About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-Label Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacology of Asfotase Alfa in up to 10 Severely Affected Patients With for the Treatment of Severely Affected Patients With Infantile Hypophosphatasia (HPP)

This clinical trial studies the safety and efficacy of asfotase alfa in infants and young children with infantile onset HPP.

Read the detailed description

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a life-threatening, genetic, and ultra-rare metabolic disease characterized by defective bone mineralization and impaired phosphate and calcium regulation that can lead to progressive damage to multiple vital organs, including destruction and deformity of bones, profound muscle weakness, seizures, impaired renal function, and respiratory failure. There are no approved disease-modifying treatments for patients with this disease. There is also limited data available on the natural course of this disease over time, particularly in patients with the juvenile-onset form.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Rickets Severity From Baseline to Week 24, Based on Assessment of Skeletal Radiographs Using Radiologic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C)

    A 7-point RGI-C (Radiographic Global Impression of Change) score was used to rate change in rickets severity. Scores ranged from -3 (severe worsening of rickets) to +3 (complete healing of rickets). Only those patients with a minimum score of +2 indicating substantial healing of rickets) were considered "responders". Three pediatric radiologists not affiliated with the conduct of the study performed the ratings. Average scores were derived for each patient at each assessment.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Maximum Serum Concentration of Asfotase Alfa (Cmax)

    Maximum serum concentration observed during intensive PK sampling interval.

    Measured: Study Week 1 (0 to 168 hours post-dose). Study Week 2 and Study Week 3 (0 to 48 hours post-dose)

  2. Time at Maximum Serum Concentration of Asfotase Alfa (Tmax)

    Time at maximum serum concentration observed during intensive PK sampling interval.

    Measured: Study Week 1 (0 to 168 hours post-dose). Study Week 2 and Study Week 3 (0 to 48 hours post-dose).

  3. Area Under Serum Concentration-time Curve to Last Measurable Concentration of Asfotase Alfa (AUCt)

    Area under serum concentration-time curve to last measurable concentration during intensive PK sampling interval.

    Measured: Study Week 1 (0 to 168 hours post-dose). Study Week 2 and Study Week 3 (0 to 48 hours post-dose).

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 22 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 1 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Canada, United Arab Emirates. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 30 Sep 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?

Change in Rickets Severity From Baseline to Week 24, Based on Assessment of Skeletal Radiographs Using Radiologic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 NCT00744042, which also lists 5 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 1 Apr 2019.
