About this study

Official title: Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of TEV-45779 Compared to XOLAIR (Omalizumab) in Patients With Chronic Idiopathic/Spontaneous Urticaria Who Remain Symptomatic Despite Antihistamine (H1) Treatment.

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of TEV-45779 compared to XOLAIR in patients with Urticaria (CIU)/Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic on H1 antihistamine treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study to demonstrate similar efficacy and safety of TEV-45779 compared to XOLAIR administered sc at doses of 300 mg or 150 mg every 4 weeks for 24 weeks (6 treatments) in patients with Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU)/Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic despite antihistamine (H1) treatment. This study will consist of a screening period (up to 2 weeks), a 24-week treatment period consisting of a 12-week double-blind main treatment period and a 12-week double-blind transition period, which is followed by a 16-week follow-up period. The total duration of the study is up to 42 weeks.

At baseline, patients will be randomized in a 2:2:1:1 ratio to receive the first 3 treatments of TEV-45779 300 mg, XOLAIR 300 mg, TEV-45779 150 mg or XOLAIR 150 mg (main treatment period). At Week 12, prior to receiving their fourth dose of study medication, patients in the XOLAIR 300 mg and the XOLAIR 150 mg treatment groups will be randomized 1:1 to receive 3 additional doses of XOLAIR (at the same dose level as prior to randomization, or switch to 3 doses of TEV-45779 (transition period) at the same dose level as prior to randomization. All patients in the TEV-45779 groups will continue to receive TEV-45779 at the same dose levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in the ISS7 at Week 12, TEV-45779 High Dose Compared to XOLAIR High Dose (For European Medicines Agency [EMA] Submission)

    The severity of the itch was recorded by the participants twice daily in their eDiary, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (intense/severe). A weekly itch score (ISS7) was defined as the sum of the available daily itch severity scores in that week, divided by the number of days for which a daily itch severity score was available, multiplied by 7. The daily ISS was calculated as the average of the morning and evening scores. The possible range of the weekly score was therefore 0 (best score) to 21 (worst score) with higher scores indicating more severe itching. Least square (LS) mean and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model. Multiple imputation performed both for the participants having missing ISS7 at week 12 and for participants using any disallowed concomitant medication.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in the ISS7 at Week 12, TEV-45779 High Dose Compared to XOLAIR High Dose (For Food and Drug Administration [FDA] Submission)

    The severity of the itch was recorded by the participants twice daily in their eDiary, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (intense/severe). A weekly itch score (ISS7) was defined as the sum of the available daily itch severity scores in that week, divided by the number of days for which a daily itch severity score was available, multiplied by 7. The daily ISS was calculated as the average of the morning and evening scores. The possible range of the weekly score was therefore 0 (best score) to 21 (worst score) with higher scores indicating more severe itching. LS mean and 90% CI were calculated using ANCOVA model. Multiple imputation performed for the participants having missing ISS7 at week 12.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

Secondary outcomes (22)
  1. Change From Baseline in the ISS7 at Weeks 4 and 12

    The severity of the itch was recorded by the participants twice daily in their eDiary, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (intense/severe). A weekly itch score (ISS7) was defined as the sum of the available daily itch severity scores in that week, divided by the number of days for which a daily itch severity score was available, multiplied by 7. The daily ISS was calculated as the average of the morning and evening scores. The possible range of the weekly score was therefore 0 (best score) to 21 (worst score) with higher scores indicating more severe itching. The observed mean and standard deviation values are reported here with no imputation performed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 4 and 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Weekly Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7) at Week 12

    The UAS was a composite eDiary-recorded score with numeric severity intensity ratings on a scale of 0 - 3 (0 = none to 3 = intense/severe) for (1) the number of wheals (hives); and (2) the intensity of the itch separately, measured twice daily (morning and evening). The daily UAS was the average of the morning and evening scores, which ranged from 0 (none) to 6 (severe). The UAS7 was the sum of the daily UAS scores over 7 days, which ranged from 0 (minimum) to 42 (highest urticaria severity). Higher scores indicated greater severity of urticaria symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  3. Percentage of Participants With a UAS7 Score ≤6 at Week 12

    The UAS was a composite eDiary-recorded score with numeric severity intensity ratings on a scale of 0 - 3 (0 = none to 3 = intense/severe) for (1) the number of wheals (hives); and (2) the intensity of the itch separately, measured twice daily (morning and evening). The daily UAS was the average of the morning and evening scores, which ranged from 0 (none) to 6 (severe). The UAS7 is the number of participants achieving the endpoint of less than or equal to 6. UAS7 was calculated as the sum of the daily UAS scores over 7 days, which ranged from 0 (minimum) to 42 (highest urticaria severity). Higher scores indicated greater severity of urticaria symptoms.

