Trial Overview

Outcome

Primary endpoint met - positive

Purpose

The purpose of this trial is to confirm if benralizumab can reduce oral corticosteroid (OCS) dependence (after dose optimisation) in patients who are uncontrolled on high-dose inhaled corticosteroid-long-acting beta agonist, and chronically dependent on OCS as part of their regular asthma controller regimen.

Comments

Health Canada has approved Fasenra (benralizumab injection) as an add-on maintenance treatment for adult patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, based on results from the WINDWARD clinical program.
Based on the data from SIROCCO CALIMA and ZONDA, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved FASENRA™ (benralizumab) for the add-on maintenance treatment of patients with severe asthma aged 12 years and older, and with an eosinophilic phenotype. The European Commission (EC) has also approved Fasenra (benralizumab) as an add-on maintenance treatment in adult patients with severe eosinophilic asthma inadequately controlled despite high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus long-acting beta-agonists. In January 2018, Fasnera has been approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

ZONDA is part of the phase III Windward programme for benralizumab for severe uncontrolled asthma. Other studies in the programme include CALIMA, SIROCCO, PAMPERO and BORA [see trial profiles 700235439, 700236411, 700237155 and 700238596]. The data from ZONDA, SIROCCO and CALIMA trials were included in regulatory submission for benralizumab which is under regulatory review in the US, EU, Japan and several other countries with a US PDUFA data in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Subjects must be on doses equivalent to 7.5 - 40 mg/day of prednisolone/prednisone at Visit 1 and be on a stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to randomization. Patients must agree to switch to study required prednisone/prednisolone as their oral corticosteroid for the duration of the study. 7. Patients with documented failures of OCS reduction within 6 months prior to Visit 1 will not be required to proceed through the dose optimization phase during run-in. 8. Morning pre-bronchodilator (Pre-BD) FEV1 of <80% predicted 9. Evidence of asthma as documented by either: Airway reversibility (FEV1 ≥12% and 200 mL) demonstrated at Visit 1, Visit 2, or Visit 3 using the Maximum Post-bronchodilator Procedure OR Documented reversibility in the previous 24 months prior to Visit 1 OR Airway hyperresponsiveness (PC20 FEV1 methacholine concentration ≤8mg/mL) documented in the previous 12 months prior to planned date of randomization OR Airflow variability in clinic FEV1 ≥20% between 2 consecutive clinic visits documented in the 12 months prior to the planned date of randomization (FEV1 recorded during an exacerbation should not be considered for this criterion).

Results

Therapeutic efficacy

Pooled analysis : Pooled data from the patients severe eosinophilic asthma in the phase III SIROCCO/CALIMA/BORA and ZONDA trials showed that treatment with benralizumab, led to a sustained improvement in the exacerbation rates, lung function, asthma control and health-related quality of life of the patients for up to two years. Improvements in prebronchodilator FEV1, ACQ-6 scores, and AQLQ+12 scores were reported in the trials. Benralizumab also reduced the use of oral corticosteroids (OCS) in these patients. The integrated analysis 1,030 patients in the SIROCCO/CALIMA/BORA full analysis set and 131 patients in the ZONDA/BORA analysis set. Among patients in the ZONDA and BORA trials, after 84 weeks, about 75% of patients experienced at least a 50% reduction in the OCS dosages from baseline and 39% of patients had at least a 90% reduction. By the end of the study OCS dosage was reduced by 67%, which was similar to reductions seen in the ZONDA trial of 75% from baseline compared with 25% for placebo. Results were reported from a total of 1,161 patients [3] .

Results from the phase III ZONDA study demonstrated that the trial met its primary efficacy endpoint with statistically significant reductions in daily maintenance oral corticosteroid doses as compared to the placebo group. Median reduction in the OCS dose was 75% for patients treated with benralizumab versus 25% with placebo. Patients treated with benralizumab were four times more likely to reduce OCS dose relative to placebo. Out of the benralizumab-treated patients, 66% patients reduced OCS doses by about 50% compared to 37% patients receiving placebo. Thirty seven percent of benralizumab-treated patients reduced OCS doses by =90% compared to 12% receiving placebo. Fifty two percent of benralizumab patients, eligible to discontinue OCS use per protocol stopped OCS use completely, relative to 19% receiving placebo. There was a reduction of 70% in the overall annual exacerbation rate relative to placebo while a reduction of 93% in emergency room visits or hospitalisations due to exacerbations was observed in the benralizumab group compared to the placebo group [4] .

Adverse events

Pooled analysis : Pooled data from the patients severe eosinophilic asthma in the phase III SIROCCO/CALIMA/BORA and ZONDA trials showed that safety profile of benralizumab was similar to that observed in individual trials, with no increase in the frequencies of overall or serious adverse events. Viral upper respiratory infection, upper respiratory tract infection and bronchitis were the three most common adverse events reported for patients in the SIROCCO or CALIMA trials and entered the BORA study. Rates of all treatment-emergent adverse events and serious AEs observed in SIROCCO/CALIMA FAS and ZONDA groups, were similar with that of BORA extension and SIROCCO/CALIMA and ZONDA study periods. No increase in risk of infection over time were observed with benralizumab, and the malignancy rate was low. Results were reported from a total of 1,161 patients [5] [3] .

Results from the phase III ZONDA trial demonstrated that benralizumab was generally well tolerated and displayed a safety profile similar to that of placebo and consistent with previous phase III studies. The most common adverse events (=10%) in benralizumab-treated patients were nasopharyngitis, worsening asthma and bronchitis [4] .
