  • Ages 6 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female, of any ethnic origin.
  • 6 to 75 years of age, inclusive.
  • If used, has received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and/or colchicine and/or corticosteroids (in any combination) at stable dose levels for at least 7 days prior to study drug dosing (although stable doses for a shorter period will be acceptable if in the opinion of the Investigator, in consultation with the Sponsor, a shorter period of stability is not anticipated to alter the baseline CRP values) and is anticipated to continue these concomitant medications at these dose levels for the duration of the active Treatment Period.

  • Subjects eligible for Parts 1, 2 and 4 have to present during a symptomatic episode of recurrent idiopathic pericarditis (RIP; Parts 1 and 2) and post pericardiotomy syndrome (PPS; Part 4) and a history of at least one pericarditis recurrence. They can be enrolled into Part 1 or 4 if the CRP value at screening is >1 mg/dL, and into Part 2 if a CRP ≤1 mg/dL (attributed to concomitant medications e.g., corticosteroids), and there is an evidence of pericardial inflammation on cardiac MRI confirmed by the imaging core lab.

Who cannot join

  • Has a diagnosis of pericarditis that was secondary to specific excluded etiologies, including tuberculous, neoplastic, or purulent etiologies, post-myocardial infarction (early or late), thoracic trauma, myocarditis, or systemic diseases including autoinflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.).
  • Has a history of immunodepression, including a positive human immunodeficiency virus test result.
  • Has received treatment within the 6-month period before dosing with any systemic immunosuppressants (other than, for example, corticosteroids or mycophenolate) which, in the opinion of the Investigator (in consultation with the Sponsor), may interfere with the study endpoints.
  • Currently receiving other interleukin (IL)-1 or IL-6 blockers, Janus-activating kinase (JAK) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors.

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Pilot Study of KPL-914 in Recurrent Pericarditis

The purpose of this study is to assess the preliminary efficacy and safety of KPL-914 treatment in participants with recurrent pericarditis.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single-arm pilot study to explore clinical and biochemical endpoints of pericarditis symptomatology and to collect data to assess inter- and intra-subject variability on both at-baseline and on-treatment parameters. This study consists of 5 distinct Parts, and all participants will be treated with once-weekly subcutaneously (SC)-administered injections of KPL-914.There is an optional 18-week extension period.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • KPL-914Drug

    Also called rilonacept

    KPL-914 (rilonacept) will be provided in its commercially available formulation as a lyophilized powder to be reconstituted for SC administration.

    Adult participants (≥ 18 years of age) KPL-914 will be administered as an initial loading dose of 320 mg SC, delivered as 2 subcutaneous injections of 160 mg SC each on Day 0, then 160 mg SC dosed once weekly for 5 subsequent weeks.

    Pediatric participants (6 to <18 years of age) KPL-914 will be administered with an initial loading dose of 4.4 mg/kg, up to a maximum of 320 mg, delivered as 2 subcutaneous injections of 2.2 mg/kg each with a maximum single-injection volume of 2 mL.

    Participants considered to be 'treatment responders' will be offered participation in an optional 18-week extension period (EP) in which KPL-914 can be continued for a total duration of KPL-914 treatment of up to 24 weeks.

KPL-914: Part 1 ParticipantsExperimentalPart 1 enrolls symptomatic participants with recurrent idiopathic pericarditis (RIP) with an elevated marker of systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP] > 1mg/dL).
Receives: Drug: KPL-914
KPL-914: Part 2 ParticipantsExperimentalPart 2 enrolls symptomatic participants with RIP with CRP ≤1 mg/dL which, in the opinion of the Investigator, can be attributed to concomitant medications (e.g., corticosteroids) and with pericardial inflammation present on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed by the imaging core lab.

What is being measured

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

  1. Parts 1, 2 and 4: Pretreatment C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Levels

    Measured: Screening Visit 1 (Day -3 to Day 0), Screening Visit 2 (Day -3 to Day 0), Day 0, Baseline (defined as the last non-missing assessment prior to the first study drug administration)

  5. Parts 3 and 5: Change From Baseline Over Time in CRP Levels

  6. Parts 3 and 5: Change From Baseline Over Time in Pain NRS Scores

    The average level of pericarditis pain over previous 24 hours was assessed by participants at each visit using 11-point pain NRS (where "0" indicates "no pain" and "10" indicates pain "as bad as it could be"). Baseline is defined as the last non-missing assessment prior to the first study drug administration.

    Measured: Baseline, TP Day 3, TP Weeks 2, 3, Interval Evaluation Visit (Weeks 3-4), 4, 5, 6, End of TP Visit (Week 6), EP Months 1, 2, 3, 4, EP Interval Evaluation Visit (Week 15-Week 20), Final Visit (up to EP Month 4)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing KPL-914 in people with Recurrent Pericarditis, run by Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals (UK), Ltd. at 14 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 11 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 May 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Parts 1, 2 and 4: Pretreatment C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Levels (time frame: Screening Visit 1 (Day -3 to Day 0), Screening Visit 2 (Day -3 to Day 0), Day 0, Baseline (defined as the last non-missing assessment prior to the first study drug administration)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03980522, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 May 2021.
