Nipocalimab in Moderate to Severe Sjögren's Syndrome (DAFFODIL)
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
Sjögren's syndrome (SJD) is a chronic (long-term), progressive autoimmune disease (the body's immune system attacks normal tissue), in which circulating immunoglobulin (IgG) autoantibodies activate the immune system, including B cells (a type of white blood cell known as lymphocytes). This leads to vascular damage and local destruction of the exocrine glands (glands that produce and secrete saliva, tears, etc.). This results in dry mouth, dry eyes, and vaginal dryness. SJD can also cause fatigue, pain, and problems with the skin, muscles, and internal organs (e.g., lungs, kidneys, brain, nerves). Currently approved treatments only alleviate the symptoms of dryness. Guidelines recommend broad-spectrum immunosuppressive therapy (treatment that reduces the activity of the body's immune system) for individuals with moderate to severe SJD. Nipocalimab (JNJ-80202135) is a monoclonal antibody* that selectively blocks the IgG binding site of the endogenous neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). This leads to a reduction in circulating IgG concentration and thus a decrease in the inflammatory immune response to harmful IgG molecules in the body. *A type of protein designed to recognize and bind to a specific target. In this study, researchers want to investigate how well Nipocalimab works in participants with moderate to severe SJD compared to placebo. The study includes the following periods: screening phase (6 weeks), double-blind treatment phase (48 weeks), open-label long-term extension phase (96 weeks), and safety follow-up (6 weeks). The total duration of the study is approximately three years.

Intervento studiato
Participants will receive Nipocalimab subcutaneously (SC) or placebo along with standard treatments. At the week 48 visit, eligible participants from both studies will have the opportunity to participate in an open-label long-term extension phase (OLE). In this phase, they will receive Nipocalimab until week 143 or until the study intervention is discontinued and until they exit the study.

Malattie studiate
Sjögren's Syndrome
(BASEC)
• Stable health status based on physical examination, medical history, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) at screening • Meets the diagnostic criteria for SJD according to the ACR/EULAR classification (American College of Rheumatology / European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology) from 2016 • Seropositive for anti-Ro/SSA antibodies (Ro60 and/or Ro52) at screening • ClinESSDAI total score greater than or equal to (≥) 5 at screening • Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test (Beta-hCG) at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test prior to randomization at week 0. (BASEC)
Criteri di esclusione
• History of severe, progressive, and/or uncontrolled liver, gastrointestinal, kidney, lung, cardiovascular, psychiatric, neurological, musculoskeletal, or hypertensive diseases and/or other medical or uncontrolled autoimmune diseases or clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory tests • Known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to Nipocalimab or its excipients or the excipients used in the placebo formulation • Presence of a confirmed or suspected clinical immunodeficiency syndrome unrelated to the treatment of SJD, or a family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiencies • Previous reactions to therapeutic proteins (monoclonal antibodies, intravenous immunoglobulins, etc.) with severe immediate hypersensitivity, e.g., anaphylactic shock. • Unstable or progressive manifestation of SJD likely requiring therapeutic escalation beyond the approved baseline medications.
