IgG4 Related Disease

Brief summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of zanubrutinib in treating patients with IgG4-related disease

Detailed description

This will be a single-site, open-label study in symptomatic patients with IgG4-related disease affecting the submandibular and/or lacrimal glands. All patients will receive zanubrutinib orally at a dose of 80mg BID for 24 weeks. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that zanubrutinib treatment reduces reduces the volume of the submandibular and/or lacrimal glands on PET/MRI at week 24 compared to baseline.

Intervention model description

Open-label study in symptomatic subjects with histopathologically confirmed IgG4-related disease affecting the submandibular and/or lacrimal glands. Ten subjects will be included in the study. All eligible subjects will receive zanubrutinib 80mg BID over a period of 24 weeks and will be followed up for an additional 8 weeks after the last dose.

Change in Absolute Regulatory B Cell CountBaseline, Week 12, and Week 24Percentage of regulatory B cells in the blood, assessed using flow cytometry.
Change in the IgG4-RD Responder IndexBaseline, Week 12, and Week 24The IgG4-RD Responder Index detects change in disease activity and identifies improvements/worsening in the same or different organ systems. It encompasses more than 25 organs/sites and records the following for each organ/site: (i) activity trend (through a 0-3 \[normal/resolved - worsening\] organ/site score); (ii) presence of symptoms due to active disease; (iii) need for urgent care; (iv) presence of damage; and (v) presence of symptoms due to damage. The final activity score at each visit is obtained by summing all organ/site scores (i) and by doubling items needing urgent care (iii). The IgG4-RD Responder Index Total Activity Score ranges from 0 to a maximum of 162. Higher scores represent greater (i.e. worse) disease activity. A score of 0 represents no disease activity other than residual fibrosis.
