Experimental

Arm Label

Cohort 1: ALXN1830

Cohort 2: ALXN1830

Arm Description

Participants received 5 doses of ALXN1830 10 mg/kg administered weekly.

Participants were to receive 3 doses of ALXN1830 30 mg/kg administered weekly (loading) followed by 5 doses of ALXN1830 10 mg/kg administered every other week or 10 weekly doses of ALXN1830 IV (maintenance).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Count Of Participants Reporting Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
A TEAE was defined as any adverse event (AE) that starts on or after the first dose of study drug or occurs prior to the first dose and worsens in severity on or after the first dose of study drug, during the Treatment Period and Follow-up Period. A TEAE was considered "serious" (Grade 3) if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, it resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening adverse drug event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or an event that may have jeopardized the participant and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the previously listed outcomes. A summary of serious and all other non-serious adverse events, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Maximum Percent Reduction Of Mean Total Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Levels From Baseline
Pharmacodynamic samples were collected for analysis throughout the study. The maximum percent reduction of mean serum total IgG levels from Baseline observed during the study is presented.
Maximum Percent Reduction In Mean Pemphigus Disease Area Index (PDAI) Total Activity Score From Baseline
Pemphigus severity and disease activity was measured using the PDAI in regions where a validated questionnaire was available. The PDAI was administered during Treatment Period and Follow-up Period. PDAI total activity was comprised of scores for the skin, mucous membrane, and scalp subscales. The investigator determined a PDAI score as 0 to 250 points for total activity score (0 to 120 for skin, 0 to 10 for scalp, and 0 to 120 for mucosa). A higher score indicated higher impact on skin disease. The maximum percent reduction in PDAI total activity score from Baseline observed during the study is presented.
Maximum Percent Reduction Of Mean Circulating Immune Complexes (CIC) Levels From Baseline
Pharmacodynamic samples were collected for analysis throughout the study. The maximum percent reduction of mean CIC levels from Baseline observed during the study is presented.
Maximum Percent Reduction Of Mean Anti-Desmoglein (Dsg) 1 And 3 Antibodies From Baseline
Pharmacodynamic samples were collected for analysis throughout the study. The maximum percent reduction of mean anti-Dsg 1 and 3 antibodies from Baseline observed during the study is presented.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This was a multicenter, open-label safety study to determine the dose regimen of SYNT001 (ALXN1830) administered intravenously in participants with pemphigus (vulgaris or foliaceus).
Detailed Description
This study planned to evaluate 2 cohorts: up to 8 participants to receive 5 weekly intravenous (IV) doses of ALXN1830 at 10 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) (Cohort 1) and up to 12 participants to receive 3 x 30 mg/kg weekly doses of ALXN1830 IV (loading) followed by 5 x 10 mg/kg doses of ALXN1830 IV every other week or 10 weekly doses of ALXN1830 IV (maintenance) (Cohort 2). This study was terminated after the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy were characterized in participants with pemphigus at a single dose level (10 mg/kg) in Cohort 1, before any participants were enrolled in Cohort 2. The study consisted of 3 periods: Screening, Treatment, and Follow-Up.
