Proof-of-concept Study Evaluating Subcutaneous Amlitelimab in Adult Participants With Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Study of Investigational Medication for Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Not Recruiting
18 years - 70 years
All
Phase 2
90 participants needed

Study Overview

This is a parallel, Phase 2, 2-arm, double-blind, randomized, multicenter, multinational, placebo-controlled study to evaluate efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and biological effects of treatment of subcutaneous injection of amlitelimab compared with placebo in male and female participants aged 18 to 70 years with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

The purpose of this study is to measure standardized clinician reported and participant-reported outcomes (ClinRO and PRO), safety, and drug concentration. An optional long-term extension (LTE) period will assess chronic safety and efficacy over an additional 80 weeks of amlitelimab treatment.

Study details include:

  • The study duration will be up to 116 weeks, including a 4-week Screening period, a 16-week double-blind treatment period (DBT), an optional 80-week LTE period and a 16-week post-treatment follow-up period.
  • All participants who complete the 16-week DBT period will be offered entry into an optional LTE.
  • Participants who do not wish to enter the optional LTE period or who stop treatment prior to Week 16 (Visit 6) or stop investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration prior to completing the LTE period will proceed into the 16-week post-treatment follow-up period.
  • The number of planned in clinic visits will be up to six during the DBT period with an additional nine during the LTE period, plus one post-treatment follow-up end-of-study visit. Up to 11 optional in clinic visits are allowed for participants who do not wish to self-administer IMP between scheduled in clinic visits during the LTE period.

Study Details

The study duration per participant will be up to 116 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Hidradenitis
  • Age: 18 years - 70 years
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participant must be 18 (or country's age of majority if >18) years to 70 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Participants with a history of signs and symptoms consistent with HS for at least 1 year prior to baseline.
  • Participants must have HS lesions present in at least 2 distinct anatomic areas (eg, left, and right axilla; or left axilla and left inguino-crural fold), 1 of which must be Hurley Stage II or Hurley Stage III.
  • Participant must have had an inadequate response to at least a 12-week trial of an oral antibiotic for treatment of HS

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with a diagnosis of inflammatory conditions other than HS (including but not limited to systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, myositis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, multiple sclerosis, Behcet's disease, sarcoidosis, etc)
  • Any other active skin disease or condition (eg, bacterial, fungal, or viral infection) that may interfere with assessment of HS

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a potential participation in a clinical trial

This study investigates the effects of an investigational medication given as a subcutaneous injection for adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The purpose of this study is to compare the investigational medication with a placebo, which is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational medicine but does not contain any medicine, to evaluate its safety and effects on the condition.

Participants in the study will receive either the investigational medication or a placebo through injections. The study includes a double-blind treatment period, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who is receiving the investigational medication or the placebo. The study also offers an optional long-term extension to further assess the effects of the investigational medication over an extended period.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 to 70 years with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa can participate. Key eligibility includes having HS lesions in at least two distinct areas and an inadequate response to a 12-week trial of oral antibiotics. Participants should not have other inflammatory conditions or active skin diseases.
  • Study details: Participants will receive either the investigational medication or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study is double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives which treatment. An optional long-term extension is available for continued assessment.
  • Study timelines and visits: The study will last 116 weeks. The study requires 6 visits.
