Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 3 to 16 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Must have completed 48 weeks in Study 190-201.

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Multinational, Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of BMN 190 in Patients With CLN2 Disease

The Phase 1/2 study (190-201) evaluated the efficacy and safety of a 300 mg dose of BMN 190 administered every other week (qow) to patients with CLN2. The dose and regimen for this study (190-202) are based on the results of the 190-201 study. The rationale for this phase 2 extension study is to provide patients who complete the 190-201 study with the option to continue BMN 190 treatment. The 190-202 study is an open label extension protocol to assess long-term safety and efficacy.

Read the detailed description

BMN 190 is a recombinant form of human tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1), the enzyme deficient in patients with CLN2 disease (also known as classical late-infantile CLN2, cLINCL, or Jansky-Bielschowsky disease), a form of Batten Disease. As an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), BMN 190 is designed to help restore TPP1 enzyme activity. The Phase 1/2 study (190-201) evaluated the efficacy and safety of a 300 mg dose of BMN 190 administered every other week (qow) to patients with CLN2. The dose and regimen for this study (190-202) are based on the results of the 190-201 study. The rationale for this phase 2 extension study is to provide patients who complete the 190-201 study with the option to continue BMN 190 treatment. The 190-202 study is an open label extension protocol to assess long-term safety and efficacy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Probability of Unreversed 2-point Decline in Motor-language (ML) Score or Score of 0

    Motor and Language are each 0-3 point subscales in which 3 represents best function and 0 represents loss of function. Thus, the 0-6 point ML score was used as the primary mode of evaluation of loss of function.

    In 190-201, the primary endpoint was a responder endpoint: unreversed ML 2-point decline or score of 0 at Week 48 compared to the 50% rate expected in natural history using the 1-sample binomial test. For 190-202, the primary endpoint was revised to assess response over the full duration of follow-up. It is not clear, given the variable follow-up much greater than 48 weeks, what response rate is expected in natural history. For this reason, the assessment of the primary endpoint is based on comparing to natural history data and using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model with covariate adjustment (i.e., baseline ML score and age as continuous covariates, and genotype [common alleles] and sex as categorical covariates).

    Measured: Up to Week 289

  2. Probability of Unreversed Motor-language (ML) Score of Zero.

    Motor and Language are each 0-3 point subscales in which 3 represents best function and 0 represents loss of function. Thus, the 0-6 point ML score was used as the primary mode of evaluation of loss of function.

    In 190-201, the primary endpoint was a responder endpoint: unreversed ML 2-point decline or score of 0 at Week 48 compared to the 50% rate expected in natural history using the 1-sample binomial test. For 190-202, the primary endpoint was revised to assess response over the full duration of follow-up. It is not clear, given the variable follow-up much greater than 48 weeks, what response rate is expected in natural history. For this reason, the assessment of the primary endpoint is based on comparing to natural history data and using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model with covariate adjustment (baseline ML score, age, genotype [common alleles], and sex).

Model description
Because of practical (limited number of available patients) and ethical (neurosurgery in children with fatal neurologic disease) concerns, this study design could not involve contemporaneous, matched, randomized, blinded, or untreated control subjects. As such, data from the DEM-CHILD Multi-Center Clinical NCL Database at the University Medical Center in Hamburg, Germany (NCT04613089) was used as a control group (i.e., Natural History \[NH\] comparator) to determine the primary efficacy outcome measures for this study. The NH comparator was comprised of subjects from the DEM-CHILD database who satisfied the 190-201 inclusion criterion: Age ≥ 3, and at least one ML score ≥ 3 at age ≥ 3 years and further, who had at least two CLN2 assessments with values within the range 1 - 5 and at least 6 months apart.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BMN 190 and Intracerebroventricular (ICV) access device in people with Jansky-Bielschowsky Disease and Batten Disease, run by BioMarin Pharmaceutical at 4 sites in 4 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 24 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom. 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 24 Aug 2022). 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?

Probability of Unreversed 2-point Decline in Motor-language (ML) Score or Score of 0 (time frame: Up to Week 289). 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 NCT02485899, which also lists 4 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 24 Aug 2022.
