Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Assess Subcutaneous Lirentelimab (AK002) in Atopic Dermatitis (NCT NCT05155085)

NCT ID: NCT05155085

Last Updated: 2024-10-15

Results Overview

The EASI score is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic dermatitis with respect to erythema, excoriation, induration, and lichenification over the 4 anatomic regions of the body: lower and upper extremities, trunk, and head. The total EASI score will be in a range from 0 to 72 points (from no disease to maximum disease severity).

AK002 SC 300 mg (Main Study) - AK002 Continuing (OLE)
For the main study period, subjects in this arm received up to 7 doses of 300 mg of lirentelimab (AK002) administered subcutaneously (SC) every 2 weeks. For the open-label extension (OLE) period, subjects who completed the main study and met eligibility criteria had the option to receive 7 doses of 300 mg AK002 SC. AK002: Lirentelimab (AK002) is a humanized non-fucosylated immunoglobulin G1(IgG1)monoclonal antibody directed against Siglec-8
Placebo (Main Study) - Placebo Rollover (OLE)
For the main study period, subjects in this arm received up to 7 doses of placebo administered subcutaneously every 2 weeks. For the open-label extension (OLE) period, subjects who completed the main study and met the eligibility criteria had the option to rollover and receive 7 doses of 300 mg AK002 SC. Placebo: Placebo AK002: Lirentelimab (AK002) is a humanized non-fucosylated immunoglobulin G1(IgG1)monoclonal antibody directed against Siglec-8

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat Population

The Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) is a 5-point scale that provides a global clinical assessment of AD severity ranging from 0 to 4 and assesses disease severity and clinical response using a 5-point scale: 0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; and 4 = severe. The score is determined by ranking the extent of erythema and papulation/infiltration. A decrease in score relates to an improvement in signs and symptoms.
