Therapeutic Use of Tadekinig Alfa in NLRC4 Mutation and XIAP Deficiency As Open Label Extension
brief summary
This is an open-label extension study for patients previously enrolled in the AB2 Bio Ltd. ongoing Phase III clinical trial NLRC4/XIAP.2016.001 (IND N° 127953). This OLE study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of Tadekinig alfa in patients suffering from pediatric monogenic autoinflammatory diseases harboring deleterious mutations of NLRC4 and XIAP.
detailed description
Pediatric auto-inflammatory conditions related to spontaneous activating mutations of the NLRC4 and with recurrent MAS-like flares with constitutive IL-18 hypersecretion, may require long-term blockade of the IL-18 pathway.
Patients with X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) deficiency and suffering from Hemophagocytic-Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a MAS-like syndrome, also show high levels of serum IL-18 and may benefit from IL-18 blockade treatment until a curative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be performed The safety of IL-18 blockade during long-term periods is of major interest for the treatment of these patients
