Study summary

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare, chronic, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder that is characterized by mucocutaneous blisters. Ofatumumab is a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb) that specifically binds to the human CD20 antigen, which is expressed only in B lymphocytes.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of ofatumumab injection for subcutaneous use (ofatumumab SC) 20 milligrams (mg) administered once in every 4 weeks, (with an additional 20 mg loading dose [i.e. 40 mg total] at both Week 0 and Week 4) in subjects with PV. It was anticipated that with sustained B-cell depletion in the presence of ofatumumab SC, and the resultant reduction of pathogenic anti Dsg (desmoglein) autoantibodies in PV, that clinical remission of the disease would result.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults (18 through 70 years of age) with clinically-documented diagnosis of PV for >2 months and \<10 years.
  • History of consistent with PV (Hematoxylin and Eosin staining and direct immunofluorescence). If no history, a biopsy may be performed during the Screening Period.
  • At least 1 previous episode of a failed taper (ie, disease flare/relapse) at a prednisone/prednisolone dose >10 mg/day. The following criteria must have been met as evidence of disease severity at the time of the failed steroid taper: a) A Pemphigus Severity of Clinical Disease score of moderate (2) or severe (3) (may be historical/retrospective assessment). b) Required a treatment change at the time of the failed steroid taper of at least one of the following: i) A steroid increase to >=20 mg/day OR ii) The addition of /immunomodulatory agent/treatment OR iii) A dose increase of immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory agent/treatment
  • Screening anti-Dsg antibodies consistent with a diagnosis of PV (ie, elevated antiDsg3 antibodies).
  • Has initiated and received a stable dose of prednisone/prednisolone from a minimum of 20 mg/day (example: 0.25 mg/kg/day for an 80 kg person) up to a maximum of 120 mg/day or 1.5 mg/kg/day (whichever is higher) for >=2 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Has exhibited PV disease control, defined as no new lesions for >=2 weeks.
  • A female subject is eligible to enter the study if she: Is of non-child bearing potential, who is either surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or post-hysterectomy) or is without menses for >2 years. Women who are \<2 years postmenopausal are required to have menopausal status confirmed by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol levels at the screening evaluation. If FSH and estradiol levels do not provide confirmation of menopause, subject will be considered to be of .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of pemphigus foliaceus, paraneoplastic pemphigus, or other blistering disease (other than pemphigus vulgaris).
  • Past or current history of to components of the product or medically significant adverse effects (including allergic reactions) from cetirizine (or antihistamine equivalent) or paracetamol/acetaminophen.
  • Prior treatment with rituximab without achieving disease control within 6 months of initiating rituximab dosing.

  • Significant concurrent, uncontrolled medical condition that could affect the subject's safety, impair the subject's reliable participation in the study, impair the evaluation of endpoints, or necessitate the use of medication not allowed by the protocol. This includes subjects who require any systemic treatment for a concurrent medical condition (other than pemphigus vulgaris).
  • Use of an investigational drug or other experimental therapy within 4 weeks, 5 pharmacokinetic half-lives, or the duration of biological effect (whichever is longer) prior to Screening.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 6, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
