Mepolizumab in Episodic Angioedema With Eosinophilia : Pilot Study of Mepolizumab in Episodic Angioedema With Eosinophilia
Episodic angioedema with eosinophilia (EAE), also known as Gleich s Syndrome,is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of urticaria, fever, angioedema, weight gain and dramatic eosinophilia that occur at 3- to 6-week intervals and resolve with spontaneous diuresis in the absence of therapy. Although the syndrome is often classified in the broad category of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), EAE is a distinct eosinophilic syndrome that is remarkably homogeneous in clinical presentation. More recently, it has become apparent that there is multilineage cycling, involving lymphocytes and neutrophils in addition to eosinophils. Early studies described cyclic elevations of serum interleukin 5 (IL-5) preceding the rise in eosinophilia, and additional studies have shown cyclic elevations in other type II cytokines as well as in eosinophilic chemokines. Aberrant T cells with a CD3-CD4+ surface phenotype have also been detected in the majority of subjects with EAE. The cyclic nature of the disorder and the involvement of multiple cell lineages have made it difficult to determine the underlying cause of EAE.We hypothesize that IL-5 driven eosinophilia is central to the pathogenesis of EAE. Suppression of eosinophil cycling by blocking IL-5 would help determine whether eosinophils are indeed the main drivers of the symptoms of angioedema and urticaria and pave the way for future mechanistic studies investigating the etiology of this unusual disorder. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of mepolizumab, a humanized antibody to IL-5, on eosinophil cycling in 12 subjects with EAE. Subjects with EAE will undergo screening on the National Institutes of Health protocol 94-I-0079 to establish the periodicity of their cycling (if not previously determined) and the optimal timing for the baseline visit. After screening, subjects will be followed closely with signs and symptoms recorded in a daily log and daily and monthly questionnaires, as well as complete blood counts and research blood collected for one cycle prior to administration of mepolizumab. Subjects will receive a total of 3 monthly administrations of mepolizumab at 700 mg, followed by drug de-escalation over 6 additional monthly administrations for subjects who demonstrate benefit from mepolizumab. All subjects will have a follow-up visit about 1 month after the last study administration of mepolizumab.The primary efficacy endpoint will be reduction of symptoms and severity of symptoms after mepolizumab. Secondary endpoints will include reduction in peak eosinophils after mepolizumab, continued suppression of absolute eosinophil count and reduction in symptoms following monthly dosing of mepolizumab therapy..
