Background and study aims
ANCA (Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody )-associated renal vasculitis (AAV) is an autoimmune disease involving multiple organs including the kidneys. It is caused by abnormal antibodies (autoantibodies) that attack a certain type of white blood cell (neutrophils) and can cause those neutrophils to stick to and destroy the inside walls of small blood vessels in tissue and internal organs. Standard treatment for the condition includes cyclophosphamide or rituximab plus corticosteroids. However, the complement C5a receptor CCX168 has been shown to work in mice suffering from ANCA-induced glomerulonephritis and there are encouraging results from another clinical trial involving patients with AAV. Here, we want to compare the safety and performance of two different doses of CCX168 in patients with AAV. while they continue to receive the ‘standard of care’ (SOC) IV cyclophosphamide treatment, and varying doses of a prednisone or prednisone placebo.

Who can participate?
Adults aged at least 18 diagnosed with AAV.

What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to one of three groups. Those in group A are given 20mg CCX168 twice a day plus their SOC treatment for 12 weeks. Those in group B are given 30mg of CCX168 twice a day plus their SOC treatment for 12 weeks. Those in group C are given a placebo twice a day plus their SOC treatment for 12 weeks. This is followed by a 12 week follow-up period assessing the success of the treatment.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
CCX168 has already been tested on healthy subjects in one study and patients with AAV in another. One of the purposes of this research study is to investigate the effects of CCX168 on vasculitis (AAV) disease activity in patients. It is possible that CCX168 may have a beneficial effect. However, there is no guarantee that any individual participant will be given CCX168 rather than placebo in this study, and there is no guarantee that CCX168 will be beneficial in the treatment of their condition. The most common side effects are headache, diarrhoea, dizziness, lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and sore throat.

Scientific titleA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose assessment Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CCX168 in subjects with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis
Study acronymCLASSIC (Clinical ANCA Vasculitis Safety and Efficacy Study of Inhibitor of C5aR)
Study objectivesTest whether CCX168 plus standard of care treatment is safe and efficacious in patients with AAV.
Ethics approval(s)Sterling IRB, Atlanta, Georgia, 26/08/2014, IRB ID#: 4839-001
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV)
InterventionCCX168 (10 or 30 mg) twice daily plus standard of care (cyclophosphamide/rituximab plus corticosteroids). Following the 84-day dosing period, there will be an 84-day follow-up period.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureSafety and efficacy of CCX168 in subjects with AAV on SOC cyclophosphamide or rituximab plus corticosteroid treatment. Efficacy is evaluated based on the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS). BVAS assessments will be made on Days 1, 29, 85, 113, and 169.
Secondary outcome measures1. Efficacy of CCX168 compared to SOC based on changes in eGFR, Hematuria and Albuminuria will be assessed on Days 1, 2, 8, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, 113, 141, and 169.
2. Assessment of changes in renal inflammatory activity based on MCP-1:creatinine ratio and serum C-reactive protein concentrations with CCX168 compared to SOC will be completed on Days 1 (prior to dosing), 8, 15, 29, 57, 85, 113, and 169.
3. Assessment of health-related quality-of-life changes based on SF-36v2 and EQ-5D-5L with CCX168 compared to SOC will completed on Days 1, 29, 85, and 169.
4. Assessment of changes in VDI with CCX168 compared to SOC, made on Days 1, 85, and 169.
5. Assessment of changes in ANCA (anti-PR3 and anti-MPO) with CCX168 compared to SOC will be made on Days 1 (prior to dosing), 29, 85, 113, and 169.
