Objective To report efficacy and safety results from ADHERE/ADHERE+ trials.

Background Efgartigimod, a human immunoglobulin G (IgG)1 antibody Fc fragment, blocks the neonatal Fc receptor, decreasing IgG recycling and reducing pathogenic IgG autoantibody levels. The multi-stage, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized-withdrawal ADHERE study, and ongoing, open-label extension ADHERE+ study assessed the efficacy and safety of efgartigimod PH20 subcutaneous (SC; coformulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20) in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).

Design/Methods Enrolled participants with CIDP (off treatment or on standard treatments withdrawn during run-in period) had active disease and received weekly efgartigimod PH20 SC 1000 mg (stage A). Responders were randomized (1:1) to weekly efgartigimod PH20 SC 1000 mg or placebo (stage B). Participants with clinical deterioration in stage B or those who completed ADHERE could enter ADHERE+ (weekly efgartigimod PH20 SC 1000 mg). The primary endpoints were evidence of clinical improvement (ECI; stage A), the risk of relapse (time to first adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment deterioration between participants in the efgartigimod PH20 SC and placebo groups; stage B), and safety (ADHERE+; data cut-off: 15 June 2023).

Results

In stage A, 214/322 (66.5%) participants demonstrated ECI. In stage B, efgartigimod significantly reduced the risk of relapse (HR: 0.394 [95% CI, 0.253–0.614]) vs placebo (P=0.00004). The reduced risk of relapse was also shown in participants regardless of prior CIDP therapy. A total of 99% of eligible participants entered ADHERE+. The safety profile of efgartigimod was consistent over 137.42 total patient-years of follow-up for ADHERE+. Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild/moderate, and their incidence/severity did not increase in ADHERE+.

Conclusions

ADHERE demonstrated the effectiveness of efgartigimod PH20 SC in reducing the risk of relapse. Efgartigimod PH20 SC was well-tolerated; its safety profile was similar between ADHERE and ADHERE+ and was consistent with the previously demonstrated safety profile of efgartigimod.
