Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to explore the safety, clinical effect, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of CDX-0159 (barzolvolimab) in patients with Prurigo Nodularis.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: CDX-0159
  • Drug: Normal saline
Phase 1

Detailed Description

The purpose of the study is to explore the safety, clinical effect, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of CDX-0159 (barzolvolimab) in patients with Prurigo Nodularis.

There is a screening period of up to 2 weeks, an 8-week double-blind treatment period and a 16-week follow-up period after treatment. Patients will receive one dose of CDX-0159 (barzolvolimab) or placebo.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Safety and tolerability as assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events [From Day 1 (first dose) to Day 169 (last follow-up visit)]

      Safety and tolerability of multiple dose levels of CDX-0159 as determined by drug related adverse events

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Pharmacokinetic evaluation [From Day 1 (before first dose) to Day 169 (last follow-up visit)]

      CDX-0159 serum concentrations will be measured at specified visits

    2. Clinical effect of CDX-0159 on pruritus [From Day 1 (first dose) to Day 57 (week 8)]

      The mean percent change from baseline to Week 8 in the weekly average score of worst intensity itch per a numeric rating scale. The Worst Itch-Numerical Rating Scale (WI-NRS) ranges from 0 = "no itch" to 10 ="worst imaginable itch" for their worst intensity prurigo nodularis itch in the preceding 24-hr period.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:

    3. At least 20 PN nodules with bilateral distribution on both arms and/or both legs and/or both sides of the trunk at screening.

    4. An Investigators Global Assessment (IGA) score for PN ≥ 3 at screening and Baseline (Day 1).

    5. Severe itch, defined as the mean of the daily worst itch NRS (WI-NRS) score of ≥ 7 during the 7-day period immediately prior to initiation of study treatment.

    6. Documented history of inadequate response to prescription topical medications or for whom topical medications are medically inadvisable.

    7. Willing to apply a topical moisturizer (emollient) twice daily throughout the study.

    8. Both males and females of child-bearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptives during the study and for 150 days afterwards after treatment.

    Key Exclusion Criteria:
    1. PN due to neuropathy, psychiatric disorders or medications.

    2. Unilateral lesions of prurigo (eg, only one arm affected)

    3. Active unstable pruritic skin conditions in addition to PN.

    4. Women who are pregnant or nursing.

    5. Known hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection or active COVID-19 infection

    6. Vaccination with a live vaccine within 2 months prior to study drug administration (subjects must agree to avoid vaccination during the study and for four months thereafter). NOTE: Inactivated vaccines are allowed such as seasonal influenza for injection. COVID-19 vaccination is allowed.

    7. History of anaphylaxis.

    There are additional criteria that your study doctor will review with you to confirm you are eligible for the study.