    Measured: Week 12

  4. Percentage of Complete Responders (UAS7 Score = 0) at Week 12

    The UAS was a composite eDiary-recorded score with numeric severity intensity ratings on a scale of 0 - 3 (0 = none to 3 = intense/severe) for (1) the number of wheals (hives); and (2) the intensity of the itch separately, measured twice daily (morning and evening). The daily UAS was the average of the morning and evening scores, which ranged from 0 (none) to 6 (severe). The UAS7 was the sum of the daily UAS scores over 7 days, which ranged from 0 (minimum) to 42 (highest urticaria severity). Higher scores indicated greater severity of urticaria symptoms. Complete responders were participants with a UAS7 score = 0.

    Measured: Week 12

  5. Change From Baseline in the Physician's (In-clinic) Assessment of UAS at Week 12

    Physician's (in-clinic) assessment of UAS score was performed using the in-clinic UAS. The physician, or the person designated, provided the sum of the score of the participant's urticaria lesions (number of wheals [hives]) and pruritus (itch) reflective of the participant's condition over the 12 hours prior to the visit using the rating scale of 0 - 6 (0 = none to 6 = intense/severe). Higher scores indicated greater severity of urticaria symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  6. Change From Baseline in the Weekly Number of Wheals Score at Week 12

    The wheals (hives) severity score, defined by number of wheals (hives), was recorded by the participant twice daily in their eDiary, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (> 12 hives/12 hours). A weekly number of wheals score was derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. The possible range of the weekly score was therefore 0 (no wheals) - 21 (highest hives activity).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  7. Change From Baseline in the Weekly Size of the Largest Wheals Score at Week 12

    The weekly size of the largest wheals score was calculated from the eDiary data. A wheal score of 0 was assigned when <10 small wheals (diameter <3 centimeters [cm]) were present, presence of 10-50 small wheals or less than 10 large wheals (diameter >3 cm) was denoted by score of 1. A score of 2 was assigned when more than 50 small wheals or 10 to 50 large wheals were present. A score of 3 denoted wheals covering almost the entire body surface area. A weekly score was defined as the sum of the available daily size of the largest wheals scores in that week, divided by the number of days for which a daily score was available, multiplied by 7. The possible range of the weekly score was therefore 0 (best score) to 21 (worst score) with higher scores indicating more severity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  8. Time to Minimally Important Difference (MID) Response in ISS7 Score

    Time to MID response was defined as time to a reduction from baseline in ISS7 of ≥5 points in ISS7 score by Week 12.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 12

  9. Percentage of ISS7 MID Responders at Week 12

    A responder was defined as a participant with a reduction from baseline in ISS7 of ≥5 points in ISS7 score.

    Measured: Week 12

  10. Percentage of Angioedema-Free Days From Week 4 to Week 12

    Percentage of angioedema-free days from Week 4 to Week 12 were calculated based on the diary data as the number of days in the diary between the dates of Week 4 and Week 12 visits with no angioedema episodes, divided by the total number of days with diary entries in this time span * 100%.

    Measured: Week 4 to Week 12

  11. Change From Baseline in the Overall Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score at Week 12

    The DLQI consisted of 10 questions concerning participants' perception of the impact of skin diseases on different aspects of their health-related quality of life over the last week. The DLQI total score was calculated by adding the score of each question (scored as follows: Very much = 3; Yes [in question 7.a] = 3; A lot = 2; A little = 1; Not at all = 0; Not relevant = 0; No [in question 7.a] = 0; Question unanswered = 0), resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more the quality of life was impaired. A score higher than 10 indicated that the participant's life was being severely affected by their skin disease.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  12. Change From Week 12 in ISS7 at Weeks 24 and 40

    The severity of the itch was recorded by the participants twice daily in their eDiary, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (intense/severe). A weekly itch score (ISS7) was defined as the sum of the available daily itch severity scores in that week, divided by the number of days for which a daily itch severity score was available, multiplied by 7. The daily ISS was calculated as the average of the morning and evening scores. The possible range of the weekly score was therefore 0 (best score) to 21 (worst score) with higher scores indicating more severe itching.

