Study of Ianalumab Versus Placebo in Addition to First-line Corticosteroids in Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Phase 3
Recruiting
Conditions
Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Drug: Corticosteroids
Registration Number
NCT05653349
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different doses of ianalumab versus placebo in addition to first-line corticosteroids in maintaining platelet count ≥30 G/L in adult participants with primary ITP.

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind Phase 3 study to assess the efficacy and safety of two different doses of ianalumab compared to placebo in adults with primary ITP (platelets count \<30 G/L) who require first-line standard-of-care corticosteroids.

After completion of the screening period, the participants will enter the randomized treatment period (ianalumab/placebo with standard of care corticosteroids).

After the treatment period, all participants will enter the follow-up period to be monitored for efficacy and safety or safety only depending on how they respond to the study treatment.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Signed informed consent prior to participation in the study.
  • Male or female participants aged 18 years and older on the day of signing informed consent
  • Primary ITP diagnosed within 3 months before initiating first-line ITP therapy (corticosteroids, IVIG)
  • Platelet count below 30 G/L before starting any first-line ITP therapy (corticosteroids, IVIG)
  • Response (platelet count >=50 G/L) to corticosteroids (+/- IVIG) at any time prior to randomization. Note: Platelet count measured within 7 days of platelet transfusion will not be considered as response.

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  • Evans syndrome or any other cytopenia (patients with low grade anemia related to bleeding or iron deficiency are eligible)
  • Current life-threatening bleeding
  • Previous ITP treatment, including splenectomy, except for corticosteroids and/or IVIG initiated as first-line therapy for up to 28 days before randomization and rescue corticosteroids and/or IVIG given prior to confirmed diagnosis of primary ITP .
  • Prior use of B-cell depleting therapy (e.g., rituximab).
  • Absolute neutrophil count below 1.0 G/L at randomization
  • Participants with concurrent coagulation disorders and/or receiving anti-platelet or anticoagulant medication with an exemption of low dose of acetylsalicylic acid

Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion may apply.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complete Response (CR) rate in each treatment groupRandomization to end of study (up to 39 months after randomization of last patient)

Complete Response (CR) rate at each timepoint defined as the proportion of participants with any platelet count of at least 100 G/L in the absence of rescue treatment or new ITP treatment.

Response (R) rate in each treatment groupRandomization to end of study (up to 39 months after randomization of last patient)

Response (R) rate at each timepoint defined as the proportion of participants with any platelet count of at least 50 G/L in the absence of rescue treatment or new ITP treatment.

Time to complete response in each treatment groupRandomization to end of study (up to 39 months after randomization of last patient)

Time from randomization to date of first complete response.

Stable response at 6 monthsAt 6 months

Percentage of participants with at least 2 platelet count collected at month 6 (between study dates 107 and 183) and at least 66% of platelet counts qualified as a response

Stable response at 1 yearAt 1 year

Percentage of participants with at least 2 platelet counts collected at year 1 (between study days 296 and 379) and at least 66% of platelet counts qualified as a response

Percentage of participants with bleeding events overall and by World Health Organization (WHO) bleeding scale severityRandomization to end of study (up to 39 months after randomization of last patient)

This is to assess the incidence and severity of bleeding in each treatment arm

Number of participants with bleeding events overall and by World Health Organization (WHO) bleeding scale severityRandomization to end of study (up to 39 months after randomization of last patient)
