Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This is a phase 2 study to evaluate the effects of sibeprenlimab 400 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) every 4 (Q4) weeks as an add-on to background treatment in participants with Sjögren's disease.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept study followed by an optional open-label extension to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sibeprenlimab 400 mg administered SC Q4 weeks as an add-on to background treatment in participants with Sjögren's disease.

The primary objective is to compare the effect of sibeprenlimab versus placebo added to background treatment on European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) scores at 28 weeks.

The key secondary objective is to compare the effect of sibeprenlimab versus placebo added to background treatment on European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Patient-Reported Index (ESSPRI) at 28 weeks.

Approximately 80 participants who have a diagnosis of Sjögren's disease according to the 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria will be randomized with approximately 40 participants in the sibeprenlimab group and 40 participants in the placebo group.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) score28 weeks

Higher scores on the ESSDAI indicate a worse outcome, as they reflect higher disease activity. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 123.

Proportion of participants with minimal clinical improvement, defined as Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) score increase of ≥ 4 from baselineAt 28 weeks

Higher FACIT-Fatigue scores indicate a better outcome, as they reflect less fatigue. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 52.

Time to the first occurrence of minimal clinical improvement in ESSDAIWeek 28
Time to the first occurrence of minimal clinical improvement in ESSPRIWeek 28
Percent change from baseline in total serum IgAWeek 28
Percent change from baseline in total serum IgGWeek 28
Change from baseline in European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Patient-Reported Index (ESSPRI) score28 weeks

Higher scores on the ESSPRI indicate a worse outcome, as they reflect higher levels of patient-reported symptoms. Minimum value is 0, maximum value is 10.

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)28 weeks
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) by National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) grade28 weeks
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) with an outcome of death28 weeks
Incidence of serious treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)28 weeks
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) leading to discontinuation of the investigational medicinal product (IMP)28 weeks
Proportion of participants with minimal clinical improvement defined as European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) reduction ≥ 3 points from baselineAt 28 weeks

Higher scores on the ESSDAI indicate a worse outcome, as they reflect higher disease activity. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 123.

Proportion of participants with minimal clinical improvement defined as European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Patient-Reported Index (ESSPRI) reduction ≥ 1 point from baselineAt 28 weeks

Higher scores on the ESSPRI indicate a worse outcome, as they reflect higher levels of patient-reported symptoms. Minimum value is 0, maximum value is 10.

Change from baseline in individual European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) domainsAt 28 weeks

Higher scores on the ESSDAI indicate a worse outcome, as they reflect higher disease activity. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 123.

Change from baseline in salivary flow rateAt 28 weeks
Change from baseline in tear flow rateAt 28 weeks
Change from baseline in Clinical European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ClinESSDAI) scoreAt 28 weeks

Higher scores on the ClinESSDAI indicate a worse outcome, as they reflect higher disease activity. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 123.

Change from baseline in Physician Global Assessment (PhGA) scoreAt 28 weeks

Higher scores on the PhGA indicate a worse outcome, as they reflect a higher assessment of disease activity or severity by the physician. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 10.

Change from baseline in Patient Global Assessment (PaGA) score of participant outcomesAt 28 weeks

Higher scores on the PaGA indicate a worse outcome, as they reflect a higher assessment of disease severity or impact by the patient. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 10.

Change from baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) scoreAt 28 weeks

Higher FACIT-Fatigue scores indicate a better outcome, as they reflect less fatigue. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 52.

Change from baseline in 36 Item Short-Form Survey Version 2 (SF-36v2) Physical Component Summary Scale score and Mental Component Summary Scale scoreAt 28 weeks

Higher scores on the SF-36v2 indicate a better outcome, as they reflect better health status and quality of life. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 100.

Change from baseline in patient-reported Sjögren's disease diary scoreAt 28 weeks

Higher diary score indicates more severe symptoms and greater impact on the patient's daily life. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 10.
