Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 2/3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of ravulizumab in adult participants with dermatomyositis (DM).

Description:

The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part A (Phase 2) and Part B (Phase 3). There will be 3 periods in both Part A and Part B of this study: Screening Period, Randomized Controlled Period, and Open-Label Extension Period.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Terminated
• Enrollment: 38
• Est. completion date: May 8, 2024
• Est. primary completion date: October 26, 2023
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: All
• Age group: 18 Years and older

Eligibility

Key Inclusion Criteria:

• 18 years of age or older at the time of signing the informed consent.

• Body weight = 30 kilograms at the time of Screening.

• Male or female.

• Diagnosis: Meet 2017 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria for definite or probable DM.

• Participants who have an inadequate response or are intolerant to 1 or more DM treatments, including systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory therapies (for example, azathioprine, methotrexate, rituximab, intravenous immunoglobulin), either in combination or as monotherapy.

• Vaccinated against Neisseria meningitidis within 3 years prior to initiating ravulizumab as per national and local guidelines. Participants must receive the vaccination at least 2 weeks before first study intervention. The sponsor recommends that national and local guidelines for prophylactic antibiotics should also be followed.

• Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants must follow specified contraception guidance as described in the protocol.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants who have been diagnosed with cancer within the last 3 years need to have appropriate negative cancer screening as per local standard of care within 6 months before Screening (basal or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix needs to have been excised and without evidence of residual disease for at least 3 months before Screening).

• Evidence of active malignant disease or malignancies diagnosed within the previous 3 years including hematological malignancies and solid tumors.

• Participants with other forms of myositis.

• As per investigator discretion, participants with significant muscle damage (for example, severe muscle atrophy, end stage muscle disease, MRI with severe atrophy or fibrofatty replacement)

• History of Neisseria meningitidis infection.

• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (evidenced by HIV Type 1 or Type 2 antibody titer).

• Active systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection within 14 days prior to ravulizumab administration.

• Presence of fever = 38°Celsius (100.4°Fahrenheit) within 7 days prior to study drug administration on Day 1.

• History of hypersensitivity to murine proteins or to 1 of the excipients of ravulizumab.

• Pregnant, breastfeeding, or intending to conceive during the course of the study.

• Inability or unwillingness to adhere to the protocol requirements.
