About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of XOMA 052 in Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS) / Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) and Behcet's Disease (BD)

Background:

  • Autoinflammatory diseases are illnesses that produce episodes of inflammation such as fever, rash, or joint swelling. Some of these diseases can be treated with medications that block the body's reaction to a protein called IL-1, which may be part of the cause of the inflammation. IL-1 blocking agents are very helpful in treating autoinflammatory diseases and have become the standard of care for treatment for some of these diseases. However, more research is needed on related diseases that may be treated with new and currently used IL-1 blocking agents.
  • XOMA 052 is an experimental drug that is currently being tested as a possible treatment for type 2 diabetes. Initial studies have shown that XOMA 052 neutralizes a specific kind of IL-1, and is also active against certain indicators of inflammation. Researchers are interested in determining whether XOMA 052 can be used to treat autoinflammatory and related diseases.

Objectives:

  • To determine the effectiveness of XOMA 052 as a treatment for inflammation in adults with the autoinflammatory diseases Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS)/Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) and Behcet's Disease.

Eligibility:

  • FCAS/ MWS: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have a known history of the typical disease.
  • Behcet's Disease: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have evidence of active disease, such as oral or genital ulcers or eye disease.

Design:

FCAS/MWS Participants

  • Participants will have an overnight evaluation of their disease, including optional tests (e.g., eye or skin exams). Participants who currently take medications to treat their symptoms will stop taking the medication and will be monitored by study researchers. At the first flare of symptoms, participants will begin to receive XOMA 052.
  • Participants will have further tests on days 3, 7, and 10 after the initial dose of XOMA 052. If the disease remains under good control, participants will have a clinical exam every 5 days for up to 10 weeks until another disease flare occurs (determined either by symptoms or by inflammation observed in laboratory studies). If the disease is not well controlled with the initial dose of XOMA 052, participants will have additional doses starting at day 7 until either the disease is controlled or researchers determine that the medication is not effective.
  • Participants will have the option to continue XOMA 052 treatments for up to 1 year. XOMA 052 wil...
Read the detailed description

Autoinflammatory diseases are illnesses characterized by episodes of inflammation that, unlike autoimmune disorders, lack the production of high titer autoantibodies or antigen-specific T cells. There is growing genetic and clinical evidence that Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays a pathogenic role in several of these diseases. This exploratory study aims to examine the utility of the experimental drug candidate, XOMA 052 (XOMA (US), LLC) in the treatment of adult subjects with the autoinflammatory disorders familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS) or Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) associated with mutations in cryopyrin-encoding CIAS1 and in adult subjects with Behcet's Disease (BD), a disease which may be responsive to IL-1 blockade. XOMA 052 is a human recombinant IL-1beta antibody with picomolar affinity for IL-1beta and a beta half-life of 22.4 days in humans. This agent is currently in Phase 2 clinical studies for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes and initial studies have shown activity against clinical and biochemical indicators of inflammation.

This pilot study is designed to address: 1) the utility of XOMA 052 in the treatment of FCAS / MWS, in a disease known to respond to IL-1 blockade (FCAS / MWS) as shown by a response to treatment with anakinra (Kineret(Registered Trademark), recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist), rilonacept (Arcalyst(Registered Trademark), IL-1 Trap, a fusion protein of the IL-1 receptor and the Fc portion of IgG), and canakinumab (Ilaris(Registered Trademark), IL-1beta blocking antibody); the latter two FDA approved for the treatment of this condition; 2) the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of treatment with XOMA 052 in FCAS / MWS; 3) the effect of XOMA 052 on laboratory biomarkers in BD; and 4) an exploratory assessment of the utility of XOMA 052 in the treatment of BD.

For FCAS / MWS, biochemical and clinical correlates of autoinflammatory disease will be measured at baseline following withdrawal of currently used IL-1 inhibitors. Subjects will receive a course of therapy with XOMA 052 that is predicted to provide an estimated 4 weeks of anti-inflammatory activity. If a favorable response is obtained, the continuation phase will last twelve months. For BD, subjects will receive XOMA 052 for three to six months and patients with a positive response will then be randomized to withdrawal or continuation of drug for six months. Clinical and biochemical correlates of inflammation will be measured in both patient groups at appropriate intervals to assess response and to further elucidate disease mechanisms.

A Phase 1/2 study testing XOMA 052 in people with Muckle Wells Syndrome and Autoinflammatory, run by National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 23 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in clinical and biochemical indicators of inflammation. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01211977, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2017.
