Atacicept Demonstrating Dose RESponSe (ADDRESS)
A Phase II, Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multidose, 24-Week Dose-Response Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Atacicept in Subjects With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the body's immune system attacks its own organs and tissues. Within the immune system, B-cells and plasma cells make proteins called antibodies, which in autoimmune disease can bind to one's own tissues and are thus referred to as autoantibodies. Atacicept blocks 2 factors in the body, called BLyS and APRIL, which are important for the maintenance of B-cells and plasma cells, and thus the production of antibodies. This study will assess whether treatment with atacicept can reduce SLE disease activity. Atacicept is still an experimental drug, meaning that it is not available outside of a clinical trial, and that its potential benefits and risks have not been fully determined.
A total of 175 subjects are planned to be randomized (35 subjects per treatment arm) in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio to receive either atacicept 5 mg, atacicept 25 mg, atacicept 75 mg, atacicept 115 mg or matching placebo, given subcutaneously once weekly for 24 weeks.
The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of atacicept compared to placebo in reducing SLE disease activity in subjects treated with standard of care (SoC) therapy and to investigate the dose-response relationship.
The secondary objectives of the trial are:
- To evaluate the effect of atacicept in reducing corticosteroid usage
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of atacicept in subjects with SLE
- To confirm the PK and PD profiles of atacicept in SLE subjects
- To evaluate the changes in the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form General Health Survey [SF-36].
