A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of DMX-200 in Patients With FSGS Who Are Receiving an ARB

clipboard-pencil

About the study

DMX-200 (repagermanium) is a C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) inhibitor that, when administered concurrently with an ARB, is designed to inhibit recruitment of monocytes implicated in the inflammatory chemokine environment of chronic disease. The purpose of this pivotal randomized double-blind study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of DMX-200 120 mg twice daily (BID) compared with placebo over a treatment period of 104 weeks in adult patients with FSGS who are being treated with an ARB. Given the rarity of the disease and the similarities between adults and pediatric patients with FSGS, Dimerix will also investigate the efficacy and safety of DMX 200 in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. The double-blind period will be followed by an open-label extension (OLE) which aims to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of DMX 200 for up to 2 additional years.

    1. Is not of childbearing potential
    2. If of childbearing potential and beginning at menarche, agrees to use a highly effective method of contraception consistently during the treatment period.
    3. A male patient with a female partner of childbearing potential is eligible to participate if he agrees to use acceptable contraception
    4. A patient or parent/legal guardian (as appropriate) who is capable of giving signed informed consent, and where required, the patient is capable of providing assent.

    5. Documented history of heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III/IV) or a major adverse cardiac event within 12 weeks prior to Screening.
    6. Has a physical, medical, or psychological condition, that in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the evaluation the study.
    7. The patient has a history of alcohol or illicit drug use disorder within 1 year prior to Screening.
    8. Had a prior organ transplant or stem cell transplant, with the exception of corneal transplant.
    9. Positive screening assessment for viral hepatitis B surface antigen, or anti-hepatitis C virus antibody AND positive HCV RNA, or human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2.

    14. Unable to swallow oral medication.
    15. Prior participation in any Dimerix-sponsored DMX-200 clinical study.
    16. Participation in a clinical study with an Investigational Product within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Screening or plans to participate in another study during the course of this study.
    17. Are study site personnel directly affiliated with this study and their immediate families.

    OLE PERIOD

    1. A patient or parent/legal guardian (as appropriate) who is capable of giving signed informed consent, and where required, the patient is capable of providing assent.
    2. Patients who have completed participation in the double-blind period, including the Week 104 visit, and who may derive benefit from (continued) treatment with DMX-200, and/or continued follow-up
    3. The patient received blinded Investigational Product throughout the duration of the double-blind period up to the Week 104 visit
    4. The patient continues to meet the contraceptive requirements

    Exclusion Criteria:
