Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the preliminary efficacy and safety of KPL-914 treatment in participants with recurrent pericarditis.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single-arm pilot study to explore clinical and biochemical endpoints of pericarditis symptomatology and to collect data to assess inter- and intra-subject variability on both at-baseline and on-treatment parameters. This study consists of 5 distinct Parts, and all participants will be treated with once-weekly subcutaneously (SC)-administered injections of KPL-914.There is an optional 18-week extension period.

Inclusion criteria

  • Has given consent (or assent, if applicable) and signed an Form (ICF) (or informed assent form, if applicable).
  • Male or female, of any ethnic origin.
  • 6 to 75 years of age, inclusive.
  • If used, has received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and/or colchicine and/or (in any combination) at stable dose levels for at least 7 days prior to study drug dosing (although stable doses for a shorter period will be acceptable if in the opinion of the Investigator, in consultation with the Sponsor, a shorter period of stability is not anticipated to alter the baseline CRP values) and is anticipated to continue these concomitant medications at these dose levels for the duration of the active Treatment Period.
  • If female of , must be nonpregnant and nonlactating and must agree to use an effective method of , e.g., hormonal contraception or double-barrier birth control.
  • Is able to adequately maintain a medication diary.
  • Agrees to refrain from making any new, major life-style changes that may affect pericarditis symptoms (e.g., starting a new diet or changing exercise pattern) from the time of signature of the ICF (or informed assent form, if applicable) to the End-of-Trial Visit.

Parts 1, 2 and 4:

Subjects eligible for Parts 1, 2 and 4 have to present during a symptomatic episode of recurrent idiopathic pericarditis (RIP; Parts 1 and 2) and post pericardiotomy syndrome (PPS; Part 4) and a history of at least one pericarditis recurrence. They can be enrolled into Part 1 or 4 if the CRP value at screening is >1 mg/dL, and into Part 2 if a CRP ≤1 mg/dL (attributed to concomitant medications e.g., corticosteroids), and there is an evidence of pericardial inflammation on cardiac MRI confirmed by the imaging core lab.

Enrollment into Part 3 and 5:

Subjects eligible for Part 3 of this study have to present with corticosteroid-dependent RIP or PPS and history of at least 2 pericarditis recurrences.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria for All Participants:

  • Has a diagnosis of pericarditis that was secondary to specific excluded etiologies, including tuberculous, neoplastic, or purulent etiologies, post-myocardial infarction (early or late), thoracic trauma, myocarditis, or systemic diseases including autoinflammatory diseases, diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.).
  • Has a history of immunodepression, including a positive test result.
  • Has received treatment within the 6-month period before dosing with any systemic (other than, for example, or mycophenolate) which, in the opinion of the Investigator (in consultation with the Sponsor), may interfere with the study endpoints.
  • Currently receiving other interleukin (IL)-1 or IL-6 blockers, Janus-activating kinase (JAK) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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.

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

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.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

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.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    KPL-914: Part 1 Participants

    Part 1 enrolls symptomatic participants with recurrent idiopathic pericarditis (RIP) with an elevated marker of systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein \[CRP\] \> 1mg/dL).

    Drug: KPL-914

  • Experimental
    KPL-914: Part 2 Participants

    Part 2 enrolls symptomatic participants with RIP with CRP ≤1 mg/dL which, in the opinion of the Investigator, can be attributed to concomitant medications (e.g., corticosteroids) and with pericardial inflammation present on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed by the imaging core lab.

    Drug: KPL-914

  • Experimental
    KPL-914: Part 3 Participants

    Part 3 enrolls participants with corticosteroid-dependent RIP not experiencing symptoms which would meet the diagnostic criteria for a flare of pericarditis.

    Drug: KPL-914

  • Experimental
    KPL-914: Part 4 Participants

    Part 4 enrolls symptomatic participants with recurrent post pericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) with an elevated marker of systemic inflammation (CRP \> 1mg/dL).

    Drug: KPL-914

  • Experimental
    KPL-914: Part 5 Participants

    Part 5 enrolls participants with corticosteroid-dependent recurrent PPS not experiencing symptoms which would meet the diagnostic criteria for a flare of pericarditis.

    Drug: KPL-914

Interventions

  • KPL-914 (rilonacept) will be provided in its commercially available formulation as a lyophilized powder to be reconstituted for SC administration. Adult participants (≥ 18 years of age) KPL-914 will be administered as an initial loading dose of 320 mg SC, delivered as 2 subcutaneous injections of 160 mg SC each on Day 0, then 160 mg SC dosed once weekly for 5 subsequent weeks. Pediatric participants (6 to \<18 years of age) KPL-914 will be administered with an initial loading dose of 4.4 mg/kg, up to a maximum of 320 mg, delivered as 2 subcutaneous injections of 2.2 mg/kg each with a maximum single-injection volume of 2 mL. Participants considered to be 'treatment responders' will be offered participation in an optional 18-week extension period (EP) in which KPL-914 can be continued for a total duration of KPL-914 treatment of up to 24 weeks.
