Study in Cat-Allergic Patients With Asthma to Evaluate the Efficacy of a Single Dose of REGN1908-1909 to Reduce Bronchoconstriction Upon Cat Allergen Challenge

Phase 2

Completed

Conditions: Mild Asthma
Cat Allergy

Interventions: Drug: REGN1908-1909
Drug: Placebo

Registration Number: NCT03838731

Lead Sponsor: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

Brief Summary: The primary objective is to evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of REGN1908-1909 (anti-Fel d 1) administered as a single dose on day 1 in cat-allergic asthmatic patients not living with a cat in the prevention of a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge-induced early asthmatic response (EAR) assessed by measures of lung function (FEV1) compared to placebo-treated patients.

Secondary Efficacy Objectives:

* To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of REGN1908-1909 administered as a single dose on day 1 in cat-allergic asthmatic patients not living with a cat, in the prevention of a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge-induced: Allergic rhinitis and Ocular symptoms

* To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of REGN1908-1909 administered as a single dose on day 1 in cat-allergic asthmatic patients not living with a cat to increase the exposure to cat allergen, measured as a product of minute ventilation and time, required to induce EAR in a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge as compared to placebo patients

Secondary Safety Objective:

* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN1908-1909 vs. placebo in patients with cat allergen-triggered asthma

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time to Early Asthmatic Response (EAR) Upon Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge in an Environmental Exposure Unit (EEU) on Day 8	Day 8	Time to EAR was defined as the time to a ≥20% reduction in FEV1 or when the participant voluntarily departed the EEU due to clinically significant allergic and/or asthmatic symptoms.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time to EAR Upon Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge in an EEU on Days 29, 57, and 85	Days 29, 57 and 85	Time to EAR was defined as the time to a ≥20% reduction in FEV1 or when the participant voluntarily departed the EEU due to clinically significant allergic and/or asthmatic symptoms
Number of Non-Serious and Serious Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Through End of Study	Baseline to 16 weeks	Adverse events and serious adverse events were collected from the time of informed consent signature and then at each visit until the end of the study with the exception of symptoms that occurred in response to the EEU within 24 hours following the EEU.
Change in Normalized Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Induced by a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge Over Exposure Interval From Baseline to Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge on Days 8, 29, 57, and 85	Days 8, 29, 57, and 85	The AUC was analyzed by mixed-effect model repeated measures (MMRM) with the treatment, time, treatment-by-time interaction, and day of challenge as factors and baseline FEV1 AUC as a continuous covariate.
Change From Baseline in the Normalized AUC in Patient-Assessed Ocular Symptoms Induced by a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge Over the Exposure Interval to the Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge on Days 8, 29, 57, and 85	Days 8, 29, 57 and 85	Individual ocular symptoms for itching/burning, redness, swelling/puffiness, and tearing/watery eyes were evaluated on a 4-point Likert scale (0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; and 3, severe) and combined to give the TOSS, with a maximum score of 12. Score range is 0-12. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms.
Mean Change From Baseline in Cat Allergen Quantity as Experienced by Participants During Exposure on Days 8, 29, 57, and 85	Days 8, 29, 57 and 85	Cat Allergen Exposure Tolerated in ng = Minute Ventilation (L/min) x Allergen Concentration (ng/m3) x Time in EEU (minutes), where 1 L/min = 0.001 m3/min. The change in cat allergen quantity (tolerated exposure) from the baseline Cat Allergen Challenge, will be analyzed using a similar MMRM model with treatment, visit and treatment by-visit interaction as factors and the cat allergen quantity tolerated in the baseline Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge as a covariate.
Percent Change in Normalized Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Induced by a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge Over Exposure Interval From Baseline to Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge on Days 8, 29, 57, and 85	Days 8, 29, 57, and 85	The AUC was analyzed by mixed-effect model repeated measures (MMRM) with the treatment, time, treatment-by-time interaction, and day of challenge as factors and baseline FEV1 AUC as a continuous covariate.
Change From Baseline in the Normalized AUC of Patient-Assessed Nasal Symptoms Induced by a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge Over the Exposure Interval to the Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge on Days 8, 29, 57, and 85	Days 8, 29, 57 and 85	Individual nasal symptoms, including rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching, and sneezing were evaluated on a 4-point Likert scale (0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; and 3, severe) and combined to give the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) with a maximum score of 12. Scale range is 0-12. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms.
Percent Change in Cat Allergen Quantity as Experienced by Participants During Exposure on Days 8, 29, 57, and 85	Days 8, 29, 57 and 85	Cat Allergen Exposure Tolerated in ng = Minute Ventilation (L/min) x Allergen Concentration (ng/m3) x Time in EEU (minutes), where 1 L/min = 0.001 m3/min. The change in cat allergen quantity (tolerated exposure) from the baseline Cat Allergen Challenge, will be analyzed using a similar MMRM model with treatment, visit and treatment by-visit interaction as factors and the cat allergen quantity tolerated in the baseline Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge as a covariate.
