Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Pharmacodynamic, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetic

The primary objective of this study is to explore the safety and tolerability of DS-2325a in patients with NS.

Secondary objectives 4

  1. Secondary Objective: To explore the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of DS-2325a in patients with NS.
  2. Secondary Objective: To explore the efficacy of DS-2325a in patients with NS.
  3. Secondary Objective: To explore the immunogenicity of DS-2325a in patients with NS.
  4. Observational Part Objective: To explore the characteristics of patients with NS for 12 weeks immediately before study treatment administration by assessing the same safety and efficacy (including mechanistic efficacy) endpoints to be assessed during the Interventional Part.

1 Observational Part
Observational Part will last for 12 weeks, during which patients will not be treated and will be investigated only to understand the course of their disease. The intent of the Observational Part of the study is to gather ample information on the course of the NS disease of each patient participating in the study during the time immediately preceding study treatment administration. During the Observational Part, patients will be assessed according to the same safety and efficacy (including mechanistic efficacy) endpoints, as the Interventional Part Main Phase. This should give stronger possibility of comparing posttreatment with pre-treatment data than simply assessing patients once at Baseline, enhancing therefore the possibility to conclude if DS-2325a gives early clinical signal or not. Additionally, the information collected during Observational Part will possibly be used to elaborate a mathematical disease progression model that could also facilitate concluding if DS-2325a gives early clinical signal or not. Participation in the Observational Part should also give patients the possibility of acclimatizing with study environment and familiarizing with study procedures, such as use of questionnaires.
Not Applicable None
2 Interventional Part Main Phase
The Interventional Part Main Phase will be 12 week, double-blinded and placebo-controlled part, where patients will be randomized to 2 parallel arms to receive DS-2325a or placebo in a 2:1 ratio. The intent of the Interventional Part of the study is to explore DS-2325a safety and efficacy, by comparing post-treatment with pre-treatment NS course and, in the Main Phase, the effect on NS of treatment with DS-2325a with treatment with placebo. Double-blind, placebo-controlled, and randomized design of the Interventional Part Main Phase should minimize bias. In addition to characterizing safety, intent of the Interventional Part Main Phase is to find early clinical signal, as initial evidence of DS-2325a efficacy.

Placebo: Arm involves patients receiving placebo
3 Interventional Part Extension Phase
The Extension Phase will last for 24 weeks, it will be open-label and all patients will receive DS-2325a SC. All patients will transition from the Interventional Part Main Phase to the Extension Phase. The Extension Phase will be discontinued if early clinical signal is not found. The intent of the Interventional Part Extension Phase is to gather additional safety and efficacy information on DS-2325a, albeit under open-label design.
2 None
4 Follow-Up
The intent of the Follow-Up component of the study is to monitor DS-2325a safety from the end of treatment, marked by the End of Treatment (EOT) visit, 1 week after the last drug administration, until the time DS-2325a is expected to have been virtually completely eliminated, marked by the End of Study (EOS) visit 8 weeks after EOT.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 5

  1. Male or female patients aged 18 to 65 years with clinical diagnosis of NS including at least 3 out of the 4 following clinical criteria: 1. Neonatal erythroderma; 2. Bamboo hair and/or alopecia; 3. Chronic atopy specified as food allergy and/or asthma and/or rhino-conjunctivitis and/or eczema for at least 2 years; 4. Ichthyosis linearis circumflexa or scaling erythroderma or equivalent. Eligible participants are those who have received treatment in the past that did not work and so need the further care.
  2. Immunohistochemistry documentation of absence of lympho-epithelial Kazal-type-related inhibitor (LEKTI) in the skin or confirmed serine peptidase inhibitor of Kazal type 5 (SPINK5) gene mutations.
  3. NS involvement of ≥20% of Body Surface Area (BSA) at both Screening and Baseline.
  4. Patients must give written informed consent to participation in the study prior to Screening.
  5. Patients must be willing to have skin tape harvests collected from lesional and non-lesional skin areas

Exclusion criteria 2

  1. Any skin disease that may interfere with the diagnosis or evaluation of NS.
  2. Any infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antiparasitics, or antifungals within 2 weeks before Screening visit.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Safety endpoints will be adverse events (AEs), including serious AEs (SAEs), injection site reactions (ISRs), physical examination findings, vital sign recordings (body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate), results of safety laboratory analyses of blood and urine, and electrocardiogram (ECG) findings.

Secondary endpoints 4

  1. Endpoints descriptive of plasma PK properties will be PK parameters derived from population PK analysis, including, but not limited to, pre-dose trough concentration (Ctrough), AUCtau,ss, total body clearance (CL), and CL/F, and epidermis-to-dermis DS-2325a concentration ratio (Ked).
  2. DS-2325a presence will be assessed in the skin if the optional skin biopsies will be available.
  3. Several endpoints for the assessment of efficacy (ECS), including, but not limited to IASI (including IASI-Erythema and IASI Scaling), Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) and patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, such as Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores and quality-of-life assessments obtained using the Skindex-29 and the Dermatology-Life-Quality-Index (DLQI) questionnaires.
  4. Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against DS-2325a will be the immunogenicity endpoint.
