Indirect Comparison of Lanadelumab and Intravenous C1-INH Using Data from the HELP and CHANGE Studies: Bayesian and Frequentist Analyses

Abstract

Background

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency is a rare disease associated with painful, potentially fatal swelling episodes affecting subcutaneous or submucosal tissues. HAE attacks recur with unpredictable severity and frequency throughout patients’ lives; long-term prophylaxis is essential for some patients. In the absence of head-to-head studies, indirect treatment comparison (ITC) of long-term prophylactic agents is a valid approach to evaluate comparative efficacy.

Methods

We conducted an ITC using data from the placebo-controlled HELP study (assessing patients receiving lanadelumab 300 mg every 2 or 4 weeks) and the 12-week, parallel arm, crossover CHANGE study (assessing intravenous C1-INH). Outcomes of interest were attack rate ratio (ARR) and time to attack after day 0 (TTA0) and after day 70 (TTA70). Two ITC methodologies were used: a Bayesian approach using study results to update non-informative prior distributions to posterior distributions on relative treatment effects, and a frequentist approach using patient-level data from HELP and CHANGE to generate Poisson regressions (for ARR) and Cox models (for TTA0 and TT70).

Results

Both Bayesian and frequentist analyses suggested that lanadelumab reduced HAE attack rate by 46–73% versus intravenous C1-INH. Relative to intravenous C1-INH, risk of first attack after day 0 was comparable between intravenous C1-INH and both lanadelumab doses; risk of first attack after day 70 was reduced by 81–83% with lanadelumab 300 mg every 2 weeks, compared with C1-INH.

Conclusions

Findings from these two ITC methodologies support the favorable efficacy of lanadelumab in reducing the HAE attack rate and extending attack-free intervals in patients with HAE.

Key Points

In the absence of head-to-head studies, indirect treatment comparisons provide valuable insights.

Indirect comparison of two lanadelumab dosing regimens (300 mg every 2 weeks and 300 mg every 4 weeks) with intravenous C1-esterase inhibitor suggested that both lanadelumab regimens were associated with fewer hereditary angioedema attacks.

After 70 days from start of treatment (the estimated time by which steady-state lanadelumab plasma concentrations are reached), lanadelumab 300 mg every 2 weeks was shown to extend the attack-free period.

Introduction

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency or dysfunction (HAE-1/2) is a rare genetic disease associated with recurring, unpredictable episodes of swelling affecting subcutaneous or submucosal tissues [1, 2]. Owing to its rarity, the prevalence of HAE is unclear, but is generally regarded to be ~ 1 per 50,000 persons [3]. Attack severity can range from mild to moderate to severe or potentially life threatening, especially if laryngeal edema occurs [4, 5]. Symptoms often negatively impact patients’ productivity at work or school and cause emotional impairment, both during and between attacks, resulting in a substantial socioeconomic burden to patients and their families. High treatment costs, frequent use of health care resources, and absenteeism/reduced work productivity in patients with HAE are continuing challenges [5, 6]. Long-term prevention of HAE attacks may be a lifelong requirement for some patients, depending on factors such as disease activity and impact of symptoms on daily life [1].

In patients with HAE-1/2, insufficient C1 inhibition within the kallikrein-kinin cascade leads to plasma kallikrein dysregulation, resulting in uncontrolled production of bradykinin, a potent endogenous vasodilator [7]. Owing to the impairment in C1-inhibitory mechanisms and consequent overproduction of bradykinin, replacement of C1-INH has historically been among the standard of care for long-term prophylaxis of HAE attacks.

Intravenous (IV) plasma-derived C1-INH is currently among the first-line standard-of-care options for prevention of HAE attacks [1, 8]. However, IV administration over extended time periods may be challenging [9], and the requirement for twice-weekly dosing can be inconvenient, factors that are important to consider when individualizing therapy [1]. Of note, dosing frequency has been presumed to negatively impact patient compliance for various chronic diseases [10]. Therefore, it is a continuing goal to develop prophylactic agents that are safe, effective, and convenient to administer.

