Siltuximab In Siltuximab-RElapsed/REfractory Multicentric CAstleman Disease (SISREMCAD)
Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman's Disease
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman's Disease
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Documented history of consensus histologic, laboratory, and clinical diagnostic criteria of iMCD.
- Archival and/or baseline incisional/excisional biopsy for retrospective central histologic confirmation of iMCD.
- CDCNRC-defined disease progression on or after prior treatment with siltuximab at 11 mg/kg q3w without unacceptable toxicity within 12 weeks between the last dose of siltuximab and the date of signed patient informed consent form (ICF).
- At least 1 measurable abnormal lymph node mass that is ≥1 cm in its longest transverse diameter as assessed by computerized tomography (CT) scan that has not been previously irradiated.
- Elevated (>10 mg/L) and rising serum CRP in the absence of additional iMCD treatment.
Evidence of at least an additional one of the following laboratory or clinical signs of iMCD per international, evidence-based consensus diagnostic criteria for HIV or HHV 8-negative iMCD:
- Anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, renal dysfunction, or polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia.
- Constitutional symptoms (night sweats, fever (>38°C), weight loss, or fatigue (CTCAE lymphoma B-symptoms score ≥2), large spleen and/or liver, fluid accumulation, eruptive cherry hemangiomatosis/violaceous papules, or lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis.
Adequate clinical laboratory measurements within 3 weeks prior to study entry in all parameters below:
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 × 109/L, hemoglobin <17 g/dL, and platelets ≥50 × 109/L without transfusion, hematopoietic growth factors, or both for >7 days prior to measurement.
- AST, ALT, total bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase ≤5 × ULN.
- Fasting cholesterol <300 mg/dL and fasting triglyceride <400 mg/dL.
- Age ≥12 years.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Documentation of HIV or HHV-8 infection or presence of other infection-related disorders that resemble clinical or histological features of iMCD
- Diagnosis of any malignant/benign lymphoproliferative disorders
- Diagnosis of autoimmune/autoinflammatory disease
- Treatment with corticosteroids (prednisone dose-equivalent >1 mg/kg/day) within 7 days prior to study entry.
- History of solid organ transplant, allogeneic bone marrow transplant, or allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
Previous malignancy with the following exceptions:
- Past malignancy with treatment that was completed at least 2 years before signing informed consent and the patient has no evidence of disease, or
- Concurrent malignancy that is clinically stable and does not require tumor-directed treatment (eg, nonmelanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ)

Active Comparator
Parallel Arm of iMCD Patients
Parallel Arm of TAFRO-iMCD Patients
Enrolling in Stage 1a of this study in parallel will be up to 6 patients each with siltuximab-relapsed or refractory IL-6-driven iMCD patients, respectively, who will undergo intrapatient dose escalation of siltuximab beginning with 22 mg/kg q3w, then possibly dose escalating to 33 mg/kg q3w then 44 mg/kg q3w if clinically indicated in the absence of DLT. The justifications for escalating siltuximab doses up to 44 mg/kg q3w will be based on intrapatient dose escalation and DLT assessments as described below.
