Abstract:
LAVOLTA (L)I, LII and ACOUSTICS were randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, Phase 3 trials of lebrikizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-13, in patients with uncontrolled asthma (LI, NCT01867125; LII, NCT01868061; ACOUSTICS, NCT01875003). These studies failed to provide consistently significant efficacy results in uncontrolled asthma. This study aims to report pooled safety analysis of lebrikizumab in patients during the 52-week placebo-controlled period from the three clinical trials. Adults in LI and LII, adolescents (12–17 years) in ACOUSTICS, with uncontrolled asthma, prebronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s 40–90% predicted and stable background therapy were randomized 1 : 1 : 1 to lebrikizumab 125 or 37·5 mg or placebo (PBO) subcutaneously once every 4 weeks. Safety analyses were based on all patients who received at least one dose of study drug, with patients grouped by assigned treatment. Safety was assessed using summary of adverse events (AEs). The proportions of patients who experienced treatment-emergent AEs [combined lebrikizumab doses (LEB), 1281 (77%) of 1661 patients vs. PBO, 650 (78%) of 883 patients], serious AEs (7.6% vs. 8.5%) and AEs leading to study drug discontinuation (3.4% vs. 3.6%) were similar between LEB and PBO. One death occurred in the PBO group. Similar frequencies of key safety events, including conjunctivitis (LEB, 1.6%; PBO, 1.7%), infections and infestations (LEB, 51.6%; PBO, 50.7%), and eosinophil-related disorders (LEB, 0.2%; PBO, 0.2%) were noted; higher frequency of eosinophilia ( & gt;500 eosinophils/mm3) was reported (LEB, 1.1%; PBO, 0%). The safety profile was similar between lebrikizumab and placebo in adults and adolescents with uncontrolled asthma.
