About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Eteplirsen in Patients With Advanced Stage Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

The primary objective of this study is to explore safety and tolerability of eteplirsen in participants with advanced stage Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who are amenable to exon 51 skipping.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, multi-center study to explore the safety and tolerability of eteplirsen injection in participants with advanced stage DMD with confirmed genetic mutations amenable to treatment by exon 51 skipping.

Participants will be evaluated for inclusion during a Screening/Baseline period of up to 4 weeks. Eligible participants will receive once weekly intravenous (IV) infusions of 30 mg/kg eteplirsen for 96 weeks, followed by a safety extension (not to exceed 48 weeks).

Safety will be regularly assessed throughout the study via the collection of adverse events (AEs), laboratory tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms (ECHOs), vital signs, and physical examinations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes: death; Life-threatening event; Required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent AEs were events that developed or worsened during the on-treatment period (defined as time from first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after last dose of study drug (up to 100 weeks) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events.

    Measured: From first dose of drug up to 100 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities

    Laboratory parameters included hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis and coagulation. Data is only reported for parameters in which at least 1 participant had potentially clinically significant abnormal findings.

    Incr=increase; LLN=lower limit of normal; ULN=upper limit of normal; GGT=gamma glutamyl transferase

    Measured: Baseline up to 100 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Vital Signs

    Vital sign parameters included systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), and body temperature. Data is only reported for parameters in which at least 1 participant had potentially clinically significant abnormal vital sign findings.

    Measured: Baseline up to 100 weeks

  3. Number of Participants With at Least One Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Physical Examinations

    Physical examinations, full and brief, were performed by the Investigator, a physician Sub-Investigator, or a Nurse Practitioner (if licensed in the state or province to perform physical examinations). Full physical examinations included examination of general appearance; head, ears, eyes, nose, and throat; heart; lungs; chest; abdomen; skin; lymph nodes; and musculoskeletal and neurological systems. Brief physical examinations included examination of general appearance; head, ears, eyes, nose, and throat; heart; lungs; chest; abdomen; and skin.

    Measured: Baseline up to 100 weeks

  4. Number of Participants With Abnormalities in Electrocardiograms (ECGs)

    Twelve-lead ECGs and Holter ECGs were performed at a consistent time of day throughout the study. Electrocardiograms were performed only after the patient was in the supine position, resting, and quiet for a minimum of 15 minutes. The ECG was manually reviewed and interpreted by medically qualified personnel using a central vendor according to prespecified criteria. The Investigator reviewed the results of the centrally read ECG report and determined if the findings were clinically significant. Data is only reported for parameters in which at least 1 participant had potentially clinically significant abnormal ECG findings.

    msec=milliseconds; QTcF=QT interval corrected with Fridericia's method

    Measured: Baseline up to 100 weeks

  5. Number of Participants With Abnormalities in Echocardiograms (ECHO)

    Standard, 2-dimensional ECHOs were performed at a consistent time of day throughout the study. The ECHO was reviewed and interpreted by medically qualified personnel using a central vendor according to prespecified criteria. Ejection fraction was noted. The Investigator reviewed the results of the ECHO report and determined if the findings were clinically significant.

    LEVF=left ventricular ejection fraction

    Measured: Baseline up to 100 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Eteplirsen in people with Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne, run by Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. at 9 sites in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 12 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 30 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. 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 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 20 Feb 2019). 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: From first dose of drug up to 100 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Mar 2020.
