E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary objective of this clinical trial is the assessment of pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of IFX-1 in patients with moderate to severe HS.
•The PK is measured by plasma concentration of IFX-1 which is determined several times after administration of IFX-1
Analysis of plasma concentration of IFX-1 will comprise the following measures:
• Plasma concentration at each timepoint,
Parameters will be assessed for each of the nine infusions.
PD is primarily measured by plasma concentration of free, detectable C5a which is determined several times after administration of IFX-1.
Plasma concentration of free, detectable C5a will be described by:
• Plasma concentration of free C5a at each time point
• Relative and absolute change of plasma concentration of free detectable C5a at each time point compared to baseline (i.e., Day 1)
A secondary object of the trial is to describe efficacy of IFX-1. Key efficacy endpoints are:
• Clinical Hidradenitis suppurativa parameters
- Absolute and percentage change from baseline (i.e., Day 1) in AN count per time point
• HiSCR
-HiSCR response per time point
•HS-PGA
- Achievement of HS-PGA of clear, minimal, or mild among patients with at least 2 grades improvement (reduction) from baseline (i.e., Day 1) at Day 22, 50, 134
- HS-PGA score per time point
• VAS pain
- Achievement of at least a 30% reduction and at least a 10 mm reduction in skin pain (VAS), among patients who had a baseline pain assessment ≥ 30 mm (i.e., assessment at Day 1)
- VAS pain score per time point and change compared to the VAS pain score at baseline (i.e., Day 1)
•VAS disease
- VAS disease score per time point and change compared to the VAS disease score at baseline (i.e., Day 1).
• DLQI
- DLQI per time point and change compared to baseline DLQI (i.e., Day 1) over time
