About this study

Official title: A Pilot Project to Evaluate the Feasibility of Constructing a Concurrent External Control for Recifercept

The purpose of this study is to learn about the study medicine (called recifercept) in people with achondroplasia. Achondroplasia is a very rare disease and patients of achondroplasia have short arms and legs. The study will include data already collected from a recifercept clinical trial and data collected from a separate study of achondroplasia. This study will compare patient experiences and will help the investigators determine if the study medicine, recifercept, is effective.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Height Growth at Month 3

    Height growth was defined as ratio of observed change from baseline in standing height (centimeter) to expected change from baseline (centimeter) in reference population. For C4181001 cohort, baseline value was defined as the value recorded at the date of informed consent, whereas for C4181005 cohort the baseline value was the value taken at Day 1 before dosing.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3 [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]

  2. Mean Height Growth at Month 6

    Height growth was defined as ratio of observed change from baseline in standing height (centimeter) to expected change from baseline (centimeter) in reference population. For C4181001 cohort, baseline value was defined as the value recorded at the date of informed consent, whereas for C4181005 cohort the baseline value was the value taken at Day 1 before dosing.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6 [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]

  3. Mean Height Growth at Month 9

    Height growth was defined as ratio of observed change from baseline in standing height (centimeter) to expected change from baseline (centimeter) in reference population. For C4181001 cohort, baseline value was defined as the value recorded at the date of informed consent, whereas for C4181005 cohort the baseline value was the value taken at Day 1 before dosing.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 9 [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]

  4. Mean Height Growth at Month 12

    Height growth was defined as ratio of observed change from baseline in standing height (centimeter) to expected change from baseline (centimeter) in reference population. For C4181001 cohort, baseline value was defined as the value recorded at the date of informed consent, whereas for C4181005 cohort the baseline value was the value taken at Day 1 before dosing.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12 [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Arm Span to Height/Length Difference at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12

    Arm span to standing height or length difference was defined as absolute value (arm length [centimeter] - standing height [centimeter]). For C4181001 cohort, baseline value was defined as the value recorded at the date of informed consent, whereas for C4181005 cohort the baseline value was the value taken at Day 1 before dosing.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]

  2. Mean Change From Baseline in Knee Height: Lower Segment Ratio at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12

    Knee height: lower segment ratio was the ratio of knee to heel length to the difference between standing height and sitting height. For C4181001 cohort, baseline value was defined as the value recorded at the date of informed consent, whereas for C4181005 cohort the baseline value was the value taken at Day 1 before dosing.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]

  3. Mean Change From Baseline in Height Standard Deviation Score (Z-Score) at Months 3, 6, 9, 12

    Z-score was calculated as the difference between mean observed standing height at specified visit and mean value of reference population divided by standard deviation of reference population. Z score indicated how similar the participant was to the reference population. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and is considered normal. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the mean and higher numbers indicate values higher than the mean. For C4181001 cohort, baseline value was defined as the value recorded at the date of informed consent, whereas for C4181005 cohort the baseline value was the value taken at Day 1 before dosing.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]

  4. Number of Participants With Achondroplasia Related Orthopedic Complications

    Achondroplasia related orthopedic complications included lordosis, kyphosis, small foramen magnum: foramen magnum is slightly narrow and the spinal cord is slightly compressed at the level, foramen magnum stenosis, foramen magnum stenosis with associated c1-c2 secondary myelopathy, foramen magnum stenosis with mild posterior deformity of bulbospinal union, foramen magnum stenosis without spinal cord alteration, cervical myelomalacia; bulbar compression, marked stenosis of the foramen magnum with evident compression of bulb and bulb-medulla passage, mild foramen magnus stenosis, mild stenosis of foramen magnum, moderate to severe narrowing of the foramen magnum, severe stenosis at foramen magnum and stenosis foramen magnum.

    Measured: C4181005 cohorts: 12 months; C4181001 cohort: 5 years [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]

  5. Number of Participants With Other Achondroplasia Related Orthopedic Complications

    Other achondroplasia related orthopedic complications included otitis media, otitis media acute, hydrocephalus and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

    Measured: C4181005 cohorts: 12 months; C4181001 cohort: 5 years [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Achondroplasia, run by Pfizer 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 20 Sep 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Sep 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?

Mean Height Growth at Month 3 (time frame: Baseline, Month 3 [Eligible data extracted and observed in this retrospective cohort study from 19-October-2022 to 16-May-2023 (approximately 7 months)]). The study lists 4 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 NCT05659719, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
