| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT01170936 ↗ | Ilaris® in Urticarial Vasculitis - Investigation of Treatment Responses | Completed | Novartis Pharmaceuticals | Phase 2 | 2010-07-01 | This is a single-center open label study to assess the efficacy and safety of single doses of canakinumab (trade name Ilaris®), a high-affinity monoclonal antibody that neutralizes IL-1β, in patients with active urticarial vasculitis. Efficacy is primarily assessed by a combined symptom score, the urticarial vasculitis activity score (UVAS). Following a baseline period of 2 weeks, patients will be dosed with two single s.c. injections of 150 mg (consistent with a total dose of 300 mg canakinumab). Visits for investigator's assessments will be scheduled at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks post dose. Patient's self-assessment will be performed on a daily basis throughout the study. Overall a max. of 10 subjects with urticarial vasculitis will be enrolled. |

| NCT01211977 ↗ | A Pilot Study of XOMA 052 in Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome / Muckle-Wells Syndrome and Behcet's Disease | Withdrawn | National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) | Phase 1/Phase 2 | 2010-08-27 | Background: - Autoinflammatory diseases are illnesses that produce episodes of inflammation such as fever, rash, or joint swelling. Some of these diseases can be treated with medications that block the body's reaction to a protein called IL-1, which may be part of the cause of the inflammation. IL-1 blocking agents are very helpful in treating autoinflammatory diseases and have become the standard of care for treatment for some of these diseases. However, more research is needed on related diseases that may be treated with new and currently used IL-1 blocking agents. - XOMA 052 is an experimental drug that is currently being tested as a possible treatment for type 2 diabetes. Initial studies have shown that XOMA 052 neutralizes a specific kind of IL-1, and is also active against certain indicators of inflammation. Researchers are interested in determining whether XOMA 052 can be used to treat autoinflammatory and related diseases. Objectives: - To determine the effectiveness of XOMA 052 as a treatment for inflammation in adults with the autoinflammatory diseases Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS)/Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) and Behcet's Disease. Eligibility: - FCAS/ MWS: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have a known history of the typical disease. - Behcet's Disease: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have evidence of active disease, such as oral or genital ulcers or eye disease. Design: FCAS/MWS Participants - Participants will have an overnight evaluation of their disease, including optional tests (e.g., eye or skin exams). Participants who currently take medications to treat their symptoms will stop taking the medication and will be monitored by study researchers. At the first flare of symptoms, participants will begin to receive XOMA 052. - Participants will have further tests on days 3, 7, and 10 after the initial dose of XOMA 052. If the disease remains under good control, participants will have a clinical exam every 5 days for up to 10 weeks until another disease flare occurs (determined either by symptoms or by inflammation observed in laboratory studies). If the disease is not well controlled with the initial dose of XOMA 052, participants will have additional doses starting at day 7 until either the disease is controlled or researchers determine that the medication is not effective. - Participants will have the option to continue XOMA 052 treatments for up to 1 year.

| NCT01245127 ↗ | Ilaris (Canakinumab) in the Schnitzler Syndrome | Completed | Universitaire Ziekenhuizen Leuven | Phase 2 | 2011-05-01 | Schnitzler syndrome: Schnitzler syndrome is a rare disabling autoinflammatory syndrome characterized by a chronic urticarial rash and monoclonal gammopathy, accompanied by intermittent fever, arthralgia or arthritis or bone pain. Diagnostic criteria have been established. The disease never remits spontaneously. Although there is no standard of care, there have been promising developments in therapeutic options, especially anti-interleukin-1 therapy. Anakinra, a synthetic analogue of the endogenous interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, has caused rapid clinical remission in 24 patients with Schnitzler syndrome. However, to sustain remission, continuous daily administration (100 mg sc) is required. The level of monoclonal protein does not decrease. Side effects of anakinra include painful injection site reactions and neutropenia. Interleukin-1 and the autoinflammatory diseases: As a key proinflammatory cytokine mediating local and systemic responses to infection and tissue injury, interleukin-1 can induce a range of responses, including fever, pain sensitization, bone and cartilage destruction, and the acute-phase inflammatory response. The so-called autoinflammatory diseases are mediated entirely by interleukin-1; reducing interleukin-1 activity brings about a rapid and sustained remission. Autoinflammatory diseases include relatively uncommon disorders such as familial Mediterranean fever, adult and juvenile Still's disease, the hyper-IG D syndrome, Behçet's syndrome, the cryoporin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), deficiency of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (DIRA) and Schnitzler's syndrome. Some common conditions such as gout and type 2 diabetes, are also likely to be autoinflammatory diseases. Canakinumab: Canakinumab (Ilaris, Novartis Pharma) is a fully human anti-interleukin-1-bèta monoclonal antibody. Treatment with subcutaneous canakinumab (150 mg) once every 8 weeks was associated with a rapid remission of symptoms in the great majority of children and adults with CAPS. Serum inflammatory markers quickly returned to normal. In general, the side effects seen in this small study (35 patients) were not serious, though suspected infections ware significantly more prevalent in patients receiving canakinumab than in those receiving placebo. The prolonged duration of action of canakinumab and low incidence of injection-site reactions may confer certain advantages over other interleukin-1 inhibitors (anakinra and rilonacept), since both are frequently associated with injection-site reactions, and both require more frequent administration (daily for anakinra and weekly for rilonacept). Canakinumab was approved for the treatment of CAPS by the US Food and Drug Administration in June 2009 and by the European Medicines Agency in October 2009. Canakinumab is currently being evaluated for its potential in the treatment of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and difficult-to-treat gouty arthritis. |
