Description

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, PK, and PD of satralizumab in participants with NMDAR and LGI1 encephalitis.

Official Title

A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Basket Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Satralizumab in Patients With Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartic Acid Receptor (NMDAR) or Anti-leucine-rich Glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) Encephalitis

Keywords

NMDAR Autoimmune Encephalitis, LGI1 Autoimmune Encephalitis, Encephalitis, Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System, Partial Epilepsies, Hashimoto Disease, Satralizumab

Eligibility

You can join if…

Open to people ages 12 years and up

  • Reasonable exclusion of tumor or malignancy before baseline visit (randomization)
  • Onset of AIE symptoms ≤ 9 months before randomization
  • Meet the definition of "New Onset" or "Incomplete Responder" AIE
  • For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use adequate contraception during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the final dose of satralizumab or placebo
  • For participants enrolled in the extended China enrollment phase at China's sites: participants who are current residents of mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan, and of Chinese ancestry

NMDAR AIE Cohort:

  • Age ≥ 12 years
  • Diagnosis of probable or definite NMDAR encephalitis

LGI1 AIE Cohort

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Diagnosis of LGI1 encephalitis

You CAN'T join if...

  • Any untreated teratoma or thymoma at baseline visit (randomization)
  • History of carcinoma or malignancy, unless deemed cured by adequate treatment with no evidence of recurrence for ≥ 5 years before screening
  • For participants with NMDAR AIE, history of negative anti-NMDAR antibody in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using a cell-based assay within 9 months of symptom onset
  • Historically known positivity to an intracellular antigen with high cancer association or glutamate decarboxylase 65 (GAD-65)
  • Historically known positivity to any cell surface neuronal antibodies other than NMDAR and LGI1, in the absence of NMDAR and LGI1 antibody positivity
  • Confirmed paraneoplastic encephalitis
  • Confirmed central or peripheral nervous system demyelinating disease
  • Alternative causes of associated symptoms
  • History of herpes simplex virus encephalitis in the previous 24 weeks
  • Any previous/concurrent treatment with interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitory therapy (e.g., tocilizumab), alemtuzumab, total body irradiation, or bone marrow transplantation
  • Any previous treatment with anti-cluster of differentiation 19 antibody (CD19 antibody), complement inhibitors, neonatal Fc receptor antagonists, anti-B-lymphocyte stimulator monoclonal antibody
  • Any previous treatment with T-cell depleting therapies, cladribine, or mitoxantrone
  • Treatment with oral cyclophosphamide within 1 year prior to baseline
  • Treatment with any investigational drug (including bortezomib) within 24 weeks prior to screening
  • Concurrent use of more than one immunosuppressive therapy (IST) as background therapy
  • Contraindication to all of the following rescue treatments: rituximab, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), high-dose corticosteroids, or intravenous (IV) cyclophosphamide
  • Any surgical procedure, except laparoscopic surgery or minor surgeries within 4 weeks prior to baseline, excluding surgery for thymoma or teratoma removal
  • Planned surgical procedure during the study
  • Evidence of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
  • Evidence of serious uncontrolled concomitant diseases
  • Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Active or presence of recurrent bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial infection, or other infection
  • Infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with IV anti-infective agents within 4 weeks prior to baseline visit
  • Positive hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) test at screening
  • Evidence of latent or active tuberculosis (TB)
  • History of drug or alcohol abuse within 1 year prior to baseline
  • History of diverticulitis or concurrent severe gastrointestinal (GI) disorders that, in the investigator's opinion, may lead to increased risk of complications such as GI perforation
  • Receipt of live or live-attenuated vaccine within 6 weeks prior to baseline visit
  • History of blood donation (1 unit or more), plasma donation or platelet donation within 90 days prior to screening
  • History of severe allergic reaction to a biologic agent
  • History of suicide attempt within 3 years prior to screening except if this is clearly associated with and occurs during the acute phase of LGI-1 or NMDAR encephalitis
  • Any serious medical condition or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes safe participation in and completion of the study
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 3 months after the final dose of study drug
