About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of TAK-079 in Combination With Standard Background Therapy in Patients With Moderate to Severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TAK-079 in comparison with matching placebo, administered once every 3 weeks over a 12-week dosing period in participants with active SLE who are receiving stable background therapy for SLE.

Read the detailed description

TAK-079 is being tested in a study population with moderate to severe SLE. This study will evaluate the safety and biologic activity of TAK-079 or matching placebo in combination with stable SLE background therapy.

The study will enroll approximately 24 participants across 3 sequentially enrolling cohorts. Each cohort will enroll 8 participants, where 6 participants will be assigned to TAK-079 injection, and 2 participants will be assigned to Placebo. Participants will receive TAK-079 or matching placebo in combination with principal investigator directed background therapy for SLE.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in the United States. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and will be followed up for the safety assessment for the additional 12 weeks up to Week 24 after receiving their last dose of study drug. Based on the clinical assessments, participants may complete or may advance to long-term safety follow up period for an additional 12-week safety monitoring period up to Week 36.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Experience at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE)

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A TEAE is defined as an AE with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. An SAE is an adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

    Measured: From the study start to end of the study (up to Week 36)

  2. Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    The severity of TEAEs will be graded using National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.0 definitions of Grade 1 through Grade 5. Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living. Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care activities of daily living. Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 Death related to AE.

    Measured: From the study start up to end of the study (up to Week 36)

  3. Percentage of Participants With ≥ 1 Adverse Event (AE) Leading to Treatment Discontinuation

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug.

    Measured: From the study start up to end of the study (up to Week 36)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for TAK-079

    Measured: Day 1 pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 168 hours) post-dose; Day 22 pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 108 hours) post-dose; Days 43 and 64 pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 5 hours) post-dose

  2. AUClast: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration for TAK-079

    Measured: Day 1 pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 168 hours) post-dose; Day 22 pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 108 hours) post-dose; Days 43 and 64 pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 5 hours) post-dose.

  3. Number of Participants With Change From Baseline In Immune Cell Subsets

    Immune cell subsets included plasma cells, plasma blast (PBs), natural killer (NK) cells, B cells, T cells, monocytes, and total lymphocytes. The concentration of each plasma subset cell type is measured at baseline and post-baseline timepoints and the number of participants who had change in the concentration of each plasma subset cells from baseline were evaluated and reported in this outcome measure.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 85 (End of Treatment [EOT])

  4. Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in Immune Cell Subsets Determined Based on Receptor Occupancy

    Receptor occupancy was evaluated for plasma cells, PBs, NK cells, B cells, T cells, and monocytes. The concentration of cells expressing CD38+ and those not expressing the same is correlated and used to determine receptor occupancy. The receptor occupancy of these cells was determined at baseline and post-baseline timepoints. The number of participants who had change in the receptor occupancy of these cells from baseline were evaluated and reported in this outcome measure.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 85 (EOT)

  5. Change From Baseline in Cytokines Level

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 85

  6. Number of Participants With Positive Anti-drug Antibodies

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 85 (EOT)
