A First-in-human Study of KK8123 in Adults With X-linked Hypophosphatemia

A first-in-human study of KK8123 in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia.

Study 8123-001 is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of KK8123, with an optional safety extension period. This study is comprised of a Screening Period followed by Part 1 and Part 2. The Screening Period will last up to 28 days (including obtaining informed consent). Part 1 is a Dose Escalation Period consisting of a nominal (planned) Treatment Period (all cohorts) and Observation Period of 32 to 44 weeks, and Part 2 is an optional Extension Period.

The dose must not exceed 60 mg oral morphine equivalents/day.
  11. Be willing to use an effective method of contraception while participating in the study and for 5 months after the last dose (all sexually active participants of childbearing potential).

      Postmenopausal status of female participants will be confirmed with a Screening serum follicle-stimulating hormone level \>40 mIU/mL.
  12. Must, in the opinion of the investigator, be willing and able to complete all aspects of the study, adhere to the study visit schedule and comply with the assessments.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Part 1: Exclusion Criteria:

  1. For XLH patients previously treated with burosumab, use of burosumab within 7 months prior to ICF signature.
  2. Prior history of positive test for human immunodeficiency virus antibody, positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen, and/or hepatitis C virus antibody at Screening.
  3. History of hypersensitivity to any ingredient of any therapeutic monoclonal antibody.
  4. Have an active infection.
  5. Grade 3 or greater nephrocalcinosis as confirmed by renal ultrasound.
  6. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg at Screening.
  7. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus at Screening.
  8. History of known immunodeficiency.
  9. History of alcoholism or drug abuse.
  10. History of donation of blood within 16 weeks prior to Screening.
  11. Use of any IP or investigational medical device within 30 days prior to Screening, or requirement for any investigational agent prior to completion of all scheduled study assessments.
  12. Use of any therapeutic mAb within 90 days prior to Screening.
  13. Use of pharmacologically active vitamin D, its metabolites or analogs, oral phosphate for treatment of XLH, aluminum hydroxide antacids, acetazolamide, thiazide diuretics, and/or systemic corticosteroids within 14 days prior to Screening (if taken by the participant, such therapy should be discontinued after ICF signature and other Screening assessments indicate eligibility).
  14. Use of medication to suppress PTH (e.g., calcimimetics) within 2 months prior to Screening and for the duration of the study.
  15. Use of denosumab within 6 months prior to Screening.
  16. Use of oral bisphosphonates in the 2 years prior to Screening.
  17. Use of teriparatide or abaloparatide in the 2 months prior to Screening.
  18. Plasma iPTH ≥ 2.5 × ULN at Screening.
  19. Planned or recommended orthopedic surgery during the study.
  20. History of traumatic fracture or orthopedic surgery within 6 months prior to Screening.
  21. Current active and symptomatic COVID-19 infection at Day -1.
  22. Presence or history of any condition that, in the view of the investigator, places the participant at high risk of poor treatment compliance or of not completing the study, or that would confound safety or interpretation of results.

Part 2: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Completion of relevant cohort in Part 1 of the study.
2. Provide a signed informed consent after the nature of Part 2 of the study has been explained.
3. Negative pregnancy test at Week 0 of Part 2 and willing to have additional pregnancy tests until the end of the study (female participants only).
4. If taking chronic pain medications (including narcotic pain medications/opioids), must be on a stable regimen for at least 21 days prior to Week 0 of Part 2, and be willing to maintain medications at the same stable dose(s) and schedule throughout the study. The dose must not exceed 60 mg oral morphine equivalents/day.
5. Be willing to use an effective method of contraception while participating in the study and for 5 months after the last dose (all sexually active participants of childbearing potential). Women of non-childbearing potential are defined as permanently sterile (i.e., due to tubal ligation at least one year before Screening, hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or postmenopausal (defined as at least 12 months post cessation of menses without an alternative medical cause). Postmenopausal status of female participants will be confirmed with a Week 0 serum follicle-stimulating hormone level \>40 mIU/mL.
6. Must, in the opinion of the investigator, be willing and able to complete all aspects of the study, adhere to the study visit schedule and comply with all the assessments.
