About this study

Official title: A One Year Open Label, Non-comparative Extension to a Randomized, Multicenter, Phase II Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Effects on Liver Iron Concentration (LIC) of Repeated Doses of 5-30mg/kg/Day ICL670 Relative to Deferoxamine (DFO) in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Patients With Transfusional Hemosideresis (THS) [Amendment 3: Extension Prolonged to 4-years]

The safety, tolerability, effects on liver iron concentration and pharmacokinetics of ICL670 is studied in sickle cell disease patients with transfusional hemosiderosis.

Read the detailed description

The treatment period started once the patient completed the core study and signed informed consent. It is continued for up to 4 years. Safety parameters were assessed every 4 weeks. Eye and Ear examinations were performed on a yearly basis. To further investigate the extent of iron overload, serum ferritin, iron, and transferrin were monitored every four weeks. The Program Safety Board monitored the safety of ICL670 during the study to evaluate and categorize any serious case reported in association with ICL670.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ICL670Drug

    Daily doses of ICL670 were taken orally 30 minutes before breakfast. The doses range from 5-40 mg/kg and were determined based on the patient's trend in serum ferritin over time during the core study (0109) and on the frequency of blood transfusions the patient received. The treatment duration was up to 4 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events After Start of ICL670

    Safety as assessed by the number of participants with adverse event or death after the start of ICL670.

    Measured: 0 - 60 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Serum Ferritin From Start of ICL670 to End of Study

    The main efficacy variable was change in serum ferritin in response to therapy with ICL670. Due to variability of serum ferritin, end of study was considered as the mean of at most the last 3 available observations after the start of ICL670.

    Measured: 0 - 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ICL670 in people with Sickle Cell Disease, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 39 sites in 5 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 7 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 6 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 39 sites in United States, Italy, France, Canada, 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 20 Jan 2011). 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 With Adverse Events After Start of ICL670 (time frame: 0 - 60 months). 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 6 Jun 2011.
