E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary safety objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CCX168 in subjects with AAV on background cyclophosphamide or rituximab treatment. Primary efficacy objective is to evaluate the efficacy of CCX168 based on the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. Evaluation of the efficacy of CCX168 compared to standard of care (SOC) based on changes in renal disease activity parameters:
a. eGFR (MDRD serum creatinine equation);
b. Hematuria (central laboratory microscopic count of urinary RBCs); and
c. Albuminuria (first morning urinary albumin:creatinine ratio);
2. Assessment of changes in renal inflammatory activity based on urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP 1):creatinine ratio
and serum C-reactive protein concentration
3. Assessment of the feasibility of reducing or eliminating the use of corticosteroids in the treatment of subjects with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) without the need for rescue corticosteroid measures
4. Assessment of health-related quality-of-life changes based on SF- 36v2 and EQ-5D-5L
5. Assessment of changes in VDI
6. Assessment of changes in ANCA
7. Assessment of changes in pharmacodynamics markers in plasma and urine ;
8. Evaluation of the pharmacokinetic profile of CCX168 |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Clinical diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's), microscopic polyangiitis or renal limited vasculitis, consistent with Chapel-Hill consensus definitions (Jennette et al., 2013);
2. Male and postmenopausal (lack of menses for at least 2 years without an alternative explanation) or surgically sterile female subjects, aged at least 18 years, with new (within 4 weeks prior to screening) or relapsed AAV where treatment with cyclophosphamide or rituximab would be required; If female under 50 years, the postmenopausal status should be confirmed by the relevant hormonal test. Male subjects with partners of childbearing potential may participate in the study if they had a vasectomy at least 6 months prior to randomization or if adequate contraception is used during, and for at least the three months after study completion; Adequate contraception is defined as resulting in a failure rate of less than 1% per year; acceptable methods include combined estrogen and progestogen (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal), or progestogen-only hormonal contraception (oral, injectable, or implantable), intra-uterine device, intrauterine hormone releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner, or sexual abstinence;
3. Positive indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) test for P-ANCA or CANCA, or positive ELISA test for anti-proteinase-3 (PR3) or antimyeloperoxidase
(MPO) at screening; If only the IIF assay is positive at screening, and none of the ELISA tests, there must be documentation in the study records of a positive ELISA assay in the past;
4. Have at least one "major" item, or at least 3 non-major items, or at least 2 renal items on the BVAS version 3 (see section 11.3);
5. eGFR ≥20 mL per minute (MDRD);
6. Willing and able to give written Informed Consent and to comply with the requirements of the study protocol; and
7. Judged to be otherwise healthy by the Investigator, based on medical history, physical examination (including electrocardiogram [ECG]), and
clinical laboratory assessments. Subjects with clinical laboratory values that are outside of normal limits (other than those specified in the Exclusion Criteria) and/or with other abnormal clinical findings that are judged by the Investigator not to be of clinical significance, may be entered into the study. |

If on an oral corticosteriod at a daily dose of more than 10 mg prednisone equivalent at the time of screening, the oral dose needs to be reduced to a daily dose not exceeding 10 mg prednisone equivalent prior to Day 1;
7.Received rituximab or other B-cell antibody within 52 weeks of screening or 26 weeks provided B cell reconstitution has occurred (i.e. CD19 count > 0.01x10^9/L); received anti-TNF treatment, abatacept, alemtuzumab, IVIg, belimumab, tocilizumab, or plasma exchange within 12 weeks prior to screening;
8.Symptomatic congestive heart failure requiring prescription medication, clinically evident peripheral edema of cardiac origin, poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >160 or diastolic blood pressure >100), history of unstable angina, myocardial infarction or stroke within 6 months prior to screening;
9.History or presence of any form of cancer within the 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of excised basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or cervical carcinoma in situ or breast carcinoma in situ that has been excised or resected completely and is without evidence of local recurrence or metastasis;

14.WBC count less than 4000/uL or neutrophil count less than 2000/uL, or lymphocyte count less than 1000/uL
