Pharming Group announces first patient dosed in Phase II clinical trial of leniolisib for common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) with immune dysregulation
Pharming Group N.V. announces that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase II, proof of concept, clinical trial evaluating leniolisib in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients with immune dysregulation.
Multi-center clinical trial includes sites located in the US, UK and EU
Second Phase II clinical trial studying leniolisib for additional primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs)
CVID patients demonstrate clinical phenotypes similar to APDS, with global prevalence estimated at approximately 39 per million
The Phase II clinical trial is a single arm, open-label, dose range-finding, multi-center study to be conducted in approximately 20 patients 12 years of age and older. The trial will include patients with a CVID diagnosis, a requirement for evidence of lymphoproliferation, and at least one additional clinical manifestation of immune dysregulation, including interstitial lung disease, autoimmune cytopenias, or enteropathy. The objectives for the trial are to assess safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and explore clinical efficacy of leniolisib in the targeted CVID with immune dysregulation population. The trial has been designed to inform a subsequent Phase III program. The lead investigator for the Phase II study is Jocelyn Farmer, M.D./PhD, Director of the Clinical Immunodeficiency Program of Beth Israel Lahey Health (Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington, MA), with additional clinical sites in the US, UK and EU.
