About this study

It is the first in human (FIH), 3+3 design clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of EN001 (allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells) in the treatment of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) type 1A.

  • Those who have a previous or current medical condition that may adversely affect the safety of the subject, make it difficult to complete treatment or affect the evaluation of clinical trial results at the discretion of the investigator
  • Those who do not have the will or ability to comply with clinical trial procedures at the discretion of the investigator

Treatment and study plan

EN001

Drug

EN001 intravenously (IV) in the treatment of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) type 1A Dosage for each group is as follows.

Dose group A (Low dose): 5.0x10^5 cells/kg

Other names: EN001 (allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells)

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants of any Adverse Events (AEs)/Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) related investigational product

    Time frame: Week 16 after treatment

    Number of participants with treatment-related AEs/SAEs as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

  2. Determination of Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) levels of EN001

    Time frame: Up to Week 4 after dosing on Day 0

    Among the adverse events occurring for 4 weeks after administration of the investigational product, Grade 3 or higher adverse events according to CTCAE v5.0

  3. Determination of Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) levels of EN001

    Time frame: Up to Week 4 after dosing on Day 0

    Among the adverse events occurring for 4 weeks after administration of the investigational product, Grade 3 or higher adverse events according to CTCAE v5.0 Maximum tolerated dose defines the evaluated maximum dose level in which greater than two participants of six participants experience Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) under the dose level. The dose level where two participants of six participants experience DLT will be the maximum tolerated dose.

  4. Number of participants with Vital Signs abnormalities

    Time frame: From screening up to Week 16

    Vital Signs include blood pressure (mmHg), pulse (times/minute), respiratory rate (times/minute), and body temperature (℃) and will be assessed by CTCAE v 5.0 to evaluate safety and tolerability of EN001.

    The number of participants with at least one potentially clinically significant abnormal vital sign finding were reported as treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs).

  5. Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities of Physical Examinations

    Time frame: From screening up to Week 16

    Physical Examinations include general appearance, head, ears/eyes/nose/throat, cardiovascular, respiratory, abdomen, skin, lymph nodes, extremities, musculoskeletal and neurologic and will be assessed by CTCAE v 5.0 to evaluate safety and tolerability of EN001.

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant abnormalities in physical examinations were reported as TEAEs.

  6. Number of participants with abnormalities of Laboratory Parameters

    Time frame: From screening up to Week 16

    Laboratory Parameters include hematology, chemistry laboratory tests, urinalysis, coagulation test and plasma viral load test and will be assessed by CTCAE 5.0 to evaluate safety and tolerability of EN001.

    Number of participants with at least one potentially clinically significant abnormal finding were reported as TEAEs.

  7. Number of participants with 12-lead Electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities

    Time frame: From screening to baseline on Day 1 (Predose to end of infusion and 90 min after completion of infusion)

    Measured by result of the ECG measurements and findings

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of adverse events (AEs)

    Time frame: From screening to the end of treatment/withdrawal visit (up to approximately 5 years per subject)

    Occurrence of any adverse reactions, development of new blood clots, tumors, immune responses (like autoimmune reactions) and death, and/or serious adverse events related investigational product will be summarized by actual treatment groups respectively.

  2. Number of participants with abnormalities of Vital Signs, Physical Findings, and Laboratory Parameters

    Time frame: From screening to the end of treatment/withdrawal visit (up to approximately 5 years per subject)

    Abnormalities of Vital Signs, Physical Findings, and Laboratory parameters (as described above) will be collected and analyzed, and then assessed by CTCAE 5.0 to evaluate the long-term safety of EN001.

  3. Change from baseline in disease severity CMTNS-v2 score

    Time frame: Screening and baseline on Day 0 (up to approximately 5 years per subject after Week 4)

    Disease severity measured by CMTNS-v2 score will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the exploratory efficacy of EN001.

  4. Change from baseline in gait and balance functions

    Time frame: Screening and baseline on Day 0 (up to approximately 5 years per subject after Week 4)

    Gait and balance functions measured by Ten Meter Walking Test(10MWT), Functional Disability Scale (FDS), and Overall Neuropathy Limitation Score (ONLS) leg scale will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the exploratory efficacy of EN001.

  5. Change from baseline in the degree of muscle damage (%)

    Time frame: Screening and baseline on Day 0 (up to approximately 5 years per subject after Week 4)

    The degree of muscle damage measured by lower extremity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the exploratory efficacy of EN001.

  6. Change from baseline in nerve regeneration potential

    Time frame: Screening and baseline on Day 0 (up to approximately 5 years per subject after Week 4)

    Nerve generation potential measured by MNCV, SNCV, CMAP, and SNAP will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the exploratory efficacy of EN001.
