Multicenter, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Withdrawal Trial With Tadekinig Alfa (r-hIL-18BP) in Patients With IL-18 Driven Monogenic Autoinflammatory Conditions: NLRC4 Mutation and XIAP Deficiency

This is a Phase 3 study to assess the safety and efficacy of Tadekinig alfa in patients with
monogenic, interleukin-18 (IL 18) driven autoinflammation due to Nucleotide-binding
oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat and caspase recruiting domain (CARD domain)
containing 4 (NLRC4) - Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) mutation (NLRC4-MAS mutation) or
X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) deficiency. Because of the likelihood for pathogenic
IL-18 in certain monogenic diseases, patients known to harbor deleterious mutations in
NLRC4-MAS or XIAP and who have a history of ongoing inflammation will be enrolled if they
have ferritin ≥ 500 ng/mL or persistent C reactive protein (CRP) elevation ≥ 2 times the
upper limit of normal (ULN) and the patients should have a Modified Autoinflammatory Disease
Activity Index (mAIDAI) ≥ 4.

The study is designed with single-arm, open-label phase (SAOL) of Tadekinig alfa treatment
duration for 18-week followed by an 8-week Randomized Withdrawal (RW) period for efficacy and
safety evaluation, with no interruption between the two phases of treatment. The screening
period will occur before the SAOL phase and before the first dose of Investigational
Medicinal Product (IMP)

INCLUSION CRITERIA

1. Patients ≤ 17 years of age

2. Patients with genetic diagnosis of NLRC4-MAS mutation or XIAP deficiency (caused by
BIRC4 gene mutation)

3. Ferritin ≥ 500 ng/mL or persistent elevation of CRP ≥ 2x ULN and mAIDAI ≥4

4. Patients receiving stable doses of corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) or disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and/or IL-1
blockade for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment are allowed into the study. Patients
not receiving any of these treatments before start of therapy are also allowed

5. Women of childbearing potential with negative urine pregnancy test (UPT) at all visits

EXCLUSION CRITERIA

1. Patients > 17 years of age

2. Positive test for or prior history of HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C (serology)

3. Presence of active infections or a history of pulmonary TB infection with or without
documented adequate therapy

4. Presence of life threatening infections

5. Oncologic causes of symptoms; current or previous history of malignancy

6. Presence of CNS manifestations

7. Patients suffering from familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (f HLH)

8. Patients who are pregnant or nursing, women of childbearing potential who are
unwilling to use highly effective birth control methods

9. Concomitant use of immunosuppression therapies excluded by the protocol.

10. Patients and/or parents (or legal representative, if applicable) not willing to sign
assent/informed consent
