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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Oxygen dependency due to an end-staged lung disease (pre-lung transplant population) or ALI/acute lung injury (for example but not limited to primary allograft dysfunction, infectious pneumonia, aspiration, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema). ALI will be defined as per Berlin criteria with a P/F ratio <100 denoting severe ARDS, <200 denoting moderate and <300 mild ARDS. ALI and mild ARDS are considered synonymous. In the event of inability to obtain arterial blood gas analysis to calculate a P/F ratio, we will consider a range of patients requiring standard nasal cannulae flowing at 6l/min to maintain SaO2 >90% as ALI, and Salter High -Flow nasal cannulae at 12-15l/min in order to maintain SaO2>85% as severe ARDS.
  • At least 48 hours of stable, increased oxygen requirement or ventilatory support prior to the start of drug administration if consented.

Who cannot join

  • Minors (<18 years)
  • Pre-existing congestive cardiac failure (NYHA III or IV)
  • Medically significant, non-revascularized coronary artery disease
  • Inability to obtain informed consent from LAR
  • Pregnancy
  • Incarcerated individual.
Show all 18Show fewer
  • Failure of another vital organ.
  • Severe hepatic impairment (Childs-Pugh C) or liver enzymes > 4x upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening.
  • Unstable acute kidney injury/rising creatinine.
  • Chronic neuromuscular disease requiring mechanical ventilation
  • Not anticipated to survive >48 hours
  • Limited therapeutic goals (do not resuscitate, etc.)
  • History of Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
  • Requires treatment with Fluconazole or other moderate and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors listed in section 5.6
  • A patient with active bleeding complications requiring more than 1 unit of blood transfusion per day, as the PK and PD of Voxelotor in the setting of blood loss and blood transfusion is unknown.
  • Participated in another clinical trial of an investigational drug (or medical device) within 30 days or 5-half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to consent, or is currently participating in another trial of an investigational or marketed drug (or medical device)
  • Any condition including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study
  • Any condition or concomitant medication that confounds the ability to interpret data from the study or safely use Voxelotor.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2b Open-Label, Single Arm Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Voxelotor for Improving Oxygen Saturation and Reducing Ventilatory Support Requirements in Adult Patients With New or Increased Oxygen Requirement

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of voxelotor for increasing oxygen saturation in 20 patients with hypoxemia. Specifically, the SpO2/FiO2 ratio will be compared before and after voxelotor use at rest and during exercise (ambulatory patients only).

The primary study objective is to evaluate the efficacy of voxelotor for increasing oxygen saturation in patients with hypoxic hypoxemia as a result of end-stage lung disease or acute lung injury.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of voxelotor on allowing de-escalation of supplemental oxygen support.

Read the detailed description

Purpose of the study: Primary study objective is to evaluate the efficacy of voxelotor for increasing oxygen saturation in patients with hypoxic hypoxemia as a result of end-stage lung disease or acute lung injury.

Design and Procedures: The day after obtaining written informed consent, 20 patients will receive 500 mg of voxelotor two times a day (for a total daily dose of 1000 mg per day) for 5 days This dose may increase to a total maximum daily dose of 1500 mg (500 mg three times a day) if subject tolerates initial dose as determined by Principal Investigator (PI).

Physiological data at screening, baseline, study day 1 - 5, and up to two days post voxelotor administration will be recorded from standard of care with the only exception being SpO2/FiO2 (S/F) ratio measurements, which will be obtained at the same intervals but by the qualified and delegated study staff or medical team through the use of an FiO2 weaning maneuver.

Study subjects will be asked to rate their dyspnea symptoms daily to record their perceived shortness of breath.

Blood samples will be collected the day prior to voxelotor administration, on study days 1 - 5, and on the 2 wash-out days following voxelotor administration.

    Also called Oxbryta®

    500 mg of voxelotor will be administered two times a day (for a total daily dose of 1000 mg per day) for 5 days. This dose may increase to a total maximum daily dose of 1500 mg (500 mg three times a day) if subject tolerates initial dose as determined by Principal Investigator (PI).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in SpO2/FiO2 (S/F) Ratio From Baseline to 2 Days After Initiation of Voxelotor Treatment

    SpO2 (oxygen saturation) is the percentage of oxygen in the blood. The fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is the concentration of oxygen a person inhales.

    Measured: baseline to 2 days after initiation of voxelotor treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Voxelotor in people with Acute Lung Injury and End Stage Lung Disease, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2024. 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 United States. 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 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 Jul 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?

Change in SpO2/FiO2 (S/F) Ratio From Baseline to 2 Days After Initiation of Voxelotor Treatment (time frame: baseline to 2 days after initiation of voxelotor treatment). 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 24 Jul 2024.
