Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is a multi center, open-label, study of ANX005 in combination with IVIg in subjects diagnosed with GBS.
Detailed description
The study will enroll approximately 12 subjects into one cohort, with subjects receiving 75 mg/kg of ANX005, a dose shown to be safe and well-tolerated as monotherapy and that provides a meaningful level of exposure to be tested in combination with IVIg. Dosing of IVIg will be administered as is the current standard of care (0.4 g/kg/day x 5 days) and ANX005 will be administered concurrently, beginning on Day 1 or 2 of the treatment period. Subjects will be followed for 6 months after treatment for observation and evaluation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety and tolerability of ANX005 when administered in combination with IVIg: incidence of TEAEs, SAEs, AE's | 6 months | As measured by incidence of TEAEs, SAEs, AE's related to ANX005, SAE's related to ANX005, Grade 3 or higher AEs, Grade 3 or higher AEs related to ANX005, AEs leading to study or treatment discontinuation. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pharmacokinetics of ANX005 when administered in combination with IVIg | 3 months | As measured by ANX005 serum concentrations |
| Pharmacodynamics of ANX005 when administered in combination with IVIg | 4 months | As measured by CH50 and C1q serum concentrations |
| Values and change from baseline in Guillain-Barré Syndrome Disability Score (GBS-DS) by visit | 6 months | The 6-point Guillain-Barré Syndrme Disability Score (GBS-DS) is a widely accepted and easily obtainable scoring system used to assess functional status of GBS subjects. The score is as follows: 0 = Healthy, 1 = Minor symptoms and capable of running, 2 = Able to walk independently 10 meters or more but unable to run, 3=Able to walk more than 10 meters across an open space with help, 4 = Bedridden or chair bound, 5 = Needing mechanical ventilation, 6 = death |
