Summary

This was a Phase 1b/2, multi-center study in which patients received KZR-616, administered as a subcutaneous (SC) injection weekly for 13 weeks (Phase 1b) or 24 weeks (Phase 2).

Detailed description

This was a Phase 1b/2, open-label, multi-center study in which patients received zetomipzomib administered as a SC injection weekly for either 13 weeks (Phase 1b) or for 24 weeks (Phase 2). In both phases, safety assessments continued for up to 12 weeks following the last dose of zetomipzomib. Phase 1b was an open-label, multiple dose escalation study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of zetomipzomib when administered in addition to standard-of-care therapy in patients with SLE with or without nephritis. For each cohort, at least 6 patients were to be enrolled to assure the availability of at least 4 evaluable patients. Decisions to escalate, expand, or decrease the dose level or dosing frequency following the first 4 weeks of dosing for at least 4 evaluable patients in a cohort were made following review by a data monitoring committee (DMC). The zetomipzomib formulations and doses administered by cohort in Phase 1b were: * Cohort 1: zetomipzomib frozen maleate, 45 mg weekly × 13 weeks * Cohort 2: zetomipzomib frozen maleate, 60 mg weekly × 13 weeks * Cohort 2a: zetomipzomib frozen maleate, 30 mg weekly × 2 weeks, followed by 45 mg weekly × 2 weeks, followed by 60 mg weekly × 9 weeks * Cohort 2b: zetomipzomib lyophile, 30 mg weekly × 1 week, followed by 60 mg weekly × 12 weeks * Cohort 2c: zetomipzomib lyophile, 30 mg weekly × 1 week, followed by 60 mg weekly × 12 weeks (tolerability strategies cohort) * Cohort 3: zetomipzomib lyophile, 30 mg weekly × 1 week, followed by 75 mg weekly × 12 weeks The Phase 2 portion of the open-label study was designed to evaluate the renal response, safety, and tolerability of a single dose level (60 mg) of zetomipzomib administered weekly in addition to standard therapy in patients with active proliferative lupus nephritis (LN) (Class III or IV, with or without Class V disease) with a UPCR ≥1.0. Patients must have been on standard therapy for LN including at least 1 immunosuppressive agent. Zetomipzomib was administered as a SC injection weekly for 24 weeks (including a step up from an initial Week 1 dose of 30 mg).
