Brief summary

Efficacy and safety of imsidolimab (ANB019) in participants with Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Detailed description

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of imsidolimab in adult participants with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). This study will also characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of imsidolimab and explore the immune response to imsidolimab in participants with HS.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in AN Count at Week 16: Placebo-Controlled PeriodBaseline, Week 16The AN count was defined as the sum of the number of abscesses and inflammatory nodules from all locations.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 50 (HiSCR50): Placebo-Controlled PeriodWeek 16The number of participants with at least a 50% decrease from Baseline AN count, and no increase in abscesses or draining fistulas in comparison to baseline (HiSCR50) at Week 16 was calculated for each treatment group as follows: A responder HiSCR50 was defined as a participant with 1. at least a 50% decrease in AN count from Baseline, and 2. no increase in abscess count relative to Baseline, and 3. no increase in draining fistula count relative to Baseline
Change From Baseline in Worst HS Pain NRS Score at Week 16: Placebo-Controlled PeriodBaseline, Week 16Participants were asked to assign a numerical score representing the HS worst pain intensity over the last 24 hours on a scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst imaginable symptoms).
Change From Baseline in Average HS Pain NRS Score at Week 16: Placebo-Controlled PeriodBaseline, Week 16Participants were asked to assign a numerical score representing the average intensity over the last 7 days of their HS pain symptoms on a scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst imaginable symptoms).
Percent Change From Baseline in AN Count at Week 16: Placebo-Controlled PeriodBaseline, Week 16The AN count was defined as the sum of the number of abscesses and inflammatory nodules from all locations.
Percent Change From Baseline in Average HS Pain NRS Score at Week 16: Placebo-Controlled PeriodBaseline, Week 16Participants were asked to assign a numerical score representing the average intensity over the last 7 days of their HS pain symptoms on a scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst imaginable symptoms). Only participants that had Baseline score of \>0 could be included in the analysis of Percent Change from Baseline.
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs): Placebo-Controlled PeriodFrom first dose (placebo-controlled period) up to Week 16An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An AE was considered treatment-emergent if the date of onset was during or after first dose of study treatment during placebo-controlled period, or if the AE present at baseline worsened in either intensity or frequency after first dose of study treatment.
Number of Participants With TEAEs: Extension and Follow-up PeriodFrom first dose (extension period) up to Week 40An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An AE was considered treatment-emergent if the date of onset was during or after first dose of study treatment in extension period, or if the AE present at baseline worsened in either intensity or frequency after first dose of study treatment.
Percent Change From Baseline in Worst HS Pain NRS Score at Week 16: Placebo-Controlled PeriodBaseline, Week 16Participants were asked to assign a numerical score representing the HS worst pain intensity over the last 24 hours on a scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst imaginable symptoms).

Population: ITT Analysis Set with available data was analyzed; change and percent change in worst HS pain NRS and change and percent change in average HS pain NRS are 2 different CRF questions, and so the number of responses can (and do) differ between the questions at baseline.