Given the critical role plasma kallikrein plays in the kallikrein-kinin cascade, this protease is an important therapeutic target in the treatment of HAE. Lanadelumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that is a specific, potent, and long-acting inhibitor of active plasma kallikrein [11]. Efficacy and safety of subcutaneously-administered (SC) lanadelumab were demonstrated in the phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm HELP study (NCT02586805) [12]; recent international HAE treatment guidelines recommend this agent as a first-line treatment option for HAE attack prophylaxis [8].

Lanadelumab has been reviewed by several European Health Technology Assessment bodies (including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in England and Wales, the Scottish Medicine Consortium, and the Danish Medicine Council); the recommended comparator in these submissions has been IV C1-INH. To our knowledge, no head-to-head comparisons of lanadelumab with IV C1-INH have been conducted; in the absence of direct comparative trials, indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs) are a valid approach to evaluate comparative efficacy [13].

ITCs are typically developed using aggregate data from published articles or clinical trials. When individual patient data (IPD) are available, ITCs can also be conducted using patient-level data. Both Bayesian and frequentist approaches can be informed by aggregate data or IPD. IPD analyses have many advantages over aggregate analyses; they permit a greater opportunity to adjust for heterogeneity in the underlying studies in the ITC, and by doing so help to improve statistical validity [14, 15].

We aimed to indirectly compare lanadelumab with IV C1-INH, via both a Bayesian approach based on aggregate study results and a frequentist approach based on IPD, using data from the 26-week, placebo-controlled HELP study [12] and the 12-week, parallel-arm, crossover CHANGE study [16], to support the evidence dossier submitted to Health Technology Assessment bodies.

Methods

ITC Overview

The evidence network for this ITC comprises the lanadelumab 300 mg every 2 weeks (q2w) and every 4 weeks (q4w) treatment arms from HELP [12] anchored to the IV C1-INH arm of CHANGE [16] by a common comparator (placebo) (Fig. 1). A brief overview of the design of HELP and CHANGE is presented in Electronic Supplementary Table S1 (see the electronic supplementary material), and baseline demographic and clinical characteristics for the trial arms included in this ITC are presented in Electronic Supplementary Table S2.

Fig. 1.

HELP was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using a parallel-group design and an observation time horizon (i.e., study treatment duration) of 26 weeks. Patients were randomized to receive lanadelumab 150 mg q4w, lanadelumab 300 mg q4w, lanadelumab 300 mg q2w, or placebo [12]. CHANGE was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial consisting of two 12-week periods spanning a total observation time horizon of 24 weeks. Patients were randomized to receive IV C1-INH 1000 U every 3–4 days or placebo [16]. The current ITC includes only the lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w arms of HELP for comparison with IV C1-INH because the recommended starting dosage of lanadelumab is 300 mg q2w [17, 18], with the option to reduce the dosage to 300 mg q4w in patients who are stably attack free on treatment (per the lanadelumab EU Summary of Product Characteristics) or remain attack free (for at least 6 months in the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] label).

Bayesian methods are well established in ITC, in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Decision Support Unit guidelines [19]. Frequentist analyses are especially suitable in cases of a sparse evidence base consisting of a limited number of trials. Both methods also assume that the included trials are fundamentally similar, preserve randomization, and can account for underlying covariates in the analysis, if the evidence base is sufficiently large. In this study, we report results from a Bayesian ITC using aggregate data from the HELP and CHANGE studies. To assess whether use of IPD yields consistent results compared with the aggregate data approach, we also conducted a frequentist analysis using IPD from both studies, following the approach taken by Bernstein et al. [20]. By using two distinct ITC methodologies, we aimed to increase certainty relating to the findings.

Outcomes

Outcomes of interest for this ITC included the HAE attack rate and time to first HAE attack (TTA). HAE attack rate was defined as the number of attacks experienced in a 28-day cycle, and corresponding relative treatment effects were estimated as attack rate ratios (ARRs). TTA was defined as the duration a patient with HAE remained attack free, and was measured after day 0 (first administered dose of prophylactic therapy; TTA0) and after day 70 (approximate time by which steady-state plasma lanadelumab concentration is reached [12]; TTA70). Corresponding relative treatment effects for TTA outcomes were estimated as hazard ratios (HRs).

