Trial Outcomes & Findings for Polyclonal Regulatory T Cells (PolyTregs) for Pemphigus (NCT NCT03239470)

NCT ID: NCT03239470

Last Updated: 2024-02-15

Results Overview

Number of significant adverse events, defined as any related National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 Grade 3 or higher adverse event or any related serious adverse event (SAE). Related is defined as being possibly related or related to the ex vivo expanded autologous PolyTregs, as determined by the safety review committee. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose\* results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant. \*Polyclonal Tregs: Ex Vivo Expanded Autologous CD4+CD127lo/-CD25+ Polyclonal Regulatory T Cells.

Number of all serious adverse events, defined as adverse events that result in the following outcomes (21 CFR 312.32(a) and ICH E2A): 1. Death 2. A life-threatening event: An AE or SAR is considered "life-threatening" if, in the view of either the investigator or DAIT, NIAID, its occurrence places the subject at immediate risk of death. It does not include an AE or SAR that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death. 3. Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 4. Persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions 5. Congenital anomaly or birth defect 6. Important medical event that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, it may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

The PDAI consists of a total activity score and a total damage score. The total activity score is a sum of the activity scores for skin, scalp and mucous membrane. The total activity score can range from 0 to 250. The total damage score is a sum of damage scores for skin and scalp. The total damage score can range from 0 to 13. Higher scores represent higher disease activity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 1, 2, 8, 12, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 130, and 156

Population: Participants donated peripheral blood to be processed in a lab that expanded the T cells (Tregs) to a target of 1 x 10\^8 PolyTregs/mL. After two weeks, the participant was infused with their own expanded Tregs.

Autoantibodies were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA). Blood samples were taken from participants at baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 8, 12, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 130, and 156. If the desmoglein 1 or desmoglein 3 titer was below the limit of detection, the lower limit of detection at the central lab was imputed. The lower limit of detection for both desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 was 2.5 U/mL. Change was calculated as the post-baseline value minus the baseline value. A positive difference reflects an increase in the desmoglein titer value over time; a negative difference reflects a decreased desmoglein titer over time.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From the start of investigational product infusion through Week 156.

Population: Participants donated peripheral blood to be processed in a lab that expanded the T cells (Tregs) to a target of 1 x 10\^8 PolyTregs/mL. After two weeks, the participant was infused with their own expanded Tregs.

Pemphigus relapses/flares were assessed using the consensus definition of 3 or more new lesions a month that do not heal spontaneously within 1 week or by the extension of established lesions in a patient who has achieved disease control.
