Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sirolimus in Previously Treated Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease (NCT NCT03933904)

NCT ID: NCT03933904

Last Updated: 2025-08-08

Results Overview

Clinical Benefit Response (CBR): The CBR was defined by improvements in clinical symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, fever, and night sweats.6 Laboratory markers such as hemoglobin levels and weight change were also included in the CBR criteria (Table 1). A CBR was considered positive if there was at least a 25% reduction in the size of the largest lymph node (measured by modified Cheson criteria), a significant improvement in at least one laboratory marker (e.g., hemoglobin), and improvement in at least one clinical symptom without worsening of others.

Participant Flow

Recruitment started 9/25/2019 and continued until 6/30/2024. Potential participants were informed about the study through various channels, including communication and fliers from licensed site investigators during routine clinical visits. Individuals who previously consented to be contacted for future research were reached by email or phone. Additional outreach was conducted through tools like Epic as well as through the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network (CDCN).

Before assignment, participants underwent several steps to confirm eligibility. This included a washout period from any systemic therapies used to treat iMCD, as well as various laboratory tests to ensure they were healthy enough to participate and did not have any uncontrolled infections or conditions that could mimic iMCD.

Sirolimus
For adults, the treatment began with a loading dose of 5 mg/m² on Day 1, designed to quickly achieve therapeutic levels of sirolimus. This loading dose was rounded to the nearest milligram and could be adjusted at the discretion of the prescribing physician based on individual tolerability and clinical judgment.

The CHAP scale consists of C-reactive protein (CRP), hemoglobin, albumin, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score, each with a subscale range of 0-4. Each criterion in the CHAP scoring system provides a graded measure for a patient's disease activity. The sum of the four scores provides an objective scale for measuring a patient's disease activity and monitoring how it changes over time (scale range 0-16). A higher score indicates greater disease activity.

MCD-related Overall Symptom Score is measured by 34 MCD-related outcome measures. These scores addressed fatigue, weight change, night sweats, etc. The scores were evaluated and graded (as per CTCAE version 4.0, May, 2009), which was used to assess the efficacy of the study intervention. Each symptom score was measured on a numeric scale, ranging from 1 (no symptom) to 5 (very severe or disabling). Scores were combined to create a combined score per patient at each time point. Patients were then assessed as having no response, a symptomatic response, or a durable symptomatic response. A symptomatic response was defined as a ≥50% decrease in the 34-point symptom score, a durable symptomatic response is a ≥50% decrease in the 34-point symptom score from baseline that was maintained for a minimum of 18 weeks.

Radiological response was assessed using the modified Cheson criteria, which quantify changes in lymph node size. A lymph node response was defined as a 25% reduction in bi-dimensional measurements of the largest lymph node compared to baseline. Patients were then assessed according to the following responses: Complete Response: All index lesion(s) must have regressed to normal size (≤1.0 cm in their greatest transverse diameter. No new sites of lymphadenopathy \>1.5 cm in longest dimension. Partial Response: ≥50% decrease in sum of the products of the greatest diameters (SPD) of index lesion(s), and no new sites of lymphadenopathy \>1.5 cm in longest dimension. Stable Disease: Failure to achieve a CR or PR (see above) without evidence of progressive disease. Progressive Disease: ≥50% increase from nadir in the SPD of any index lesion, or appearance of any new sites of lymphadenopathy that measure \>1.5 cm in longest dimension during or at the end of therapy.
