Brief Summary

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

This study aims to examine the efficacy and safety of obexelimab in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis

Detailed Description

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

The study consists of a Screening Period (Day -28 to Day -1), a 24-week treatment period (Part A and Part B), a 52 week open label extension and an expected 12-week Follow-up Period. Patients with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis will be randomized in 2:1 ratio to obexelimab or placebo. Randomization will be stratified by Gd lesion status at screening (≥ 1 vs 0).

Part A is the 12-week Randomized Placebo-Controlled Period (RCP), during which obexelimab or placebo will be administered as weekly subcutaneous (SC) injections. Following Part A, all patients will enter the Part B, a 12-week Open-Label Period (OLP), during which all patients will receive obexelimab administered as weekly SC injections. After Part B, patients will enter Part C, a 52-week Open-Label Extension (OLE), after which they will return for an in-clinic Safety Follow-Up Visit 12 weeks after the completion of Part C (i.e. Week 88). If at this time, B cells have not returned to baseline or above the lower limit of normal (LLN), patients will be asked to return every 12 weeks until B cells return to baseline or above the LLN (at minimum). The maximum expected duration of the study is 92 weeks (Screening Period = 4 weeks, Parts A, B and C = 76 weeks, Follow-up Period = 12 weeks).

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of obexelimab in patients with RMS. The study consists of a Screening Period (Day 28 to Day -1), followed by a 24-week Treatment Period (Part A or RCP consists of 12 doses of obexelimab or placebo; Part B or OLP consists of 12 doses of open-label obexelimab), a 52-week OLE and an expected 12-week Follow-up Period.

Obexelimab

Obexelimab will be administered as a subcutaneous injection for 76 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Obexelimab

Intervention Type DRUG

Obexelimab is a monoclonal antibody that simultaneously binds CD19 and FcyRIIb, resulting in down regulation of B cell activity

Placebo

Placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection for 12 weeks