    Measured: Week 12, Weeks 24 and 40

  13. Change From Week 12 in the UAS7 at Week 24

    The UAS was a composite eDiary-recorded score with numeric severity intensity ratings on a scale of 0 - 3 (0 = none to 3 = intense/severe) for (1) the number of wheals (hives); and (2) the intensity of the itch separately, measured twice daily (morning and evening). The daily UAS was the average of the morning and evening scores, which can range from 0 (none) to 6 (severe). The UAS7 was the sum of the daily UAS scores over 7 days, which can range from 0 (minimum) to 42 (highest urticaria severity). Higher scores indicated greater severity of urticaria symptoms.

    Measured: Week 12, Week 24

  14. Change From Week 12 in the Physician's (In-clinic) Assessment of UAS7 at Week 24

    Physician's (in-clinic) assessment of UAS score was performed using the in-clinic UAS. The physician, or the person designated, provided the sum of the score of the participant's urticaria lesions (number of wheals [hives]) and pruritus (itch) reflective of the participant's condition over the 12 hours prior to the visit using the rating scale of 0 - 6 (0 = none to 6 = intense/severe). Higher scores indicated greater severity of urticaria symptoms.

    Measured: Week 12, Week 24

  15. Change From Week 12 in the Weekly Number of Wheals Score at Weeks 24 and 40

    The wheals (hives) severity score, defined by number of wheals (hives), was recorded by the participant twice daily in their eDiary, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (> 12 hives/12 hours). A weekly number of wheals score was derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. The possible range of the weekly score was therefore 0 (no wheals) - 21 (highest hives activity).

    Measured: Week 12, Weeks 24 and 40

  16. Change From Week 12 in the Weekly Size of the Largest Wheals Score at Weeks 24 and 40

    The weekly size of the largest wheals score was calculated from eDiary data. A wheal score of 0 was assigned when <10 small wheals (diameter <3 cm) were present, presence of 10-50 small wheals or less than 10 large wheals (diameter >3 cm) was denoted by score 1. A score of 2 was assigned when more than 50 small wheals or 10 to 50 large wheals were present. A score of 3 denoted wheals covering almost the entire body surface area. A weekly score was defined as sum of available daily size of the largest wheals scores in that week, divided by the number of days for which a daily score was available, multiplied by 7. The possible range of the weekly score was therefore 0 (best score) to 21 (worst score) with higher scores indicating more severity.

    Measured: Week 12, Weeks 24 and 40

  17. Percentage of Angioedema-Free Days From Week 12 to Week 24

    Percentage of angioedema-free days from Week 12 to Week 24 was calculated based on the diary data as the number of days in the diary between the dates of Week 12 and Week 24 visits with no angioedema episodes, divided by the total number of days with diary entries in this time span * 100%.

    Measured: Week 12 to Week 24

  18. Change From Week 12 in the Overall DLQI Score at Weeks 24 and 40

    The DLQI consisted of 10 questions concerning participants' perception of the impact of skin diseases on different aspects of their health-related quality of life over the last week. The DLQI total score was calculated by adding the score of each question (scored as follows: Very much = 3; Yes [in question 7.a] = 3; A lot = 2; A little = 1; Not at all = 0; Not relevant = 0; No [in question 7.a] = 0; Question unanswered = 0), resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more the quality of life was impaired. A score higher than 10 indicated that the participant's life was being severely affected by their skin disease.

    Measured: Week 12, Weeks 24 and 40

  19. Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) in the Main Treatment Period

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Serious AEs (SAEs) were defined as death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized participant and required medical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. AEs were considered TEAEs if onset occurred or worsened on or after the first dose date. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 12

  20. Number of Participants With at Least One TEAE Week 12 up to Week 24
