Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Annualized Rate of Moderate to Severe Acute Exacerbation Events in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD) Participants
From Baseline up to Week 52

Moderate exacerbations events were recorded by the investigator and defined as AECOPD that require either systemic corticosteroids (such as intramuscular, intravenous or oral) and/or antibiotics. Severe exacerbations events were defined as AECOPD requiring hospitalization, emergency medical care visit or resulting in death. Annualized event rate was the total number of exacerbations that occurred during the treatment period divided by the total number of participant-years treated.

Percentage of Participants With Loss of Asthma Control
From Baseline up to Week 12

An LOAC event during the 12-week treatment period was a deterioration of asthma defined as any of the following: a) 30 percent (%) or greater reduction from baseline in morning peak expiratory flow (PEF) on 2 consecutive days; b) greater than or equal to (\>=) 6 additional reliever puffs of salbutamol/albuterol or levosalbutamol/levalbuterol in a 24-hour period (compared to baseline) on 2 consecutive days; c) increase in inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) \>=4 times the last prescribed ICS dose (or \>=50% of the prescribed ICS dose at Baseline if background therapy withdrawal completed); d) required use of systemic (oral and/or parenteral) steroid treatment; e) required hospitalization or emergency room visit.

Frequently asked questions about SAR440340

What is SAR440340 used for?

SAR440340 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of moderate-to-severe asthma and moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What does SAR440340 target?

SAR440340 is an anti-IL-33 monoclonal antibody, meaning it targets the interleukin-33 (IL-33) pathway. By binding to IL-33, it is designed to modulate inflammatory responses implicated in respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD.

Who is developing SAR440340?

SAR440340 is being developed by Sanofi, a global biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol SNY. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in respiratory indications.

What phase is SAR440340 in?

SAR440340 is in Phase 2 clinical development. Two Phase 2 trials have been completed, one in asthma and one in COPD. The drug is investigational and has not received FDA approval or any other regulatory approval.

What clinical trials is SAR440340 in?

SAR440340 has been studied in two completed Phase 2 trials: NCT03387852, which evaluated the drug alone and in combination with dupilumab in 296 participants with moderate-to-severe asthma, and NCT03546907, a proof-of-concept study in 343 participants with moderate-to-severe COPD.

Is SAR440340 the same as an anti-IL-33 antibody?

Yes, SAR440340 is described as an anti-IL-33 monoclonal antibody in clinical trial documentation. This means it is designed to bind to and neutralize interleukin-33, a cytokine involved in inflammatory responses. The drug is being investigated for asthma and COPD.
