OUTLAST: Multiple-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of IXT-m200
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This Phase 2 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of monthly intravenous doses of IXT-m200 in treatment-seeking individuals with methamphetamine (METH) use disorder. The hypothesis are that following an initial relapse, IXT-m200 will reduce the occurrence of stimulant-positive saliva samples compared to placebo and improve the signs and symptoms of METH Use Disorder (MUD).

Experimental: IXT-m200 Anti-methamphetamine monoclonal antibody, dose levels of 1.5 and 3 g |
Drug: IXT-m200
IXT-m200 binds METH with high selectivity and affinity. The product contains a murine METH-binding variable region and the constant domains of a human immunoglobulin G (IgG) 2κ. This antibody isotype was chosen because of the lower risk of immune response compared to an IgG1 or IgG3. IXT-m200 targets METH, does not rely on binding to any endogenous target for its action, and has been well-tolerated in previous clinical studies.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percent of 20 weeks abstinent from stimulants following a 4-week grace period [20 weeks]
Saliva screens and by self-report
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of responders with reduced DSM-5 criteria at Week 25 as measured by DSM-5 criteria [25 weeks]
A responder is defined as a participant who meets a reduced number of DSM-5 criteria for MUD over the past month compared to Screening
- Proportion of responders in early remission at Week 25 as measured by DSM-5 criteria [25 weeks]
A responder is defined as a participant who meets the definition of early remission, i.e., at least 3 months and <12 months without meeting DSM-5 criteria other than craving.
- Complete abstinence during last month of study drug treatment [25 weeks]
Saliva screens and by self-report
- Difference between groups in Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) at Week 13, 25, and 33 [33 weeks]
The CGIC asks clinicians to complete one statement with the result ranging from 1-7 with lower scores representing a better outcome.
- Difference between groups in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at Week 13, 25, and 33 [33 weeks]
The PGIC asks patients to complete one statement with the result ranging from 1-7 with lower scores representing a better outcome.
- Change from screening in participant-rated quality of life as measured by the Treatment Effectiveness Assessment [33 weeks]
Treatment Effectiveness Assessment (TEA) asks questions in four domains with results ranging from 4-40 with higher scores representing a better outcome.
- Number of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) as measured by physical examination [33 weeks]
Physical examinations
- Number of treatment-related AEs as measured by vital signs [33 weeks]
Blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature
- Number of treatment-related AEs as measured by ECG [33 weeks]
Electrocardiogram
- Number of treatment-related AEs as measured by clinical laboratory testing [33 weeks]
Clinical laboratory testing
- Number of participants with anti-IXT-m200 antibody levels that are confirmed positive and have titers more than three times the minimum required dilution [33 weeks]
Anti-IXT-m200 antibody levels
Other Outcome Measures
- Number of sequential weeks of abstinence from the end of treatment [25 weeks]
Saliva screens and by self-report
- Point prevalence abstinence (last 7 days) [33 weeks]
Saliva screens and by self-report
- Weekly abstinence from stimulants following a 4-week grace period [25 weeks]
Saliva screens
- Proportion of responders with reduced DSM-5 criteria at Week 33 as measured by DSM-5 criteria [33 weeks]
A responder is defined as a participant who meets a reduced number of DSM-5 criteria for MUD over the past month compared to Screening
- Proportion of responders in early remission at Week 33 as measured by DSM-5 criteria [33 weeks]
A responder is defined as a participant who meets the definition of early remission, i.e., at least 3 months and <12 months without meeting DSM-5 criteria other than craving.

Eligible participants will NOT:
-
Have current dependence, defined by DSM-5 criteria, on any psychoactive substance (i.e., opioids or benzodiazepines), other than methamphetamine or nicotine (any severity). Mild severity dependence on alcohol or marijuana is allowed;
-
Be currently taking certain other drugs and medications, including: "designer drugs" (e.g., 3,4-methylenedioxyMETH (MDMA, Ecstasy, Adam, XTC) and its N-dimethyl metabolite methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), anti-orexigenic drugs (including over-the-counter medications for weight loss), or be chronic users of phenethylamine compounds (e.g., phenylpropanolamine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, amphetamine, phentermine, phenmetrazine, methylphenidate, diethylpropion, and propylhexedrine);

-
Have a history of severe allergy (rash, hives, breathing difficulty, etc) to any medications;
