简要总结

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of olokizumab (OKZ) 64 mg administered subcutaneously every 2 weeks compared with placebo in participants with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). The secondary objectives are to evaluate the steroid-sparing effect, inflammatory markers, safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of OKZ in participants with PMR compared with placebo. The exploratory objectives are to evaluate OKZ efficacy in selected participant subgroups, biomarkers of bone metabolism, pharmacodynamic parameters, glucocorticoid-related effects, and quality of life in participants with PMR compared with placebo

详细描述

This is a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. A total of 120 participants with active polymyalgia rheumatica are planned to be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following treatment arms:

  • OKZ arm: subcutaneous injections of OKZ 64 mg every 2 weeks
  • Placebo arm: subcutaneous placebo injections every 2 weeks

Participants may continue stable methotrexate or leflunomide therapy during the screening and treatment periods

The treatment period lasts 16 weeks, during which participants visit the study center every 2 weeks for safety assessments and evaluation of treatment response. Starting from Week 6 (Visit 4), in participants with PMR-AS <10, a gradual weekly glucocorticoid taper is initiated, decreasing by 2.5 mg/week until a dose of 5 mg/day is reached, followed by reductions of 1.25 mg/week until complete discontinuation of glucocorticoids. If complete discontinuation is not feasible at a dose of 5 mg/day or lower, tapering may be paused based on the investigator's clinical judgment

Participants who do not enter an open-label extension study after completion of the 16-week double-blind treatment period enter a 22-week safety follow-up (SFU) period. During follow-up, participants attend clinic visits at 2, 10, and 22 weeks after the end-of-treatment (EOT) visit for SFU assessments. The total duration of the study for participants is approximately 42 weeks
