Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include healthy adults aged 18 to 65 and individuals diagnosed with cold agglutinin disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are pregnant, lactating, or have significant health issues outside the eligibility criteria may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This first-in-human study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of GL-0719 through both intravenous and subcutaneous administration in healthy adult participants. Additionally, it will evaluate the same parameters in individuals diagnosed with cold agglutinin disease. The study will involve multiple cohorts to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the drug's effects across different populations. Participants will be monitored for any adverse reactions and changes in biomarkers related to efficacy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a new treatment option for patients suffering from cold agglutinin disease.

How similar studies have gone: While this is a first-in-human study, similar approaches in evaluating new treatments for complement-mediated diseases have shown promise in other contexts.

Key Exclusion Criteria for Cohorts 1 to 7

1. History of any clinically significant (as determined by the investigator) cardiac, endocrine, hematological, hepatic, immunological, metabolic, urological, pulmonary, neurological, dermatological, psychiatric, renal, or other major disease.
2. Evidence of clinically significant medical condition or other condition that might significantly interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of study drug, or place the subject at an unacceptable risk as a participant in this study.
3. Signs and symptoms of, or diagnosis consistent with a chronic autoimmune disorder and/or positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) test by indirect immunofluorescence confirmed by ANA titer ≥ 1:160.
4. Documented history of autoimmune disease, or history of a syndrome that required systemic steroids or immunosuppressive medications, except for subjects with vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy.
5. Any underlying medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, renders the subject a poor candidate for this study or could confound the results of the study or put the subject at undue risk.

Key Exclusion Criteria for Cohorts 8 to 9

1. CAD secondary to infection or an autoimmune disorder.
2. CAD secondary to active lymphoid or other hematologic malignancy not meeting the inclusion criteria.
3. Diagnosis of any other malignancy except for adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer, curatively treated in situ disease, or other cancer from which the subject has been disease-free for ≥ 5 years.
4. Clinically relevant infection of any kind within the month preceding enrollment (example, active hepatitis C, pneumonia).
5. Clinical diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), other autoimmune disorders, or ANA titer \> 1:160 at Screening.
6. Positive hepatitis panel and/or positive HIV (Human Immuno Deficiency) test. Subjects whose results are compatible with prior immunization may be included at the discretion of the investigator.
7. Positive HIV antibody at Screening.
