Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Phase II: Relative Change From Baseline in Oxygenation Index in Supine Position at Day 5 (FAS)
Baseline and Day 5

Relative change (%) from baseline in Oxygenation Index (OI; partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood (PaO2) / fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2)) in supine position for ≥2 hours at day 5 (FAS)

Phase III: 28-day All-cause Mortality (FAS)
Day 28

Number and percentage of deaths (all-cause) until Day 28 (FAS)

Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Related TEAEs, Serious TEAEs, and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)
From treatment start until end of study (including observational visits), an average of 249 days

Number of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), related TEAEs, serious TEAEs, and adverse events of special interest (AESIs) TEAEs are defined as adverse events that start at or after the first administration of study drug. Related TEAEs are defined as all TEAEs considered by the investigator to have at least a 'possible' relationship with the study drug. AESIs are defined as infusion-related reactions, including acute and delayed hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions during or after infusion; Meningitis; Meningococcal septicaemia; Invasive infection. As adverse events will be reported in details in the safety section, no separate reporting on System Organ Class (SOC) or Preferred Term (PT) level etc. is done here.

Percentage of Subjects Achieving Clinical Response
Baseline, Week 16

Efficacy Endpoint: Percentage of subjects achieving clinical response (reduction in Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score version 3 \[BVASv3\] of ≥50% compared to baseline and no worsening in any body system). Subjects who received rescue therapy after Day 1 or discontinued due to related adverse event, lack of efficacy or progressive disease are considered as non-responders at all subsequent visits. The BVASv3 score ranges from 0 to 63 with higher values representing higher disease activity.

Number of Patients With Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) Determined at Week 16
Week 16

The primary efficacy endpoint of the percentage of patients with HiSCR at Week 16 was analyzed using the multiple comparisons procedure-modelling (MCP-Mod) procedure. The definition for response to treatment based on HiSCR relative to Baseline was: at least 50% reduction in abscesses and inflammatory nodule (AN) count (over all anatomical regions) with no increase in number of abscesses and in number of draining fistulas.

Number of patients with at least possibly related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
up to Day 134
Number of patients with detection of anti-drug antibodies (pre-/post-dosing)
up to Day 134
Peak level of IL-6

Frequently asked questions about vilobelimab

What is vilobelimab used for?

Vilobelimab is being developed for the treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum, a rare inflammatory skin condition that causes painful, rapidly growing ulcers. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved for commercial use. InflaRx N.V. holds an orphan drug designation from the FDA for this program.

What does vilobelimab target?

Vilobelimab targets complement factor C5, a protein in the complement system that drives inflammatory responses. Vilobelimab is a monoclonal antibody that acts as an inhibitor of C5. By binding C5, it is designed to block the complement-mediated inflammation thought to contribute to pyoderma gangrenosum lesions.

Who is developing vilobelimab?

Vilobelimab is being developed by InflaRx N.V., a biopharmaceutical company that trades under the ticker IFRX. InflaRx is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating vilobelimab in pyoderma gangrenosum. The company holds orphan drug designation from the FDA for this indication.

What phase is vilobelimab in for pyoderma gangrenosum?

Vilobelimab is in Phase 2 development for pyoderma gangrenosum. The program includes one completed Phase 2 trial. Vilobelimab is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The FDA has granted orphan drug designation for the pyoderma gangrenosum program.

What clinical trials is vilobelimab in?

Vilobelimab has been studied in the Phase 2 trial NCT03971643, titled Exploratory Study of IFX-1 in Patients With Pyoderma Gangrenosum. The trial enrolled 19 patients across the United States, Canada, and Poland, and it is now completed. Participants were adults aged 18 years and older.

Is vilobelimab the same as IFX-1?

Yes, vilobelimab is also known as IFX-1. The Phase 2 trial in pyoderma gangrenosum was conducted under the IFX-1 name, which is reflected in the study title NCT03971643. Both names refer to the same monoclonal antibody developed by InflaRx N.V. for complement C5 inhibition.
