Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The study will be conducted by the Sponsor to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GV1001 (0.56 mg and 1.12 mg) administered subcutaneously as a treatment for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, (PSP). In 75 patients diagnosed with PSPR Richardson(PSP-RS) or PSP-Parkinsonism (PSP-P) at five hospitals in Korea, subcutaneous administration of GV1001 0.56 or 1.12 mg/day will be conducted with multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design, prospective phase 2a.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: GV1001 Placebo
  • Drug: GV1001 0.56mg
  • Drug: GV1001 1.12mg
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a 24-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design, prospective, Phase 2a exploratory clinical study. If the subject and/or the subject's representative provide a written consent to participate in this clinical study, the required examinations and tests will be performed at the screening visit, and the screening period will run for 2 weeks or shorter. Subjects who are ultimately determined as eligible by the inclusion/exclusion criteria after screening will be randomized at a 1:1:1 ratio to Study Group 1 (GV1001 0.56 mg/day), Study Group 2 (GV1001 1.12 mg/day), or the placebo group depending on the study site in which they are enrolled. Depending on the randomization results, subjects will be administered the investigational product (study drug or placebo) once weekly for the first 4 weeks (1 month), and then administered 10 times at 2-week intervals for 20 weeks (5 months) for a total of 14 doses over 24 weeks (6 months). All subjects will visit the institution according to the planned clinical study schedule to receive the investigational product and to be evaluated for efficacy and safety. To ensure the objectivity and accuracy of the study results, the individuals evaluating efficacy will be limited to neurologists who have been sufficiently educated and trained, and the collection of efficacy and safety evaluation data and biomarkers will be performed in a consistent order at each visit.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change from the baseline in the total score of PSP-rating scale [6 months]

      Change from the baseline in the total score of PSP-rating scale(Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Rating Scale) after 24 weeks (6 months) of investigational product administration. The possible total scores range from 0 to 100 with a higher score indicating severely impaired cognitive function.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change from the baseline in the total score of PSP-rating scale [3 months]

      Change from the baseline in the total score of PSP-rating scale(Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Rating Scale) after 12 weeks (3 months) of investigational product administration. The possible total scores range from 0 to 100 with a higher score indicating severely impaired cognitive function.

    2. Change from the baseline in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment - Korea (MoCAK) [3 months and 6 months]

      Change from the baseline in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment - Korea (MoCAK) after 12 weeks (3 months) and 24 weeks (6 months) of investigational product administration. The possible total scores range from 0 to 30 with a higher score indicating greater cognitive function.

    3. Change from the baseline in the Korean Frontal Assessment Battery (K-FAB) [3 months and 6 months]

      Change from the baseline in the Korean Frontal Assessment Battery (K-FAB) after 12 weeks (3 months) and 24 weeks (6 months) of investigational product administration. The possible total scores range from 0 to 18 with a higher score indicating greater cognitive function.

    4. Change from the baseline in the England & Schwab Activity of Daily Living (ES ADL) scale [3 months and 6 months]

      Change from the baseline in the England & Schwab Activity of Daily Living (ES ADL) scale after 12 weeks (3 months) and 24 weeks (6 months) of investigational product administration. The possible total scores range from 0 (complete dependence) to 100% (complete independence) based on the level of independence.

    5. Change from the baseline in the score of each domain of the PSP-rating scale [3 months and 6 months]

      Change from the baseline in the score of each domain of the PSP-rating scale(Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Rating Scale) after 12 weeks (3 months) and 24 weeks (6 months) of investigational product administration. Each domain is rated from different range (0 to 8, 16, 20 or 24) with a higher total score indicating severely impaired cognitive function.

    6. Change from the baseline in the score of each item of the PSP-rating scale [3 months and 6 months]

      Change from the baseline in the score of each item of the PSP-rating scale(Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Rating Scale) after 12 weeks (3 months) and 24 weeks (6 months) of investigational product administration. Each item is rated from different range (0 to 2 or 4) with a higher total score indicating severely impaired cognitive function.
