Association of immune response with efficacy and safety outcomes in adults with phenylketonuria administered pegvaliase in phase 3 clinical trials.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:This study assessed the immunogenicity of pegvaliase (recombinant Anabaena variabilis phenylalanine [Phe] ammonia lyase [PAL] conjugated with polyethylene glycol [PEG]) treatment in adults with phenylketonuria (PKU) and its impact on safety and efficacy. METHODS:Immunogenicity was assessed during induction, upward titration, and maintenance dosing regimens in adults with PKU (n?=?261). Total antidrug antibodies (ADA), neutralizing antibodies, immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG antibodies against PAL and PEG, IgG and IgM circulating immune complex (CIC) levels, complement components 3 and 4 (C3/C4), plasma Phe, and safety were assessed at baseline and throughout the study. Pegvaliase-specific IgE levels were measured in patients after hypersensitivity adverse events (HAE). FINDINGS:All patients developed ADA against PAL, peaking by 6?months and then stabilizing. Most developed transient antibody responses against PEG, peaking by 3?months, then returning to baseline by 9?months. Binding of ADA to pegvaliase led to CIC formation and complement activation, which were highest during early treatment. Blood Phe decreased over time as CIC levels and complement activation declined and pegvaliase dosage increased. HAEs were most frequent during early treatment and declined over time. No patient with acute systemic hypersensitivity events tested positive for pegvaliase-specific IgE near the time of the event. Laboratory evidence was consistent with immune complex-mediated type III hypersensitivity. No evidence of pegvaliase-associated IC-mediated end organ damage was noted. INTERPRETATION:Despite a universal ADA response post-pegvaliase administration, adult patients with PKU achieved substantial and sustained blood Phe reductions with a manageable safety profile.

Project description:BackgroundDeficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase causes phenylketonuria (PKU) with elevated phenylalanine (Phe) levels and associated neuropsychiatric and neurocognitive symptoms. Pegvaliase (PEGylated phenylalanine ammonia lyase) is an investigational agent to lower plasma Phe in adults with PKU. This study aimed to characterize the long-term efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of pegvaliase in adults with PKU.MethodsPAL-003 is an ongoing, open-label, long-term extension study of the pegvaliase dose-finding parent phase 2 studies. Participants continued the dose of pegvaliase from one of three parent studies, with dose adjustments to achieve a plasma Phe concentration between 60 and 600 μmol/L.ResultsMean (standard deviation [SD]) plasma Phe at treatment-naïve baseline for 80 participants in the parent studies was 1302.4 (351.5) μmol/L. In the 68 participants who entered the extension study, plasma Phe decreased 58.9 (39)% from baseline, to 541.6 (515.5) μmol/L at Week 48 of treatment. Plasma Phe concentrations ≤120 μmol/L, ≤360 μmol/L, and ≤ 600 μmol/L were achieved by 78.7, 80.0, and 82.5% of participants, respectively. Mean (SD) protein intake at baseline was 69.4 (40.4) g/day (similar to the recommended intake for the unaffected population) and remained stable throughout the study. All participants experienced adverse events (AEs), which were limited to mild or moderate severity in most (88.8%); the most common AEs were injection-site reaction (72.5%), injection-site erythema (67.5%), headache (67.5%), and arthralgia (65.0%). The AE rate decreased from 58.3 events per person-year in the parent studies to 18.6 events per person-year in the extension study.ConclusionsPegvaliase treatment in adults with PKU produced meaningful and persistent reductions in mean plasma Phe concentration with a manageable safety profile for most subjects that continued with long-term treatment.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov , NCT00924703.

