Study 200622: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Mepolizumab in the Treatment of Adolescent and Adult Subjects With Severe Hypereosinophilic Syndrome
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Mepolizumab 300 mg, Placebo matching mepolizumab, and 2 other interventions for Hypereosinophilic Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 108 participants across 43 sites in 13 countries.
Detailed Summary
Mepolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody. In conditions where eosinophilia is considered to play an important part in the pathology, including eosinophilic asthma, HES, and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, a consistent reduction in blood eosinophil counts is observed in association with mepolizumab administration, with concomitant clinical improvement. This is a 32-week treatment period, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicentre study of mepolizumab in adolescent and adult subjects with severe HES receiving standard of care (SoC) therapy. This study will demonstrate the efficacy of mepolizumab compared with placebo based on maintenance of control of HES symptoms during the treatment period. The study will comprise of a screening period of up to approximately 4 weeks followed by a 32-Week study treatment period (subjects will be randomized 1:1 to placebo or mepolizumab) and up to 8-week additional follow-up period (12 weeks after the last dose of study treatment).

Interventions
Mepolizumab is available as lyophilized powder for injection reconstituted with Sterile Water for Injection, just prior to use.
Placebo is available as 0.9% sodium chloride solution
All subjects will be provided with 2 bottles of blinded OCS capsules, one containing 5mg OCS capsules (active OCS treatment) and a second one containing matching placebo capsules (placebo OCS treatment). These will be dispensed to each subject at each scheduled clinic visit and as needed. Subjects with an increase in blood eosinophils above the pre-specified threshold will be instructed to start blinded OCS treatment from one of the bottles provided (active treatment) unless the subject's HES therapy has already been increased due to a symptom flare within the past 2 weeks.
