New drug aims to tame rare inflammatory disease

NCT ID NCT05263934

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether a new drug, depemokimab, works as well as the current treatment mepolizumab for adults with a rare disease called EGPA, which causes inflammation of blood vessels. The study involves 163 participants and aims to see if depemokimab can help patients achieve remission while reducing their steroid use. Results are expected after 52 weeks of treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
depemokimab (compared to mepolizumab)
What this could lead to
If depemokimab works as well as mepolizumab, it could offer a new treatment option for EGPA, potentially with less frequent dosing.
What could go wrong
This is a non-inferiority trial, so depemokimab may not be better than the existing drug. Results are still pending, and individual responses may vary.