Project description:Background:Excessive neutrophil migration has been correlated with influenza symptom severity. Danirixin (GSK1325756), a selective and reversible antagonist of C-X-C chemokine receptor 2, decreases neutrophil activation and transmigration to areas of inflammation. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) danirixin co-administered with oseltamivir for the treatment of adults hospitalized with influenza. Methods:In this phase 2b, double-blind, 3-arm study (NCT02927431), influenza-positive participants were randomized 2:2:1 to receive danirixin 15mg intravenously (IV) twice daily (bid) + oral oseltamivir 75mg bid (OSV), danirixin 50mg IV bid + OSV, or placebo IV bid + OSV, for up to 5 days. The primary endpoint was time to clinical response (TTCR). Results:In total, 10 participants received study treatment (danirixin 15mg + OSV, n = 4; danirixin 50mg + OSV, n = 4; placebo + OSV, n = 2) before the study was terminated early due to low enrollment. All participants achieved a clinical response. Median (95% confidence interval) TTCR was 4.53 days (2.95, 5.71) for danirixin 15mg + OSV, 4.76 days (2.71, 5.25) for danirixin 50mg + OSV, and 1.33 days (0.71, 1.95) for placebo + OSV. Adverse events (AEs) were generally of mild or moderate intensity; no serious AEs were considered treatment-related. Interleukin-8 levels increased in nasal samples (using synthetic absorptive matrix strips) and decreased serum neutrophil-elastase-mediated degradation of elastin decreased in danirixin-treated participants, suggesting effective target engagement. Conclusions:Interpretation of efficacy results is restricted by the low participant numbers. The safety and tolerability profile of danirixin was consistent with previous studies. Clinical trial information:The registration data for the trial are in the ClinicalTrials.gov database, number NCT02927431, and in the EU Clinical Trials Register (https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/) as GSK study 201023, EudraCT 2016-002512-40.

Project description:Study objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Dimdazenil, a novel partial positive allosteric modulator for GABAA receptor in adults with insomnia disorder.MethodsThis was a 2-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase III study of Dimdazenil. The primary efficacy outcome was total sleep time (TST) analyzed by polysomnography (PSG) on day 13/14. Latency to persistent sleep (LPS), sleep efficiency (SE), and wake after sleep onset (WASO) were analyzed in the same way by polysomnography (PSG). The other secondary outcomes including the average subjective sleep latency (sSL), subjective TST (sTST), subjective SE (sSE), subjective WASO (sWASO), and subjective number of awakenings (sNAW) were analyzed from sleep diary data, and the insomnia severity index (ISI) was also assessed. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were monitored throughout the study.ResultsA total of 546 participants with insomnia (age ≥18 years) were randomized (2:1), received treatment with an oral dose of Dimdazenil (2.5 mg) or placebo, and analyzed. Compared to baseline and placebo, Dimdazenil demonstrated significant improvements in PSG measures, increased TST (71.09, 31.68 minutes, respectively; both p < 0.001), increased SE (13.26%, 5.55%, respectively; both < 0.001), reduced WASO (49.67, 20.16 minutes, respectively; both p < 0.001), and reduced LPS (21.65 minutes, p < 0.001; 6.46 minutes, p = 0.023). Compared to placebo, Dimdazenil also improved key self-reported measures of sTST (18.33 minutes, p < 0.001), sWASO (14.60 minutes, p < 0.001), sSL (4.23 minutes, p < 0.001), sSE (2.97%, p < 0.001), and sNAW (0.29, p < 0.001). Participants treated with Dimdazenil reported a significant improvement in ISI. Dimdazenil was well tolerated. The majority of TEAEs were mild or moderate. There were no clinically relevant treatment-related serious AEs and no deaths.ConclusionsDimdazenil of 2.5 mg provided significant benefit on sleep maintenance and sleep onset in individuals with insomnia disorder versus placebo, with a favorable safety profile and was well tolerated.Clinical trial informationA multicenter, randomized, double-blind phase III clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of EVT201 capsules compared to placebo in patients with insomnia disorders (http://www.chinadrugtrials.org), with the number of CTR20201068.

