A Study to Learn About the Study Medicine (PF-06823859) in Adults With Active CLE or SLE With Skin Symptoms.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects, safety and how PF-06823859 is processed in adults with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) showing some skin symptoms.
This study is seeking for participants who:
-
are adults of 18 years of age or older.
-
are confirmed to have CLE or SLE with some symptoms of the skin.
-
have a cutaneous LE disease area and severity index activity (CLASI-A) score at least 8.
About 48 participants will be selected to receive active study medicine (PF-06823859) or placebo (an infusion without drug). About 32 are grouped to receive the active study medicine and 16 are to receive placebo. They will be receiving the treatments by intravenous infusion (injected directly into the veins).
At week 16, participants receiving the active study medicine and non-clinical responders from placebo will receive the active study medicine. The placebo clinical responders will continue to receive placebo till Week 40. All participants will have last follow-up visit at Week 60.
The study will compare participants receiving PF-06823859 to participants who receive placebo. This will help us see if PF-06823859 is safe and effective to treat CLE or SLE and improve the CLASI-A score. Participants will take part in this study for about 65 weeks. This includes up to a 5-week selection period, a 12-week start of treatment period, a 36-week long term extension treatment period, and a 12-week follow-up period.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline in type 1 IFN GS score in lesional skin at Week 12 [Week 12]
A 13-gene IFN gene signature score was used to measure IFN activity at both baseline and week 12, the gene signature score is assessed per sample by averaging the log2CPM(Counts Per Million reads) values of these 13 genes through RNAseq profiling. The gene signature score is positively linked to the gene expression activity of those 13 genes that are related to IFN.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Percent change from baseline in CLASI-A score at Week 12 [Week 12]
The Cutaneous Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) is a clinician rated scale composed of 56 items designed to assess the disease activity and damage in CLE in adults. The disease activity (CLASI-A) sub-score ranges from 0 to 70: 0-9 indicating mild disease, 10-20 indicating moderate disease, and 21-70 indicating severe disease.
- Percent change from baseline in CLASI-A (over time in addition to Week 12) [Week 4 and Week 8]
Percent Change from Baseline in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index Activity (CLASI-A) Score to Week 4 and Week 8
- Change from baseline in CLASI-A score at Week 12 [Week 4, 8, and 12]
Change from Baseline in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index Activity (CLASI-A) Score to Week 4, 8 and 12
- Achieving ≥50%, 4 or 7 points reduction in CLASI-A (over time) [Week 4, 8, 12]
Achieving ≥50%, 4 or 7 points reduction in CLASI-A at Week 4, 8 and 12
- Change from baseline in Physician global assessment (PhGA) (over time) [Week 4, 8 and 12]
The PhGA is a visual analog scale (VAS) tool to measure worsening in the participant general health status. Physician will place a mark on the scale between 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2(moderate) and 3 (severe).
- Incidence and severity of laboratory, vital signs, 12-lead ECG abnormalities, AEs, SAEs and withdrawals due to AEs over time [Week 12]
