About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Multinational Study of the Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Asfotase Alfa (Human Recombinant Tissue-nonspecific Alkaline Phosphatase Fusion Protein) in Infants and Children ≤ 5 Years of Age With Hypophosphatasia (HPP)

This clinical trial was conducted to study hypophosphatasia (HPP), a bone disorder caused by gene mutations or changes. These gene mutations cause low levels of an enzyme needed to harden bone. The purpose of this study was to test the safety and efficacy of a study drug called asfotase alfa (human recombinant tissue non-specific alkaline phosphate fusion protein) to see what effects it has on patients 5 years of age or less with HPP.

Read the detailed description

Asfotase alfa was formerly referred to as ENB-0040

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 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. Effect of Asfotase Alfa Treatment on Skeletal Manifestations of Hypophosphatasia (HPP)

    The effect of asfotase alfa treatment on skeletal manifestations of HPP (i.e., change in rickets severity) was measured by radiographs using a qualitative Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) scale. Skeletal radiographs obtained at Week 24 were compared with skeletal radiographs obtained before initiation of treatment. The RGI-C is a 7-point rating scale that ranges from -3 (indicative of severe worsening of HPP-associated rickets) to +3 (indicative of complete or near complete healing of HPP-associated rickets).

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 24

  2. Safety and Tolerability of Repeated Subcutaneous (SC) Injections of Asfotase Alfa

    Safety and tolerability of repeated subcutaneous (SC) injections of asfotase alfa for all treated patients was assessed by the number of patients with 1 or more treatment-emergent adverse event.

    Measured: Up to 72 months or until regulatory approval in the country of residence. Patients received study drug for a median duration of 829.0 days, with a range from 6 to 2116 days (ie, from 0.9 week to 5.8 years).

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Effect of Asfotase Alfa Treatment on Skeletal Manifestations of Hypophosphatasia (HPP)

    The effect of asfotase alfa treatment on skeletal manifestations of HPP (i.e., change in rickets severity) was measured by radiographs using a qualitative Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) scale. Skeletal radiographs obtained at the patient's last assessment were compared with skeletal radiographs obtained before initiation of treatment. The RGI-C is a 7-point rating scale that ranges from -3 (indicative of severe worsening of HPP-associated rickets) to +3 (indicative of complete or near complete healing of HPP-associated rickets).

  3. Effect of Asfotase Alfa Treatment on Respiratory Function

    Effect of asfotase alfa treatment on respiratory function as measured by the shift in proportion of patients requiring respiratory support at their last assessment compared with Baseline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing asfotase alfa in people with Hypophosphatasia, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 23 sites in 12 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 20 inclusion and 10 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 13 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in Japan, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, France and 7 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 combined phase mean?

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

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 26 Feb 2018). 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?

Effect of Asfotase Alfa Treatment on Skeletal Manifestations of Hypophosphatasia (HPP) (time frame: From Baseline to Week 24). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01176266, 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 13 Mar 2019.
