Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomized, double-blind study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab (300 milligram [mg] administered subcutaneously [SC] every 4 weeks) compared with placebo over a 52-week study treatment period in subjects with relapsing or refractory Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) receiving standard of care therapy including background corticosteroid therapy with or without immunosuppressive therapy. During the treatment period, in accordance with standard of care, corticosteroid dose will be tapered. The key outcomes in the study focus on evaluation of clinical remission, defined as Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS)=0 with a corticosteroid dose of <=4 mg/day prednisolone/prednisone, reduction in disease relapse and reduction in corticosteroid requirement.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants in Each Category of Accrued Duration of Remission [Up to Week 52]

    Total accrued duration of remission is the accrued number of weeks where Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) =0 plus prednisolone/prednisone dose <=4 mg/day over the 52 week study treatment period was reported. The accrued duration was categorized into zero, >0 to <12 weeks, 12 to <24 weeks, 24 to <36 weeks and >=36 weeks. Statistical analysis was based on a proportional odds regression model with covariates including treatment group, Baseline prednisolone/prednisone daily dose, Baseline BVAS score and region. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population was used for the analysis and was defined as all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of trial medication. Randomized participants were assumed to have received study treatment unless definitive evidence to the contrary exists. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated probability (p)-value and 95 percent confidence interval (CI) were calculated.

  2. Number of Participants Who Are in Remission at 36 and 48 Weeks [Week 36 and Week 48]

    The number of participants who were in remission (i.e ., BVAS=0 and prednisolone /prednisone <=4 mg/day) at both Weeks 36 and 48 of the study treatment period was reported. The statistical analysis was performed using a logistic regression model on ITT Population. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated p-value and 95 percent CI were calculated.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Time to First EGPA Relapse [Up to Week 52]

    EGPA relapse was defined as worsening or persistence of active disease since the last visit characterized by active vasculitis or active asthma symptoms and/or signs with a corresponding worsening in Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6) score or active nasal and/or sinus disease, with a corresponding worsening in at least one of the sino-nasal symptom questions warranting: i) an increased dose of OCS therapy (or other systemic corticosteroid therapy) to >4 mg/day prednisolone total daily dose or equivalent; OR ii) an increased dose or addition of immunosuppressive therapy; OR iii) hospitalization related to EGPA worsening. Participants who completed study, or withdrawn prematurely from the study without experiencing the event were censored. The number of participants with at least one EGPA relapse during the planned study treatment period are presented.

  2. Number of Participants in Each Category of Average Daily Prednisolone/Prednisone Dose During the Last 4 Weeks of the Study Treatment Period. [Week 48 and Week52]

    The number of participants with an average daily prednisolone/prednisone dose during the last 4 weeks of the Study Treatment Period (48 through 52) was calculated. The average dose was categorized into zero, >0 to <=4.0mg, >4.0 to <=7.5mg and >7.5mg.

  3. Number of Participants Who Achieved Remission Within the First 24 Weeks and Remained in Remission for the Remainder of the Treatment Period [Up to Week 52]

    The number of participants who achieved remission (i.e., BVAS=0 and prednisolone/prednisone<=4 mg/day) within the first 24 weeks and remain in remission for the remainder of the study treatment period was reported. The statistical analysis was performed using a logistic regression model on ITT Population. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated p-value and 95 percent CI were calculated.

  4. Number of Participants in Each Category of Accrued Duration of Remission [Up to Week 52]

    Total accrued duration of remission, i.e., the accrued number of weeks where Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) =0 plus prednisolone/prednisone dose <=7.5mg/day over the 52 week study treatment period was reported. BVAS is a validated, clinician-completed tool used for the comprehensive multisystem clinical assessment of disease activity in systemic vasculitis. The duration was categorized into zero, >0 to <12 weeks, 12 to <24 weeks, 24 to <36 weeks and >=36 weeks. Statistical analysis was performed on ITT Population and was based on a proportional odds regression model with covariates including treatment group, Baseline prednisolone/prednisone daily dose, Baseline BVAS score and region. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated p-value and 95 percent CI were calculated.

  5. Number of Participants Who Are in Remission at 36 and 48 Weeks [Week 36 and Week 48]

    The number of participants who were in remission (i.e ., BVAS=0 and prednisolone /prednisone <=7.5mg/day) at both Weeks 36 and 48 of the study treatment period was reported. The statistical analysis was performed using a logistic regression model on ITT Population. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated p-value and 95 percent CI were calculated.

  6. Number of Participants Who Achieved Remission (BVAS=0 and Prednisolone/Prednisone <=7.5 mg/Day) Within the First 24 Weeks and Remained in Remission for the Remainder of the Treatment Period [Up to Week 52]

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Number of Participants in Each Category of Accrued Duration of Remission
Description Total accrued duration of remission is the accrued number of weeks where Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) =0 plus prednisolone/prednisone dose <=4 mg/day over the 52 week study treatment period was reported. The accrued duration was categorized into zero, >0 to <12 weeks, 12 to <24 weeks, 24 to <36 weeks and >=36 weeks. Statistical analysis was based on a proportional odds regression model with covariates including treatment group, Baseline prednisolone/prednisone daily dose, Baseline BVAS score and region. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population was used for the analysis and was defined as all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of trial medication. Randomized participants were assumed to have received study treatment unless definitive evidence to the contrary exists. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated probability (p)-value and 95 percent confidence interval (CI) were calculated.
