Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rilonacept for Treatment of Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) (NCT NCT00288704)

NCT ID: NCT00288704

Last Updated: 2011-12-06

Results Overview

The mean Key Symptom Score (KSS --from the validated, patient-administered Daily Health Assessment Form(DHAF)) was the average on a 0-10 scale (0=None, 10=Very Severe) of 5 separate scales -- rash, feeling of fever/chills, joint pain, eye redness/pain, and fatigue). KSS was averaged over two 21-day daily reporting periods (the 3 weeks prior to both baseline and week 6). In part A, a negative change in mean values indicated improvement under treatment with rilonacept in symptoms. The DHAF was used because it is a validated instrument to collect subject's self-reported responses.

Participant Flow

47 subjects were randomized into Part A. 44 of these subjects continued into the open label extension (OLE). 57 subjects were enrolled directly into the OLE without completing parts A and B of the study. 104 total subjects were in the entire study. 101 were in the OLE.

The study population included male or female adult subjects (Parts A and B), and adult and pediatric subjects (OLE phase), with confirmed NLRP-3 (Cold Induced Autoinflammatory Syndrome-1 or CIAS1) gene mutation. Only one person per household was enrolled into Parts A and B of the study. However, multiple family members went into the OLE.

Measure
Placebo
If assigned, subjects received Placebo during 1) the first 6 weeks of the study (Part A) or 2) during the randomized withdrawal period from weeks 15-24 (Part B). No subject received Placebo during the open-label extension (after week 24). The drug is administered subcutaneously on a weekly basis.
Rilonacept 160 mg
If assigned, subjects received rilonacept 160 mg during 1) the first 6 weeks of the study (Part A) or 2) during the randomized withdrawal period from weeks 15-24 (Part B). Note: Between weeks 6 and 15 (Parts A and B), all subjects received rilonacept 160 mg. Study drug is administered as a 2.0 mL subcutaneous injection once a week. At baseline (week 0) subjects receive a loading dose of rilonacept 320 mg.
Open-Label Extension (OLE) Rilonacept 160 mg
After week 24 of study, all subjects received weekly injections of rilonacept 160 mg until the end of the study. This was not part of the double blind (Part A) or randomized withdrawal (Part B) portion of the results. Pediatric subjects received rilonacept dosed 2.2 mg/kg weekly up to 160 mg. Study drug is administered as a 2.0 mL subcutaneous injection once a week.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Days -21 to -1) and Week 6 (Days 21-42)

Population: Cryopyrin Associated Autoinflammatory Syndrome (CAPS) is a rare, orphan, hereditary disease. There are several hundred CAPS cases in the United States.

The mean Key Symptom Score (KSS --from the validated, patient-administered Daily Health Assessment Form(DHAF)) was the average on a 0-10 scale (0=None, 10=Very Severe) of 5 separate scales -- rash, feeling of fever/chills, joint pain, eye redness/pain, and fatigue). KSS was averaged over two 21-day daily reporting periods (the 3 weeks prior to both baseline and week 6). In part A, a negative change in mean values indicated improvement under treatment with rilonacept in symptoms. The DHAF was used because it is a validated instrument to collect subject's self-reported responses.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 15 through Week 24 (randomized withdrawal)

Population: Subjects were re-randomized as part of the randomized withdrawal period (Part B). Subjects were not necessarily assigned the same treatment as in the first double-blind portion (Part A). Subjects were analyzed using last observation carried forward.

The mean Key Symptom Score (KSS --from the validated, patient-administered DHAF) was the average on a 0-10 scale (0=None, 10=Very Severe) of 5 separate scales -- rash, feeling of fever/chills, joint pain, eye redness/pain, and fatigue). Subjects all received rilonacept 160 mg from week 6 through week 14. At week 15, subjects were re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio between Placebo and rilonacept 160 mg. Subjects baseline period was the 21-day period prior to week 15 randomization. A positive score indicated a worsening of symptoms versus an active treatment rilonacept baseline period.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 6 (Part A)

A Disease flare day was any day where the mean Key Symptom Score (KSS) was greater than 3. The KSS was the average on a 0-10 scale (0=None, 10=Very Severe) of 5 separate scales -- rash, feeling of fever/chills, joint pain, eye redness/pain, and fatigue). KSS was calculated for 21 Day Periods at baseline and at the endpoint (from Weeks 3 - 6). The difference in the number of flares between the two periods was averaged for all subjects. The DHAF was used because it is a validated instrument to collect subject's self-reported responses. It was the basis for the KSS and the flare day count.
