Open-label, Multicenter, Dose-escalating Phase II Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Early Signs of Efficacy of Subcutaneous Administrations of Tadekinig Alfa (IL-18BP) in Patients With Adult -Onset Still's Disease (AoSD) During 12 Weeks
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Tadekinig alfa (recombinant human IL-18 binding protein) for Still's Disease, Adult-Onset. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 20 sites in 3 countries.
Detailed 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.
