Summary

160 subjects with autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) will be randomized to receive once daily treatment with inhaled molgramostim or placebo for 48 weeks. Subjects completing the 48 week placebo-controlled period will receive open-label treatment with once daily inhaled molgramostim for 48 weeks.

Description

This is an interventional, randomized, double-blind, 2-arm, parallel groups, placebo-controlled, multi-center, phase 3 trial in adult subjects who are diagnosed with aPAP.

An aPAP diagnosis should be confirmed by an anti-GM-CSF auto-antibody test result, and history of PAP based on either high resolution computed tomography, lung biopsy, or bronchoalveolar lavage cytology, should be available.

The trial consists of a 6-week screening period, a 48-week randomized, double-blind treatment period, a 48-week open-label treatment period, and a conditional 4-week safety follow-up period. The maximum treatment duration will be 97 weeks and the maximum trial duration will be 108 weeks. During the trial, whole lung lavage will be allowed as rescue treatment in case of worsening of aPAP.

Eligibility

 Yes No Not Sure

Inclusion Criteria

Subject must be ≥18 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent (≥20 in Japan)
A serum anti-GM-CSF autoantibody test result confirming autoimmune PAP
History of PAP, based on examination of a lung biopsy, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cytology, or a high-resolution computed tomogram (HRCT) of the chest
DLCO 70% predicted or lower at the screening and baseline visits
Change in % predicted DLCO of <15% points during the screening period
Demonstrated functional impairment in the treadmill exercise test (defined as a peak MET ≤8)
Willing and able to come off supplemental oxygen use prior to and during the treadmill exercise test, the DLCO assessment, and the arterial blood gas sampling
Resting SpO2 >85% during 15 minutes without use of supplemental oxygen at the screening visits
Male or female
Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies
Male subjects: Males agreeing to use condoms during and until 30 days after last dose of trial treatment, or males having a female partner who is using adequate contraception as described below
Female subjects: Females who have been post-menopausal for >1 year, or females of childbearing potential after a confirmed menstrual period using a highly efficient method of contraception (i.e. a method with <1% failure rate such as combined hormonal contraception, progesterone-only hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner, sexual abstinence), during and until 30 days after last dose of trial treatment. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visits, and a negative urine pregnancy test at Baseline visit (Visit 3) and must not be lactating
Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix 1 which includes
Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other trial procedures specified in the protocol as judged by the Investigator
compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed
consent form (ICF) and in this protocol

Exclusion Criteria

Diagnosis of hereditary or secondary PAP, or a metabolic disorder of surfactant production
WLL performed within 3 months prior to baseline
Requirement for WLL at screening or baseline
GM-CSF treatment within 6 months prior to baseline
Treatment with rituximab within 6 months prior to baseline
Treatment with plasmapheresis within 6 weeks prior to baseline
Treatment with any investigational medicinal product within 5 half-lives or 3 months (whichever is longer) prior to baseline
Previously randomized in this trial
History of allergic reactions to GM-CSF or any of the excipients in the nebulizer solution
Inflammatory or autoimmune disease of a severity that necessitates significant (e.g. more than 10 mg/day systemic prednisolone) immunosuppression
Previous experience of severe and unexplained side-effects during aerosol delivery of any kind of medicinal product
History of, or present, myeloproliferative disease or leukemia
Apparent pre-existing concurrent pulmonary fibrosis
Acute or unstable cardiac or pulmonary disease that may be aggravated by exercise
Known active infection (viral, bacterial, fungal, or mycobacterial) that may affect the efficacy evaluation in the trial
Physical disability or other condition that precludes safe and adequate exercise testing
Any other serious medical condition which in the opinion of the Investigator would make the subject unsuitable for the trial
Pregnant, planning to become pregnant during the trial, or breastfeeding woman. For France only: including as further defined by French Health Code L-1121-5
For France only: Any subject considered to be "vulnerable" on account of, e.g., mental or physical disability, socio-economic situation, or subjects deprived of their liberty. For France only: including as further defined by French Health Code L1121-8-1
