| NCT00086658 ↗ | Intravenous Mepolizumab In Subjects With Hypereosinophilic Syndromes (HES) | Completed | GlaxoSmithKline | Phase 3 | 2004-03-23 | Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disease with broad clinical signs and symptoms which is diagnosed based on a persistent blood eosinophil count of greater than 1500 cells, various end-organ damages (including skin, heart, lung, nervous system and digestive system etc.), and with exclusion of known secondary causes of hypereosinophilia. HES has a high morbidity/mortality rate. The major treatment of HES has been systemic corticosteroid and other chemotherapeutic drugs (for example, hydroxyurea and interferon) with the intention to lower eosinophil counts and therefore to slow down the progression of disease. Even though corticosteroid and other therapies can effectively reduce eosinophilia in some patients, some may eventually become nonresponsive and intolerable to the amount of side effects of the long-term therapy with these medications. Mepolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to human interleukin 5 (hIL-5) and inhibits its activity. Previous human experience has shown it has been effective in reducing blood eosinophilia in atopic and HES patients and has alleviated some HES clinical signs and symptoms. This study intends to further evaluate the corticosteroid-sparing and clinical benefit of mepolizumab in HES. |
| NCT00097370 ↗ | Open-Label Extension Of Intravenous Mepolizumab In Patients With Hypereosinophilic Syndrome | Terminated | GlaxoSmithKline | Phase 3 | 2004-09-30 | This is an open label study of mepolizumab 750 mg intravenous in those subjects who participated in study 100185 to evaluate the long term safety and efficacy of mepolizumab in subjects with hypereosinophilic syndrome. The study will also evaluate the optimal dosing frequency for clinical use, the effects on corticosteroid reduction, and decrease of signs and symptoms of Hypereosinophilic Syndrome. |
| NCT00244686 ↗ | This Record Contains Information About the Mepolizumab Compassionate Use (CU) Product Activities: 104317: CU and Long-Term Access Study of Mepolizumab in HES. 201956:A Long-term Access Programme for Subjects With Severe Asthma 112562: Expanded Acces | No longer available | GlaxoSmithKline | 1969-12-31 | 104317: The market authorisation application for mepolizumab for the indication of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) was filed in 2008, but later the file was withdrawn due to outstanding questions from regulator's raised from the application. On the basis of sponsor's evaluation, participants with life-threatening HES who have documented failure (lack of efficacy or a contra-indication) to at least 3 standard HES therapies (compassionate use) and participants who have participated in a previous GSK sponsored study in HES (long-term access) can be consider for mepolizumab treatment where the country regulation permits. In this study, participants will receive mepolizumab in an open-labelled manner, and limited data will be collected to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of mepolizumab. 201956: This is a Long-term Access Programme (LAP) which aims to support provision of mepolizumab, until it is commercially available, to eligible subjects with severe asthma who participated in a GSK-sponsored mepolizumab clinical study in severe asthma. Eligible subjects will initiate mepolizumab within a 6-month period following the individual subject's last scheduled visit in their preceding clinical study. For each subject benefit versus risk will be assessed throughout the study to support continued treatment with mepolizumab. 112562: To provide a mechanism for expanded access to mepolizumab therapy for eligible patients with HES. Whenever possible, use of an investigational medicinal product by a patient as part of a clinical trial is preferable. However, when patient enrollment in a clinical trial is not possible (such as when the patient is not eligible for ongoing clinical trials or the patient is not able to attend investigational sites), appropriate patients may receive mepolizumab through expanded access. This expanded access protocol was designed to allow access to mepolizumab for HES patients with seriously debilitating or life-threatening disease that are not able to enroll in clinical trials, including those patients that have already participated in a mepolizumab clinical trial. | |
| NCT00266565 ↗ | Anti-Interleukin-5 (IL-5) Study for Hypereosinophilic Syndrome | Completed | Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati | Phase 1/Phase 2 | 2001-12-01 | Toxicity of anti-IL-5 |
| NCT00274703 ↗ | An Evaluation Of Mepolizumab In Therapy Of Eosinophilic Oesophagitis In Adult Patients | Completed | GlaxoSmithKline | Phase 2 | 2005-12-01 | Eosinophils play a key role in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic oesophagitis. Therapies that suppress eosinophil recruitment and activation may give a benefit. Mepolizumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody against interleukin-5 (IL-5). This study will evaluate the ability of mepolizumab to decrease the recruitment and infiltration of eosinophils into the oesophagus, thereby reducing the inflammation and symptoms of EE (eosinophilic oesophagitis) in adult patients. |
| NCT00358449 ↗ | Intravenous Mepolizumab In Children With Eosinophilic Esophagitis | Completed | GlaxoSmithKline | Phase 2 | 2006-09-11 | This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of intravenous mepolizumab in pediatric subjects with eosinophilic esophagitis. |
