Endpoints

Primary endpoints

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- IMC-M113V pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters (eg, AUC, Cmax, Tmax, t1/2) at multiple time points from baseline up to 72 hours post-dose in SAD and MAD (first dose) and after each subsequent dose in MAD studies\n- Incidence of anti-IMC-M113V antibody formation following administration of one or more doses of study drug","definition_or_measurement_approach":"PK parameters (AUC, Cmax, Tmax, t1/2) measured at specified time points from baseline up to 72 hours post-dose in SAD and MAD; anti-drug antibody incidence measured following dosing."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Change in serum cytokines/chemokines and peripheral blood lymphocyte counts (absolute values and fold-change) from baseline through 72 hours post-dosing with IMC-M113V in SAD and MAD schedules and during Follow-Up.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Serum cytokines/chemokines and peripheral blood lymphocyte counts assessed as absolute values and fold-change from baseline through 72 hours post-dose and during follow-up."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- \tProportion of participants with pVL < 200 copies/mL 12 weeks after interruption of ART (W24)\n- \tProportion of participants resuming ART before W24\n- \tDuration of post-treatment control (pVL < 200 copies/mL) after interruption of ART\n- \tDuration of virological suppression (pVL <1000 copies/mL) after interruption of ART\n- Identification of at least 1 tolerable dosing regimen for further evaluation in subsequent development","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Virological endpoints assessed after analytical treatment interruption (ATI), with pVL thresholds (<200 and <1000 copies/mL) measured at scheduled visits (including W24) to determine proportions, durations of post-treatment control, and ART resumption; identification of tolerable dosing regimen based on safety and PD outcomes."}
