About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Long-Term Extension Study To Assess The Safety, Efficacy, And Pharmacodynamics Of AT2101 In Adult Patients With Type 1 Gaucher Disease

This study evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of afegostat tartrate in participants with Gaucher disease who were enrolled in a previous Phase 2 study of afegostat tartrate.

Read the detailed description

This was an open-label, long-term extension study of afegostat tartrate in participants with type 1 Gaucher disease who successfully completed Study GAU-CL-202 (NCT00446550). Participants could enter the study immediately upon completion of participation in the lead-in study GAU-CL-202, or at any later time point. Participants received 225 milligram (mg) afegostat tartrate, administered orally for 30 months, and remained in 1 of the 2 randomized treatment regimens of Study GAU-CL-202: afegostat tartrate once daily (QD) for 3 consecutive days, then no afegostat tartrate for 4 consecutive days (consecutive 3-days-on/4-days-off) or QD for 7 consecutive days, then no afegostat tartrate for 7 days (consecutive 7-days-on/7-days-off). Amendment 2 removed the 7-days-on/7-days-off regimen and added an alternative 3-days-on/4-days-off regimen: afegostat tartrate QD on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, then no afegostat tartrate on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday (MWF 3-days-on/4-days-off). Once Amendment 2 was implemented at a site, participants assigned to the 7-days-on/7-days-off regimen switched to a 3-days-on/4-days-off regimen; those on the original 3-days-on/4-days-off regimen could switch to the MWF 3-days-on/4-days-off regimen. Amendment 4 removed the original 3-days-on/4-days-off regimen and any participants still on that regimen switched to the MWF 3-days-on/4-days-off regimen. Study visits occurred every 3 months for 30 months. Participants were contacted approximately 1, 3, and 6 months after the end of treatment (EOT) or early termination for follow-up assessments.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Afegostat Tartrate Treatment Regimen 1ExperimentalAfegostat tartrate was administered orally at a dose of 225 mg QD for 3 or 7 consecutive days followed by no study medication for 4 or 7 consecutive days (consecutive 3-days-on/4-days-off or 7-days-on/7-days-off, respectively). Amendment 2 added a MWF 3-days-on/4-days-off regimen. After Amendment 2 was implemented, all participants were assigned to one of the two 3-days-on/4-days-off regimens. Amendment 4 removed the consecutive 3-days-on/4-days-off regimen, and all participants were assigned to the MWF 3-days-on/4-days-off regimen. Participants were to receive afegostat tartrate for 30 months and be followed for 6 months after EOT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number Of Participants Who Experienced Severe Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    A TEAE was defined as any adverse event (AE) with start date on or after administration of study drug or pre-existing conditions that worsened on or after the start of the first study drug administration (on Day 1). A severe AE defined as an AE that was incapacitating and required medical intervention. The number of participants who experienced 1 or more severe TEAEs after dosing on Day 1 through the end of follow-up is presented. A summary of serious and all other non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Day 1 (after dosing) through end of follow-up (6 months after EOT)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline To EOT In Volume Of Spleen As Assessed By Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    Standard MRI procedures were used to measure the volume of the spleen. The baseline value was defined as the value recorded on Days 1 to 3 of the study (certain values could have been carried over from the last assessment in the lead-in study, GAU-CL-202). A negative change from Baseline indicates that spleen volume decreased.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 30

  2. Change From Baseline To EOT In Volume Of Liver As Assessed By MRI

    Standard MRI procedures were used to measure the volume of the liver. The baseline value was defined as the value recorded on Days 1 to 3 of the study (certain values could have been carried over from the last assessment in the lead-in study, GAU-CL-202). A negative change from Baseline indicates that liver volume decreased.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing afegostat tartrate in people with Gaucher Disease and Type 1 Gaucher Disease, run by Amicus Therapeutics at 4 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 15 Aug 2018. 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 States, United Kingdom. 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 15 Aug 2018). 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?

Number Of Participants Who Experienced Severe Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Day 1 (after dosing) through end of follow-up (6 months after EOT)). 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 15 Aug 2018.
