Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Mepolizumab is a humanized immunoglobulin G (IgG1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) that exhibits dose proportional and time-independent pharmacokinetics. The study will be conducted in 2 parts. Part A: it will be pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) study conducted to support the use of mepolizumab in children aged 6 to 11 years with severe eosinophilic asthma and characterize the PK/PD of mepolizumab 40 milligrams (mg) or 100 mg administered subcutaneously depending on participant body weight. Part B: It is a long-term safety / pharmacodynamic phase in which extended treatment for a further 52 weeks will be offered on an optional basis to those subjects eligible for continued treatment. Participants with bodyweight <40 kilogram (kg) will be dosed with mepolizumab 40 mg and participants with body weight >=40 kg will be dosed with mepolizumab 100 mg subcutaneously in upper arm or thigh at Visit 2 (Week 0). Approximately 40 male or female participants aged 6 to 11 years will be screened to achieve approximately 28 eligible participants entering the treatment phase to allow availability of 20 evaluable participants, with a minimum of six participants enrolled in the <40 kg bodyweight group. The total duration of the study will be 22 weeks and will include a run-in period of 1-2 weeks, a treatment period of 12 weeks and a follow-up phase of 8 weeks. A participant will be considered having completed the study if the participant completes all phases of the study including the follow-up phase (Week 20 [visit 8]).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Body Weight-adjusted Apparent Clearance of Mepolizumab for Part A [Pre-dose on Weeks 4 and 8; Weeks 9, 12, 16 and 20 post-dose]

    PK samples were collected at pre-dose on Weeks 4 and 8; and at Weeks 9, 12, 16 and 20 post-dose. The body weight-adjusted apparent clearance was compared between adults and participants aged 6 to 11 years old with severe eosinophilic asthma when mepolizumab was administered subcutaneously. Point estimate and 90% confidence interval (CI) for participants aged 6 to 11 years (centered to a mean bodyweight of 70 kg) was compared with the historic adult estimated body-weight adjusted clearance of 0.22 L/day, around which a proposed 80-125% interval was applied i.e. 0.18-0.28 L/day. Assuming an absolute bioavailability of 75% this corresponds to an apparent clearance of 0.29 L/day with the proposed 80% to 125% interval of 0.23 to 0.36 L/day. Note the average bodyweight of 70kg (mean body weight observed in adults) was not observed in the study.

Title Number of Participants With Any Time Change From Baseline Relative to Normal Range in Clinical Chemistry Parameters for Part B
Description Blood samples were collected for analysis of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), albumin, protein, bilirubin, creatinine, urate, direct bilirubin, calcium, carbon dioxide (CO2), chloride, glucose, potassium, sodium and urea. Baseline was defined as the latest value recorded prior to the first dose of mepolizumab in Part A. Change from Baseline was defined as value at indicated time point minus Baseline value. All Part B visits (scheduled and unscheduled) post-Baseline were considered for Any-time Post-Baseline visit derivation. If participant had at least one value for categories "To Low" and/or "To High" along with "To Normal or No Change" then participant was counted under "To Low" and/or "To High". If participant had values which belong only to "To Normal or No Change" then participant was counted under "To Normal or No Change" only. Any Time Post-Baseline values have been presented.

Prior to administration, each vial of mepolizumab were reconstituted and swirled gently to enable complete dissolution of the product. On investigator discretion, injected volume was split between two injection sites and was given as 2 injections of 0.5 mL each if required. Participants received either 0.4 mL or 1.0 mL of reconstituted mepolizumab depending upon the bodyweight, administered subcutaneously every four weeks, in upper arm or thigh directly from the investigator or designee, under medical supervision. Prior to administration, each vial of mepolizumab were reconstituted and swirled gently to enable complete dissolution of the product. Participants enrolled to <40 kg at Visit 9 (Week 20) were summarized in the 40/100 mg SC group if they had weight >=40 kg at any subsequent visit.

