About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter, Phase 2 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of RPH-104 in Adult Subjects With Schnitzler Syndrome

The primary goal of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of RPH-104 in subjects with Schnitzler Syndrome using Schnitzler Disease Activity Score (SDAS), which includes the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and the local laboratory C-reactive protein (CRP) result

Read the detailed description

The study will include a screening period (up to 28 days), a double blind, placebo controlled treatment period (14 days), followed by an 8 week safety follow up period after the second dose of study drug.

Subjects with an established diagnosis of Schnitzler Syndrome (SchS) will participate in a Screening period of up to 28 days after signing an informed consent form (ICF). Subjects will be advised to schedule the Day 0 visit with the study staff as soon as the symptoms of SchS flare occur during the Screening period.

If the subject does not meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria at the site visit during the screening period, other screening visits are allowed within this period until the subject meets the study criteria.

A total of 14 subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups (in a 1:1 ratio) to receive a double blind, single subcutaneous (SC) injection of study drug (80 mg RPH-104 or matching placebo) on Day 0. On Day 14, subjects will receive a second dose of randomized treatment as well as an additional dose of 80 mg RPH-104 or placebo based on response to treatment, such that responders (SDAS = 0) will receive a dose of placebo, and non responders defined as no response (no change in SDAS) or partial responders (SDAS ≥ 1, and activity reduction by 1 or more points of SDAS compared to baseline) will receive an 80 mg RPH 104 dose. (Schnitzler Disease Activity Score includes the PGA score and C-reactive protein (CRP) result: If the PGA and CRP grades are not of the same severity, the higher severity level of either PGA or CRP will be used to determine the SDAS)

The study will be stopped after Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) review if:

  1. Death is reported in 2 subjects assigned to the RPH 104 treatment arm or after receiving RPH 104 on Day 14 (i.e., non responder to the Day 0 study drug dose).
  2. Two subjects assigned to the RPH 104 treatment arm or after receiving RPH 104 on Day 14 (ie, non responder to the Day 0 study drug dose) report liver function test abnormalities which meet Hy's Law criteria (ie, increased ALT and/or AST 3 fold or greater from upper limit of normal (ULN) combined with jaundice or weakness or hypochondrial pain/severity or increased Total Bilirubin (TBil) level 2 fold or greater from ULN, [not explained by any other causative factors like virus]).

The severity of SchS symptoms will be assessed daily from Day 0 through Day 28 using the PR SchS Scale, at clinic visits on Day 0, Day 14, and Day 28 using the Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS), at clinic visits on Day 14 and Day 28 using the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), and at each clinic visit using the PGA, CRP, SAA, and SDAS. Subjects will be followed through Day 70 for safety (A Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will periodically review and evaluate the accumulated study data for subject safety).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 80 mg RPH-104 in people with Schnitzler Syndrome and Urticarial Vasculitis With Monoclonal Immunoglobulin M Component, Schnitzler (Disorder), run by R-Pharm Overseas, Inc. at 4 sites 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 21 inclusion and 23 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 15 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

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?

Proportion of subjects with complete response (Schnitzler Disease Activity Score (SDAS = 0)) to therapy on Day 14 in the RPH-104 group as compared to the placebo group (time frame: Day 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 15 Nov 2024.
