Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to estimate the efficacy of apremilast compared to placebo in the treatment of oral ulcers in pediatric participants from 2 to < 18 years of age with oral ulcers associated with Behçet's disease (BD) through week 12.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or Female participants 2 to < 18 years of age at randomization.
  • Diagnosed with BD meeting the ISGBD criteria at any time prior to the screening visit.
  • Oral ulcers that occurred ≥ 3 times within the 12-month period prior to the screening visit.
  • Participant must have ≥ 2 oral ulcers at both the screening visit and on day
  • Participant has had prior treatment with ≥ 1 non-biologic BD therapy, such as, but not limited to, topical corticosteroids or systemic treatment.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Behçet's disease-related active major organ involvement - pulmonary (eg, pulmonary artery aneurysm), vascular (eg, thrombophlebitis), gastrointestinal (eg, ulcers along the gastrointestinal tract), or CNS (eg, meningoencephalitis) manifestations, or ocular lesions (eg, uveitis) requiring immunosuppressive therapy; however:
  • Previous major organ involvement is allowed if it occurred ≥1 year prior to the screening visit and is not active at time of enrollment
  • Participants with mild BD-related ocular lesions not requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy are allowed
  • Participants with BD-related arthritis and BD-skin manifestations are also allowed.
  • Previous exposure to biologic therapies for the treatment of BD oral ulcers, previous biologic exposure is allowed for other indications (including other manifestations of BD).

Arms & Interventions

Apremilast

Experimental

Participants will receive apremilast orally in the double-blind 12 week treatment phase. Then the participants will continue to receive apremilast in the active 40 weeks treatment phase.

Intervention: Apremilast (Drug)

Placebo to Apremilast

Placebo Comparator

Participants will receive the matching placebo orally in the double-blind 12 week treatment phase. Then the participants will receive apremilast in the active 40 weeks treatment phase.

Intervention: Apremilast (Drug)

Placebo to Apremilast

Placebo Comparator

Participants will receive the matching placebo orally in the double-blind 12 week treatment phase. Then the participants will receive apremilast in the active 40 weeks treatment phase.

Intervention: Placebo (Drug)