Notably, TTA was used as a proxy for attack-free interval, because this allowed for modeling of the results from the HELP and CHANGE studies using the same analysis. Specifically, HRs for TTA0 and TTA70 were generated using time-to-event data from HELP and binary event count data from CHANGE (i.e., the proportion of attack-free patients was used to calculate the proportion of patients experiencing at least one attack), using the method described by Woods et al. [21]. Point estimates for ARRs and HRs were developed using both ITC methodologies, and were used to derive relative treatment effects (%) between therapies.

Bayesian ITC Methodology Based on Aggregated Data

Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo methods were used to derive posterior distributions on relative treatment effects (with 95% credible intervals [CrIs]) from non-informative prior probability distributions. In Bayesian statistics, a CrI is broadly equivalent to the more common confidence interval (CI) used in frequentist statistics, but is based on posterior distributions; a 95% CrI therefore indicates that the interval has a 95% probability of containing the “true” value (in contrast, a 95% CI suggests that the “true” value is within the interval in 95% of experimental iterations).

Fixed-effects models were chosen to perform the Bayesian ITC because no systematic differences were identified between demographic characteristics in HELP and CHANGE; it was therefore assumed that each trial was estimating the same treatment effect, and that any variation between studies was due primarily to sampling variation. Random-effects models were also tested; the corresponding deviance information criterion showed worse fit to the data than for fixed-effects models, and the corresponding 95% CrIs were considerably wide. This was due to the sparse evidence base and consequent large degree of uncertainty in the analysis. For lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w (vs placebo), ARRs were derived from the HELP clinical study report; for IV C1-INH (vs placebo), ARRs were derived from the published data reporting mean HAE attack rate, mean difference, and CIs [16].

Frequentist ITC Methodology Using IPD

Poisson regression models were used to estimate HAE ARRs quantifying the relative treatment effects of lanadelumab (300 mg q2w and 300 mg q4w) and IV C1-INH relative to placebo. As observations from CHANGE were not independent, owing to the crossover design, a mixed model (including fixed factors for treatment, period, and sequence, and a random effect for study subjects) was used to account for the repeated measures. For TTA0 and TTA70, a Cox proportional hazards model was used to generate HRs for each lanadelumab dose regimen (300 mg q2w and 300 mg q4w) relative to placebo in HELP and for IV C1-INH relative to placebo in CHANGE.

As above, mixed models (including fixed effects for the treatment, period, and sequence of crossover, and a random effect for subjects) were used to account for the crossover design of CHANGE. Kaplan-Meier curves for TTA0 and TTA70 were developed via nonparametric estimation to assess whether hazard functions remained proportional over time. Comparison between lanadelumab (300 mg q2w and q4w) and IV C1-INH was achieved using the Bucher method. The Bucher method was based on simple equations to enable an indirect comparison of active interventions via a common comparator, placebo, estimating the difference in two rate ratios with corresponding standard error on the log scale, followed by back-transformation of results. The Bucher method was informed by least-square means on treatment effects with intervention relative to placebo in each study, corresponding with the outcomes of the mixed models described above [22].

Two sensitivity analyses were conducted: sensitivity analysis 1 considered all HAE attacks reported in HELP, regardless of whether they were confirmed by an investigator; sensitivity analysis 2 included the baseline covariates of age, sex, and weight as factors in the regression model.

Bayesian ITC Based on Aggregated Data

Using Bayesian methods to compare the three active interventions with placebo, ARR with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w was reduced by 87% and by 73%, respectively (corresponding HRs and 95% CrIs are presented in Fig. 2). ARR with IV C1-INH was reduced by 51%, relative to placebo. Bayesian comparison of ARR with lanadelumab versus IV C1-INH demonstrated that HAE attack rates were reduced by 73% and by 46% in patients treated with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w, respectively, compared with IV C1-INH (corresponding HRs and 95% CrIs are presented in Table 2).

