About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial of the Safety, Efficacy, Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of PXT3003 in Patients With Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1A.

The present trial is a randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluating 3 different doses of PXT3003 in patients with CMT1A disease.

Read the detailed description

In addition to the safety and tolerability of the treatment, clinical, electrophysiological and biological endpoints (PMP22 mRNA, skin biopsy histology and plasma biomarkers) will be assessed. Standard laboratory tests and drug plasma concentrations will also be measured. Because of the slow progression of the disease and the nature of the observed symptoms, a minimum duration of 12 months of treatment is required in order to observe a potential improvement in any of the efficacy parameters.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and Tolerability of PXT3003

    The Primary Objective is to assess the clinical and laboratory safety and tolerability of three doses of PXT3003 administered orally for 12 months to CMT1A patients versus placebo.

    Number of participants with adverse events in each arm.

    Measured: Screening, randomization, 1-, 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-month treatment and 1-month follow-up

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To Obtain Preliminary Data on the Efficacy of PXT3003 on Clinical Scores and Functional Tests

    Efficacy scores and functional tests will be assessed CMTNS/CMTES:ONLS, VAS, fatigue, pain, six minute walk test (6MWT), nine-hole peg test, quantified muscular testing (QMT; hand grip and foot dorsiflexion), CGI.

    For each test or score, change from baseline after 3-,6-, 9- and 12-months of treatment.

    Measured: Screening, randomization, 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-months treatment

  2. To Assess the Pharmacodynamic Effect of PXT3003 on PMP22 mRNA Levels and Intra-epidermal Axon Density in Cutaneous Biopsy

    A cutaneous biopsy (consisting in 2 small punch biopsies) will be performed to assess PMP22 mRNA expression and intra-epidermal axon density.

    Change from baseline after 12-month of treatment.

    Measured: Randomization and 12-month treatment

  3. To Assess the Pharmacodynamic Effect of PXT3003 on Selected Neurophysiological Parameters

    Electrophysiological examination will be performed to assess sensory and motor responses of the median and ulnar nerves (non-dominant side) including: NCV, compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and SNAP.

    Change from baseline after 3-,6-, 9- and 12-months of treatment.

    Measured: Screening, randomization, 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month treatment

  4. To Assess the Pharmacodynamic Effect of PXT3003 on a Series of Biochemical Biomarkers

    Dosages of biochemical biomarkers in plasma.

    Change from baseline after 3-month of treatment.

    Measured: Randomization and 3-month treatment

  5. To Assess the Plasma Concentrations of PXT3003

    PXT3003 plasmatic concentrations after one administration (randomization) and after 1-,6-and 12-months of treatment.

    Measured: Randomization, 1-, 6- and 12-month treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PXT3003 Low dose, PXT3003 Intermediate Dose and PXT3003 High Dose in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease and Hereditary Neuropathy With Liability to Pressure Palsies, run by Pharnext S.C.A. at 6 sites in France.

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 16 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 22 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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 16 Feb 2017). 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?

Safety and Tolerability of PXT3003 (time frame: Screening, randomization, 1-, 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-month treatment and 1-month follow-up). 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 NCT01401257, 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 22 Nov 2017.
