Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of AMG 714 for the treatment of adult participants with vitiligo.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of this trial is to determine the efficacy of interleukin-15 (IL-15) inhibition with AMG 714 at inducing facial repigmentation in vitiligo.

The secondary objectives are to:

* Evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 714 in vitiligo
* Determine the efficacy of IL-15 inhibition with AMG 714 at inducing total body skin repigmentation in vitiligo
* Assess the durability of the skin repigmentation achieved by AMG 714 in vitiligo
* Evaluate the efficacy of AMG 714 followed by narrow band UVB (nbUVB) phototherapy

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Phase 2a, double blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, proof of concept trial of AMG 714 for the treatment of vitiligo. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive AMG 714 or placebo for AMG 714. Random assignment will be stratified by active versus stable vitiligo.

AMG 714

Participants will be administered 300 mg AMG 714 beginning at Week 0 and every 2 weeks thereafter through Week 10 (for a total of 6 doses). Each dose will be administered as 2 subcutaneous injections (1.5 mL each).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AMG 714

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

anti-IL-15 monoclonal antibody (Anti-IL-15 MAB)

nbUVB phototherapy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants will undergo narrow band ultraviolet B (nbUVB) phototherapy if their total body Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) does not improve by ≥ 25% at Week 24 compared to Week 0. Phototherapy will be administered in accordance with the Vitiligo Working Group expert recommendations.

Placebo

Participants will be administered placebo as 2 subcutaneous injections (1.5 mL each) beginning at Week 0 and every 2 weeks thereafter through Week 10 (for a total of 6 doses).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Adults 18-75 years of age.
2. Clinical diagnosis of active or stable vitiligo made by a dermatologist, as defined in Protocol Section 3.4.2.
3. F-VASI ≥ 0.25 (Appendix 2 of Protocol).
4. T-VASI ≥ 3 (Appendix 2 of Protocol).
5. Willingness to:

1. Undergo nbUVB phototherapy, as outlined in Protocol Section 7.3.
2. Stop all other treatments for vitiligo from screening through the final follow up visit as outlined in Protocol Section 7.2.

Exclusion Criteria

Individuals who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for enrollment as study participants:

1. Inability or unwillingness of a participant to give written informed consent or comply with the study protocol.
2. Segmental vitiligo.
3. Contraindication to nbUVB phototherapy.
4. More than 33% leukotrichia on the face or on the total body.
5. Use of biologic immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory agents, or investigational therapy or procedure within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to Visit 0 (whichever is longer), except agents authorized for prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection according to FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).
6. Use of laser or light-based treatment (phototherapy) including tanning beds within 8 weeks prior to Visit 0.
7. Use of non-biologic systemic or topical immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory agents within 4 weeks prior to Visit 0.
8. History of melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation procedure (MKTP) or other surgical treatment for vitiligo.
9. Current or past use of the depigmenting agent monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone, including Benoquin® (Monobenzone).
10. Presence of skin conditions or lesions that would confound the vitiligo assessments.
11. Spontaneous repigmentation within 6 months prior to Visit 0 (repigmentation without any treatment and significant in amount as determined by the investigator).
12. Uncontrolled thyroid function at screening as determined by the investigator. If the participant has a history of thyroid disease and is on treatment, the participant must be on a stable thyroid regimen for at least three months prior to Visit 0.
13. Greater than 3 adequately treated nonmetastatic basal cell carcinomas (BCC) or squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) within 12 months prior to Visit 0; or previous history of multiple BCC or SCC which may pose additional risks from participation in the study in the opinion of the investigator.
14. Previous or current diagnosis of other cancer, except adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ.
15. Acute or chronic infection, including current use of suppressive therapy for chronic infection, hospitalization for treatment of infection within 90 days prior to Visit 0, or parenteral anti-microbial (including anti-bacterial, anti-viral, or anti-fungal agents) use within 90 days prior to Visit 0.
16. Evidence of infection, including:

1. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

19. Women who are pregnant or lactating.
20. Vaccination with a live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to Visit 0.
21. Known drug allergy or reaction to any component of AMG 714 (Protocol Section 6.1.1) or proteins derived from mammalian cell lines.
22. Past or current medical problems or findings from physical examination or laboratory testing, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks from participation in the study, may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements or that may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study.
23. Current, diagnosed mental illness (e.g. severe depression) or current, diagnosed or self-reported drug or alcohol abuse that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements.
