Pediatric Patients Aged 1 to 6 Years With APDS

An Open-label, Single Arm Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of Leniolisib in Pediatric Patients (Aged 1 to 6 Years) With APDS (Activated Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Delta Syndrome) Followed by an Open-label Long-term Extension

This is a 2-part, prospective, open-label, single arm, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PDx), and efficacy of leniolisib in at least 15 pediatric patients (aged 1 to 6 years) with activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) syndrome (APDS)

Study Overview

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Conditions: APDS
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Leniolisib

Detailed Description

Part I will consist of a 12-week period to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with leniolisib. Part II will consist of a 1-year, long-term, safety follow-up extension with a possible interim analysis.

The leniolisib doses to be used in study were selected based on safety, tolerability, PK, and PDx data from the adult Phase 2/3 study, as well as PK modeling data. In both parts of the study, leniolisib will be administered orally based on weight.
