Clinical Trial Summary

An open-label, controlled, randomised, multi-centre Phase 3 trial evaluating renal function in patients with severe anti-GBM disease comparing imlifidase and standard of care (SoC) with SoC alone. All patients will remain in the trial for 24 months.


Description:

After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo screening to determine eligibility for study entry. Patients will be randomised to treatment in a 1:1 ratio to either imlifidase and SoC or SoC only. SoC consists of a combination of plasma exchange (PLEX), cyclophosphamide (CYC), and glucocorticoids. For patients randomised to the imlifidase arm the first PLEX immediately after randomisation is replaced by administration of imlifidase. Kidney function, anti-GBM antibody levels, pulmonary symptoms, safety, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) and health related quality of life (HRQoL) among others, will be assessed.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: 1. Anti-GBM antibodies constituting an indication for PLEX as judged by the Investigator 2. Haematuria on dipstick and/or urinary sediment 3. eGFR(MDRD) <20 mL/min/1.73 m^2 4. Patients aged =18 years 5.

IVIg within 4 weeks before randomisation 5. History or presence of any medical condition or disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, may place the patient at unacceptable risk, or jeopardise the purpose of the study 6. Patients previously randomised in the study 7. Unsuitable to participate in the trial for any other reason in the opinion of the investigator 8. Pregnancy or breast feeding 9. Contraception: 1. Men who are not vasectomised or abstinent or with a partner (of child-bearing potential) not willing to use one of the highly effective contraceptives listed below from screening to 6 months following discontinuation of CYC 2. Men who are not willing to refrain from donating sperm from screening to 6 months following discontinuation of CYC 3. Men who are not willing to use a condom during any form of sexual intercourse, regardless of a partner being of child-bearing potential from screening to 6 months following discontinuation of CYC 4. Women of child-bearing potential not willing or not able to use at least one highly effective contraceptive method from screening to 12 months following discontinuation of CYC. In the context of this trial, a highly effective method is defined as those which result in low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as: - combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral/intravaginal/transdermal) - progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral/injectable/implantable) - intrauterine device (IUD) - intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) - bilateral tubal occlusion - vasectomised partner - true abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. [Periodic abstinence (such as calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception] 10. Previous imlifidase treatment or known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients

Study Design


Related Conditions & MeSH terms


Intervention

Drug:
Imlifidase
Imlifidase is an immunoglobulin G (IgG)-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus pyogenes that is highly selective towards IgG. The cleavage of IgG generates one F(ab')2- and one homodimeric Fc-fragment and efficiently neutralizes Fc-mediated activities of IgG.
Procedure:
Plasma exchange (PLEX)
PLEX removes the patient's pathogenic anti-GBM antibodies, by replacement of deficient plasma with a replacement fluid.
Drug:
Cyclophosphamide (CYC)
Cyclophosphamide's main mechanism of action (i.e. crosslinking of strands of DNA and RNA) results in inhibition of protein synthesis. Hence treatment prevents formation of new anti-GBM antibodies.
Glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids inhibit the inflammation process.

Secondary Change in health related quality of life (HRQoL) from screening to 6 months All patients will fill out the HRQoL questionnaire PROMIS-29 which is a universal rather than disease specific measure.
The PROMIS-29 measure assesses pain intensity using a single 0-10 numeric pain rating item and seven health domains using four items each: physical functioning, fatigue, pain interference, depression, anxiety, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and sleep disturbance. The score of each domain is converted into a standardized score so called T-score reported for each patient. A T-score of 50 represent a person from a reference population. A T-score higher than 50 indicates more of what is measured and a T-score less than 50 indicates less of what is measured.
At screening and at 6 months
Secondary Change in health status from screening to 6 months All patients will fill out the EQ-5D-5L questionnarie that comprises 5 questions measuring 5 dimensions of health status (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/ discomfort, and anxiety/depression). Patients will be asked to select a response to each category that best describes their current health. The EQ-5D-5L also contains a visual analogue scale and the patients will be asked to rate their health on a scale of 0-100. At screening and at 6 months

PD of imlifidase will be assessed using a sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis to measure the composition of the following fractions of IgG: Intact IgG, single cleaved IgG (scIgG) and Fab'2 fraction. During the study from before administration of imlifidase up to Day 15
Secondary Anti-imlifidase antibody levels from start of imlifidase treatment to 6 months Only applicable for patients who receive imlifidase. During the study from before administration of imlifidase up to 6 months
