Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Safety and Dose Confirmation Run-in Period (SRP)
Proportion of participants with hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 10 g/dL and ≥ 2 g/dL increase from Baseline with no use of blood transfusion or glucocorticoid (GC) rescue therapy.
24 weeks
Randomized Control Period (RCP)
Proportion of participants who achieve a durable Hgb response (defined as Hgb ≥ 10 g/dL and ≥ 2 g/dL increase from Baseline on at least 3 of 4 consecutive available visits), at the earliest on or after Week 12, with no use of blood transfusion or GC rescue therapy prior to attaining durable response through Week 24.
24 weeks
Study Arms (3)
Safety and Dose Confirmation Run-in Period (SRP): Obexelimab
EXPERIMENTALObexelimab will be administered as an SC injection for 24 weeks.
Randomized Control Period (RCP): Obexelimab
EXPERIMENTALObexelimab will be administered as an SC injection for 24 weeks.
Randomized Control Period (RCP): Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORPlacebo will be administered as an SC injection for 24 weeks
Interventions
Obexelimab is a monoclonal antibody that simultaneously binds CD19 and FcγRIIb, resulting in down regulation of B cell activity.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Males and females, ≥ 18 years of age
- Clinically diagnosed with wAIHA for at least 3 months and currently receiving treatment for wAIHA or have previously received treatment for wAIHA.
- Diagnosis of primary or secondary wAIHA documented by a positive direct antiglobulin test specific for anti-IgG or anti-IgA.
- Failed at least 1 prior wAIHA treatment regimen.
- At least one sign or symptom of anemia as assessed by the investigator at screening.
You may not qualify if:
- Have cold antibody AIHA, cold agglutinin syndrome, mixed type (i.e., warm, and cold) AIHA, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
- Have any other associated cause of hereditary or acquired hemolytic anemia.
- For the RCP only, patients with secondary wAIHA not due to autoimmune disorders, including LPDs.
- Received a transfusion within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
- Use of B cell-depleting, B cell-targeted, or other biologic immunomodulatory agents within the 6 months prior to randomization.
- Received IV Ig or epoetin alfa within 6 weeks prior to randomization.
- Receiving more than 2 concomitant medications for the treatment of wAIHA.
