Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized, double blind, active-controlled, parallel group, multicenter 52-week Phase 3 study to compare the efficacy and safety of benralizumab 30 mg versus mepolizumab 300 mg administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection in patients with relapsing or refractory EGPA on corticosteroid therapy with or without stable immunosuppressive therapy. All patients who complete the 52-week double-blind treatment period on IP may be eligible to continue into an open label extension (OLE) period. The OLE period is intended to allow each patient at least 1 year of treatment with open-label benralizumab 30 mg administered SC (earlier enrolled patients may therefore be in the OLE for longer than 1 year).

Other Numbers of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Minimum of 52 weeks
Primary Proportion of patients who are in remission at both weeks 36 and 48 Patients must be in remission at both of these timepoints of weeks 36 and 48.
Main definition: Remission is defined as BVAS=0 and OCS dose = 4mg/day. Supportive definition: Remission is defined by BVAS =0 and OCS dose = 7.5 mg/day.
Analysis will be repeated based on main and supportive remission definitions.

Secondary Time from randomisation to first EGPA relapse Relapse is defined as any of the following:
Active vasculitis (BVAS >0); OR

Secondary Change from baseline in SF-36v2 Short Form 36-item health survey (version 2, acute recall) (SF-36v2)
The short form 36-item health survey, version 2 (SF-36v2) is a 36-item, self-report survey of functional health and well-being. The assessment yields 8-domain profile consisting of the following: Physical functioning (PF), role limitations due to physical health (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health perceptions (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role limitations due to emotional problems (RE), and mental health (MH). Psychometrically-based physical and mental health component summary scores (PCS and MCS, respectively) are computed from subscale scores to give a broader metric of physical and mental health-related quality of life. The score range is 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating better health status.
Up to 52 weeks
Secondary Change from baseline in PGIS Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS)
PGIS is a 6-point categorical response scale ranging from 0=no symptoms to 6= very severe symptoms. Higher scores indicate worse severity.
Up to 52 weeks
Secondary Change from baseline in WPAI Work productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI)
WPAI consists of 6 questions regarding absenteeism, presenteeism (reduced effectiveness while working), overall work productivity loss (absenteeism plus presenteeism), and activity impairment. WPAI outcomes are scored as impairment percentages, with a higher percentage indicating greater impairment and less productivity.
Up to 52 weeks
Secondary Change from baseline in blood eosinophil counts Up to 52 weeks
Secondary Proportion of PGIC responders at each weekly assessment Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) measures the patient´s overall impression of response to treatment since the initial dose using a 7-point scale ranging from "much better", "about the same" to "much worse". Lower scores indicate better health status.
Up to 4 weeks
