Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of daxdilimab compared to placebo in reducing SLE disease activity at week 48 in participants treated with standard-of-care therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The final trial protocol and informed consent form (ICF) received written approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) before participant enrollment. The Investigator informed the IRB/IEC of any protocol amendments and obtained their approval, except in urgent safety cases. All advertising for participant recruitment was approved by the IRB/IEC. The protocol underwent IRB/IEC re-approval upon each amendment and annually as per local regulations. The Investigator ensured compliance with IRB/IEC requirements and provided reports, including serious adverse drug reactions, to the IRB/IEC. The Sponsor facilitated this process. The trial adhered to International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH)/Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards, regulatory requirements, and the Sponsor's ethical policies. The Investigator obtained written informed consent from participants before trial commencement. Consent documentation complied with regulations and ICH E6(R2). Participants were informed of record review by relevant parties and given the opportunity to ask questions. Consent allowed for record access for at least 25 years. The Investigator retained the original signed and dated ICF, with a copy given to the participant. The Sponsor reserved the right to delay trial initiation at sites not meeting consent document standards. An external Safety Data Monitoring Committee (SDMC) oversaw participant safety and trial integrity by reviewing accumulating safety data. It provided recommendations to the Sponsor regarding trial conduct and participant management. The SDMC members were independent of the Sponsor and any collaborating organizations.

    SLEDAI-2K Score
    The SLEDAI-2K assessment consists of 24 lupus-related items. It is a weighted instrument, in which descriptors are multiplied by an organ’s “weight”. For example, renal descriptors are multiplied by 4 and CNS descriptors by 8; these weighted organ manifestations are totalled into the final score. The scores range from 0 to 105, with higher scores indicating more severe disease activity.

    End point description
    CLASI-A evaluates erythema (0-3 [higher scores indicate more severe redness]), scale/hypertrophy (0-2 [higher scores indicate more extensive scaling/thickening]), mucous membrane lesions (0 [absent] or 1 [present]), recent hair loss (0 [absent] or 1 [present]), and non-scarring alopecia (0-3 [(higher scores indicate more extensive hair loss without scarring]) at 13 anatomical sites on the skin. Total score is calculated by summing scores across all anatomical locations for each parameter. Higher total scores indicate greater disease activity and severity in SLE. Reduction of 50% in CLASI-A score was defined by meeting all following conditions: 1) A ≥ 50% reduction of CLASI-A score at Week 12 as compared to baseline. 2) No use of restricted medications beyond protocol-allowed threshold before assessment. 3) No discontinuation IP. FAS: included all randomized participants who received any dose of IP. Only participants with a CLASI-A score ≥ 10 at baseline were included in the analysis.

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of an intervention in humans whether or not it is considered intervention-related. TEAEs are AEs that started on or after the first dose of IP. An AE was considered serious (SAE) if it resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolonged existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or an important medical event. AE severity was rated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0: grade 1 (mild), grade 2 (moderate), grade 3 (severe), grade 4 (life-threatening), grade 5 (death). SAS: included all participants who received any dose of IP. Participants were analyzed according to the treatment that they received.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Feb 2022
    • Clarified, in inclusion criterion 8, that women of childbearing potential were to have negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at randomization and must refrain from egg retrieval and donation while receiving IP. • Clarified, in inclusion criterion 8, that if a change in birth control methods occurred during the trial the participant must employ a barrier method in addition to the highly effective method of contraception for at least 2 months, unless the participant was changing the method to complete abstinence. • Updated the definition of women of childbearing potential throughout the protocol. • Clarified, in exclusion criterion 2, that the Sponsor and Central Review Committee may also review a participant’s screening data and find reason not to allow participation in the trial. • Updated exclusion criterion 5 to standardize the amount of time that breastfeeding or pregnant women would be followed after receiving the last dose of IP. • Updated exclusion criterion 10 to add the mg/mmol exclusionary value as it is generally used at ex-United States sites. • Updated exclusion criterion 13 to clarify actions for indeterminate IFN-gamma release assay (IGRA) test results. • Removed the example of fever from exclusion criterion 18 as it can be a manifestation of lupus and thus possibly confusing. • Updated exclusion criterion 19 to clarify the definition of clinically significant cardiac disease. • Updated exclusion criterion 23 to include conventional anti-rheumatic doses for treatment of SLE. • Removed direct Coombs testing, as the specimen has limited stability that often does not allow testing to be performed by the central laboratory within the stability period due to courier transit time and is not needed on a routine basis.
    10 Feb 2022
    • Clarified that the Week 48 Visit was also considered an Early Termination Visit and that the Safety Follow-up Period was only for participants who completed the 48-week Treatment Period; specified that participants who permanently discontinued IP should be followed after final IP administration. • Removed PGI of Change on Day 1, as the PG of Change is designed to assess post-treatment change and, therefore, was assessed beginning with the first post-treatment visit. • Updated the 28-Joint Count section to align with the current SLEDAI-2K joint count arthritis definition. • Allowed for additional time at Week 24 for vital sign measurement, laboratory sample collection and ECG recording prior to dosing. • Clarified that tuberculosis (TB) assessments at Screening were to occur only at the central laboratory. • Clarified that if Baseline skin sample(s) were not collected (pre-dose), the subsequent visit samples should not be collected. • Clarified that if the Baseline DNA/epigenetic sample (for consenting participants) was not collected (pre-dose), the subsequent visit samples should still be collected. • Provided guidance on collection times and windows for the optional fecal microbiome sample. • Updated the Sponsor’s Quality Assurance contact information for reporting product complaints. • Removed the specific gauge size from the description of IP dose preparation, as specific needles could not be supplied at certain sites. • Clarified how anti-COVID therapeutic antibody treatment was to be handled. • Clarified limitations for the permitted use of as-needed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs). • Clarified that AESI for viral infection and reactivation only included those that were Grade 3 or higher and all cases of opportunistic infections listed in Appendix 3 of the protocol. • Clarified that AESIs only needed to be immediately reported after randomization and updated the contact information for immediate reporting.
