Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Interventions
Drug: Placebo for Rozibafusp Alfa
Registration Number
NCT04058028
Lead Sponsor
Amgen
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if Rozibafusp Alfa could be a useful therapeutic agent in the current treatment landscape where subjects with SLE have ongoing disease activity despite treatment with standard of care therapies.

Detailed Description

This is a Bayesian adaptive phase 2b, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 52-week, dose-ranging study in subjects with active SLE and inadequate response to SOC therapies including oral corticosteroids (OCS), immunosuppressants and immunomodulators. Previous biologic use is allowed with an adequate washout period.

Annualized Moderate and Severe Flare Rate Over 52 Weeks as Measured by Safety of Estrogens in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus National Assessment [SELENA] -Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index [SLEDAI] Flare Index (SFI)Up to Week 52

The SFI, serves as a composite outcome measure incorporating the SELENA-SLEDAI score, and classifications of flares into mild, moderate, and severe, along with the PGA of disease activity. The SFI details specific clinical manifestations for each organ system and categorizes flares into mild, moderate, and severe based on treatment decisions. Moderate and severe flare: • Moderate: meeting criteria like SELENA-SLEDAI score change of 3 to 12 points, SLE symptom development, prednisone dose increase, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)/hydrochloroquine addition, or PGA score increase by 1 to 2.5. • Severe: meeting criteria like SELENA-SLEDAI increase over 12 points, onset or worsening of severe symptoms, significant prednisone dose escalation, introduction of potent immunosuppressants, hospitalization, or PGA score reaching 2.5 or higher. Annualized flare rate was calculated as the number of flares divided by flare exposure time in days, multiplied by 365.25 for each Group.

Annualized Severe Flare Rate Over 52 Weeks as Measured by SFIUp to Week 52

The SFI, serves as a composite outcome measure incorporating the SELENA-SLEDAI score, and classifications of flares into mild, moderate, and severe, along with the PGA of disease activity. The SFI details specific clinical manifestations for each organ system and categorizes flares into mild, moderate, and severe based on treatment decisions. Severe flare: meeting criteria like SELENA-SLEDAI increase over 12 points, onset or worsening of severe symptoms, significant prednisone dose escalation, introduction of potent immunosuppressants, hospitalization, or PGA score reaching 2.5 or higher. The annualized flare rate was calculated as the number of flares divided by the flare exposure time in days, multiplied by 365.25 for each Group.

Annualized Flares Rate Over 52 Weeks as Measured by BILAG Score Designation of "Worse" or "New" Resulting in a B-Score In ≥ 2 Organs or an A-Score in ≥ 1 OrganUp to Week 52

The BILAG flare index was derived from BILAG 2004, as measured by BILAG score designation of 'worse' or 'new' resulting in a B score in \>= 2 organs or an A score in \>= 1 organ.

The annualized flare rate was calculated as the number of flares divided by the flare exposure time in days, multiplied by 365.25 for each Group.

Number of Participants With ≥6 Tender and Swollen Joints in Hands and Wrists at Baseline Achieving ≥50% Improvement From Baseline at Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52Week 12, 24, 36, and 52

The tender and swollen joint count is a physical assessment where for each swollen and tender joint a score of 1 is assigned. Scores are then summed up to provide a total score for both swollen and tender joints. Higher total score indicate a severe disease activity and a lower score indicates a lees severe disease activity.

Number of Participants With a Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Area and Severity Index (CLASI) Activity Score ≥8 at Baseline Achieving ≥50% Improvement From Baseline at Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52Week 12, 24, 36, and 52

The CLASI is an assessment tool consisting of two scores: one for disease activity and one for damage. Activity Score: Ranges from 0 to 70, and is assessed based on erythema, scale/hyperkeratosis, mucous membrane involvement, acute hair loss, and non-scarring alopecia. Higher scores indicate more severe disease activity.

Damage Score: Ranges from 0 to 56, and is evaluated through dyspigmentation and scarring, including scarring alopecia. Dyspigmentation that remains visible for more than 12 months is considered permanent, and its score is doubled. Higher scores indicate greater damage.

The scores of all 7 items are summed up with a total raw score range of 7(low level of fatigue)-35(high level of fatigue). Raw scores are converted to a T-score ranging from 29.4(low level of fatigue)-83.2(high level of fatigue).

Number of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Up to approximately 68 weeks

An adverse event (AE) was any negative medical occurrence linked to an intervention in humans, regardless of its relation to the intervention. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were those that occurred after the first intervention dose. A serious adverse event (SAE) included outcomes such as death, life-threatening situations, hospitalization or an extended hospital stay, significant incapacity, congenital defects, or other crucial medical events. AE severity followed the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 scale: grade 1 (mild), grade 2 (moderate), grade 3 (severe), grade 4 (life-threatening), and grade 5 (death). Clinically significant laboratory results or other assessments (e.g., ECGs, scans, vital signs) that worsened from baseline and were deemed important by the investigator, independent of disease progression, were also considered.
