Overview of the studies
Two interventional studies of Vixarelimab are listed, and both are marked as completed.[1][2] Both studies are Phase 2 trials, which means they were designed to look for early signs of benefit while also checking safety.[1][2]
The trials focused on two different disease areas: lung disease and inflammatory bowel disease.[1][2] One study included people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease, and the other included people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.[1][2]
Trial in lung disease
The first study, 2022-502828-42-00, compared Vixarelimab with placebo in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease.[1] It was a Phase 2 study with 330 people enrolled.[1]
The brief summary says the study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of Vixarelimab compared with placebo on lung function for each cohort.[1] In simple words, the researchers wanted to see whether the study treatment could help people breathe better or keep lung function from getting worse.[1]
Trial in ulcerative colitis
The second study, 2023-506655-19-00, evaluated the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of Vixarelimab in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.[2] It was also a Phase 2 study and enrolled 260 participants.[2]
This study compared Vixarelimab with placebo for the induction of clinical remission at Week 12.[2] The trial also included several other treatments in the intervention list, but the trial objective in the source data specifically focused on Vixarelimab versus placebo.[2]
Key endpoints and what they mean
In the lung study, the main endpoint was the absolute change from baseline to Week 52 in FVC.[1] FVC stands for forced vital capacity, which is a test that measures how much air a person can breathe out after taking a deep breath.[1]
In the ulcerative colitis study, the main endpoint was clinical remission at Week 12.[2] Clinical remission was defined by a modified Mayo Score of 2 or less, with stool frequency 1 or less, rectal bleeding 0, and endoscopy 1 or less.[2]
The term pharmacokinetics was also part of the ulcerative colitis study.[2] This means the researchers were also looking at how the body handles the treatment over time.[2]
Who the trials were for
These studies were aimed at adults with specific diagnosed conditions, not at the general population.[1][2] The lung study was for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease, while the other study was for participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.[1][2]
- People with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: this group had a lung disease marked by scarring in the lungs.[1]
- People with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease: this group had lung involvement linked to systemic sclerosis.[1]
- People with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis: this group had a more active form of inflammatory bowel disease, which can cause frequent bowel symptoms and inflammation.[2]
What the completed status means
Both studies are listed as completed, which means the planned study work has finished and the results can be analyzed.[1][2] The source data provided here does not include the final results, so it only tells us what the trials were designed to measure.[1][2]
