A Study to Test the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Rozanolixizumab in Adult Study Participants With Leucine-Rich Glioma Inactivated 1 Autoimmune Encephalitis

Overview

About this study

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of rozanolixizumab as measured by seizure freedom, change in cognitive function, use of rescue medication, onset of seizure freedom and to assess safety and tolerability.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate.

antibody

- Study participant must have ≥2 seizures/week during the Screening Period or have
experienced such seizures that stopped following high dose corticosteroids (500 to
1000 milligram (mg) methylprednisolone (MP) equivalent/day):

(partial) seizures including focal to bilateral tonic clonic

- Or focal (partial) seizures including focal to bilateral tonic clonic and fulfil
the following new-onset Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) criteria

- Study participant has initiated or re-initiated corticosteroids at a dose of 500 to
1000 mg MP equivalent/day within 42 days prior to randomization. Participants
re-initiating corticosteroids are eligible only if re-initiation is due to seizure
rebound and within the timeframe outlined. If the study participant has initiated a
steroid taper, the study participant cannot receive an oral steroid dose lower than
40mg/day when randomized

- Study participant with onset of disease symptom between 0 to 12 months prior to
Screening, per investigator's assessment.

- Study participant weighs at least 35 kg at Screening

- A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not
breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:

i) Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR ii) A WOCBP who agrees to follow
the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 90 days after
the final dose of study treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

- Study participant has a known hypersensitivity to any components of the study
medication or any other anti-neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) medications.

- Study participant has a confirmed prior diagnosis of epilepsy or new onset seizures
that are unrelated to LGI1 autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) or has any known or suspected
medical cause for the onset of seizures other than possible AIE

- Study participant has a known active neoplastic disease or history of neoplastic
disease within 5 years of study entry

- Study participant has renal impairment, defined as glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
<30mL/min/1.73m2 at the Screening Visit

- Study participant has a clinically important active infection (including unresoved or
not adequately treated infection) as assessed by investigator

- Study participant has a history of chronic ongoing infections

- Study participant has current unstable liver or biliary disease, per investigator
assessment, defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy, coagulopathy,
hypoalbuminemia, esophageal or gastric varices, persistent jaundice, or cirrhosis

- Study participant has a history of solid organ transplant or hematopoietic stem cell
transplant

- Study participant has undergone a splenectomy

- Study participant has a current or medical history of primary immune deficiency

- Study participant has received a live vaccination within 4 weeks prior to the Baseline
Visit; or intends to have a live vaccination during the course of the study or within
8 weeks following the final dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP)

- Study participant has previously received rozanolixizumab drug product

- Alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or alkaline phosphatase
(ALP) are >3x upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Study participant has a total IgG level ≤5.5 g/L at the Screening Visit

- Study participant has absolute neutrophil count <1500 cells/mm^3 at the Screening
Visit
