Sustained improvements in patient-reported outcomes after long-term sutimlimab in patients with cold agglutinin disease: results from the CADENZA study open-label extension.

Background: Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare subtype of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia characterised by classical complement pathway-mediated haemolysis, fatigue, and poor quality of life (QoL). Sutimlimab, a C1s inhibitor, rapidly halted haemolysis, and improved patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with CAD in two phase 3 trials (CARDINAL and CADENZA). Here we report PROs from the CADENZA open-label extension (Part B).

Long-term sutimlimab improves quality of life for patients with cold agglutinin disease: CARDINAL 2-year follow-up.

Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia with a substantial burden on patient's quality of life. CARDINAL was a 2-part, open-label, single-arm, multicenter phase 3 study evaluating the C1s inhibitor, sutimlimab, for treatment of CAD. Part A consisted of the pivotal study phase, with the part B extension phase assessing long-term safety and durability of response including patient-reported outcomes, which is the focus of this report.

Sustained inhibition of complement C1s with sutimlimab over 2 years in patients with cold agglutinin disease.

Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare, autoimmune, classical complement pathway (CP)-mediated hemolytic anemia. Sutimlimab selectively inhibits C1s of the C1 complex, preventing CP activation while leaving the alternative and lectin pathways intact. In Part A (26 weeks) of the open-label, single-arm, Phase 3 CARDINAL study in patients with CAD and a recent history of transfusion, sutimlimab demonstrated rapid effects on hemolysis and anemia.

Final results of the PUPs B-LONG study: evaluating safety and efficacy of rFIXFc in previously untreated patients with hemophilia B.

PUPs B-LONG evaluated the safety and efficacy of recombinant factor IX Fc fusion protein (rFIXFc) in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with hemophilia B. In this open-label, phase 3 study, male PUPs (age <18 years) with hemophilia B (≤2 IU/dL of endogenous factor IX [FIX]) were to receive treatment with rFIXFc. Primary end point was occurrence of inhibitor development, with a secondary end point of annualized bleed rate (ABR).

Safety and immunogenicity of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine formulations with and without aluminum phosphate and comparison of the formulation of choice with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in elderly adults: a randomized open-label trial.

This randomized open-label trial was designed to provide preliminary immunogenicity and safety data to support development of the pediatric 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) for adults. The aims were to: identify an age-appropriate PCV13 formulation, i.e.

Immunogenicity and safety of a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine compared to a 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in pneumococcal vaccine-naive adults.

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among adults 50 years of age and older in the United States. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines are efficacious against pneumococcal disease in children and may also offer advantages in adults.

Methods: We performed a randomized, modified double-blind trial that compared a single dose of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) in 831 pneumococcal vaccine naive adults 60-64 years of age.

Randomized, controlled trial of a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine administered concomitantly with an influenza vaccine in healthy adults.

A randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial evaluated the immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) coadministered with trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) in pneumococcal vaccine-naive adults. Participants ages 50 to 59 years (n = 1,116) received TIV with PCV13 (group 1) or placebo (group 2) (1:1 randomization); 1 month later, group 1 received placebo and group 2 received PCV13. A hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay for TIV and a standardized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for pneumococcal serotype-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) were performed and opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) titers (assessed post hoc) were measured at baseline and 1 and 2 months postvaccination.

Placebo response in two long-term randomized psoriasis studies that were negative for rosiglitazone.

Background: Previous research has suggested that the thiazolidinedione rosiglitazone may possess anti-psoriatic activity.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of rosiglitazone with that of placebo in the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis.

Methods: Two large-scale, randomized, double-blind, multicenter studies (study A, n = 1563; study B, n = 1032) were conducted over 52 weeks (plus optional 44 weeks safety extension) in an outpatient setting.
