Conditions

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)

Brief summary

The study participants are patients which have been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and are planned to receive treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). IVIg is a standard of care treatment for GBS patients. The patients in this study will be treated with the study medicine imlifidase on day 1, and with IVIg on days 3-7. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of imlifidase in patients diagnosed with GBS.

Detailed description

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-centre, phase II study of imlifidase in combination with standard care IVIg in patients with GBS. The study will recruit approximately 30 patients who are eligible for IVIg treatment based on current practice (i.e. GBS disability score \>3 and within 10 days of onset of weakness). All patients will receive imlifidase (Day 1) prior to standard care IVIg. There is growing body of evidence suggesting that GBS is an antibody-mediated disorder. In addition to supportive care, IVIg and Plasma Exchange (PE) are the two main immunological treatment options aimed at attenuating the autoreactive humoral immune response. Imlifidase is an IgG degrading enzyme with strict specificity. The hypothesis is that reduction of pathological antibodies may result in aborted progression, quicker recovery and less severe disease.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient's Health State Over Time as Assessed by EQ VASDay 8, Day 15, Day 29, Day 57, Day 92, Day 180, and Day 360Quality of Life will be assessed using the EurQol group's EurQol - 5 dimension (EQ-5D) Health questionnaire. The EQ-5D consists of 2 parts: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical scale, where score 100 is 'The best health you can imagine' and score 0 is the 'The worst health you can imagine'.
Proportion of Patients Who Are Able to Run Over Time (GBS DS≤1)Baseline to Day 360Efficacy is assessed as proportion of patients able to run (i.e. Guillain Barré Syndrome disability score \[GBS DS\] ≤1) over time
Mean MRC Sum Score Over TimeBaseline until Day 180Efficacy is assessed as Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score over time. The MRC sum score is widely used to assess the motor impairment in subjects with peripheral neuropathies. It is a sum score of power in 6 muscle groups on each side (abduction of arm, flexion of forearm, extension of the wrist, hip flexion, and extension of knee and dorsal flexion of the foot). The sum of these scores ranges from 0 (total paralysis) to 60 (normal power). It provides valuable information about the muscle strength. Change in MRC sum score helps in identification of GBS patients with treatment related fluctuation or exacerbation. The individual MRC grades are defined as follows: 0=No visible contraction,1=Visible contraction without movement of the limb, 2=Movement of the limb but not against gravity, 3=Movement against gravity (almost full range), 4=Movement against gravity and resistance, 5=Normal

Mean R-ODS Over TimeBaseline to Day 360The patients have rated their ability to perform different common activities using the Rasch-built overall disability score (R-ODS) questionnaire. R-ODS is a linearly weighted disease specific scale, which captures activities and social participation limitation in patients with immune-mediated neuropathies, including GBS. The questionnaire comprises 24 items ranging from ability to read a book or newspaper (as the easiest item to accomplish) to ability to run (most difficult item to accomplish). The response options for each item are: 0=Not possible, 1=Possible with effort, 2=Easy to perform. The obtained raw summed score is subsequently translated to a centile metric ranging from 0 (most severe disability) to 100 (no disability at all).

Pharmacodynamics - IgG Level in Serum Over TimeWithin 2 hours before imlifidase dose until Day 15The pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of imlifidase is assessed as the elimination of IgG. IgG is cleaved by imlifidase in two steps, the first cut generates single-cleaved IgG (scIgG), and the second cut generates one F(ab')2 fragment and one Fc fragment. The IgG concentration measured in serum using the MSD technology is the sum of intact IgG and scIgG and a decrease in the measured IgG concentration therefore represents complete cleavage of the IgG molecule to Fc and F(ab')2 fragments. For the first 16 patients included in the trial a more frequent PD sampling schedule was conducted. After amending the protocol a less frequent PD sampling schedule was applied.

Pharmacodynamics - IgG Level in Serum Over Time

The pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of imlifidase is assessed as the elimination of IgG. IgG is cleaved by imlifidase in two steps, the first cut generates single-cleaved IgG (scIgG), and the second cut generates one F(ab')2 fragment and one Fc fragment. The IgG concentration measured in serum using the MSD technology is the sum of intact IgG and scIgG and a decrease in the measured IgG concentration therefore represents complete cleavage of the IgG molecule to Fc and F(ab')2 fragments. For the first 16 patients included in the trial a more frequent PD sampling schedule was conducted. After amending the protocol a less frequent PD sampling schedule was applied.

Time frame: Within 2 hours before imlifidase dose until Day 15

Population: 16 patients analyzed at Day 4, Day 5, Day 6 and Day 7 as the protocol was amended after 16 patients were included and a less frequent PD sampling schedule was applied.
