About this trial
This is a Phase 1/2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, first-in-human study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of subcutaneously administered DIAG723 in adult patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).
The study consists of three parts:
Part A (dose escalation): Single ascending subcutaneous doses of DIAG723 are evaluated in sequential cohorts to assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics.
Part B (dose expansion): Multiple doses of DIAG723 administered over 13 weeks are evaluated in patients with HHT to assess safety and preliminary efficacy.
Part C (dose expansion): Multiple doses of DIAG723 administered over 13 weeks are evaluated in patients with HHT and concomitant pulmonary arterial hypertension to assess safety and exploratory clinical effects in this population.
Participants will be randomized within each study part to receive DIAG723 or placebo. The study includes dose escalation in Part A and dose expansion in Parts B and C.

Treatments tested in this trial
DIAG723
Biological/VaccineBispecific agonist monoclonal antibody targeting ALK-1 and BMPRII, administered subcutaneously as: Single ascending dose in Part A; Multiple doses (7 doses over 13 weeks) in Parts B and C
Placebo
Other interventionSterile normal saline (0.9% NaCl) administered subcutaneously in volumes matched to DIAG723 to maintain study blinding.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) - Part A (Single Dose)
Number and proportion of participants experiencing TEAEs following single-dose administration of DIAG723.
Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) - Part A (Single Dose)
Number and proportion of participants experiencing SAEs following single-dose administration of DIAG723.
Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) - Part A (Single Dose)
Number and proportion of participants experiencing DLTs during the dose-escalation period following single-dose administration.
Number of participants with abnormal laboratory tests results - Part A (Single Dose)
Laboratory assessments include hematology (complete blood count), clinical chemistry (basic metabolic panel; liver function tests; renal function; electrolytes; thyroid-stimulating hormone, free T4, free T3; cortisol; luteinizing hormone; lipase; amylase), coagulation (prothrombin time/international normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time), and urinalysis.
