Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to study the efficacy and safety of BCD-132 (divozilimab) in subjects with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD).

Detailed description

BCD-132-6/AQUARELLE is an open-label phase 3 clinical study in subjects with NMOSD. Approximately 105 subjects will be enrolled. The study consists of a screening period, a treatment period and a follow-up period. During treatment period, the subjects will receive the investigational product divozilimab. The duration of participation for each subject will be approximately 104 weeks.

Inclusion criteria

* NMOSD diagnosed based on the 2015 NMOSD International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria * Documented evidence of at least 1 relapse within 12 months before signing the informed consent form, or 2 relapses within 24 months before signing the informed consent form * A total EDSS score of ≤ 7 * Presence of IgG antibodies to the Varicella Zoster virus at screening * A CD19+ cell proportion of ≥ 1 % of the total lymphocyte count in patients exposed to other anti-B-cell therapies more than 6 months before signing the informed consent form

Exclusion criteria

* A relapse occurring less than 30 days before signing the informed consent form or at screening (patients may be re-screened) * Intrathecal oligoclonal or monoclonal IgG production (in patients who are anti-AQP4 seronegative) * Other nervous system disorders (including multiple sclerosis) that can mask or affect the assessment of NMOSD symptoms * History of other autoimmune diseases requiring immunosuppressive therapy * Prior exposure to: alemtuzumab, total lymphatic irradiation, bone marrow transplantation; anti-B-cell therapy drugs, abatacept, satralizumab within 6 months prior to signing the informed consent form; mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, eculizumab, tocilizumab, natalizumab, interferon beta, glatiramer acetate, fingolimod, teriflunomide, dimethyl fumarate within 3 months before signing the informed consent form; immunoglobulin products within 30 days before signing the informed consent form; transfusion of blood or blood components within 30 days before signing the informed consent form; systemic corticosteroids at the time of signing the informed consent form

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adjudicated annualized relapse rateWeek 52, 100Adjudicated annualized relapse rate
Proportion of subjects without adjudicated relapsesWeeks 24, 52, 100Proportion of subjects without adjudicated relapses at week 24, 52, 100
Change in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scoreWeek 24, 52, 100Change in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) at week 24, 52, 100 relative to baseline.The EDSS ranges from 0 to 10. An increase in EDSS values corresponds to a worsening disability.
Proportion of subjects with confirmed increase in disabilityWeeks 24, 26, 48, 52, 100Confirmed increase in disability is defined as an increase in the EDSS score (not related to a previous relapse and assuming there is no relapse at assessment) compared to Day 1 (baseline) by at least 1.5 in subjects with a baseline score of 0; by at least 1.0 in subjects with a baseline score of \> 0 and ≤ 5.5; and by at least 0.5 in subjects with a baseline score of ≥ 6.0 persisting for ≥ 3 months
Time to the first adjudicated relapseWeek 100Time to the first adjudicated relapse is defined as the time from the date of randomization in the study to the date of the onset of symptoms of the adjudicated relapse. Each relapse will be adjudicated by an independent neurological commission
Change in the Timed 25-Foot (7.62 m) Walk (T25-FW) testUp to Week 100Change in the Timed 25-Foot (7.62 m) Walk (T25-FW) test over time compared to baseline. T25-FW test is a way to quantify lower limb functions. The subject standing at one end of a clearly marked 25-foot (7.62-meter) course is asked to walk the distance as quickly but as safely as possible. After the first attempt, the subject is asked to walk the same distance again. The results (time in seconds) of both attempts are recorded.
Changes in the severity of pain using a Numeric Rating ScaleWeek 4, 24, 52, 100Changes in the severity of pain at Week 4, 24, 52, 100 relative to baseline. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) will be used to assess the intensity of the subject's pain. NRS consists of consecutive numbers from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is the most severe pain that can be imagined.
Change in the quality of life using a SF-36Week 24, 52, 100Change in the quality of life parameters using a SF-36 questionnaire at week 24, 52, 100 relative to baseline. SF-36 (Short Form-36) questionnaire includes a total of 36 questions.
