About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Non-controlled, Multicenter, Multinational Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Zemaira® Administration in Chronic Augmentation and Maintenance Therapy in Subjects With Emphysema Due to alpha1-proteinase Inhibitor Deficiency Who Completed Clinical Study CE1226_4001

This study is a continuation of the placebo-controlled study CE1226_4001 (NCT00261833) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Zemaira® intravenous (i.v). administration in subjects with emphysema due to alpha1-proteinase inhibitor deficiency. The long-term verification of a disease-modifying benefit of Zemaira® on the progression of emphysema will be assessed by volume-adjusted lung density, measured yearly by computed tomography (CT).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of Change of Adjusted Lung Density

    As measured by centralized, standardized computer tomographic (CT) lung densitometry. CT scans were acquired at 2 inspiration states: TLC (Total Lung Capacity; ie, full inspiration) and FRC (Functional Residual Capacity; ie, full expiration). Results were adjusted for total lung volume and are presented as point estimates for the average rate of decline in the early start and delayed start subgroups from a linear random regression model with country, inspiration state (only for 'TLC and FRC state'), time (time elapsed since Day 1 [CE1226_4001]), treatment and treatment by time interaction as fixed effects and subject and subject by time interaction as random coefficients.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Absolute Change in Adjusted Lung Density

    Absolute change from baseline to 2 years as measured by centralized, standardized CT lung densitometry. CT scans were acquired at 2 inspiration states: TLC (ie, full inspiration) and FRC (ie, full expiration). Results were adjusted for total lung volume and are presented as point estimates for the average absolute change in the early start and delayed start subgroups from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with country, treatment, and baseline lung density as fixed effects and inspiration state as a repeated random effect. The baseline is the last assessment from the preceding study CE1226_4001.

    Measured: From baseline to 2 years

  2. Percent Change in Adjusted Lung Density

    Percent change from baseline to 2 years as measured by centralized, standardized CT lung densitometry. CT scans were acquired at 2 inspiration states: TLC (ie, full inspiration) and FRC (ie, full expiration). Results were adjusted for total lung volume and are presented as point estimates for the average percent change in the early start and delayed start subgroups from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with country, treatment, and baseline lung density as fixed effects and inspiration state as a repeated random effect. The baseline is the last assessment from the preceding study CE1226_4001.

    Measured: From baseline to 2 years

  3. Change in Subject-reported Symptoms

    Patient-reported symptoms were measured using the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). SGRQ total, symptoms, activity and impact scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more limitations, and change from baseline below zero (0) is favorable, indicating improvement.

    Measured: From baseline to 2 years

  4. Percent Change in Lung Function as Measured by Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)

    Measured: From baseline up to 2 years

  5. Percent Change in Lung Function as Measured by Ratio of FEV1/FVC (Forced Vital Capacity)

    Measured: From baseline up to 2 years

  6. Percent Change in Lung Function as Measured by Percent Predicted FEV1

    Measured: From baseline up to 2 years

  7. Number of Subjects With Pulmonary Exacerbations

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  8. Annual Rate in Subject Years of Pulmonary Exacerbations

    Annual exposure-adjusted incidence rate of pulmonary exacerbations.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  9. Time to First Pulmonary Exacerbation

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  10. Percentage of Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    Percentage of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs): overall, by severity, by relatedness, by seriousness, and which occurred within 24 hours of Zemaira administration.

    Measured: From baseline up to 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Alpha1- proteinase inhibitor [human] in people with Emphysema and Alpha 1-proteinase Inhibitor Deficiency, run by CSL Behring at 21 sites in 11 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in Australia, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Poland and 6 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jul 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of Change of Adjusted Lung Density (time frame: Up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00670007, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2016.
