About this trial
This is a 52-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group, multicenter study of depemokimab in adults with uncontrolled HES receiving standard of care (SoC) therapy.
The study will recruit patients with a confirmed diagnosis of HES and who are on stable HES therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization (Visit 2). Eligible participants must have uncontrolled HES with a history of repeated flare (≥2 flares in the previous 12 months) and blood eosinophil count of ≥1,000 cells/ microliter (μL) during Screening. Historical HES flares are defined as documented HES-related worsening of clinical symptoms or blood eosinophil counts requiring an escalation in therapy.
Participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either depemokimab or placebo while continuing their SoC HES therapy.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Participants who are greater than or equal (>=) 40 kilogram (kg) at Screening Visit 1.
Participants who have a documented diagnosis of HES prior to Visit 2.
A history of 2 or more HES flares within the past 12 months prior to Visit 1.
A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and one of the following conditions applies: a) woman of non-childbearing potential (WONCBP) Or b) woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective, with a failure rate of less than (<) 1 percentage (%).
Disqualifiers
Participants with HES disease manifestations which in the opinion of the investigator may put the participant at unacceptable risk from study participation or confound interpretation of efficacy or safety data.
Participants with chronic or ongoing active infections requiring systemic treatment or a pre-existing parasitic infestation within 6 months prior to Visit 1.
Participants with a known immunodeficiency (e.g., Human Immunodeficiency Virus [HIV]), other than that explained by the use of OCS or other therapy taken for HES.
Participants with a history of or current lymphoma.
