Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of CJM112 in Patients With Inadequately Controlled Severe Asthma

October 7, 2021 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

A Randomized, Subject- and Investigator-blinded, Placebo Controlled, Multi-center, Multiple Dose Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of CJM112 in Patients With Inadequately Controlled Moderate to Severe Asthma

An unmet medical need exists for patients with moderate and severe asthma who continue to demonstrate symptoms despite being on standard of care medications, and are not eligible for other biologic therapies developed or in development for T2-high(allergic/eosinophilic) asthma. The purpose of this study was to determine if CJM112, an anti-IL-17A antibody, displayed the clinical efficacy and safety profile to support further development in patients with inadequately controlled moderate to severe asthma with low IgE and low circulating eosinophil levels.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

After an initial screening visit, run-in period and baseline assessments, the eligible subjects entered the treatment period and were randomized in a 3:2 ratio to one of the two treatment groups:

  • 300 mg CJM112 s.c. injection received once per week for the first 4 weeks, followed by once every two weeks up to Week 12 (Day 85) + standard of care treatment.
  • Matching placebo + standard of care treatment. After completion of the last dose on Day 85 of treatment period, subjects returned for the final efficacy assessment on Day 92. Following the treatment period, all subjects entered a 13-week safety follow-up period, including the End of Study (EoS) visit on Day 176.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 92
The primary efficacy analysis assessed the effect of CJM112 on the absolute change from baseline in trough FEV1 in Liters compared to placebo on Day 92. Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) is calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. Baseline measurement was defined as the baseline visit pre-bronchodilator spirometry assessment.
Baseline, Day 92

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume 1 (FEV1) % of Predicted
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 92
The secondary efficacy analyses assessed the effect of CJM112 on the absolute change from baseline in trough FEV1 in % of predicted compared to placebo on Day 92. Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) was calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by a spirometer. FEV1% of predicted is defined as FEV1% of the patient divided by the average FEV1% in the population for any person of similar age, sex and body composition. Pre-bronchodilator FEV1% of predicted was directly provided as part of the spirometry assessment.
Baseline, Day 92
Change From Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire 6 (ACQ6) Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 92

The ACQ-6 is a validated asthma assessment tool that consists of 6 self-assessment questions. Each item on the ACQ-6 has a possible score ranging from 0 to 6 and the total score is the mean of all responses. The seven-point response scale goes from 0 = 'totally controlled' to 6 = 'severely uncontrolled.

Negative change from baseline values indicate improved asthma control.
Baseline, Day 92
Change From Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire 7 (ACQ7) Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 92
The ACQ-7 measured asthma symptom control and consists of 7 items: 5 on symptom assessment, 1 on rescue medication use and 1 on airway calibre (FEV1 % predicted). All seven items are scored on a 7-point Likert scale, with 0 indicating total control and 6 indicating poor control. The questions are equally weighted and the total score is the mean of the seven items. The first 6 questions of the ACQ-7 were completed by the participant while the last question was completed by the study investigator using data from the Master Scope spirometer. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement in lung function.
Baseline, Day 92
Percentage of Patients With at Least 0.5 Decrease in ACQ7 Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 92

The ACQ-7 measured asthma symptom control and consists of 7 items: 5 on symptom assessment, 1 on rescue medication use and 1 on airway calibre (FEV1 % predicted). All seven items are scored on a 7-point Likert scale, with 0 indicating total control and 6 indicating poor control. The questions are equally weighted and the total score is the mean of the seven items. The first 6 questions of the ACQ-7 were completed by the participant while the last question was completed by the study investigator using data from the Master Scope spirometer. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement in lung function.

An ACQ7 responder is defined as a patient with a decrease in score of greater or equal to 0.5 when compared to baseline.
Baseline, Day 92
Percentage of Patients With Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation of Study Treatment
Time Frame: 85 days
Number of patients with at least one adverse event leading to discontinuation of study treatment
85 days
