Females of childbearing potential were defined as sexually mature women without prior hysterectomy or who have had any evidence of menses in the past 12 months. However, women who had been amenorrheic for 12 or more months were still considered to be of childbearing potential if the amenorrhea was possibly due to prior chemotherapy, anti-estrogens, or ovarian suppression.

Effective birth control includes (1) intrauterine device plus 1 barrier method; (2) on stable doses of hormonal contraception for at least 3 months (e.g., oral, injectable, implant, transdermal) plus 1 barrier method; or (3) two barrier methods. Effective barrier methods were male or female condoms, diaphragms, and spermicides (creams or gels that contain a chemical to kill sperm), or a vasectomized partner.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Open-label Extension Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Belumosudil (KD025) in Subjects With Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

This randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 study was seeking to evaluate the efficacy and safety of belumosudil (KD025) for the treatment of diffuse cutaneous systematic sclerosis. Enrolment was terminated earlier than planned for business reasons unrelated to safety. A total of 36 participants were enrolled and randomized into 3 groups to either receive orally administered belumosudil (200 milligrams [mg] once daily [QD] and 200 mg twice daily [BID]) or matched placebo in 1:1:1 ratio in the double-blind (DB) period of this study. Study drug dosing was for 52 weeks: double-blinded for the first 28 weeks followed by an open-label extension of 24 weeks. After unblinding, the participants on belumosudil continued on the same belumosudil dose whereas the participants in the placebo group were re-randomized to one of the belumosudil doses in a 1:1 ratio.

Read the detailed description

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes widespread microvascular damage and excessive deposition of collagen in the skin and internal organs. Limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis is primarily cutaneous, affecting the hands, arms, and face. Diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) is a more serious manifestation of the disease and is often rapidly progressive, not only involving the skin, but also involving internal organs including kidney, heart, and lungs.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. DB Period: Number of Participants With Combined Response Index in Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (CRISS) Score Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 60 Percent (%) at Week 24

    CRISS components included the following domains: mRSS, FVC percent predicted, physician global assessment, patient global assessment, and SHAQ-DI. An algorithm determines the predicted probability of improvement from Baseline by incorporating change from baseline in the mRSS, FVC percent predicted, physician and patient global assessments, and SHAQ-DI. The outcome is a continuous variable between 0.0 and 1.0 (0 to 100%). Higher score indicated greater probability of improvement. CRISS score >= 60% was considered the minimally important difference. Participants were not considered improved and assigned a probability of improving equal to 0.0 if they developed new onset of renal crisis, new onset or worsening of lung fibrosis, new onset of pulmonary arterial hypertension, or new onset of left ventricular failure during the trial. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to handle missing data.

  3. DB Period: Change From Baseline in Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) at Week 24

    mRSS is an accepted clinical measure of skin thickness. The investigator assessed the skin thickness using the mRSS through simple palpation on 17 different skin sites (e.g., face, hands, fingers; proximal area of the arms, distal area of the arms, thorax, abdomen; proximal area of the legs, and distal area of the legs, feet). Each skin site was rated on a 0 to 3 scale; where 0 = normal skin, 1 = mild thickness, 2 = moderate thickness, and 3 = severe thickness and unable to pinch. Individual site skin scores in the 17 body areas were summed and defined as the total mRSS which ranged from 0 (normal skin) to 51 (severe thickening), where higher score indicated more severity of skin thickening/worst outcome. LS mean and 95% CI were calculated using MMRM model.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  4. DB Period: Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 24

    FVC was the total amount of air exhaled from the lungs during the lung function test measured by spirometer which assessed the change in lung function related to the disease status of an underlying interstitial lung disease (ILD). LS mean and 95% CI were obtained from MMRM model.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  5. DB Period: Change From Baseline in Physician Global Assessment of Participant's Overall Health Using Visual Analogue Scale Score at Week 24

    The Physician Global Assessment (reported by the physician) quantified the participant's overall health during the last week based on VAS which ranged from 0 (extremely poor) to 100 (excellent). Higher score indicated better outcome. LS mean and 95% CI were obtained from MMRM model.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  6. DB Period: Change From Baseline in Patient Global Assessment of Participant's Overall Health Using Visual Analogue Scale Score at Week 24

    The Patient Global Assessment (reported by participant) quantified the participant's overall health during the last week based on a VAS which ranged from 0 (extremely poor) to 100 (excellent). Higher score indicated better outcome. LS mean and 95% CI were obtained from MMRM model.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  7. DB Period: Change From Baseline in Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (SHAQ-DI) Total Score at Week 24

    SHAQ-DI included the general health assessment questionnaire-disability index (HAD-DI) assessment and 6 scleroderma-specific VAS items to explore impact of participant's disease. General HAD-DI assessment included 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities addressing scleroderma related manifestations that contribute to disability. It is a quality of life measure. For each question, level of difficulty was scored from 0 to 3, where 0=no difficulty, 1=some difficulty, 2=much difficulty, 3=unable to do. Some domains in the SHAQ are visual analog scales that are measured first and then changed to a 0-3 scale. SHAQ-DI total score was computed as the sum of domain scores divided by the number of domains answered and it ranged from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (maximum difficulty), where higher score indicated greater disability/worse functionality. LS mean and 95% CI were obtained from MMRM model.

Each skin site was rated on 0 to 3 scale; where 0 = normal skin, 1 = mild thickness, 2 = moderate thickness, and 3 = severe thickness and unable to pinch.

Participants breathe in (inhale) air containing a very small, harmless amount of a tracer gas, such as carbon monoxide. Participants hold their breath for 10 seconds, then rapidly blow it out (exhale). The exhaled gas was tested to determine amount of the tracer gas absorbed during the breath. For participants who received placebo/belumosudil in the DB period, the Baseline value was defined as valid and last non-missing value obtained within 29 days prior to participant receiving first study medication in the DB period.

Model description
Three groups (1:1:1) to receive orally administered belumosudil 200 mg QD, belumosudil 200 mg BID, or matched placebo for 28 weeks. The study was double-blinded for the first 28 weeks followed by an open-label extension of 24 weeks. After unblinding, the participants in the belumosudil groups continued on the same belumosudil dose whereas the participants in the placebo group were re-randomized to one of the belumosudil doses (200 mg QD or 200 BID) in 1:1 fashion.
