ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants in Each Category of Accrued Duration of RemissionUp to Week 52
Total accrued duration of remission is the accrued number of weeks where Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) =0 plus prednisolone/prednisone dose \<=4 mg/day over the 52 week study treatment period was reported. The accrued duration was categorized into zero, \>0 to \<12 weeks, 12 to \<24 weeks, 24 to \<36 weeks and \>=36 weeks. Statistical analysis was based on a proportional odds regression model with covariates including treatment group, Baseline prednisolone/prednisone daily dose, Baseline BVAS score and region. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population was used for the analysis and was defined as all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of trial medication. Randomized participants were assumed to have received study treatment unless definitive evidence to the contrary exists. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated probability (p)-value and 95 percent confidence interval (CI) were calculated.
PrimaryNumber of Participants Who Are in Remission at 36 and 48 WeeksWeek 36 and Week 48
The number of participants who were in remission (i.e ., BVAS=0 and prednisolone /prednisone \<=4 mg/day) at both Weeks 36 and 48 of the study treatment period was reported. The statistical analysis was performed using a logistic regression model on ITT Population. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated p-value and 95 percent CI were calculated.
SecondaryTime to First EGPA RelapseUp to Week 52
EGPA relapse was defined as worsening or persistence of active disease since the last visit characterized by active vasculitis or active asthma symptoms and/or signs with a corresponding worsening in Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6) score or active nasal and/or sinus disease, with a corresponding worsening in at least one of the sino-nasal symptom questions warranting: i) an increased dose of OCS therapy (or other systemic corticosteroid therapy) to \>4 mg/day prednisolone total daily dose or equivalent; OR ii) an increased dose or addition of immunosuppressive therapy; OR iii) hospitalization related to EGPA worsening. Participants who completed study, or withdrawn prematurely from the study without experiencing the event were censored. The number of participants with at least one EGPA relapse during the planned study treatment period are presented.
SecondaryNumber of Participants in Each Category of Average Daily Prednisolone/Prednisone Dose During the Last 4 Weeks of the Study Treatment Period.Week 48 and Week52
The number of participants with an average daily prednisolone/prednisone dose during the last 4 weeks of the Study Treatment Period (48 through 52) was calculated. The average dose was categorized into zero, \>0 to \<=4.0mg, \>4.0 to \<=7.5mg and \>7.5mg. The statistical analysis was performed using a proportional odds regression model with Baseline covariates of treatment group, Baseline prednisolone/prednisone daily dose, Baseline BVAS score and region and the comparison between treatment groups was presented as an odds ratio, p-value and 95 percent CI.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Achieved Remission Within the First 24 Weeks and Remained in Remission for the Remainder of the Treatment PeriodUp to Week 52
The number of participants who achieved remission (i.e., BVAS=0 and prednisolone/prednisone\<=4 mg/day) within the first 24 weeks and remain in remission for the remainder of the study treatment period was reported. The statistical analysis was performed using a logistic regression model on ITT Population. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated p-value and 95 percent CI were calculated.
SecondaryNumber of Participants in Each Category of Accrued Duration of RemissionUp to Week 52
Total accrued duration of remission, i.e., the accrued number of weeks where Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) =0 plus prednisolone/prednisone dose \<=7.5mg/day over the 52 week study treatment period was reported. BVAS is a validated, clinician-completed tool used for the comprehensive multisystem clinical assessment of disease activity in systemic vasculitis. The duration was categorized into zero, \>0 to \<12 weeks, 12 to \<24 weeks, 24 to \<36 weeks and \>=36 weeks. Statistical analysis was performed on ITT Population and was based on a proportional odds regression model with covariates including treatment group, Baseline prednisolone/prednisone daily dose, Baseline BVAS score and region. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated p-value and 95 percent CI were calculated.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Are in Remission at 36 and 48 WeeksWeek 36 and Week 48
The number of participants who were in remission (i.e ., BVAS=0 and prednisolone /prednisone \<=7.5mg/day) at both Weeks 36 and 48 of the study treatment period was reported. The statistical analysis was performed using a logistic regression model on ITT Population. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated p-value and 95 percent CI were calculated.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Achieved Remission (BVAS=0 and Prednisolone/Prednisone <=7.5 mg/Day) Within the First 24 Weeks and Remained in Remission for the Remainder of the Treatment PeriodUp to Week 52
The number of participants who were in remission (i.e ., BVAS=0 and prednisolone /prednisone \<=7.5mg/day) at both Weeks 36 and 48 of the study treatment period was reported. The statistical analysis was performed using a logistic regression model on ITT Population. The odds ratio for treatment difference and associated p-value and 95 percent CI were calculated.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Local and Systemic Adverse Events (AEs)Up to Week 52
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. AEs including systemic allergic and non-allergic reactions as well as local site injection-related reactions were counted throughout treatment phase and follow up phase. Systemic allergic reactions included Facial paralysis, flushing, hypersensitivity and rash pruritic. Injection related reactions were considered as systemic non-allergic reactions. Local site reactions included injection site bruising, erythema, pain and reaction. The analysis was performed on Safety Population which comprised of all participants who receive at least one dose of study treatment.
Secondary
Change From Baseline in Clinical Chemistry Parameters of Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline Phosphatase (Alk.Phosph.), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Creatinine Kinase, Gamma Glutamyl Transaminase (GGT) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (Dehydro) Levels
Baseline and up to Week 60
Blood samples were collected to evaluate change from Baseline in ALT, Alk.phosph., AST, creatinine kinase, GGT and lactate dehydro values at Baseline throughout the 52 weeks study treatment and 8-weeks follow up period. Baseline values were taken at Visit 2 and change from Baseline was defined as post-dose visit value minus Baseline value. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n= X in the category titles). Mean and standard deviation (SD) were measured.
