Single-dose, Dose-escalation Study of Safety, PK, and Preliminary Efficacy of XOMA 052 in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy of XOMA 052 in subjects with active Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D).

IV administration of XOMA 052 is likely to improve glycemic control in subjects with T2D by blocking certain receptors.


Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

* American Diabetes Association (ADA) diagnostic criteria for T2D: Fasting blood glucose concentration ≥ 126 mg/dL (≥ 7.0 mmol/L) (must be measured within 28 days prior to Day 0) OR Symptoms of hyperglycemia (e.g., thirst, polyuria, weight loss, visual blurring) AND a casual/random plasma glucose value of ≥ 200 mg/dL (≥ 11.1 mmol/L) (must be measured within 28 days prior to Day 0)
* HbA1c ≥ 7.5% and ≤ 12% (DCCT standard)
* Current T2D of duration \> 3 months and ≤ 10 years at Screening
* T2D and other diseases must be stable. Stable disease is defined as disease that is judged stable by the investigator and which did not require a change in medications or dosing level on 4 or more consecutive days or 7 days in total within 28 days prior to Day 0.
* Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 70 at Screening
* Weight ≥ 80 lbs (36.3 kg) and ≤ 325 lbs (147.4 kg)
* BMI ≥ 23 and ≤ 36 kg/m2
* For female subjects of child-bearing age, a negative serum pregnancy test. For subjects with reproductive potential, a willingness to utilize adequate contraception and not become pregnant (or have their partner\[s\] become pregnant) during the study.
* Agrees not to change diet and exercise regimen during the trial

Exclusion Criteria:

* Use of the following medications: Anti-inflammatory therapy other than aspirin ≤ 100 mg/day; Immunosuppressive treatment; Beta 2 and non-selective adrenergic blockers (Note: selective beta 1 blockers are permitted); Thiazolidinediones; Glucagon-like peptide (GLP) agonists including DPP4 inhibitors
* Change in medication for diabetes within 28 days prior to Day 0, defined as a change in dosing level on 4 or more consecutive days or 7 days in total
* Fasting C-peptide \< 400 pM (\< 1.20 μg/L)
* Hemoglobin \< 8.0 g/dL, WBC \< 3.0 × 103/mm3, platelet count \< 125 × 103/mm3, creatinine \> 1.5 mg/dL, AST/ALT \> 2 × ULN, alkaline phosphatase \> 2 × ULN
* Positive for GAD65 or IA-2 auto-antibodies
* History or evidence of thyroid abnormalities, including active hyperthyroidism needing medication. Subjects with hypothyroidism will not be excluded if their TSH level has been normal during the 3 months prior to Screening.
* Abnormal T3, T4, thyroglobulin, or TSH levels
* Known HIV antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen, and/or hepatitis C antibody
* History of malignancy within 5 years prior to study entry other than carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or adequately treated, non-metastatic squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin
* History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to humanized or murine monoclonal antibodies
* History of tuberculosis, positive PPD test, active atopic disease requiring medication, or asthma
* Infectious disease: CRP \> 30 mg/L, fever, or infection requiring treatment with antibiotics within 3 weeks prior to Screening; History of recurrent infection or predisposition to infection; Active leg or foot ulcer
* Immunodeficiency
* Female subjects who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant during the course of the study, or breast-feeding
* History or symptoms of a demyelinating disease
* Clinically significant diabetic macular edema and/or proliferative diabetic retinopathy by history or fundoscopy
* Receipt of a live (attenuated) vaccine within 3 months prior to Screening
* Major surgery within 28 days prior to Day 0
* Participation in an investigational drug or device trial within 30 days prior to Screening
* Use of a therapeutic monoclonal antibody within 90 days prior to Screening
* Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the subject's safety following exposure to the study drug
