Abstract
AbstractActivated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) syndrome (APDS) is an inborn error of immunity with clinical manifestations including infections, lymphoproliferation, autoimmunity, enteropathy, bronchiectasis, increased risk of lymphoma, and early mortality. Hyperactive PI3Kδ signaling causes APDS and is selectively targeted with leniolisib, an oral, small molecule inhibitor of PI3Kδ. Here, 31 patients with APDS aged ≥12 years were enrolled in a global, phase 3, triple-blinded trial and randomized 2:1 to receive 70 mg leniolisib or placebo twice daily for 12 weeks. Coprimary outcomes were differences from baseline in the index lymph node size and the percentage of naïve B cells in peripheral blood, assessed as proxies for immune dysregulation and deficiency. Both primary outcomes were met: the difference in the adjusted mean change (95% confidence interval [CI]) between leniolisib and placebo for lymph node size was −0.25 (−0.38, −0.12; P = .0006; N = 26) and for percentage of naïve B cells, was 37.30 (24.06, 50.54; P = .0002; N = 13). Leniolisib reduced spleen volume compared with placebo (adjusted mean difference in 3-dimensional volume [cm3], −186; 95% CI, −297 to −76.2; P = .0020) and improved key immune cell subsets. Fewer patients receiving leniolisib reported study treatment-related adverse events (AEs; mostly grades 1-2) than those receiving placebo (23.8% vs 30.0%). Overall, leniolisib was well tolerated and significant improvement over placebo was notable in the coprimary endpoints, reducing lymphadenopathy and increasing the percentage of naïve B cells, reflecting a favorable impact on the immune dysregulation and deficiency seen in patients with APDS. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02435173.
