About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active and Placebo-Controlled Study on the Use of CUSA-081 for Dysfunctional Central Venous Access Devices (CVADs)

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CUSA-081 (diluted reteplase) in the restoration of central venous access device (CVAD) functionality in participants 18 years and older.

Read the detailed description

This was a phase III, multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, active and placebo-controlled study to examine CUSA-081 (diluted reteplase) versus placebo or alteplase in subjects with dysfunctional non-hemodialysis Central Venous Access Devices (CVADs).

During the study, the treatment period consisted of 1 visit that may have taken place on the same day as screening or on the following day. After complying with all inclusion criteria, subjects were randomized in a 9:1:6 ratio to CUSA-081 : placebo : alteplase treatment group. A follow-up assessment was performed on Day 30 (±2 days) after treatment with study drug. The end of the study was defined as the last follow-up contact of the last subject to receive study drug in the study.

Routine blood pressure measurement, heart rate and urine pregnancy test were performed before enrolment in the study. Throughout the study, safety assessment included evaluation of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and adverse events (AE) of Special Interest (AESI).

CUSA-081 (reteplase) is a recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), currently approved in the USA (trade name: RETAVASE®) for treatment of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to reduce the risk of death and heart failure.

Alteplase, a biosynthetic form of human tPA, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved under the brand name ACTIVASE® for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to reduce mortality and incidence of heart failure, and acute massive pulmonary embolism for lysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage Of Participants With Treatment Success Following A Single Instillation Of Study Drug With A Dwell Time Up To 90 Min -- CUSA-081 vs Placebo -- Full Analysis Set (FAS)

    CUSA-081 vs Placebo -- Single instillation of study drug -- Dwell Time Up To 90 Min -- Full Analysis Set (FAS)

    Treatment success was defined as the restoration of CVAD functionality, measured as the ability to withdraw 3 mL of blood and infuse 5 mL of saline. For this assessment, dwell time was up to 90 mins, after a single instillation of study drug. The percentage was calculated as the number of participants with treatment success divided by the total number of participants in the group, multiplied by 100%.

    Measured: Day 1 (up to 90 mins post dose)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Percentage Of Participants With Treatment Success Following A Single Instillation Of Study Drug With A Dwell Time Up To 90 Min -- CUSA-081 vs Alteplase -- Per Protocol Set (PP)

    CUSA-081 vs Alteplase -- Single instillation of study drug -- Dwell Time Up To 90 Min -- Per Protocol set (PP)

    Treatment success was defined as the restoration of CVAD functionality, measured as the ability to withdraw 3 mL of blood and infuse 5 mL of saline. For this assessment, dwell time was up to 90 mins, after a single instillation of study drug. The percentage was calculated as the number of participants with treatment success divided by the total number of participants in the group, multiplied by 100%.

    The PP set was used for sensitivity analysis when testing for non-inferiority.

    Measured: Day 1 (up to 90 min post dose)

  2. Percentage Of Participants With Treatment Success Following A Single Instillation Of Study Drug With A Dwell Time Up To 60 Min -- CUSA-081 vs Placebo -- Full Analysis Set (FAS)

    CUSA-081 vs Placebo -- Single instillation of study drug -- Dwell Time Up To 60 Min -- Full Analysis set (FAS)

    Treatment success was defined as the restoration of CVAD functionality, measured as the ability to withdraw 3 mL of blood and infuse 5 mL of saline. For this assessment, dwell time was up to 60 mins, after a single instillation of study drug.

    The percentage was calculated as the number of participants with treatment success divided by the total number of participants in the group, multiplied by 100%.

    Measured: Day 1 (up to 60 min post dose)

  3. Percentage Of Participants With Treatment Success Following 2 Instillations Of Study Drug With A Dwell Time Up To 180 Min -- CUSA-081 vs Placebo -- Full Analysis Set (FAS)

    CUSA-081 vs Placebo -- 2 Instillations of study drug -- Dwell Time Up To 180 Min -- Full Analysis set (FAS)

    Treatment success was defined as the restoration of CVAD functionality, measured as the ability to withdraw 3 mL of blood and infuse 5 mL of saline. For this assessment, dwell time was up to 180 mins, following 2 installations of the study drug. The percentage was calculated as the number of participants with treatment success divided by the total number of participants in the group, multiplied by 100%.

    Subjects received the first instillation of study drug (CUSA-081, placebo, or alteplase). If patency was not restored after 90 minutes following the first instillation, a second dose of study drug (the same drug as at first instillation) was administered.

    Measured: Day 1 (up to 180 min post dose)

  4. Percentage Of Participants With Treatment Success Following A Single Instillation Of Study Drug With A Dwell Time Up To 90 Min -- CUSA-081 vs Alteplase -- Full Analysis Set (FAS)

For this assessment, dwell time is up to 90 mins, after a single instillation of study drug. The percentage was calculated as the number of participants with treatment success divided by the total number of participants in the group, multiplied by 100%.

    Measured: Day 1 (up to 90 min post dose)

  5. Rate Of Recurrent Catheter Dysfunction Within 30 Days Following Treatment With Study Drug

    The rate of recurrent catheter dysfunction is defined as re-occlusion. The rate of recurrent catheter dysfunction within 30 days following treatment and the results of the Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards analyses of the time to first re-occlusion are presented in the FAS.

    This analysis is based on all participants with treatment success following up to 2 administrations of study drug with a total dwell time up to 180 min.

    Subjects received the first instillation of study drug (CUSA-081, placebo, or alteplase). If patency was not restored after 90 minutes following the first instillation, a second dose of study drug (the same drug as at first instillation) was administered.

    Measured: Day 1 (post dose) up to Day 30

  6. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Study Discontinuation

    Treatment-emergent AEs leading to study discontinuation were evaluated and the percentage of participants with at least one event reported.

    For all subjects who discontinued the study, the AE was 'Device breakage'.

    Measured: Day 1 (start of treatment) and until the end of the treatment period (up to 180 min post dose).

  7. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs) of Special Interest (AESI)

    Treatment-emergent AEs of special interest (AESI) were monitored. These included major bleeding (defined as severe blood loss [>5 mL/kg] or blood loss requiring transfusion or causing hypotension requiring use of inotropic agents), embolism, thrombosis, and catheter-related blood stream infection. An adverse event was considered as treatment-emergent if it started on or after the first dose of study drug intake up to the end of the 180-minute treatment period.

    Measured: Day 1 (start of treatment) and until the end of the treatment period (up to 180 min post dose).
