Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), laboratory
abnormalities, 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, and interval
measurements, and vital sign measurement, after a single dose.
Secondary outcome
• Inhibition of complement activity for example as measured by serum total
hemolytic complement (CH50) over time
• Change from baseline and time course of unbound C1q in serum
• Unbound C1q in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
• Serum ANX105 concentrations over time
• Serum unbound ANX105 single dose PK parameters
• CSF unbound ANX105 concentrations
Background summary
Annexon is developing ANX105 as a possible treatment for neurological and
autoimmune indications where complement 1q (C1q) likely contributes to the
pathophysiology. This Phase 1 study exposes humans to ANX105 for the first
time. The objectives of this first in human (FIH) study are to evaluate, in a
stepwise fashion, the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD), and
pharmacokinetics (PK) of single ascending doses of ANX105. Within each cohort,
unique healthy participants have been selected for this study to remove
potential confounding effects of target disease and/or therapies. In addition,
this study design, conducted within a confined Phase 1 unit, generates safety
data for the expected therapeutic range of drug exposures planned for
evaluation in subsequent studies.
Study objective
Primary
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending IV doses of
ANX105 in normal healthy participants
Secondary
• To characterize the single-dose PD of ANX105
• To characterize the single-dose PK of ANX105
Study design
This is a single-center, first in human (FIH) randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled single ascending dose study in healthy adult participants
Intervention
ANX105, Cohort 1: single doses of 1 mg/kg, cohort 2: single <= 3 mg/kg and
additional dose levels to be determined
Placebo
Study burden and risks
Risk Assessment
Hypersensitivity
Biologic drugs have the potential to cause allergic hypersensitivity reactions.
Autoimmunity
Autoimmune diseases have developed in patients with genetic C1q deficiency.
Local administration site reactions
IV administrations have the potential to cause local and systemic
infusion-related reactions.
Infection with encapsulated bacteria
Available human data suggest that C1q genetic deficiency is associated with an
increased risk of infection with encapsulated bacteria.
Benefit Assessment
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability,
PK, and PD of ANX105 in healthy participants.
There is no expected therapeutic benefit for participants in this study.
Overall Benefit: Risk Conclusion
Measures are taken to minimize risk to participants participating in this study
(close monitoring, ANA screening, vaccination (from cohort 3 and up) and clear
stopping rules). During clinical conduct of cohort 2, several infusion related
reactions were observed. To migitate this risk, the infusion duration will be
significantly extended from 2 hours to 9.5 hours (first half of the cohort)/6.7
hours (second half of the cohort). Besides that, continuous monitoring of vital
signs will be performed during the infusion and subjects will receive
pre-medication in the form of paracetamol and anti-allergy medication.
Participants in this study may contribute to the process of developing a
potential anti-C1q therapy.

Inclusion criteria
Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all the following
criteria apply:
Age
1. Participants must be 18 (or the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction in
which the study is taking place) to 55 years of age inclusive, at the time of
signing the informed consent.
Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics
2. Participants who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation
including medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.
Weight
3. Body weight within the range 45 kg to 110 kg and body mass index (BMI)
within the range >=18.0 kg/m2 to <=33.5 kg/m2 (inclusive) at the Day -1 visit.
Sex and Contraceptive/Barrier Requirements
4. Participants who are male or female
Contraceptive use by men and women should be consistent with local regulations
regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical
studies.
a. Male participants:
Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following
during the intervention period and for at least 90 days after the dose:
• Refrain from donating fresh unwashed semen
Plus, either:
o Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual
lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain
abstinent
OR
o Must agree to use a male condom and should also be advised of the benefit for
a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as a condom
may break or leak when having sexual intercourse with a woman of childbearing
potential who is not currently pregnant
b. Female participants:
• A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or
breastfeeding, and one of the following conditions applies:
o Is a woman of nonchildbearing potential (WONCBP) as defined in protocol
Appendix 4: Contraceptive and Barrier Guidance.
OR
o Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective, with a
failure rate of <1%, as described in protocol Appendix 4: Contraceptive and
Barrier Guidance during the study intervention period and for at least 90 days
after the dose. The Investigator should evaluate the potential for
contraceptive method failure (eg, noncompliance, recently initiated) in
relationship to the first dose of the study intervention.
• A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum
as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of
study intervention, see Protocol Section 8.2.7: Pregnancy Testing.
o If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a
serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be
excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
• Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study
intervention are outlined in protocol Section 8.2.7: Pregnancy Testing
• The Investigator is responsible for the review of medical history, menstrual
history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a
woman with early undetected pregnancy.
