Efficacy and Safety of Atacicept in IgA Nephropathy

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
IgA Nephropathy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02808429
Lead Sponsor
EMD Serono Research & Development Institute, Inc.
Brief Summary

This main purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dose response and efficacy of Atacicept in participants with IgA nephropathy and persistent proteinuria. The study hypothesis was that treatment with Atacicept would reduce proteinuria compared to placebo.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESIs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation and TEAEs Leading to DeathBaseline up to 96 weeks

Adverse Event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with a study drug, which does not necessarily had a causal relationship with this treatment. Serious AE: AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAEs: AEs that developed or worsened/became serious during on-treatment period (time from the first dose of study drug up to the end of study \[Week 96\]). TEAEs included serious AEs and non- serous AEs. AESIs included infections, cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy/ ischemic heart disease, hypersensitivity reaction (including anaphylactic/anaphylactoid shock conditions, asthma/bronchospasm, and angioedema), injection site reactions (ISRs) and demyelinating disorders. Investigator or his /her designee assessed ISRs as local reactions (redness, bruising, swelling, induration and itching).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serum Atacicept ConcentrationsWeek 0 Day 1 (pre-dose), Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 40, 48, 72, Early Termination (up to Week 72) and Post-treatment (PT) Follow Up (FU) Weeks 4, 12 and 24

Serum Atacicept Concentrations was to be performed; however; as per changed in planned analysis the outcome measure related to pharmacokinetic parameters was not assessed.

Change From Baseline in Serum Galactose Deficient-IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) LevelsBaseline, Weeks 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, Early Termination (up to Week 72 and at PT FU Weeks 12 and 24

The change in serum Gd-IgA1 from baseline was reported.

Change From Baseline in Serum Complement C3 and C4 LevelsBaseline, Week 12, 24, 48, 72, Early Termination (up to Week 72) and at PT FU Weeks 12 and 24

The change in serum component C3 and C4 from baseline were reported.

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormalities in 12-Lead Electrocardiograms (ECGs)Baseline up to safety follow-up (96 weeks)

12-lead ECG were recorded after the participants have rested for at least 15 minutes in supine position. Clinically significance was decided by the investigator. The number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities in 12-lead ECG were reported.

Change From Baseline in Urinary IgG, IgA, and IgM LevelsBaseline (Day1), Weeks 24, 48 and Early Termination (up to earlier than Week 72)

Urinary IgG, IgA and IgM levels to be measured by Immuno-Electrophoresis.

Change From Baseline Levels in Serum Immunoglobulin A (IgA)Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, Early Termination (up to Week 72) and PT FU Weeks 4, 12 and 24

The change in serum levels of IgA from baseline was reported.

Change From Baseline Levels in Serum Iimmunoglobulin G (IgG)Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, Early Termination (up to Week 72) and PT FU Weeks 4, 12 and 24

The change in serum levels of IgG from baseline was reported.

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormalities in Laboratory AssessmentsBaseline up to safety follow-up (96 weeks)

Laboratory investigation included hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis and Urine sediment analysis. Clinical significance was to be decided by the investigator.

Change From Baseline Levels in Serum Immunoglobulin M (IgM)Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, Early Termination (up to Week 72) and at PT FU Weeks 4, 12 and 24

The change in serum levels of IgM from baseline was reported.

Change From Baseline in Immune Cell Subsets by Flow Cytometry AnalysisBaseline, Weeks 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, Early Termination (up to Week 72) and at PT FU Week 24

Change from baseline in immune cell subsets included total T cells, helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, total B cells (assay with \[AW\] CD45 or assay without \[AWO\] CD45), mature naïve B cells, memory B cells, plasma cells, plasma blasts, and natural killer (NK) cells and were reported. Analysis was performed by flow cytometry analysis.

Percentage of Participants With Positive Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA)Baseline up to safety follow-up (96 weeks)

Percentage of participants with positive ADA were reported.

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormalities in Vital SignsBaseline up to safety follow-up (96 weeks)

Vital signs included body temperature, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, weight and height. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate was measured after the participants have in a rested at least 3 minutes in seated position. Clinical significance was to be decided by the investigator.
