What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BCD-148Biological

    Cycle 1 (induction therapy): 600 mg of eculizumab QW for the first four weeks; Cycle 2 (maintenance therapy): 900 mg of eculizumab at Week 5 and 900 mg of eculizumab every 14±2 days until Week 27 (inclusive) afterwards (dosing regimen for the main study period).

    QW - once weekly

  • SolirisBiological

    Active substance of Soliris is eculizumab - a monoclonal antibody that targets complement protein C5.

    Cycle 1 (induction therapy): 600 mg of eculizumab QW for the first four weeks; Cycle 2 (maintenance therapy): 900 mg of eculizumab at Week 5 and 900 mg of eculizumab every 14±2 days until Week 27 (inclusive) afterwards (dosing regimen for the main study period).

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC LDH

    AUC - Area Under Curve of Lactate dehydrogenase

    Measured: Weeks 5-27

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. The proportion of patients with thrombotic complications

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  2. The proportion of patients who required red blood cell transfusion

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  3. The proportion of patients with stable Hb level during the maintenance therapy period

    Measured: Weeks 5-27

  4. Mean Hb level over the maintenance therapy period

    Measured: Weeks 5-27

  5. Frequency of breakthrough hemolysis episodes

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  6. Changes in LDH level over time

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  7. Change in the count of circulating red blood cells with the PNH phenotype RBC

    Red blood cells (RBC )

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  8. Change in mean FACIT-Fatigue score

    FACIT Fatigue Scale is a short, 13-item, easy to administer tool that measures an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. The level of fatigue is measured on a four point Likert scale (4 = not at all fatigued to 0 = very much fatigued)

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  9. Change in mean EORTC QLQ-C30 score

    EORTC QLQ-C30 is questionnaire developed to assess the quality of life. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. Higher score for the functioning scales and global health status denote a better level of functioning (i.e. a better state of the patient), while higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms (i.e. a worse state of the patient).

    QLQ - Quality of Life Questionnaire

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  10. The proportion of patients with AE/SAE related to an investigational product, in the Investigator's opinion

    AE - adverse event, SAE - serious adverse event

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  11. The proportion of patients with СТСАЕ v.5.0 Grade 3-4 AE related to an investigational product, in the Investigator's opinion, by arm

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  12. The proportion of patients who discontinued early due to AE/SAE related to an investigational product, in the Investigator's opinion, by arm

    Measured: week 27, week 52

  13. The proportion of BAb- and NAb-positive patients.

    BAb - Binding antibodies, NAb - neutralizing antibodies

    Measured: week 27, week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing BCD-148 and Soliris in people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, run by Biocad at 1 site in Russia.

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 11 inclusion and 13 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 12 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Russia. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

AUC LDH (time frame: Weeks 5-27). 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 12 Feb 2021.
