Clinical summary
Summary
This is a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled study. In Part A of this study, participants will be randomised to receive either sutimlimab or placebo via intravenous administration. In Part B, all participants will undergo blinded cross-over loading doses. This will allow all participants to receive sutimlimab, while maintaining Part A blinding.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with primary cold agglutinin disease
Eligibility
Inclusion
- Body weight of >=39 kg at screening.
- Confirmed diagnosis of primary CAD based on the following criteria: a) Chronic hemolysis, b) Polyspecific direct antiglobulin test (DAT) positive, c) Monospecific DAT strongly positive for C3d, d) Cold agglutinin titer >= 64 at 4 degree Celsius, and e) Immunoglobulin G DAT less than or equal to (<=) 1+, and, f) No overt malignant disease.
- Hemoglobin level <= 10.0 g/dL.
- Bilirubin level above the normal reference range, including participants with Gilbert's Syndrome.
Exclusion
- Cold agglutinin syndrome secondary to infection, rheumatologic disease, or active hematologic malignancy.
- History of blood transfusion within 6 months of screening, or history of more than one blood transfusion within 12 months of screening.
- Clinically relevant infection of any kind within the month preceding enrollment (example, active hepatitis C, pneumonia).
- Clinical diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus; or other autoimmune disorders with anti-nuclear antibodies at screening. Anti-nuclear antibodies of long-standing duration without associated clinical symptoms would be adjudicated on a case-by-case basis during the confirmatory review of participant eligibility.
- Positive hepatitis panel (including hepatitis B surface antigen and/or hepatitis C virus antibody) prior to or at screening.
- Positive human immunodeficiency virus antibody at screening.
- Treatment with rituximab monotherapy within 3 months or rituximab combination therapies (example, with bendamustine, fludarabine, ibrutinib, or cytotoxic drugs) within 6 months prior to enrollment.