Risk of first attack after day 0 was reduced by 73% and by 61% with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and 300 mg q4w, respectively, compared with placebo (corresponding HRs and 95% CrIs are presented in Fig. 3a); risk of first attack after day 0 with IV C1-INH was comparable with placebo. Bayesian comparison of TTA0 HRs for lanadelumab versus IV C1-INH demonstrated that risk of first attack after day 0 with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w was comparable with IV C1-INH, as indicated by the 95% CrIs (Table 2). When assessing risk of first attack after day 70 (Fig. 3b), reduction in risk of first attack with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w was 91% and 73%, respectively. Risk of first attack after day 70 with IV C1-INH was comparable with placebo. Per Bayesian comparison of TTA70 HRs for lanadelumab versus IV C1-INH, lanadelumab 300 mg q2w significantly reduced the risk of first attack by 83%, compared with IV C1-INH (Table 2); the risk of first attack with lanadelumab 300 mg q4w was reduced by 49% (non-significant, as indicated by the 95% CrIs).

Frequentist ITC Using IPD

Review of the Kaplan-Meier model for TTA data in HELP did not suggest that the assumption of proportional hazards should be rejected (i.e., the curves for lanadelumab remained broadly parallel to, and did not cross, the curve for placebo) (Electronic Supplementary Fig. S1). Compared with placebo, ARR was significantly reduced by 87% and by 73% with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w, respectively (corresponding HRs and 95% CIs are presented in Fig. 2). ARR relative to placebo was also statistically significantly reduced by 51% with IV C1-INH. Bucher comparison of HAE ARRs demonstrated that HAE attack rates were statistically significantly reduced by 73% and by 46% in patients treated with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w, respectively, compared with IV C1-INH (corresponding HRs and 95% CIs are presented in Table 2).

Compared with placebo, risk of first attack after day 0 was reduced by 73% and 62% with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w, respectively, and by 63% with IV C1-INH (Fig. 3a). When evaluating TTA0 HRs by the Bucher method, lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w did not appear to significantly reduce the risk of first attack compared with IV C1-INH, as indicated by the 95% CIs (Table 2). Relative to placebo, risk of first attack after day 70 was reduced by 93% and 79% with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w and q4w, respectively, and by 66% with IV C1-INH (Fig. 3b). When comparing TTA70 HRs by the Bucher method, 300 mg q2w significantly reduced the risk of first attack after day 70 by 81% (Table 2); the risk of first attack with lanadelumab 300 mg q4w was reduced by 38% (non-significant, as indicated by the 95% CIs).

In sensitivity analyses considering all reported HAE attacks in the HAE ARR analysis—and also considering the baseline covariates of age, gender, and weight as factors in the regression models—Bucher comparisons of lanadelumab (both dose regimens) and IV C1-INH were nearly identical to the primary analysis (Electronic Supplementary Table S3).

Discussion

The results of this ITC, using both Bayesian and frequentist approaches, were consistent: compared with placebo, lanadelumab 300 mg q2w, lanadelumab 300 mg q4w, and IV C1-INH were associated with reduced HAE attack rate and reduced risk of first HAE attack in patients with HAE. Bayesian and frequentist approaches both indicated that lanadelumab dosages were associated with a favorable and statistically significant reduction in HAE attack rate compared with IV C1-INH, and lanadelumab 300 mg q2w was also associated with statistically significant reductions in the risk of first attack after day 70 compared with IV C1-INH.

By using TTA as a proxy for attack-free interval, this analysis permitted comparison of time-to-event data from HELP with event count data from CHANGE. Although most HAE point estimates were nearly identical for Bayesian and frequentist analyses, most of the frequentist estimates for TTA0 and TTA70 were slightly lower than for Bayesian methods. This may reflect the use of a mixed model to account for the repeated measures seen within patients in the crossover CHANGE study.

