Abstract

Background: CLE represents an unmet medical need with no approved therapy. BIIB059, a humanized monoclonal antibody, binds to BDCA2 and inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators production, including type I interferons. BIIB059 was evaluated in Phase 1 studies NCT02106897 and NCT03224793. LILAC is a 2-part Phase 2 study: Part A enrolled SLE pts; Part B enrolled pts with active CLE (NCT02847598).

Objectives: Evaluate efficacy and safety of BIIB059 in pts enrolled in Part B at Week 16, end of treatment (EOT) period.

Methods: Pts with active CLE, SCLE and/or CCLE and adjudicated Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index – Activity (CLASI-A) ≥8 were enrolled and randomized to receive either BIIB059 (50, 150 or 450 mg) or placebo (PBO) s.c. Q4W. Primary endpoint was dose response defined by % change in CLASI-A score from baseline (BL) to Week 16. Secondary endpoints included CLASI-50 response rate and ≥ 7-point reduction in CLASI-A score from baseline to EOT. Adverse events and serious adverse events were recorded throughout the study.

Results: 132 pts with active CLE were randomized. The study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a dose response (p= 0.0005) and a statistically significant difference in % change from BL in CLASI-A score in BIIB059-treated pts vs PBO. Table 1 and Table 2 summarize efficacy and safety results, respectively.

Conclusion: BIIB059 administration to pts with active CLE resulted in statistically significant dose-related improvement in disease activity vs PBO with no untoward safety signals. Further development of BIIB059 in CLE is warranted.
