Phase 2 study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of administering increased siltuximab doses to patients with iMCD
This is an open-label, two-stage, Phase 2 study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of administering increased siltuximab doses to patients with iMCD who progressed with elevated and rising serum C reactive protein (CRP) levels after prior treatment with siltuximab 11 mg/kg every 3 weeks (q3w) without unacceptable toxicity, and is primarily designed to leverage opportunities for intrapatient dose escalation with available clinical, nonclinical, and PK justification as a means to restore or enable disease control. Enrolling in Stage 1a and Stage 1b of this study in parallel will be up to 6 patients each with siltuximab-relapsed or refractory IL-6-driven iMCD and TAFRO-iMCD patients, respectively, who will undergo intrapatient dose escalation of siltuximab beginning with 22 mg/kg q3w, then possibly dose escalating to 33 mg/kg q3w then 44 mg/kg q3w if clinically indicated in the absence of DLT. The justifications for escalating siltuximab doses up to 44 mg/kg q3w will be based on intrapatient dose escalation and DLT assessments as described below.

Participants will receive intravenous (IV) infusion of siltuximab 22 mg/kg over 2 hours every 3 weeks, then possibly dose escalating to 33 mg/kg IV over 3 hours +/- 44 mg/kg IV over 4 hours every 3 weeks if clinically indicated in the absence of dose-limiting toxicity.

Assess the Clinical Benefit Response (CBR) of Siltuximab
Assess the clinical benefit response (CBR) of increased siltuximab doses in patients with IL-6-driven (C-reactive protein \[CRP\]-elevated and rising) idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) after disease progression on the standard siltuximab dose schedule. CBR defined as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) lasting ≥12 weeks per Castleman Disease Collaborative Network Response Criteria (CDCNRC).
Time frame: 12 Weeks
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of increased Siltuximab doses
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs), incidence of abnormal laboratory test results incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Time frame: 12 Weeks
Pharmacokinetics (Vd)
To test the patient's drug propensity
Time frame: 12 Weeks
Pharmacokinetics (CL)
To test the volume of plasma cleared of drug per unit time

Time frame: 12 Weeks
Pharmacokinetics (Tmax)
To test the time taken to reach Cmax
Time frame: 12 Weeks
Evaluate the efficacy of increased siltuximab doses after disease progression on prior siltuximab treatment.
The primary efficacy endpoint is CBR defined as CR, PR, or SD lasting ≥12 weeks per CDCNRC based on evaluation of biochemical, lymph node, and symptom response
Time frame: 12 Weeks
Evaluate the immunogenicity of increased siltuximab doses after disease progression on prior siltuximab treatment.
Immunogenicity will be assessed through the detection of antibodies against siltuximab, and will be conducted via immunoassay ± serum IL-6 levels on Day 1 of Cycle 1, 3, 6 and every 4 cycles thereafter, before administration of siltuximab.
Time frame: 12 Weeks
To evaluate the patient-reported outcomes (PROs) using the EQ-5D Instrument
The secondary outcome measures will include the health status measures of the EuroQuality of Life Five Dimensions (EQ-5D) has the following dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the 5 dimensions
Time frame: 12 Weeks
To evaluate the patient-reported outcomes (PROs) using the MCD-SS Instrument
The Multicentric Castleman disease symptom score (MCD-SS) lists 10 symptoms which are graded on a scale: Did not experience (0); Very mild (2); Mild (4); Moderate (6); Severe (8); Very Severe (10). The mean score of the ten items is calculated and a higher score indicates more severe symptoms.
Time frame: 12 Weeks
