Open-label extension of a phase 2 trial of risankizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease
Background: Risankizumab, an anti-interleukin-23 antibody, was superior to placebo in achieving clinical and endoscopic remission at week 12 in a randomised, phase 2 induction study in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease. The efficacy and safety of extended intravenous induction and/or subcutaneous maintenance therapy with risankizumab was assessed.
Methods: Following 12-week, double-blind, randomised, induction treatment comparing 200 mg or 600 mg intravenous risankizumab to placebo every 4 weeks, patients without deep remission, defined as clinical (Crohn’s Disease Activity Index <150) and endoscopic remission (Crohn’s Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity [CDEIS] ≤4 [≤2 for patients with isolated ileitis]), received open-label 600 mg intravenous risankizumab (every 4 weeks) and patients in deep remission underwent washout until week 26 (Period 2). At week 26, patients in clinical remission received maintenance treatment (Period 3) with 180 mg subcutaneous risankizumab (every 8 weeks). Efficacy endpoints included clinical and endoscopic response and remission at weeks 26 (Period 2) and 52 (Period 3) respectively; safety was assessed through both periods. Study registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02031276.
Findings: In Period 2, 101 patients were treated with 600 mg risankizumab resulting in an increase in clinical remission rates at week 26 versus week 12 for all original designated treatment groups: 55% versus 18%, 59% versus 21%, and 47% versus 26% for placebo, 200, and 600 mg risankizumab, respectively. Of the 62 patients receiving maintenance treatment, 54 completed treatment. At week 52, clinical remission was maintained by 71% of patients; endoscopic remission and response (>50% CDEIS reduction from baseline) was achieved by 35% and 55% of patients, respectively, and 29% of patients achieved deep remission. Risankizumab was well tolerated with no new safety signals.
Interpretation: Extended induction treatment with open-label intravenous risankizumab was effective in increasing clinical response and remission rates at week 26. Open-label subcutaneous risankizumab maintained remission till week 52 in most patients who were in clinical remission at week 26. Selective blockade of interleukin-23 warrants further evaluation as treatment for Crohn’s disease.Boehringer Ingelhei
Induction therapy with the selective interleukin-23 inhibitor risankizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 study
BACKGROUND: The interleukin-23 pathway is implicated genetically and biologically in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of risankizumab (BI 655066, Boehringer Ingelheim, Ingelheim, Germany), a humanised monoclonal antibody targeting the p19 subunit of interleukin-23, in patients with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's disease. METHODS: In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 study, we enrolled patients at 36 referral sites in North America, Europe, and southeast Asia. Eligible patients were aged 18-75 years, with a diagnosis of Crohn's disease for at least 3 months, assessed as moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease at screening, defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) of 220-450, with mucosal ulcers in the ileum or colon, or both, and a Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity (CDEIS) of at least 7 (≥4 for patients with isolated ileitis) on ileocolonoscopy scored by a masked central reader. Patients were randomised 1:1:1 using an interactive response system to a double-blind investigational product, and stratified by previous exposure to TNF antagonists (yes vs no). Patients received intravenous 200 mg risankizumab, 600 mg risankizumab, or placebo, at weeks 0, 4, and 8. The primary outcome was clinical remission (CDAI <150) at week 12 (intention-to-treat population). Safety was assessed in patients who received at least one dose of study drug. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02031276. FINDINGS: Between March, 2014, and September, 2015, 213 patients were screened, and 121 patients randomised. At baseline, 113 patients (93%) had been previously treated with at least one tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist (which had failed in 96 [79%]). At week 12, 25 (31%) of 82 risankizumab patients (pooled 41 patients in 200 mg and 41 patients in 600 mg arms) had clinical remission versus six (15%) of 39 placebo patients (difference vs placebo 15·0%, 95% CI 0·1 to 30·1; p=0·0489). Ten (24%) of 41 patients who received 200 mg risankizumab had clinical remission (9·0%, -8·3 to 26·2; p=0·31) and 15 (37%) of 41 who received the 600 mg dose (20·9%, 2·6 to 39·2; p=0·0252). 95 (79%) patients had adverse events (32 in the placebo group, 32 randomised to 200 mg risankizumab, 31 randomised to 600 mg risankizumab); 18 had severe adverse events (nine, six, three); 12 discontinued (six, five, one); 24 had serious adverse events (12, nine, three). The most common adverse event was nausea and most common serious adverse event was worsening of underlying Crohn's disease. No deaths occurred. INTERPRETATION: In this short-term study, risankizumab was more effective than placebo for inducing clinical remission in patients with active Crohn's disease. Therefore, selective blockade of interleukin-23 via inhibition of p19 might be a viable therapeutic approach in Crohn's disease. FUNDING: Boehringer Ingelheim.status: publishe

Risankizumab in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease: an open-label extension study.
BACKGROUND: Risankizumab, an anti-interleukin 23 antibody, was superior to placebo in achieving clinical and endoscopic remission at week 12 in a randomised, phase 2 induction study in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Here we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of extended intravenous induction and subcutaneous maintenance therapy with risankizumab. METHODS: All patients who completed the 12-week induction phase of the double-blind phase 2 induction study were included in this open-label extension study. Patients who did not achieve deep remission, defined as clinical remission (Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] 50% CDEIS reduction from baseline); endoscopic remission, as defined previously; mucosal healing; and deep remission. Safety was assessed in patients who received at least one dose of the study drug during the open-label phases of the study. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02031276. FINDINGS: Of the 108 patients who completed the 12-week double-blind induction trial, six patients were in deep remission and entered the 12-week washout phase. 102 patients were not in deep remission, 101 of whom received 12 weeks of 600 mg risankizumab (33 from the original placebo group, 34 from the 200 mg risankizumab group, and 34 from the 600 mg risankizumab group); the other patient declined to continue the study. At week 26, 54 (53%) of 101 patients treated with 600 mg rizankizumab were in clinical remission. Among patients included in the open-label extension trial, clinical remission rates at week 26 versus week 12 were: 18 (55%) versus six (18%) of 33 patients in the original placebo group; 20 (59%) versus seven (21%) of 34 patients in the original 200 mg risankizumab group; and 16 (47%) versus nine (26%) of 34 patients in the original 600 mg risankizumab group. 62 patients received risankizumab maintenance treatment, including the 54 patients who achieved clinical remission at week 26, the six patients who had achieved deep remission at week 12, and one patient because of a protocol violation. At week 52, clinical remission was maintained in 44 (71%) patients; 50 (81%) patients had a clinical response, 22 (35%) patients were in endoscopic remission, and 34 (55%) patients had an endoscopic response. 15 (24%) patients had mucosal healing and 18 (29%) patients achieved deep remission at week 52. Risankizumab was well tolerated with no new safety signals noted. The most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events were arthralgia (25 [22%] of 115 patients), headache (23 [20%]), abdominal pain (21 [18%]), nasopharyngitis (18 [16%]), nausea (18 [16%]), and pyrexia (15 [13%]). Most adverse events were mild or moderate and considered to be unrelated to study treatment. There were no treatment-related deaths. INTERPRETATION: Extended induction treatment with open-label intravenous risankizumab was effective in increasing clinical response and remission rates at week 26. Open-label subcutaneous risankizumab maintained remission until week 52 in most patients who were in clinical remission at week 26. Selective blockade of interleukin 23 warrants further investigation as a treatment for Crohn's disease. FUNDING: Boehringer Ingelheim
