Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sutimlimab (BIVV009) for the Adult Participants With Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD) Who Have Completed Phase 3 Studies (CARDINAL or CADENZA) in Japan (NCT NCT05132127)

NCT ID: NCT05132127

Last Updated: 2025-09-15

Results Overview

An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study intervention and did not necessarily had to have a causal relationship with the treatment. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/ incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, suspected transmission of any infectious agent via an authorized medicinal product, was a medically important event. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the treatment-emergent period (from first dose of study intervention up to 9 weeks after the last dose of study intervention in the current study).

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 5 active sites in Japan. A total of 7 participants were enrolled from 11 November 2021 to 07 December 2021. Participants with cold agglutinin disease (CAD) and who had completed Part B of CARDINAL (NCT03347396) or CADENZA (NCT03347422) study and benefitted from sutimlimab treatment were enrolled in the current study.

Per protocol, enrolled participants were planned to receive sutimlimab based on their baseline body weight as: 6.5 grams for baseline body weight of greater than or equal to (\>=) 39 kilograms (kg) to less than (\<) 75 kg or 7.5 grams for baseline body weight of \>= 75 kg. As no participant had a Baseline body weight \>= 75 kg, per the study protocol, 7.5 grams dose was not administered.