Title Body Weight-adjusted Apparent Clearance of Mepolizumab for Part A
Description PK samples were collected at pre-dose on Weeks 4 and 8; and at Weeks 9, 12, 16 and 20 post-dose. The body weight-adjusted apparent clearance was compared between adults and participants aged 6 to 11 years old with severe eosinophilic asthma when mepolizumab was administered subcutaneously. Point estimate and 90% confidence interval (CI) for participants aged 6 to 11 years (centered to a mean bodyweight of 70 kg) was compared with the historic adult estimated body-weight adjusted clearance of 0.22 L/day, around which a proposed 80-125% interval was applied i.e. 0.18-0.28 L/day. Assuming an absolute bioavailability of 75% this corresponds to an apparent clearance of 0.29 L/day with the proposed 80% to 125% interval of 0.23 to 0.36 L/day. Note the average bodyweight of 70kg (mean body weight observed in adults) was not observed in the study.

Title Change From Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire-7 (ACQ-7) at Week 12 in Part A
Description ACQ-7 is a simple questionnaire to measure the adequacy of asthma control and change in asthma control which occurs either spontaneously or a result of treatment. The ACQ-7 uses a 7-point scale (0=no impairment, 6= maximum impairment for symptoms and rescue use; and 7 = category for forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1]%). The instrument has a reported high test-retest reproducibility with an intraclass correlation coefficient =0.90. The minimally important change in score is 0.5. Baseline was defined as the latest value recorded prior to the first dose of mepolizumab. Change from Baseline was calculated as score obtained at Week 12 minus Baseline Score. Pharmacodynamic Outcome (PDo) Population included all participants who received at least one dose of mepolizumab beginning at Visit 2 and having at least one Part A assessment of pharmacodynamic outcomes.

The C-ACT is a 7-question, 2-part questionnaire, with items 1 to 4 were completed by the child (with assistance from a caregiver, as needed) and items 5 to 7 were completed by the caregiver. A total sum score based upon responses to all items was calculated to provide an overall measure of asthma control. The derived C-ACT score ranges from 0 (maximum impairment) to 27 (no impairment), where higher scores represent a better outcome. Baseline was defined as the latest value recorded prior to the first dose of mepolizumab. Change from Baseline was calculated as score obtained at Week 12 minus Baseline Score.

Title Ratio to Baseline in Absolute Blood Eosinophil Count at Weeks 32, 44, 56, 68, 72 and 80 for Part B
Description Blood samples were collected at the indicated time points for the analysis of eosinophil count. Baseline was defined as the latest value recorded prior to the first dose of mepolizumab in Part A. Ratio to Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value/Baseline value. The analysis was based on Pharmacodynamic (Blood Eosinophils) (PDe) Population comprised of all participants receiving at least one dose of mepolizumab beginning at Visit 9 and having at least one Part B blood sample taken for blood eosinophil count. Only those participants with data available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles).

Arm/Group Title Part B: Mepolizumab 40 mg SC Part B: Mepolizumab 100 mg SC Part B: Mepolizumab 40/100 mg SC
Arm/Group Description Participants with bodyweight < 40 kg received 0.4 mL of reconstituted mepolizumab subcutaneously every four weeks, in upper arm or thigh directly from the investigator or designee, under medical supervision. Prior to administration, each vial of mepolizumab were reconstituted and swirled gently to enable complete dissolution of the product. Participants with bodyweight >= 40 kg received 1.0 mL of reconstituted mepolizumab subcutaneously every four weeks, in upper arm or thigh directly from the investigator or designee, under medical supervision. Prior to administration, each vial of mepolizumab were reconstituted and swirled gently to enable complete dissolution of the product. On investigator discretion, injected volume was split between two injection sites and was given as 2 injections of 0.5 mL each if required. Participants received either 0.4 mL or 1.0 mL of reconstituted mepolizumab depending upon the bodyweight, administered subcutaneously every four weeks, in upper arm or thigh directly from the investigator or designee, under medical supervision. Prior to administration, each vial of mepolizumab were reconstituted and swirled gently to enable complete dissolution of the product. Participants enrolled to <40 kg at Visit 9 (Week 20) were summarized in the 40/100 mg SC group if they had weight >=40 kg at any subsequent visit.
