Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To provide early access (ie, before marketing authorisation) to anifrolumab 300 mg IV Q4W while receiving standard therapy in adult patients with moderate-to-severe active SLE
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
Detailed Description
This is a multi-centre, open-label, early access program (EAP) designed to provide treatment access to intravenous (IV) treatment regimen of 300 mg anifrolumab (MEDI-546) every 4 weeks (Q4W) for eligible patients with moderate-to-severe active SLE while receiving standard therapy. Anifrolumab will be provided free of charge to the patients entering this program.This global EAP will be opened in a sequential fashion, country by country, based on the requesting Treating Physician(s) and local regulations

Primary Outcome Measures
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Population A:
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Received anifrolumab or placebo in the long-term extension study, D3461C00009, and are within 12 weeks of Week 164 (follow-up visit 2).
-
Provided written informed consent before any program-related procedures are performed.
-
Adequate peripheral venous access.
-
Females of childbearing potential must use two effective methods of avoiding pregnancy, only one of which is a barrier method, from screening until 12 weeks after final dose of anifrolumab, unless the patient is surgically sterile (eg, bilateral oophorectomy or complete hysterectomy), has a sterile male partner, is at least 1 year ostmenopausal, or practises sustained abstinence consistent with the patient's customary lifestyle. Postmenopausal is defined as at least 1 year since last menses and the patient has an elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level greater than the local laboratory value of post-menopausal at screening - as detailed in Section 5.4.3.
-
All males (sterilised or non-sterilised) who are sexually active must use a condom (with spermicide where commercially available) from Day 1 (first dose of anifrolumab) until at least 12 weeks after receiving the final dose of anifrolumab. It is strongly recommended that the female partner of a male patient also uses an effective method of contraception (other than a barrier method) throughout this period. Male patients must not donate sperm while taking part in the EAP and for 12 weeks after their last dose of anifrolumab - see Section 5.4.3 for further details.
-
Females with an intact cervix must have a documented normal Pap smear without documented malignancy (eg, no signs of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia [CIN] grade III, carcinoma in situ [CIS] or adenocarcinoma in situ [AIS]) within 2 years of entering this EAP and receiving anifrolumab. Any abnormal Pap smear result documented within 2 years before receiving anifrolumab must be repeated to confirm patient eligibility.
-
COVID-19: Any negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result (central laboratory) at screening and no known or suspected COVID-19 exposure within 2 weeks prior to screening. If there is a known or suspected exposure, a patient must be negative upon retest obtained after 2 weeks and must remain asymptomatic for inclusion in the study. Note: Patients positive at screening may be re-screened after 3 months provided there has been no development of severe COVID-19 disease or sequalae.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Discontinued anifrolumab or placebo, for any reason including an AE, before completing Year 3 of the treatment period for study 09 or study 1145.
-
Major medical event, such as cerebrovascular accident (CVA), myocardial infarction (MI), malignancy, opportunistic infection, suicide attempt, or that, in the opinion of the Treating Physician, would interfere with patient safety.
-
Any other condition that, in the opinion of the Treating Physician, would interfere with patient safety.
-
Active severe or unstable neuropsychiatric SLE where, in the opinion of the Treating Physician, protocol-specified standard therapy is insufficient and utilisation of a more aggressive therapeutic approach, such as adding IV cyclophosphamide and/or high dose IV pulse corticosteroid therapy or other treatments not permitted in the protocol, is indicated.
-
Active severe SLE-driven renal disease where, in the opinion of the Treating. Physician or delegate, protocol-specified standard therapy is insufficient and utilisation of a more aggressive therapeutic approach, such as adding IV cyclophosphamide and/or high dose IV pulse corticosteroid therapy or other treatments not permitted in the protocol, is indicated.
-

-
Received any investigational product (small molecule or biologic agent) within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is greater) before signing the ICF (see Appendix D).
-

-
Received B-cell-depleting therapy (including, but not limited to: ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, atacicept, obinutuzumab, rituximab) within 26 weeks before signing the ICF; within 40 weeks for atacicept (see Appendix D) or if therapy was administered 26 weeks or more ago (40 weeks for atacicept), absolute B-cell count should not be less than the lower limit of normal (LLN) or baseline (whichever is lower) before receipt of B-cell-depleting therapy.

-
Known history of allergy or reaction to any component of anifrolumab or history of anaphylaxis to any human gamma globulin therapy.
