New drug aims to tame rare blood disorder flares
NCT ID NCT05334368
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called depemokimab in adults with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), a rare condition where too many eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) cause organ damage. The trial includes 123 people whose HES is not well controlled despite standard therapy. Participants receive either depemokimab or a placebo for 52 weeks, and researchers track how many disease flares occur.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- depemokimab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, depemokimab could offer a new option to help control HES and reduce the number of disease flares.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet known. The drug may not reduce flares more than placebo, and side effects are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants who are greater than or equal (\>=) 40 kilogram (kg) at Screening Visit 1. * Participants who have a documented diagnosis of HES prior to Visit 2. * A history of 2 or more HES flares within the past 12 months prior to Visit 1. * A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and one of the following conditions applies: a) woman of non-childbearing potential (WONCBP) Or b) woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective, with a failure rate of less than (\<) 1 percentage (%). * Capable of giving signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with HES disease manifestations which in the opinion of the investigator may put the participant at unacceptable risk from study participation or confound interpretation of efficacy or safety data. * Participants with chronic or ongoing active infections requiring systemic treatment or a pre-existing parasitic infestation within 6 months prior to Visit 1. * Participants with a known immunodeficiency (e.g., Human Immunodeficiency Virus \[HIV\]), other than that explained by the use of OCS or other therapy taken for HES. * Participants with a history of or current lymphoma. * Participants with current malignancy or previous history of cancer in remission for less than 5 years prior to Visit 1. Participants that had localized carcinoma (i.e., basal or squamous cell) of the skin which was resected for cure will not be excluded. * Participants with a haematologic malignancy with hypereosinophilia in which HES is not the primary diagnosis, e.g., chronic myeloid leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic eosinophilic leukaemia-not otherwise specified. * Cirrhosis or current unstable liver or biliary disease per investigator assessment. * Participants who have severe or clinically significant cardiovascular disease uncontrolled with standard treatment. * Participants with current diagnosis of vasculitis. * Hypereosinophila with no clinical symptoms and/or proof of organ dysfunction. * Clinical diagnosis of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). * Participants with an allergy/ intolerance to a monoclonal antibody or biologic, or any of the excipients of the investigational product. * Participants who have a previous documented failure with anti-interleukin (IL)-5/5R therapy. * Participants who have received monoclonal antibodies (mAb) within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to Visit 1. * Participants who test positive for the FIP1L1-PDGFRα fusion gene. * QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≥450 milliseconds (msec) or QTcF ≥480 msec for participants with Bundle Branch Block at Screening Visit 1. * Participants who are not responsive to OCS based on clinical response or blood eosinophil counts in the opinion of the Investigator. * Participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
