About this trial

This is the first-in-human trial of MTS109 (mRNA-LNP). The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability of intravenous injection of MTS109 in moderate to severe autoimmune diseases.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

SLE subjects: a) Drug-induced SLE; b) Subjects with lupus crisis, or who require medications prohibited by the protocol due to comorbidities, or who are considered ineligible by the investigator.

IIM subjects: a) Subjects with documented inclusion body myositis (IBM), drug-induced PM or DM, malignancy-associated PM or DM, or non-inflammatory myopathy (e.g., muscular dystrophy); b) Uncontrolled extramuscular involvement related to PM or DM: ILD: FVC <55% or requiring oxygen therapy (FVC ≥55% to be evaluated for eligibility by the lead investigator); Severe dysphagia that, in the investigator's judgment, would increase subject risk by participating in the clinical trial; Severe cardiac manifestations (e.g., congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, treatable conduction abnormality, or myocardial infarction) that, in the investigator's judgment, would increase subject risk by participating in the clinical trial.

SSc subjects: a) Uncontrolled severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) related to SSc; b) Rapidly progressive lower gastrointestinal tract (small and large intestine) involvement related to SSc requiring parenteral nutrition; active gastric antral vascular ectasia; c) Uncontrolled or rapidly progressive ILD with oxygen saturation (SaO2) <92% on room air; or requiring mechanical ventilatory support within 1 year prior to signing informed consent.

AAV subjects: a) Crescentic glomerulonephritis, acute polyneuritis, or central nervous system (CNS) involvement other than AAV at screening; b) Life-threatening severe vasculitis (including diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, respiratory failure, intestinal perforation or massive bleeding, cerebral vasculitis, cardiac vasculitis, etc.); c) Secondary vasculitis (e.g., SLE, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, drug-induced, malignancy-associated, infection-induced, primary immunodeficiency, etc.).

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • MTS109

    Drug

    Three subcutaneous injections will be administered on Days 1, 4, and 7. A low-dose priming approach will be used to gradually reach the target therapeutic dose. Another three subcutaneous injections with the highest escalated dose will be given on Days 14, 21, and 28 (i.e., Week 4 after the first administration).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of adverse events (AE) of Grade ≥3

Proportion of subjects with adverse events (AEs) of Grade ≥3 within 28 days after the last dose.

Time frame
Within 28 days after the last dose
2

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE)

Incidence of TEAEs

Within 28 days after the last dose

Secondary outcomes

1

Response rate

Efficacy

Time frame
At Months 1, 2, 3, and 6
2

Short-Form 36-item survey (SF-36)

The Short-Form 36-item survey (SF-36) is an internationally recognized tool for assessing health-related quality of life. It comprehensively evaluates an individual's physical and mental health status through standardized scoring across 8 dimensions and 36 items. The sum of the standardized scores of the 8 dimensions ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

Time frame
At Months 1, 2, 3, and 6
3

Adverse events and injection site adverse reactions

Time frame
From the signing of informed consent up to 2 years after dosing
4

Time to peak (Tmax)

Time to peak plasma concentration following administration of MTS109 Injection

Time frame
32 days after the first dose
