Elotuzumab in Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD)

The severity of AEs was classified using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0.

The number of AEs classified as infections that were Grade 3 or higher. The severity of AEs was classified using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0.

The number of participants with malignancies reported as AEs. The severity of AEs was classified using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0.

Hepatotoxicity is defined as an increase in the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) to elevations three times the upper limit of normal.

An adverse event (AE) is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes (21 CFR 312.32(a)):

1. Death. 2. Life-threatening event: An AE is considered "life-threatening" if, in the view of either the investigator or Sponsor, its occurrence places the participant at immediate risk of death. It does not include an AE that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death. 3. Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. 4. Persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions. 5. Congenital anomaly or birth defect. 6. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

The number of participants with infusion reactions reported as AEs. Infusion reactions are defined as any adverse reaction within 24 hours of infusion which are Grade 2 or higher events and at least possibly related to study drug. The severity of AEs was classified using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0.

The IgG4-RD RI detects change in disease activity and identifies improvements/worsening in the same or different organ systems. It encompasses more than 25 organs/sites and records the following for each organ/site: (i) activity trend (through a 0-3 [normal/resolved - worsening] organ/site score); (ii) presence of symptoms due to active disease; (iii) need for urgent care; (iv) presence of damage; and (v) presence of symptoms due to damage. The final activity score at each visit is obtained by summing all organ/site scores (i) and by doubling items needing urgent care (iii). Higher scores represent greater (i.e. worse) disease activity. % improvement in the IgG4-RD RI = 100 x ( (Baseline IgG4-RD RI Activity Score - Week 24 IgG4-RD RI Activity Score) / Baseline IgG4-RD RI Activity Score). Participants who use glucocorticoids/immunosuppressants beyond that permitted by protocol, or who experience a disease flare before 24 weeks will be defined as achieving no disease response (0%).

IgG4-Related Disease flare was defined as recurrence of disease activity such that additional immunosuppressive therapy beyond the trial protocol is indicated. Such additional therapy may include glucocorticoids or alternative immunosuppressive agents. At the time of a potential disease flare, investigators documented the features of the disease flare in each involved organ, including laboratory evaluations, radiology studies, and other procedures (e.g., biopsy). Disease flares were reported as adverse events.

The Physician Global Assessment of the participant's current disease activity was recorded on a 100 mm linear horizontal visual analog scale, where the left hand extreme of the line is considered "Very Good" (0 mm, symptom free and no IgG4-RD symptoms) and the right hand extreme is considered "Very Bad" (100 mm, maximum IgG4-RD activity). Only active disease (as opposed to damage) is considered in the scoring. Change was calculated as the value at Week 12, 24 or 48 minus the value at Baseline.

Change was calculated as the value at Week 12, 24 or 48 minus the value at Baseline.

An assessment of damage caused by IgG4-RD in each affected organ is part of the Responder Index. The IgG4-RD RI encompasses more than 25 organs/sites and records the following set of information for each organ/site: (i) activity trend (through a 0-3 [normal/resolved - worsening] organ/site score); (ii) presence of symptoms due to active disease; (iii) need for urgent care; (iv) presence of damage; and (v) presence of symptoms due to damage. Activity and damage are considered separately from the standpoint of scoring, because only disease activity can be expected to respond to treatment. Damage is defined as organ dysfunction that has occurred as a result of IgG4-RD and is considered permanent. The total damage score at each visit is defined as the total number of damaged organs and can range from 0 (no damage) to more than 26 (severe damage).
