About this study

Official title: A Phase 2B, Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Bentracimab (PB2452) in Reversing Ticagrelor in Subjects Aged 50 to 80 Years Old

This phase 2B study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of bentracimab (PB2452) in reversing the anti-platelet effects of ticagrelor as part of a dual antiplatelet regimen and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of bentracimab (PB2452) in subjects aged 50-80 years old.

A total of 205 subjects between 50-80 years old will be enrolled in the US or other countries at the discretion of the Sponsor across 5-15 sites. The subjects will be randomized at a ratio of 3:1 receiving either the bentracimab (PB2452) investigational study drug or placebo. Hence, a total of 154 subjects will be receiving bentracimab (PB2452) and approximately 51 subjects will be receiving placebo.

Read the detailed description

The study will consist of a Screening period, a Check-in day, an on-site Randomization/Treatment day, a 2-day on-site Follow-up period (Days 2 through 3), a Follow-up visit (Day 7), and a Final Follow-up visit (Day 35±3). If needed and at the discretion of the Investigator, a subject may remain in the study facility beyond the scheduled Day 3 discharge to accommodate Day 7 and Day 35±3 follow-up visits. Seven days prior to enrollment, subjects will be administered ASA 81 mg orally once daily (QD) until the final dose on Day 1. Beginning in the morning on Day -2, a single dose of oral ticagrelor 180 mg will be given, followed by oral ticagrelor 90 mg every 12 hours for 4 additional doses through to Day 1 (2 hours before study drug is initiated; this will be 5 total doses of ticagrelor).

On Day 1, subjects who meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized with 3:1 allocation ratio (active:placebo), to receive an IV dose of bentracimab (PB2452) or placebo 2 hours following the 5th ticagrelor dose. Subjects may be discharged from the clinical site on Day 3 and will return for a Follow-up visit on Day 7, if already discharged, and on Day 35 (±3 days). A subject may remain in the study facility beyond the scheduled Day 3 discharge to accommodate Day 7 and Day 35±3 follow-up visits.

If a subject is taking a moderate or strong cytochrome P450 3A isozyme (CYP3A) inhibitor, a 36 g alternative regimen of bentracimab (PB2452) will be administered consisting of 12 g infused over 10 minutes followed by a 12 g loading dose infused over 6 hours, then a maintenance dose of 12 g infused over the next 18 hours immediately following completion of the loading period for a total infusion time of approximately 24 hours.

A Phase 2 study testing Ticagrelor Oral Tablet - Pre-Treatment, Aspirin (ASA) Oral Tablet - Pre-Treatment and Bentracimab (PB2452) Infusion in people with Healthy, run by SFJ Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 15 sites in 2 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 8 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 8 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in United States, Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 8 Apr 2024). 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?

Comparison of Minimum Percent Inhibition Platelet Reactivity Unit (PRU) Assessed by VerifyNow™ PRUTest™ From Baseline to Within 4 Hours After Study Drug Start. (time frame: Baseline (pre-dose) to 4 hours after the start of infusion). 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 8 Apr 2024.
