Official title
Phase 2a, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety of Anumigilimab (CSL324) in Adults With Sickle Cell Disease
Overview
This is a phase 2a, global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigating the safety of anumigilimab administered subcutaneously (SC) at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in adult participants with SCD. The primary aim of the study is to assess the safety of anumigilimab in participants with SCD. Participants will be treated for 64 weeks: for 12 weeks in the dose escalation period, where the dose will be escalated to each participant's individual MTD; and for 52 weeks at the MTD in the maintenance period.
Interventions
- Biological Anumigilimab
Participants will receive anumigilimab, escalated to a maximum dose guided by absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and safety concerns. - Drug Placebo
Volume matched saline will be administered SC.
Primary outcome measures
- Number of participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Overall and by severity, seriousness and relationship to Investigational Product (IP) [Time frame: From baseline up to Week 75]
- Percentage of participants with TEAEs Overall and by severity, seriousness and relationship to IP [Time frame: From baseline up to Week 75]
- Number of participants with Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) [Time frame: From baseline up to Week 75]
- Percentage of participants with AESI [Time frame: From baseline up to Week 75]
- Number of participants with clinically relevant changes from baseline in laboratory assessments and vital signs [Time frame: From baseline up to Week 75]
- Percentage of participants with clinically relevant changes from baseline in laboratory assessments and vital signs [Time frame: From baseline up to Week 75]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Serum concentration of Anumigilimab [Time frame: From the first dose of anumigilimab to Week 65]
- Annualized rate of Vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) (medical facility) [Time frame: During the maintenance period from Week 13 to Week 65]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Adults aged greater than or equal to (>=) 18 years on the day of signing the informed consent form.
- Confirmed diagnosis of SCD of any genotype.
- Experienced 1 to 12 VOCs requiring a visit to a medical facility and treatment with parenteral opioids or a parenteral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug within the 12 months before Screening.
- HU Regimen:
- a. On stable and well-tolerated Hydroxyurea (HU) regimen for at least 30 days before Screening.
- or
- b. HU was discontinued or refused (eg, due to concern of side effects or lack of effect).
Exclusion criteria
- Absolute neutrophil count less than (<) 2.5 ×10\^9 cells/Litre at Screening or Baseline (Week 1 Day 1).
- If on SCD preventive medication, dose is not stable in the 30 days before Screening.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
