Popis: Background: Seletalisib is a potent, selective oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3 kinase delta (PI3Kδ). Preclinical data have shown that the PI3Kδ pathway is upregulated within salivary glands of patients with PSS and contributes to disease pathogenesis.1 Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of seletalisib in patients with PSS. Methods: In this Phase II, double-blind, proof of concept study (NCT02610543), patients with PSS having an EULAR Sjogren’s Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) score ≥5 were randomised 1:1 to seletalisib once daily or placebo (PBO) in addition to current PSS therapy for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in ESSDAI at Week 12. The study was designed to have 80% power to detect a difference of 3.8 points in change from baseline in ESSDAI between seletalisib and PBO at Week 12 and required 58 patients to complete treatment. Other endpoints included EULAR Sjogren’s Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI), salivary gland biopsy changes, Schirmer’s I test, immunoglobulin concentrations and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Results: The study was terminated early due to slow recruitment, which led to study power decreasing to 36%. Twenty of 27 patients randomised (seletalisib n=13, PBO n=14) completed treatment. Demographic characteristics were generally similar between groups. Mean (SE) change from baseline in ESSDAI at Week 12 was seletalisib –5.4 (1.7) vs PBO –2.8 (1.5); treatment difference vs PBO (95% CI) was –2.59 (–7.30, 2.11; p=0.266). The percentages of patients achieving a ≥3 point reduction in ESSDAI were seletalisib 66.7% vs PBO 54.5%. Post-hoc Bayesian analyses of treatment difference showed an 86.5% probability of being superior to PBO and a 48.8% probability of a >3 point difference from PBO. Clinically notable improvements in some secondary endpoints were also observed in the seletalisib group (Table 1). Minor salivary gland biopsies had broadly similar histological features across groups at baseline. At Week 12, seletalisib treatment led to a reduction in the size and cellular organisation of mononuclear inflammatory cell foci vs PBO (Table 2). TEAEs were reported by 13/13 (100.0%) seletalisib and 13/14 (92.9%) PBO patients; most frequently reported: diarrhoea (5/13 [38.5%] vs 0/14 [0%]) and headache (3/13 [23.1%] vs 2/14 [14.3%]). Serious TEAEs were reported by 3/13 (23.1%) vs 1/14 (7.1%), and discontinuations due to TEAEs by 5/13 (38.5%) vs 1/14 (7.1%) seletalisib and PBO patients, respectively. Conclusion: Although this Phase II PSS study was terminated early due to slow recruitment, seletalisib demonstrated a trend to clinical improvement in patients with PSS and acceptable safety and tolerability. Histological analyses demonstrated encouraging effects of seletalisib on the organisation and extent of salivary gland lymphocytic infiltration in patients with PSS. References [1] Nayar S, et al.
