About this trial

A two-part study of PRO-203 administered subcutaneously in healthy adult volunteers and participants with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Is male or female, age 18 to 65 years, inclusive, at Screening.

Able to provide Informed Consent.

Absolute B cell count > 25 cells/uL.

In good general health, determined by no clinically significant findings in the of the investigator from medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory findings, and vital signs at Screening and Day -1 (participants with Gilbert's disease with associated abnormalities of liver function tests are eligible for enrollment).

Disqualifiers

Any clinically significant underlying illness in the opinion of the investigator.

Active infection within 4 weeks prior to screening. Participants receiving IV antibiotics or having received IV antibiotics within 14 days prior to enrollment are excluded.

Positive QuantiFERON-Gold TB test at screening.

Plan to receive live, attenuated vaccine after signing ICF (inactive vaccines, such as the flu vaccine, are allowed).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities [Safety and Tolerability]

Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and dose-limiting toxicities, including changes in clinical laboratory values, ECGs, and vital signs.

Time frame
13 weeks (Part 1) / 49 weeks (Part 2)

Secondary outcomes

1

Pharmacokinetics of PRO-203

Serum drug levels of PRO-203 over time

Time frame
13 weeks (Part 1) / 49 weeks (Part 2)
2

Pharmacodynamic-related biomarkers of PRO-203

Peripheral blood B lymphocyte levels over time

Time frame
13 weeks (Part 1) / 49 weeks (Part 2)
3

Immunogenicity of PRO-203

Level of anti-drug antibodies

Time frame
13 weeks (Part 1) / 49 weeks (Part 2)

Other outcomes

1

Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) (Part 2)

Change from baseline in Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) on a scale of 0 to 51, with a higher score indicating greater skin thickening.

Time frame
13 weeks /49 weeks
2

Revised Composite Response Index in Systemic Sclerosis (rCRISS) (Part 2)

Change from baseline in disease response as measured by the Revised Composite Response Index in Systemic Sclerosis (rCRISS), where a higher score indicates a better outcome.

Time frame
13 weeks / 49 weeks
3

European Scleroderma Trials and Research Group Activity Index (EUSTAR-AI) (Part 2)

Change from baseline in disease activity as measured by the European Scleroderma Trials and Research Group Activity Index (EUSTAR-AI) on a scale of 0 to 10, where a higher score indicates greater disease activity.

Time frame
13 weeks / 49 weeks
4

FVC % Predicted (Part 2)

Change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) as a percentage of predicted normal.

Time frame
13 weeks / 49 weeks