Risk of first attack with lanadelumab in the TTA70 analysis was substantially lower than in the TTA0 analysis; this aligns with the known time to steady-state concentration of lanadelumab [12]. Accordingly, post hoc analyses from HELP have demonstrated that HAE attack rate and proportion of patients who remain attack-free improve with lanadelumab within 0–69 days (vs placebo), but further improvement in these outcomes was seen from 70 days onward [23]. More recently, efficacy of long-term prophylactic therapy with lanadelumab 300 mg q2w was demonstrated in the HELP open-label extension study [24]. Although assessment of the cost implications of this reduction in resource use with long-term lanadelumab is interesting to consider, such comparison is beyond the scope of the present study.

The route of administration is an important practical consideration for both physicians and patients [9]. Self-administration of medication has been reported to be associated with patient satisfaction and medication compliance [25]; and according to a survey of US patients with HAE, the most common barrier to self-administration is a fear of injections [26]. In addition to the efficacy advantage seen with SC administration in this ITC, lanadelumab has the advantage of being easier to self-administer than C1-INH, which may help improve patient compliance. Accordingly, an interim analysis from the HELP open-label extension suggested that the majority of patients who self-administered SC lanadelumab and were experienced with prior use of IV C1-INH for long-term prophylaxis preferred SC administration (70.9% of 55 patients), with 59.3% and 52.5% of 59 patients reporting that SC injections were easier to administer and convenient, respectively [27]. Of note, an SC C1-INH formulation was recently approved by the FDA and European Medicines Agency for prophylaxis of HAE attacks. This formulation requires dosing every 3–4 days [28].

The current ITC analysis was conducted using two rigorous ITC methodologies: a more frequently used Bayesian method, generally recognized by Health Technology Assessment authorities; and a patient-level frequentist approach, which facilitates estimation of subgroup effects, aids convergence, and yields more precise estimates overall [14, 15]. Point estimates obtained via the frequentist method are generally very similar to those obtained through Bayesian approaches; however, CIs are usually narrower than the CrIs of a Bayesian analysis when based on sparse evidence, with non-informative priors assigned to treatment effects [29]. Additionally, IPD allow within-study associations to be distinguished from across-study associations [13, 15] and can reduce ecological bias [13]. In this analysis, results from sensitivity analyses accounting for age, gender, and weight were numerically and qualitatively consistent with findings from the primary analysis.

Of note, this ITC excluded the lanadelumab 150 mg q4w arm of HELP. This is in line with current market authorizations for lanadelumab, including the approved labeling in the United States [18] and the EU [17], which recommend a starting dose of 300 mg q2w with a potential dose reduction to 300 mg q4w in patients with well-controlled disease. Omitting the lanadelumab 150 mg q4w dosing group also mitigated the multiplicity errors that can occur in frequentist analyses when multiple statistical comparisons are made.

Limitations of our methodology include those inherent to any ITC. Although HELP and CHANGE were broadly similar in terms of age, sex, and number of enrolled patients with HAE, residual heterogeneity in the included trials may have influenced the findings. Such limitations should be considered when interpreting findings from ITCs, which are not a substitute for head-to-head comparisons [13]. As our ITC is based on data obtained from double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical studies, the potential impact of off-label uptitrated doses of IV C1-INH on effectiveness was not considered. Additionally, the HELP and CHANGE studies contained small samples sizes (owing to the rarity of the disease), which impeded the statistical power of the frequentist analysis. In Bayesian ITC, a sparse evidence base comprising few studies with few interventions introduces a large degree of uncertainty that can lead to wide CrIs, especially if non-informative priors are assigned to treatment effects. Lastly, CHANGE did not provide patient-level data for TTA0 and TTA70; HRs for TTA analyses were generated using binary data (the proportion of attack-free patients was used to calculate the proportion of patients experiencing at least one attack).

In conclusion, this analysis used two established, complementary ITC methodologies to compare the clinical outcomes of two lanadelumab dosing regimens with those of IV C1-INH. The findings from these respective methodologies are consistent, and support the efficacy of lanadelumab in reducing HAE attack rate and extending attack-free periods in patients with HAE.
