About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of AF37702 Injection in the Treatment of Anemia Caused by Antibody-Mediated Pure Red Cell Aplasia in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of peginesatide (AF37702) to increase and maintain increased hemoglobin levels in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (either not on dialysis, receiving regular hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, or following renal transplant) with confirmed antibody-mediated pure red cell aplasia (PRCA).

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study was peginesatide. Peginesatide injection was tested to investigate the efficacy and safety in the treatment of anemia caused by antibody-mediated pure red cell aplasia in participants with chronic kidney disease.

The study enrolled 22 patients. All the participants enrolled into the study received:

  • Peginesatide 0.5 mg/kg subcutaneous (SC) injection

The participants received a starting dose of 0.05 mg/kg (every 4 weeks) followed by 0.1 mg/kg dose, based on the assessment of the dose response in the initial group of 5 participants. The frequency of each injection and the dose adjusted based on the participant's hemoglobin response and the ability to maintain a hemoglobin level in the range of 10.0-12.0 g/dL.

This multi-center trial was conducted in Europe. The overall time to participate in this study was 10 years and 7 months approximately. Participants made multiple visits to the clinic until the projected end of treatment period, which was 31-Oct-2016.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PeginesatideExperimentalPeginesatide 0.05 mg/kg injection, subcutaneously as a starting dose followed by peginesatide 0.1 mg/kg injection, subcutaneously once every 4 weeks for up to 6 months. Individual dose of peginesatide injection was modified based on hemoglobin levels. Dose adjustments were made in order to achieve and maintain hemoglobin in the target range of 10.0-12.0 g/dL.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Increase and Maintain Hemoglobin Levels (Two Consecutive Values) Greater Than or Equal to the Lower Limit of the Target Range in the Absence of Red Blood Cell Transfusion in the Previous 28 Days by Week 24

    Percentage of participants who experienced increase and maintain hemoglobin levels (two consecutive values) greater than or equal to the lower limit (11 g/dL) in the absence of red blood cell transfusion in the previous 28 days by week 24 were reported.

    Measured: Up to Week 24

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) Transfusions During the 26 Weeks Pre-treatment Period (Prior to Enrollment) and During 13- and 26 Weeks Intervals During the Study

    Measured: 26 weeks prior to enrollment up to end of study (up to 60 months)

  2. Percentage of Participants With RBC Transfusions During the 26-week Pre-treatment Period and During 13- and 26-week Intervals During the Study

    Measured: 26 weeks prior to enrollment up to end of study (up to 60 months)

  3. Time to Initial Achievement of Hemoglobin (Hgb) Greater Than or Equal to the Lower Limit of the Target Range in the Absence of Red Blood Cell Transfusions in the Previous 28 Days

    The time between first dose administered and the initial achievement of a Hgb increase ≥11 g/dL for two consecutive visits was calculated for each participant as the number of days between the first dose administration date and the earlier of (1) the study termination date [i.e. censor date] and (2) the first date of an Hgb increase ≥ 11 g/dL for two consecutive visits without whole blood or RBC transfusion during the previous 28 days. Time to initial Hgb increase ≥ 11 g/dL will be calculated for each participant as the minimum of censor date and increase date minus the first dose date plus 1.

    Measured: Up to 60 months

  4. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and AEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect or precaution that: results in death, is life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.

    Measured: From signing of informed consent form up to Month 60

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Peginesatide in people with Anemia and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Takeda at 4 sites in 3 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 10 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 14 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United Kingdom, France, Germany. 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 14 Mar 2019). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Increase and Maintain Hemoglobin Levels (Two Consecutive Values) Greater Than or Equal to the Lower Limit of the Target Range in the Absence of Red Blood Cell Transfusion in the Previous 28 Days by Week 24 (time frame: Up to Week 24). 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 NCT00314795, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Mar 2019.