Project description:ImportanceAlzheimer disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease characterized by β-amyloid plaques and τ tangles in the brain, represents an unmet medical need with no fully approved therapeutics to modify disease progression.ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of crenezumab, a humanized monoclonal immunoglobulin G4 antibody targeting β-amyloid oligomers, in participants with prodromal to mild (early) AD.Design, setting, and participantsTwo phase 3 multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled parallel-group efficacy and safety studies of crenezumab in participants with early AD, CREAD and CREAD2, were initiated in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and were designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crenezumab in participants with early AD. CREAD (194 sites in 30 countries) and CREAD2 (209 sites in 27 countries) were global multicenter studies. A total of 3736 and 3664 participants were screened in CREAD and CREAD2, respectively. A total of 3736 and 3664 participants were screened in CREAD and CREAD2, respectively. Both trials enrolled individuals aged 50 to 85 years with early AD. Participants with some comorbidities and evidence of cerebral infarction or more than 4 microbleeds or areas of leptomeningeal hemosiderosis on magnetic resonance imaging were excluded. After 2923 and 2858 were excluded, respectively, 813 participants in CREAD and 806 in CREAD2 were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either placebo or crenezumab. In the final analysis, there were 409 participants in the placebo group and 404 in the crenezumab group in CREAD and 399 in the placebo group and 407 in the crenezumab group in CREAD2. Data were analyzed up until January 2019 and August 2019, respectively.InterventionsParticipants received placebo or 60 mg/kg crenezumab intravenously every 4 weeks for up to 100 weeks.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was change from baseline to week 105 in Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) score.ResultsThere were 813 participants in CREAD (mean [SD] age, 70.7 [8.2] years; 483 female and 330 male) and 806 in CREAD2 (mean [SD] age, 70.9 [7.7] years; 456 female and 350 male). Baseline characteristics were balanced between both groups. The between-group difference in mean change from baseline in CDR-SB score (placebo minus crenezumab) was -0.17 (95% CI, -0.86 to 0.53; P = .63) at week 105 in the CREAD study (88 placebo; 86 crenezumab). Compared with previous trials, no new safety signals were identified, and amyloid-related imaging abnormalities with edema were rare, mild, and transient. No meaningful changes in AD biomarkers were observed. Both studies were discontinued following a preplanned interim analysis indicating that CREAD was unlikely to meet the primary end point.Conclusions and relevanceCrenezumab was well tolerated but did not reduce clinical decline in participants with early AD.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: CREAD, NCT02670083; CREAD2, NCT03114657.

Project description:Nowadays, the vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines is being promoted worldwide, professionals and common people are very concerned about the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines. No published systematic review and meta-analysis has assessed the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines based on data from phase III clinical trials. Therefore, this study has estimated the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines and the differences between vaccine types. PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, medRxiv databases and two websites were used to retrieve the studies. Random-effects models were used to estimate the pooled efficacy and safety with risk ratio (RR). A total of eight studies, seven COVID-19 vaccines and 158,204 subjects were included in the meta-analysis. All the vaccines had a good preventive effect on COVID-19 (RR = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.09-0.32), and the mRNA vaccine (RR = 0.05, 95% CI: 0.03-0.09) was the most effective against COVID-19, while the inactivated vaccine (RR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.19-0.54) was the least. In terms of safety, the risk of overall adverse events showed an increase in the vaccine group after the first (RR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.03-2.05) or second (RR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.04-2.20) injection. However, compared with the first injection, the risk of local (RR = 2.64, 95% CI: 1.02-6.83 vs. RR = 2.25, 95% CI: 0.52-9.75) and systemic (RR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.21-1.46 vs. RR = 1.59, 95% CI: 0.84-3.01) adverse events decreased after the second injection. As for the mRNA vaccine, the risk of overall adverse events increased significantly, compared with the placebo, no matter whether it was the first (RR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.80-1.86) or the second (RR = 2.16, 95% CI = 2.11-2.20) injection. All the COVID-19 vaccines that have published the data of phase III clinical trials have excellent efficacy, and the risk of adverse events is acceptable. The mRNA vaccines were the most effective against COVID-19, meanwhile the risk and grade of adverse events was minimal, compared to that of severe symptoms induced by COVID-19.
