Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to assess safety, tolerability and early signs of efficacy of the investigational drug Tadekinig alfa in Adult-onset Still's disease, a rare polygenic auto-inflammatory disorder for which treatment remains empirical.

This disease is characterized by a daily spiking fever, arthralgia / arthritis, and skin rashes with frequent components of sore throat, lymphadenopathies and neutrophilic leukocytosis. The etiology is unknown. In addition to the above-mentioned clinical features, the diagnosis includes some laboratory components that reflect the systemic inflammation: high erythro-sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, high serum ferritin and high levels of interleukin 18 (IL-18).

Tadekinig alfa is the drug name for recombinant human interleukin-18 binding protein (IL-18BP). This investigational drug was tested in healthy volunteers, psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis patients in phase I studies. It demonstrated good safety and tolerability profile with only mild adverse events in the injection site.


Clinical Trial Description

The hypothesis of this study considers high levels of IL-18 during active Adult-onset still's disease as the therapeutic target. Treatment with IL-18BP will permit to inhibit the pro-inflammatory cascade triggered by IL-18 and may help to manage the different components of the disease.

This study is an open label, dose-finding study involving multiple centers in Europe. Two dose cohorts (80mg and 160mg) were treated during twelve weeks and followed-up for four more weeks. ;
