  • Ages 3 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male and female patients at least 3 years of age
  • Diagnosis of Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome, Muckle-Wells Syndrome or Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease. Prior agreement between the Investigator and Novartis for study eligibility is required for patients who do not have a molecular diagnosis of NALP3 mutations available (either testing not performed, or testing performed but negative)upon study entry. For those patients who have not been molecularly tested for NALP3 mutations, molecular testing should be performed during the course of the study

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Long-term Safety and Efficacy Study of ACZ885 (Anti-interleukin-1β Monoclonal Antibody) Administered for at Least 6 Months in Patients With the Following Cryopyrin-associated Periodic Syndromes: Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome, Muckle-Wells Syndrome, or Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Canakinumab (ACZ885)Drug

    6 mL glass vial containing 150 mg lyophilized Canakinumab reconstituted with water for a subcutaneous injection every 8 weeks. Dosage based on body weight.

Study groups in NCT00685373
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Canakinumab (ACZ885)ExperimentalSubcutaneous injection every 8 weeks based on participant's body weight. Body weight >40 kilogram (kg): 150 milligrams (mg) per injection and body weight <= 40 kg: 2 mg/kg per injection. For participants who did not experience sufficient symptomatic relief, an up-titration to the dose and/or more frequent doses were permitted as per protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Death, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Discontinuation of Study Drug Due to an AE, Infections and Infestations and Injection Site Reactions

    The number of participants with Adverse Events and Infections \& Infestations are regardless of study drug relationship by primary system organ class preferred term equal and/or greater than 2% in any group. The number of participants with mild injection site reactions= mild reactions observed on at least one occasion but no moderate or severe reactions. The number of participants with moderate injection site reactions= moderate reactions observed on at least one occasion but no severe reactions.

    Measured: 2 years depending on when the participant enters the study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The Percentage of Participants Without Disease Relapse as Determined by the Physician's Global Assessment of Autoinflammatory Disease Activity, Assessment of Skin Disease and Inflammation Markers.

    Disease relapse following complete response is defined as inflammation markers: C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and/or Serum Amyloid A (SAA) result > 30 mg/L AND Physician's Global Assessment of Autoinflammatory Disease Activity > minimal or Physician's Global Assessment >= minimal AND Skin Disease Assessment > minimal.

    Physician's Global Assessment of Autoinflammatory Disease Activity and Skin Disease Assessment (urticarial skin rash) are completed by the investigator using a 5 point rating scale: absent, minimal, mild, moderate and severe.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks during the course of the trial for at least 6 months with a maximum duration of 2 years

  2. Immunogenicity of Canakinumab (ACZ885)

    The number of participants who tested positive for anti-ACZ885 antibodies using the Biacore Assay at the end of the study.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks during the course of the trial for at least 6 months with a maximum duration of 2 years

  3. Pharmacokinetics

    Mean Clearance from serum in Liter per Day (CLD) in adult participants >=18, pediatric participants <18 with body weight >40 kg and pediatric participants <18 with body weight <=40 kg.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks during the course of the trial for at least 6 months with a maximum duration of 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Canakinumab (ACZ885) in people with Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes and Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome, run by Novartis at 28 sites in 9 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 7 inclusion and 7 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 4 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in United States, Germany, Italy, France, Spain and 4 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 27 May 2011). 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?

The Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Death, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Discontinuation of Study Drug Due to an AE, Infections and Infestations and Injection Site Reactions (time frame: 2 years depending on when the participant enters the study). 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 NCT00685373, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Nov 2016.
