Key information

About this study

This study is open-label, multicentre, basket study to evaluate the safety, PK, pharmacodynamic (PD), efficacy, and immunogenicity of repeat dosing of benralizumab subcutaneous (SC) every 4 weeks (Q4W) in male and female children with rare eosinophilic diseases.

Paediatric participants with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) will be enrolled in the first cohort.

Paediatric participants with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) will be enrolled in the second cohort. Additional cohorts in other eosinophilic diseases may be added in future protocol amendments.

The study consists of 3 periods:

  • Screening period: 1 to 4 weeks
  • Open-label treatment period: 52 weeks
  • Open-label extension period: at least 52 weeks (plus safety follow-up [SFU] weeks after last investigational product [IP] administration)

All eligible participants will receive benralizumab SC Q4W during the 52-week open-label treatment period.

All participants who complete the 52-week open-label treatment period on IP will be offered the opportunity to continue into an extension period. The extension period is intended to allow each participant at least an additional one year of treatment with benralizumab.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

All Cohorts:

  • Male or female participants must be aged 6 to < 18 years of age at the time of signing the assent form and their caregiver signing the informed consent form.
  • Body weight greater than (>=) 15 kilograms (kg).

EGPA Cohort:

  • Therapy with corticosteroids: The prescribed dose of oral corticosteroids (OCS) (greater than [>] 0.1 milligrams per kilogram per day (mg/kg/day), max dose of 50 milligrams per day (mg/day) must be stable (that is, no adjustment of the dose) for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline (Visit 2).
  • Immunosuppressive therapy: If receiving immunosuppressive therapy, the dosage must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline (Visit 2).

HES Cohort:

  • Documented HES diagnosis, defined as history of persistent eosinophilia >1500 cells/µL without secondary cause on 2 examinations ≥1 month apart and evidence of eosinophil-mediated organ involvement.
  • Symptomatic active HES, or history of a prior flare, or considered eligible based on disease severity per investigator judgement.
  • AEC ≥1000 cells/µL at screening (Visit 1).
  • Documented negative testing for Fip1-like 1 gene fused with the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha gene (FIP1L1-PDGFR) fusion tyrosine kinase gene translocation.

Exclusion criteria

All Cohorts:

  • Any current malignancy or history of malignancy.
  • History of anaphylaxis to any biologic therapy or vaccine.
  • Known, pre-existing, clinically significant endocrine, autoimmune, metabolic, neurological, renal, gastrointestinal, hepatic, haematological, respiratory, or any other system abnormalities.
  • Previous receipt of benralizumab in an interventional clinical study.

EGPA Cohort:

  • Diagnosed with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (previously known as Wegener'granulomatosis) or microscopic polyangiitis.
  • EGPA relapse: any deterioration in EGPA and/or organ-threatening EGPA that per Investigator judgement renders participants unstable in their EGPA within 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1) and through first administration of IP at baseline (Visit 2).
  • Life-threatening EGPA: imminently life-threatening EGPA disease within 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1) and through first administration of IP at baseline (Visit 2), as per Investigator judgement.

HES Cohort:

  • Life-threatening HES or HES complications, as judged by the investigator.
  • Hypereosinophilia of unknown significance (HE-US).
  • Diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis.

Treatment and study plan

Benralizumab

Drug

Benralizumab will be administered as SC injection on Q4W.

Other names: FASENRA

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: From screening (Week -4 to -1) until Week 52

    The safety and tolerability of benralizumab will be evaluated.

  2. Serum Concentrations of Benralizumab

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 25, 36, and 52

    The PK of benralizumab will be evaluated.

Secondary outcomes

  1. EGPA Cohort: Percentage of Participants with Remission at Week 24

    Time frame: At Week 24

    Remission defined as Paediatric Vasculitis Activity Score (PVAS) = 0 and oral corticosteroid (OCS) intake less than or equal to (<=) 0.1 mg/kg/day.

  2. Number of Participants with Positive Antidrug Antibody (ADA)

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 52

    The immunogenicity of benralizumab will be evaluated.

  3. Change From Baseline in Peripheral Blood Eosinophil Count

    Time frame: From Baseline to Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, 52

    The PD effect of benralizumab on peripheral blood eosinophil count will be evaluated.

  4. EGPA Cohort: Time to First EGPA Relapse

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

    The efficacy of benralizumab on time to first relapse will be assessed. EGPA relapse will be defined as worsening or persistence of active disease since the last visit characterized by: a) Active vasculitis (PVAS > 0); OR b) Worsening of asthma symptoms (based on Asthma Control Questionnaire - Interviewer Administered [ACQ-IA]); OR c) Active nasal and/or sinus disease with worsening in at least one sino-nasal symptom question warranting any of the following: 1) Increase OCS; OR 2) Increase/addition of immunosuppressive medication; OR 3) Hospitalisation related to EGPA worsening.

  5. HES Cohort: Time to first HES worsening/flare

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

    The effect of benralizumab on HES worsening/flares will be evaluated.

  6. HES Cohort: Percentage of participants who experience a HES worsening/flare

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

    The effect of benralizumab on HES worsening/flares will be evaluated.

  7. HES Cohort: Number of HES worsening/flares (annualised rate/year)

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

    The effect of benralizumab on HES worsening/flares will be evaluated. The annualised HES worsening/flare rate will be calculated as follows:

    The total number of flares *365.25 / total duration of follow-up in the treatment period (days).

  8. HES Cohort: Percentage of Participants requiring an increase in corticosteroid dose

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

    The effect of benralizumab on corticosteroid use will be evaluated.

  9. HES Cohort: Time to first haematologic relapse

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

    The time to first haematologic relapse will be defined as the time from first dose of IP to the first post baseline visit with Absolute eosinophil count [AEC] ≥ 1000 cells/uL.

  10. HES Cohort: Percentage of Participants with haematologic relapse

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

    The effect of benralizumab on haematologic measures of disease activity will be evaluated.

  11. HES Cohort: Percentage of Participants who have AEC < 500 cells/μL for 24 weeks

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

    The effect of benralizumab on haematologic measures of disease activity will be evaluated.

  12. HES Cohort: Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) Score

    Time frame: Weeks 12, 24, 36 and 48

    The effect of benralizumab on participant/caregiver reported measures of disease severity and health status will be assessed. The PGI-C instrument captures the participant's overall evaluation of response to treatment, and rated on a 7-point PGI-C scale ranging from 1 ('much better') to 7 ('much worse').
