Tolerability, Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of Humanized Anti-CD6 Monoclonal Antibody Injection in Chinese Psoriasis

The humanized recombinant anti-CD6 monoclonal antibody Injection (T1h) has been approved for psoriasis in India. The first trial in China is to evaluate the tolerability, safety, pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of T1h for patients with psoriasis.

The humanized recombinant anti-CD6 monoclonal antibody (T1h) is developed whose ligand binding properties of the original murine monoclonal antibody are preserved on the CD6 molecule. T1h monoclonal antibody has been approved for clinical studies of autoimmune diseases in Cuba and India, such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Single and multiple dose based tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetic phase 1 Study of Humanized Anti-CD6 Monoclonal Antibody Injection in Chinese patients with psoriasis, 40 patients are enrolled. They are divided into 4 groups (0.2mg/kg, 0.4mg/kg, 0.8mg/kg, 1.6mg/kg) and each group includes 10 patients. First, these doses are all single-dose administration gradually from low then the doses 0.4mg/kg, 0.8mg/kg and 1.6mg/kg are multi-dose administration gradually from low.

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ranged from 18 to 55 years, males or females ( no less than 3 patients in each dose group)
2. Patients with chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months (until patients with an informed consent) with or without arthritis psoriasis
3. BSA≥3% or PASI≥10
4. PGA≥3
5. Patients were eligible if wash-out period was no less than the time as follows:

   * 2 weeks for topical retinoic acid or glucocorticoid therapy
   * 6 months for retinoic acid of this kind drugs therapy
   * 2 weeks for light therapy
   * 4 weeks for Psoralen combined with UV-A therapy
   * 4 weeks for methotrexate(MTX),cyclophosphamide,cyclosporine and other immunosuppressive therapy
   * 7 half life time periods for other systemic immunosuppressive therapy
   * 8 weeks for Biological agents for psoriasis therapy
6. Fertile males or females who are willing to adopt contraceptive methods (e.g. hormonal pitch, intrauterine device, condoms)
7. Patients were voluntary to sign a written informed consent.
