Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Necrotizing Enterocolitis

Tests treatment safety and results for Necrotizing Enterocolitis

Official title Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of ST266 in Infants With Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06315738

What this study is testing

What is ST266?

ST266 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for necrotizing enterocolitis.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of two dose levels (0.5 mL/kg and 1.0 mL/kg) of once daily (QD) via IV route of administration of ST266 in treating patients with Bell's stage IIA or higher medical NEC by incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and SAEs, with a secondary objective to assess preliminary efficacy of the same two dose levels (0.5 mL/kg and 1.0 mL/kg) of QD via IV route of administration of ST266 in treating patients with Bell's stage IIA or higher medical NEC.
