out of 9 patients, indicating its potential efficacy.

This treatment approach, which avoids the leukemogenic risks associated with traditional therapies, showed significant reductions in proteinuria for 6 out of 7 patients with nephrotic syndrome, suggesting it could be a safer alternative for managing AL amyloidosis.

Therapies for AL amyloidosis, including alkylators and steroids, are effective, but only about 25% of patients can receive high-dose therapy; novel agents like thalidomide and bortezomib have also shown promise in treatment.

Predictors of treatment outcomes include serum brain natriuretic peptide levels, the number of affected organs, and the severity of cardiac involvement, indicating that personalized treatment approaches can be developed for nearly all patients.

In a study of 86 patients with AA amyloidosis secondary to rheumatoid arthritis, the biologic agent etanercept (ETN) was found to be more effective than the alkylating agent cyclophosphamide (CYC), showing significant improvements in serum CRP, albumin levels, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

The presence of the SAA1.3 allele, which indicates genetic risk, did not influence the treatment response to either ETN or CYC, suggesting that this genetic factor may not be a useful predictor for therapy outcomes in these patients.

A pooled analysis of 332 women from four clinical trials showed that dienogest 2 mg is well tolerated for up to 65 weeks in treating endometriosis, with a favorable safety profile and low rates of discontinuation due to side effects.

The most common side effects, such as headache and breast discomfort, were mild to moderate, and dienogest maintained estradiol levels within a low-physiological range, indicating effective treatment without causing hormonal deficiency.

In a phase 3 study involving 300 Chinese women with endometriosis, triptorelin pamoate prolonged-release (3-month formulation) was found to be noninferior to the standard 1-month formulation, with over 98% of patients achieving chemical castration after 12 weeks.

Both formulations effectively reduced endometriosis-related pelvic pain and hormone levels, with no new safety concerns, making the 3-month option a convenient alternative that requires fewer injections.

In a Phase 2 study involving 155 women with confirmed endometriosis, elagolix showed a reduction in pain scores compared to placebo, particularly for dysmenorrhea, with significant differences noted at weeks 8 and 12.

In a study involving 252 women with endometriosis, both goserelin and nafarelin significantly reduced pain scores and improved symptoms without any statistically significant differences in efficacy or side effects between the two treatments.

Local irritation was reported more frequently in the nafarelin group, while goserelin users experienced injection site symptoms, but overall, both treatments were similarly effective in managing endometriosis symptoms.

In a 24-week study involving women with confirmed endometriosis, dienogest at doses of 2 mg and 4 mg per day significantly reduced endometriosis severity scores, indicating effective treatment.

Both the 2 mg and 4 mg doses were well tolerated with low discontinuation rates due to side effects, while the 1 mg dose was discontinued due to inadequate bleeding control, suggesting that 2 mg is the optimal dose for future studies.

In a study of 308 patients with isolated systolic hypertension, a losartan-based treatment regimen significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP) by an average of 19.2 mm Hg over 12 weeks, compared to a 7.6 mm Hg reduction in the placebo group.

The reduction in SBP with losartan was significantly greater than with placebo, by 11.6 mm Hg, while both treatments had similar tolerability profiles, indicating that losartan is an effective and well-tolerated option for managing isolated systolic hypertension.

In a randomized trial with 86 patients, the 5 mg dose of ramipril significantly reduced blood pressure compared to placebo, indicating its efficacy in treating mild to moderate hypertension.

The study found no clinically relevant side effects from ramipril, suggesting it is a safe option for patients, with the minimum effective dosage identified as 5 mg once daily.

The study found no significant differences in routine hematochemical parameters among the treatments, indicating that both medications are safe and effective for managing hypertension without adverse effects on blood chemistry.

Atenolol combined with slow-released nifedipine significantly reduced ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in patients with high blood pressure, showing a clear efficacy of the treatment compared to placebo after one month.

The study highlights the importance of including a placebo group, as analyzing data without it can overestimate the drug's effects, even though the placebo had a slight impact on ABP in patients with initially high blood pressure.
