Study Summary

The main aim of the study is to assess if TAK-101 can reduce gluten related symptoms and immune activation in adult participants with celiac disease (CeD) on a gluten-free diet (GFD).

Participants will receive TAK-101 and/or placebo through the vein on Day 1 and Day 8. All participants will receive active treatment at Week 24.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Biopsy-confirmed CeD that is well-controlled, defined as mild or with no ongoingsigns or symptoms felt to be related to active CeD and with immunoglobulin A (IgA)tissue transglutaminase (tTG) <2 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and IgG deamidatedgliadin peptide (DGP) <3 × ULN. Note: Participants may be retested for IgA tTG and IgG DGP to meet eligibilitycriteria at the discretion of the investigator. Intermittent symptoms would notexclude participants from participation as long as symptoms are generally wellcontrolled in the opinion of the investigator, and as long as symptoms are back tobaseline for 2 weeks before the run-in gluten challenge.

  2. Must be able to maintain a gluten-free diet (GFD) for ≥6 months.

  3. Must be HLA-DQ2.5 and/or HLA-DQ8 positive during screening laboratory testing.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Has received any investigational compound within 12 weeks (84 days) or 5 half-lives,whichever is longer, before signing of the informed consent form (ICF).

  2. Has received TAK-101 in a previous clinical study.

  3. Has presence of other inflammatory gastrointestinal (GI) disorders or systemicautoimmune diseases, that either have the potential to cause persistent GI symptomssimilar to CeD or are not well controlled without the use of excluded medications.

  • Examples of conditions that are exclusionary include: inflammatory boweldisease, eosinophilic gastroenteritis or colitis, and microscopic colitisrequiring treatment in the 6 months before screening.

  • Examples of conditions that may be permissible after discussion with themedical monitor/or sponsor include: systemic autoimmune disease such asscleroderma, psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis, lupus that is stable andwithout GI involvement, well controlled autoimmune thyroid disease, wellcontrolled type 1 diabetes or proton pump inhibitor -responsive eosinophilicesophagitis in symptomatic and histologically confirmed remission.

  1. Has known or suspected refractory CeD or ulcerative jejunitis.

  2. Has known or suspected allergy to wheat, such as hypersensitivity and/or anaphylaxisincluding wheat-dependent-exercise induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA). If there is apossible history of urticaria, angioedema, or anaphylaxis to wheat, investigatorsshould perform testing for wheat anti-Immunoglobulin (anti-IgE) antibodies or referto an allergist for evaluation prior to enrollment to rule out any of theseallergies.

  3. Ongoing systemic immunosuppressant, systemic (oral or IV) corticosteroid treatment,or has received treatment with systemic immunosuppressants or corticosteroids in the 12 weeks before run-in gluten challenge.

  4. Has known or suspected clinically significant liver disease or positive test resultfor hepatitis B or C.

  5. Has intolerable symptoms after the run-in gluten challenge and is unwilling toundergo subsequent post treatment gluten challenges.

  6. Has known allergy to or intolerance of TAK-101 or any of its ingredients orexcipients. Also, any subject with a symptomatic allergic reaction that is confirmedby laboratory serology such as elevated tryptase levels following the administrationof TAK-101 will be excluded from future dosing.

  7. Has a current diagnosis of active malignancy or malignancy diagnosed in the 5 yearsprior to screening or is receiving ongoing treatment for malignancy.

Study Description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-101. TAK-101 is being tested to treat people who have celiac disease. The study has 2 cohorts planned. Cohort 1 has 1 dose level and the Cohort 2 may include 1 or 2 additional dose levels, depending on safety, tolerability, and activity observed in Cohort 1. Dosing in the Cohort 2 will be based on data from Cohort 1.

The study will enroll approximately 90 patients. In Cohort 1, approximately 45 participants will be randomly assigned in 1:2:2 ratio in one of the three arm groups which will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need). Eligible participants in Cohort 1 will receive:

  • Group A: 2 infusion doses of placebo, 1 infusion dose on Day 1 and 1 infusion dose on Day 8, followed by 1 infusion dose of 25 micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg) Gluten Epitopes (GE) TAK-101 at Week 24.

  • Group B: 1 infusion dose of 25 µg/kg GE TAK-101 on Day 1 followed by 1 infusion dose of placebo on Day 8, followed by 1 infusion dose of 25 µg/kg GE TAK-101 at Week 24.

  • Group C: 2 infusion doses of 25 µg/kg GE TAK-101, 1 infusion dose on Day 1 and 1 infusion dose on Day 8, followed by 1 infusion dose of 25 µg/kg GE TAK-101 at Week

If it is deemed appropriate to enroll both the TAK-101 50 µg/kg GE and the 12.5 µg/kg GE dose levels in Cohort 2, approximately 45 participants may be randomly assigned in 1:2:2 ratio in Cohort 2 to receive:

  • Group A: Two infusion doses of placebo, 1 infusion dose on Day 1 and 1 infusion dose on Day 8, followed by 1 infusion dose of 25 µg/kg GE TAK-101 at Week 24.

  • Group D: Two infusion doses of 50 µg/kg GE TAK-101, 1 infusion dose on Day 1 and 1 infusion dose on Day 8, followed by 1 infusion dose of 50 µg/kg GE TAK-101 at Week

  • Group F: Two infusion doses of 12.5 µg/kg GE TAK-101, 1 infusion dose on Day 1 and 1 infusion dose on Day 8, followed by 1 infusion dose of 12.5 µg/kg GE TAK-101 at Week

If it is decided not to open the second cohort at the 50 µg/kg GE dose level and if 1 2.5 µg/kg GE dose is recommended to be tested by the independent data monitoring committee (IDMC), approximately 27 participants will be randomly assigned in 1:2 ratio to receive:

  • Group E: Two infusion doses of placebo, 1 infusion dose on Day 1 and 1 infusion dose on Day 8, followed by 1 infusion dose of 12.5 µg/kg GE TAK-101 at Week 24.

  • Group F: Two infusion doses of 12.5 µg/kg GE TAK-101, 1 infusion dose on Day 1 and 1 infusion dose on Day 8, followed by 1 infusion dose of 12.5 µg/kg TAK-101 at Week

This trial will be conducted globally. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 34 weeks. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and will be contacted by telephone OR plus a final visit after receiving their last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.
