Phase I/II Trial of Rilzabrutinib: Background § BTK inhibition modulates components of adaptive and innate immunity associated with autoimmune diseases[1] § Rilzabrutinib (PRN 1008) is an oral reversible, covalent, small-molecule inhibitor selective for BTK[1, 2] ‒ Preclinical data suggest improved kinase selectivity and fewer off-target effects vs other BTK inhibitors[2] ‒ Did not alter collagen-induced platelet aggregation ex vivo in samples collected from healthy volunteers and patients with ITP[3] § Current analysis of ongoing phase I/II trial reports safety and efficacy of rilzabrutinib at minimum effective dose in adults with R/R ITP[4] 1.

Phase I/II Trial of Rilzabrutinib: Investigator Conclusions § Rilzabrutinib given at a dose of 400 mg BID yielded platelet responses of 42% in adults patients with R/R ITP ‒ Platelet responses observed regardless of splenectomy status or response to prior therapy ‒ Responses were rapid/durable throughout LTE; more than one half of patients achieved a platelet response ≥ 30 x 109/L by Day 8 ‒ Consistent responses for those in LTE beyond 6 mos with a response; 97% of wks at ≥ 30× 10 9/L and 89% of wks at ≥ 50× 109/L § Low-grade 1/2 TRAEs overall; only 2 low-grade related events during LTE § Ongoing phase III LUNA 3 trial will compare rilzabrutinib vs placebo in adults and adolescents with ITP (NCT 04562766); ‒ FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to rilzabrutinib in late 2020 Kuter.
