About this trial

The purpose of this study is to see if the study medication, daratumumab, is safe to treat individuals with Anti-Phospholipid Syndrome (APS).

Three daratumumab dosing cohorts are planned with up to six participants in each dosing cohort with the potential to enroll an additional 4 subjects in the highest safe dose (HSD) cohort, for a total of up to 22 participants. The dosing cohorts are: 4 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg, and 16 mg/kg. Each cohort will receive intravenous (IV) administration of daratumumab according to the following schedule, for a total of 8 doses.

The primary objective is to determine the safety of daratumumab in APS defined as Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) occurring during the dose escalation phase.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The proportion of participants in the dose escalation phase with at least one Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

Proportions will be estimated by dose cohort with 95% confidence intervals derived using the Clopper-Pearson exact method

Time frame
At or before week 9

Secondary outcomes

1

The proportion of Grade 2 or higher adverse event (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) related to daratumumab

The proportion of participants who experience at least one event will be estimated by dosing level with 90% confidence intervals derived using the Clopper-Pearson exact method

Time frame
At or before weeks 9, 24, and 48
2

The proportion of participants with the following Grade 3 or higher adverse events (AEs) related to daratumumab

Adverse events including: 1. Infusion reaction 2. Neutropenia 3. Thrombocytopenia 4. Infection

Time frame
At or before weeks 9, 24, and 48.
3

The proportion of participants with negative Lupus Anticoagulant (LA) test

For dichotomous endpoints, including the composite of (a) Negative LA test, and (b) fold-reduction in both aCL IgG and aß2GPI IgG, and the individual components, proportions will be reported with 90% confidence intervals derived using the Clopper-Pearson exact method

Time frame
At week 9
4

The proportion of participants with at least 50% reduction in Anticardiolipin antibodies Immunoglobulin G (aCL IgG)

For dichotomous endpoints, including the composite of (a) Negative LA test, and (b) fold-reduction in both aCL IgG and aß2GPI IgG, and the individual components, proportions will be reported with 90% confidence intervals derived using the Clopper-Pearson exact method

Time frame
At week 9 compared to week 0
