ARDA: A Clinical Trial to Investigate the Safety and Tolerability, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Immunogenicity of 2 Dose Regimens of ARGX-117 in Adults With Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 dose regimens of ARGX-117 versus placebo, in participants with MMN previously stabilized with IVIg (intravenous immunoglobulin).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety outcomes based on adverse event (AE) monitoring and other safety assessments [16 weeks]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Time to the first retreatment with IVIg since the final IVIg treatment of the IVIg monitoring period [16 weeks]
- Difference between the time to the first retreatment with IVIg (cycle) and the second time to retreatment with IVIg [16 weeks]
- AUC (area under curve) of the change from baseline in mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-10 sum score [16 weeks]
- Change from baseline in the 2 most important muscle groups as assessed by the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]
- Value baseline in the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]
- Change from baseline in the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]
- Proportion of participants showing a deterioration of 1 or more points in at least 2 muscle groups as assessed by the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]
- Proportion of participants with no deterioration in 2 or more muscle groups as assessed by mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]
- AUC (area under curve) of the change from baseline in GS (grip strength) [16 weeks]
- Proportion of participants with a GS (grip strength) decrease of 8 kilopascal (kPa) or more over 3 consecutive days [16 weeks]
- Values baseline in GS (grip strength) [16 weeks]
The baseline for the grip strength is a 3-day moving average per hand, measured as an average of 3 contractions daily, each lasting 3 seconds. Measurement of GS will be done using the Martin vigorimeter in kPa.
- Change from baseline in GS (grip strength) [16 weeks]
The baseline for the grip strength is a 3-day moving average per hand, measured as an average of 3 contractions daily, each lasting 3 seconds. Measurement of GS will be done using the Martin vigorimeter in kPa.
- Percent change from baseline in GS (grip strength) [16 weeks]
The baseline for the grip strength is a 3-day moving average per hand, measured as an average of 3 contractions daily, each lasting 3 seconds. Measurement of GS will be done using the Martin vigorimeter in kPa.
- Values baseline in the Rasch-built overall disability scale for MMN (MMN-RODS©) [16 weeks]
- Change from baseline in the Rasch-built overall disability scale for MMN (MMN-RODS©) [16 weeks]
- Values baseline in upper extremity (arm and hand) function (9-Hole Peg Test [9-HPT], or timed Peg Board Test) [16 weeks]
- Change from baseline in upper extremity (arm and hand) function (9-Hole Peg Test [9-HPT], or timed Peg Board Test) [16 weeks]
- Serum titer levels of binding antibodies (BAbs) against ARGX-117 [16 weeks]
- Change from baseline in free C2, total C2, functional complement activity (CH50) [16 weeks]
- Values baseline in free C2, total C2, functional complement activity (CH50) [16 weeks]
- Area Under The Curve (AUC) [16 weeks]
- Maximum serum concentrations (Cmax) [16 weeks]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Capable of giving signed informed consent form (ICF)
-
Male/female at least 18 years of age at the time the informed consent form (ICF) is signed
-
Probable or definite MMN according to the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS)/Peripheral Nerve Society (PNS) (EFNS/PNS) 2010 guidelines at screening confirmed by the MMN Confirmation Committee (MCC)
-
Receiving a stable IVIg regimen before screening
-
IVIg treatment dependency confirmation by the MMN Confirmation Committee (MCC)
-
Immunization with the first meningococcal vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine, and the single Haemophilus influenza type B vaccine must be performed at least 14 days before IMP administration at V1 according to local country-specific immunization schedules. A documented history of vaccination against Neisseria meningitides, Haemophilus influenza type B, and streptococcus pneumonia will be permitted
-
Contraceptive use by men and women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Any coexisting condition which may interfere with the outcome assessments
-
Clinical signs or symptoms suggestive for neuropathies other than MMN such as motor neuron disease or other inflammatory neuropathies
-
Severe psychiatric disorder, history of suicide attempt, or current suicidal ideation that in the opinion of the investigator could create undue risk to the participant or could affect adherence with the trial protocol.
-
Clinically significant uncontrolled active or chronic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection during the screening and/or IVIg monitoring period (IVMP).
-
Any other known autoimmune disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with an accurate assessment of clinical symptoms of MMN or put the participant at undue risk (eg, SLE).
-
History of malignancy unless resolved by adequate treatment with no evidence of recurrence for ≥3 years before the first administration of the IMP. Participants with the following carcinomas will be eligible:
-
Adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer
-
Carcinoma in situ of the cervix
-
Carcinoma in situ of the breast
-
Incidental histological finding of prostate cancer
-
Clinical evidence of other significant serious diseases, have had a recent major surgery (including a splenectomy at any time), or who have any other condition in the opinion of the investigator, that could confound the results of the trial or put the participant at undue risk
-
Prior/concomitant therapy
-
Cyclophosphamide and/or rituximab and/or eculizumab and/or mycophenolate mofetil within 3 months prior to screening
-
Use of an investigational product within 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first dose of the IMP.
-

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) that is indicative of an acute or chronic infection
-
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) based on HCV antibody assay
