Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Modified Rodnan Skin Score to Week 24
Baseline, Week 24

mRSS, an accepted clinical measure of the skin thickness (fibrosis). Investigator physicians or qualified medical personnel assessed the thickening of skin in 17 skin sites including fingers, hands, forearms, arms, feet, legs and thighs, face, chest and abdomen. Each skin site was rated on a 0-3 scale; where 0 = normal skin, 1 = mild thickness, 2 = moderate thickness and 3 = severe thickness. Total mRSS ranged from 0 (no thickening) to 51 (severe thickening in all 17 areas), where higher score indicated more severity of skin thickening/worst outcome.

Absolute Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 52
Baseline, Week 52

FVC is a standard pulmonary function parameter measured by spirometry and used to quantify respiratory capacity (inspiration and expiration). It is a widely used objective measure of disease status in participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The primary variable was recorded as percent (%) of predicted value, which takes into account the height, gender, and age of the participant. The outcome measure measured the change in lung function from baseline at week 52.

Frequently asked questions about SAR156597

What is SAR156597?

SAR156597 is an investigational biologic drug developed by Sanofi for respiratory and fibrotic diseases. It has been studied in Phase 2 clinical trials for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and diffuse systemic sclerosis. It is a bispecific antibody that binds IL4 and IL13, two cytokines involved in inflammation and fibrosis. It is not approved for any indication.

What is SAR156597 used for in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis?

SAR156597 was studied as a treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive scarring disease of the lungs. A Phase 2 trial, NCT02345070, evaluated its efficacy and safety in 327 patients with IPF. A smaller Phase 1 study, NCT01529853, examined different doses in 24 IPF patients. Both trials are completed.

What does SAR156597 target?

SAR156597 targets IL4 and IL13, two signaling proteins that drive inflammation and tissue fibrosis. It is a bispecific monoclonal antibody designed to block both targets simultaneously. By neutralizing IL4 and IL13 activity, the drug aims to reduce the fibrotic and inflammatory processes underlying conditions such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis.

Who is developing SAR156597?

SAR156597 is developed by Sanofi, the French pharmaceutical company whose shares trade under the ticker SNY. Sanofi sponsored the clinical trials evaluating the drug in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and diffuse systemic sclerosis. No partnership or licensing arrangement for SAR156597 is disclosed in the available trial records.

What phase is SAR156597 in?

SAR156597 is in Phase 2 development. Two Phase 2 trials have been completed: NCT02345070 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and NCT02921971 in diffuse systemic sclerosis. A Phase 1 dose study, NCT01529853, was also completed. SAR156597 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is SAR156597 in?

SAR156597 has been evaluated in three completed trials. NCT02345070 was a Phase 2 study of 327 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. NCT02921971 was a Phase 2 study of 97 patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis. NCT01529853 was a Phase 1 dose evaluation in 24 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
