Abstract

Antagonizing the effect of interleukin (IL)-5 is a potential new treatment strategy in allergic disorders. We evaluated the safety, biological activity, and pharmacokinetics of SCH55700, a humanized anti-human IL-5 antibody, in subjects with severe persistent asthma treated with oral or high doses of inhaled steroids. In a double-blind, randomized, multicenter trial, a rising single dose of SCH55700 (0.03 mg/kg [n = 2], 0.1 mg/kg [n = 4], 0.3 mg/kg [n = 6], or 1.0 mg/kg [n = 12]) or placebo (n = 8) was administered intravenously. SCH55700 dose dependently reduced circulating eosinophil counts. At a dose of 1.0 mg/kg, the decrease remained significant up to Day 30 [(0.07 +/- 0.01) x 10(9)/L versus (0.23 +/- 0.04) x 10(9)/L at baseline] (mean +/- SEM) (p = 0.05). After administration of SCH55700 at 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg, a trend toward improvement in baseline FEV1 was observed, which reached significance 24 hours after the 0.3-mg/kg dose (p = 0.019 versus placebo). No significant changes occurred in other clinical indices of disease activity. Adverse events were not different between active treatment and placebo. We conclude that SCH55700 is a biologically active anti-human IL-5 antibody that can be safely used in severe steroid-treated asthma. Its therapeutic potential needs to be addressed in specifically designed efficacy trials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
