Study summary

This was a multi-center, single treatment-group, open-label study to provide sutimlimab to the adult participants with cold agglutinin disease (CAD) who had completed the CARDINAL (NCT number: NCT03347396) or CADENZA (NCT number: NCT03347422) studies and benefitted from sutimlimab treatment in Japan.

  • Study and treatment duration: the period between the participant's completion of the CARDINAL and CADENZA studies and sutimlimab or other appropriate CAD therapy becoming commercially available to participants in Japan.
Read the detailed description

The period between screening/baseline visit (upon the participant's completion* of the CARDINAL and CADENZA studies) and end of treatment with sutimlimab in this study was determined by sutimlimab or other appropriate CAD therapy becoming commercially available to participants in Japan.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study intervention and did not necessarily had to have a causal relationship with the treatment. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/ incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, suspected transmission of any infectious agent via an authorized medicinal product, was a medically important event. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the treatment-emergent period (from first dose of study intervention up to 9 weeks after the last dose of study intervention in the current study).

    Time frame: From first dose of study intervention up to 9 weeks after the last dose of study intervention (maximum duration: 49 weeks)

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study intervention and did not necessarily had to have a causal relationship with the treatment. AESIs were AE (serious or non-serious) of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's product or program, for which ongoing monitoring and immediate notification by the investigator to the Sponsor was required.

    Time frame: From first dose of study intervention up to 9 weeks after the last dose of study intervention (maximum duration: 49 weeks)
