Safety and Efficacy of a Single Dose of Gruticibart to Prevent CRT

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE(S):

I. To determine the safety of gruticibart as measured by the incidence of CRT in individuals with a CVC II. To determine the efficacy of gruticibart as measured by the incidence of CRT in individuals with a CVC II. To determine the efficacy of gruticibart as measured by the incidence of CRT in individuals with a CVC

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of gruticibart in patients with a CVC II. To determine the efficacy of gruticibart as measured by the time to CRT and incidence of any thrombosis in individuals with a CVC

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

Arm A. Participants receive single dose of placebo IV via CVC or peripheral IV line.

Arm B. Participantsreceive single dose of gruticibart (2 mg/kg) IV via CVC or peripheral IV line.

After completion of study treatment, participants will be followed for AEs for a total of 30 days from time of administration of study drug, and are considered off-study after 30 days. .

• Female participants of childbearing potential must agree to use two forms of highly effective contraception (Appendix B) starting with the first dose of study therapy through 90 days after the last dose of study therapy.

Participants of childbearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not been free from menses for >1 year without an alternative medical cause.
