Safety and Efficacy Study of PF-06835375 in Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia

Overview

About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PF-06835375 in adult patients with Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia. This study is designed to clarify the effects of the CXCR5 inhibitor, PF-06835375 on platelet counts in participants with moderate-to-severe primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants between the ages of 18 (or the minimum country-specific age of consent if > 18) and 70 years, inclusive, at Screening.

    • Ongoing ITP (platelet counts 12 months; AND
    • Persistent ITP (3 to 12 months) or Chronic ITP >12 months.

  • Have current or recent history of clinically significant, acute or chronic, severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, metabolic, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiovascular, psychiatric, immunologic/rheumatologic or neurologic disease; or have any other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study intervention administration, or interfere with the interpretation of study results; or in the opinion of the investigator, the participant is inappropriate for entry into this study.
  • Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator’s judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study.

  • Any psychiatric condition including recent or active suicidal ideation or behavior that meets any of the following criteria:
    • Suicidal ideation associated with actual intent and a method or plan in the past year: “Yes” answers on items 4 or 5 of the C-SSRS;
    • Previous history of suicidal behaviors in the past 5 years: “Yes” answer (for events that occurred in the past 5 years) to any of the suicidal behavior items of the C-SSRS;
    • Any lifetime history of serious or recurrent suicidal behavior.
  • Current use of any prohibited concomitant medication(s) or those unwilling/unable to use a permitted concomitant medication(s).
  • Any prior treatment with rituximab (or any other B cell depleting agent) must have been completed and eligibility requires a normal CD19 count (> 100 cells per microliter) for 12 months prior to first dose.
  • Recent high doses corticosteroids (> 20 mg prednisone or equivalent per day). If on corticosteroids, must be on a stable dose for ≥ 8 days prior to the first dose (maximum dose up to 20 mg/day prednisone equivalent) and expected to remain on a stable dose throughout the study. 
  • Treatment with IVIg ≤ 28 days prior to the first dose.
  • Treatment with plasmapheresis within 3 months prior to the first dose.
  • Treatment with an anti-Rh D antigen agent (e.g., WinRho®) ≤ 28 days prior to the first dose.
  • If receiving avotrombopag, eltrombopag, fostamatinib, or romiplostim, the dose must have been stable for ≥ 28 days prior to the first dose of study intervention and must be expected to remain stable throughout the study.
  • If receiving adjunct immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine, azathioprine, mycophenolate, or 6-mercaptopurine, the doses must be stable for 2 months prior to day 1 and anticipated to remain stable throughout the study. Stable dosages should not exceed MMF 3 g/day; AZA 2 mg/kg/day and cyclosporine 5 mg/kg/day. 
  • Treatment with other cytotoxic agents (eg, cyclophosphamide, vincristine) is not allowed within 3 months prior to the first dose.
  • Use of any systemic treatment or herbal supplement that is known to affect platelets (i.e., resveratrol).
  • Previous administration with an investigational drug within 30 days (or as determined by the local requirement) or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of study intervention used in this study (whichever is longer).
  • Renal impairment eGFR < 60.
  • Presence of any of the following laboratory abnormalities at Screening:
    • B-cell count below the LLN, defined as 100 cells/µL (obtained from CLIA certified central lab);
    • Total serum IgG 2.0 × ULN;
    • Total bilirubin level > 1.5 × ULN; participants with a history of Gilbert's syndrome may have direct bilirubin measured and would be eligible for this study provided the direct bilirubin level is < ULN;
    • Any abnormality consistent with or suggestive of coagulopathy (d-dimer, fibrinogen, PTT, INR);
    • Serum creatinine > 1.5 x ULN or eGFR 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 95 mmHg).
  • Baseline standard 12-lead ECG that demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or interpretation of study results (e.g., QTcF interval > 450 msec, complete LBBB, signs of an acute or indeterminate age myocardial infarction, ST-T interval changes suggestive of myocardial ischemia, second or third degree AV block, or serious bradyarrhythmias or tachyarrhythmias). If the baseline uncorrected QT interval is > 450 msec, this interval should be rate corrected using the Fridericia method and the resulting QTcF should be used for decision making and reporting. If QTcF exceeds 450 msec, or QRS exceeds 120 msec, the ECG should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 QTcF or QRS values should be used to determine the participant’s eligibility. Computer interpreted ECGs should be overread by a physician experienced in reading ECGs before excluding a participant.
  • Evidence of active infection, including suspected or laboratory confirmed SARS-COVID-19 virus less than 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention.
  • Have active acute or chronic infection requiring treatment or suppression with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antiparasitics, antiprotozoals, or antifungals within 4 weeks prior to Day 1.
    • NOTE: rescreen is allowed one time after resolution of infection.
  • Have a history of systemic infection requiring hospitalization, parenteral antimicrobial therapy, or as otherwise judged clinically significant by the investigator within 6 months prior to Day 1.
    • NOTE: rescreen is allowed one time after resolution of infection.
  • Abnormal findings on the screening chest radiographs (e.g., chest X-ray) including, but not limited to, presence of TB, general infections, heart failure, or malignancy. Chest radiographs examination may be performed up to 12 weeks prior to Day 1. Documentation of the official reading must be available in the source documentation.
  • Herpes infection meeting at least one of the following criteria:
    • A herpes zoster episode 3 months prior to Screening;
    • History of recurrent (i.e., more than one episode) herpes zoster;
    • History (single episode) of disseminated herpes zoster or disseminated herpes simplex, or a recurrent (more than one episode of) localized, dermatomal herpes zoster.

  • Having received any live vaccine within 3 months or non-live vaccine within 1 month prior to the first dose and throughout the study and follow up. An approved COVID-19 vaccine is considered a concomitant medication. Due to the potential for interference with vaccine efficacy, the last dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine must be completed 28 days prior to dosing with PF-06835375.
  • Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days (or as determined by the local requirement) or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of study intervention (whichever is longer).
