About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib, Open Label, Multiple Ascending Dose, Pilot Study to Assess the Safety, Preliminary Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Subcutaneously Administered APL-2 in Subjects With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH)

The objectives of the study are to assess the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy and PK of multiple subcutaneous (SC) doses of pegcetacoplan in subjects with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) who have not received treatment with eculizumab in the past.

An exploratory objective of the study is to assess the pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple SC doses of pegcetacoplan when administered to PNH patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase Ib, open-label, multiple ascending dose, pilot study in patients with PNH who have not received eculizumab (Soliris)® in the past. Two cohorts of 3 subjects are planned for evaluation.

Safety will be assessed throughout the study; serial blood and urine samples will be collected for these assessments. Blood samples will be collected for the assessment of pegcetacoplan PK. Additional samples for assessment of PD will also be collected.

The study will consist of four parts;

  • Part 1: subjects will receive pegcetacoplan for 28 days.
  • Part 2A: subjects may continue to receive pegcetacoplan for a further 56 days if there is evidence of perceived clinical benefit following review of available safety, PK and PD data by the investigator and sponsor
  • Part 2B/Part 2C: subjects may continue to receive daily pegcetacoplan treatment for up to 364 days if there is ongoing evidence of clinical benefit following review of the available safety, PK and PD data. After completion of Part 2B, subjects could continue treatment with pegcetacoplan by transitioning to an open-label extension study or Part 2C, if enrollment into the extension study was not yet available. Subjects entering Part 2C continued their pegcetacoplan dose and regimen until enrollment in the open-label extension study was available.
  • Part 3: Safety follow up Screening will take place within 30 days prior to the start of dosing on Day 1. If needed (see inclusion criteria), Neisseria menigitides types A, C, W, Y and B (administered as two separate vaccinations), Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine 23 (PCV13 or PPSV23, respectively), and Haemophilus influenzae Type B (Hib) vaccinations will be administered at least 14 days prior to dosing on Day 1.

Subjects will be entered into Part 1 of the study on Day 1 at a time designated by the PI. During Part 1, the first 3 daily SC doses of pegcetacoplan (Day 1 to 3) as well as doses on Day 8, 15 and 22 will be administered at the clinical site. From Day 4 to Day 28 daily doses of pegcetacoplan will be administered off-site by a trained study nurse at the subject's home, workplace, or other location convenient to the subject with the exception of those days where dosing is at the clinical site. Following ongoing review of available safety, PK and PD data by the investigator and sponsor, subjects showing evidence of perceived clinical benefit may progress to Part 2A and then to Part 2B of the study and continue to receive daily doses of pegcetacoplan until Day 84 and then until Day 364.

Cohort 2 will not be initiated until all subjects in Cohort 1 have reached the Day 29 visit and the SMC has reviewed emerging safety and efficacy data and determined that, at the initial dose, pegcetacoplan has an acceptable safety and tolerability profile.

The planned length of participation in the study for each subject in Cohort 2 is approximately 444 days (14.5 months) from Day 30 through completion of the Day 414 Exit visit procedures).

The study is planned to take place over approximately 24 months (from screening of Cohort 1 through completion of Cohort 2).

This time period may change in the event that the study is terminated early, additional cohorts are enrolled, additional time is required to review safety between cohorts, or extended safety and PK sampling is added for a cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Including by Severity

    TEAEs were defined as adverse events (AEs) that occurred after dosing on Day 1 and up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug. A treatment-related TEAE is defined as a TEAE with a relationship to study drug of probably, possibly, unlikely, or unrelated. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any AE that resulted in death; was life-threatening; required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions; was a congenital anomaly or birth defect. TEAEs were graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03 based on: Grade 1: Mild; Grade 2: Moderate; Grade 3: Severe; Grade 4: Life-threatening; Grade 5: Death related to AE.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug (Day 1) up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug, up to approximately 563 days.

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 12 inclusion and 11 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 11 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand. 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 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.

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 11 Jan 2021). 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 Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Including by Severity (time frame: From first dose of study drug (Day 1) up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug, up to approximately 563 days.). The study lists 7 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 NCT02588833, which also lists 2 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?
