Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of Part A was to determine whether sutimlimab administration resulted in a greater than or equal to (>=) 2 grams per deciliter (g/dL) increase in hemoglobin (Hgb) levels or increased Hgb to >= 12 g/dL and obviated the need for blood transfusion during treatment in participants with primary cold agglutinin disease (CAD) who had a recent history of blood transfusion. The purpose of Part B was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of sutimlimab in participants with CAD.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Part A: Percentage of Participants With Response to Treatment A participant was considered a responder: if he or she did not receive a blood transfusion from Week 5 through Week 26 (end of treatment in Part A) and did not receive treatment for CAD beyond what was permitted per protocol. Additionally, the participant's hemoglobin (Hgb) level must meet either of the following criteria: Hgb level >= 12 grams per deciliter (g/dL) at the treatment assessment endpoint (defined as the average of the values from the Week 23, 25, and 26 visits), or Hgb increased >= 2 g/dL from baseline (defined as the last Hgb value before administration of the first dose of study drug) at treatment assessment endpoint. Percentage of responders was calculated together with a 95% exact Clopper-Pearson confidence interval (CI). From Week 5 through Week 26
Primary Part B: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug and did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. TESAEs was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the treatment-emergent (TE) period (from the first investigational medicinal product [IMP] administration in Part B to the last IMP administration + 9 weeks follow up period). Part B, 6.5 g cohort: From first dose (Week 27) up to 143 weeks of treatment + 9 weeks of follow-up (i.e., up to Week 179); Part B, 7.5 g cohort: From first dose (Week 27) up to 149 weeks of treatment + 9 weeks of follow-up (i.e., up to Week 185)
Secondary Part A: Mean Change From Baseline in Bilirubin Levels at the Treatment Assessment Timepoint Mean change from baseline in bilirubin levels at the treatment assessment timepoint was reported in this outcome measure. Treatment assessment timepoint was defined as the average of the values from the Week 23, 25, and 26 visits. Least squares (LS) mean and 95% confidence interval (CI) was assessed by Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) approach using heterogeneous Toeplitz (TOEPH) covariance matrix with change from baseline as the dependent variable and baseline value and visits as independent variables. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the first administration of study drug. Baseline, treatment assessment timepoint (i.e., average of Week 23, 25 and 26)
Secondary Part A: Mean Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale Score (Quality of Life) at Treatment Assessment Timepoint FACIT-Fatigue scale consists of 13 questions assessed using a 5-point scale (0=not at all; 1 = a little bit, 2 = somewhat, 3 = quite a bit and 4 = very much). Responses to each question were added to obtain a total score. Total score ranged from 0 to 52, with higher score indicating more fatigue. Treatment assessment timepoint was defined as the average of the values from the Week 23, 25, and 26 visits. LS mean and 95% CI was assessed by MMRM approach using TOEPH covariance matrix with change from baseline as the dependent variable and baseline value and visits as independent variables. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the first administration of study drug. Baseline, treatment assessment timepoint (i.e., average of Week 23, 25 and 26)
Secondary Part A: Mean Change From Baseline in Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) at the Treatment Assessment Timepoint Mean change from baseline in LDH at the treatment assessment timepoint is reported in this outcome measure. Treatment assessment timepoint was defined as the average of the values from the Week 23, 25, and 26 visits. LS mean and 95% CI was assessed by MMRM approach using TOEPH covariance matrix with change from baseline as the dependent variable and baseline value and visits as independent variables. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the first administration of study drug. Baseline, treatment assessment timepoint (i.e., average of Week 23, 25 and 26)

EQ-5D-5L includes 2 components: EQ-5D-5L health state utility index (descriptive system) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). EQ-5D descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 response option: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems measured with Likert scale. EQ-5D-5L responses relating to 5 dimensions are converted into a single index utility score between 0 to 1, where higher score=better health state. The EQ-5D-5L VAS rated participant's current health state on a scale from 0=worst imaginable health state to 100 =best imaginable health state. Baseline (Week 0): last non-missing value prior to first administration of study drug in Part A. ET visit/SFU visit was 9 weeks after administration of last dose (i.e., up to Week 185).

The PGIS is a 1-item questionnaire designed to assess participant's impression of disease severity using a 5-point scale ranging from 1 to 5, where 1=none, 2= mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe, 5=very severe. Higher scores indicated greater severity. ET visit/SFU visit was 9 weeks after administration of last dose (i.e., up to Week 185).

PGIC was assessed on a 7-point Likert scale ranged from 1 (greatly improved) to 7 (greatly worsened). Categories were defined based on the PGIC scores as follows: 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse and 7=very much worsen. Higher scores indicated greater severity. ET visit/SFU visit was 9 weeks after administration of last dose (i.e., up to Week 185).
