A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Crossover Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of KZR-616 in the Treatment of Patients With Active Polymyositis or Dermatomyositis
Abstract
This was a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of treatment with KZR-616 in patients with active polymyositis (PM) or dermatomyositis (DM). Patients were evaluated for eligibility during the Screening Period. Eligible patients were stratified by diagnosis of DM or PM and randomized 1:1 to Arm A or Arm B of the study.
During the 32-week treatment period, patients received study drug subcutaneously (SC) once weekly with 2 treatment periods of 16 weeks each.
This study was conducted on an outpatient basis.
Conditions: Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis.
Primary outcome: Mean Change in the Total Improvement Score (TIS) From Start to End of Zetomipzomib (KZR-616) Treatment Period.
Enrollment: 25 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 25 participants or records.
