About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Multicenter Open-label Dose Escalation Study of HGT-1110 Administered Intrathecally in Children With Metachromatic Leukodystrophy

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of ascending doses of HGT-1110 administered by intrathecal (IT) injection for 38 weeks (20 injections) in children with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).

Read the detailed description

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an inherited, autosomal recessive disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme, arylsulfatase A (ASA). MLD is a rare disease that occurs in most parts of the world. The estimated overall incidence of the disease in the western world is approximately 1 in 100,000 live births that varies by geographic location. There are no approved therapies for MLD.

This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety of up to 3 dose levels (10, 30, or 100 mg) of HGT-1110 administered via an intrathecal drug delivery device (IDDD) every other week (EOW) for a total of 38 weeks (20 injections, Weeks 0 to 38) to children with MLD. The study also includes the assessment of HGT-1110 drug product produced with a revised drug substance manufacturing process (referred to as Process B) in a fourth cohort (Cohort 4). Approximately 24 patients will be enrolled and will receive treatment of HGT-1110. Patients will be sequentially enrolled into 4 dose cohorts, approximately 6 patients each. Patient enrollment will be staggered in this study to facilitate adequate safety monitoring per dose cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by Type and Severity

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAEs were defined as all AEs that occurred at or after the first dose of the investigational product or device implant surgery (whichever occurred earlier) and through the last follow-up date. Drug-related and device-related types of TEAEs were analyzed and reported. The severity of AEs was assessed by the investigator using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.0 grading scale. Severity of all AEs or SAEs was recorded as grade 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 corresponding, respectively, to a severity of mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening, or fatal. Here SDI refers to surgical device implantation.

Body weight and height measurements were used to calculate the body mass index (BMI). Head circumference was measured in uniform manner for all participants. Clinical significance was defined as any variation in physical findings that had medical relevance resulting in an alteration in medical care. Clinically significant abnormalities related to physical examination were recorded and reported as TEAE. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAEs were defined as all AEs that occurred at or after the first dose of the investigational product or device implant surgery (whichever occurred earlier) and through the last follow-up date.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAEs were defined as all AEs that occurred at or after the first dose of the investigational product or device implant surgery (whichever occurred earlier) and through the last follow-up date.

    Measured: From start of study treatment up to Week 40

  7. Number of Participants With Positive Anti-SHP611 Antibodies in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) and or Serum

Secondary outcomes (21)
  1. Change From Baseline in Motor Function Using Gross Motor Function Measure 88 (GMFM-88) Total Score at Week 40

    The GMFM-88 was used to measure motor function. The GMFM-88 item scores were used to calculate domain-specific percent score for each of the 5 GMFM-88 dimensions (lying and rolling; sitting; crawling and kneeling; standing; walking, running, and jumping), and a total GMFM-88 (percent) score was calculated based on each dimension score. Each of the 88 items was rated on a 4-point scale: 0=does not initiate; 1=initiates; 2=partially completes; and 3=completes. The GMFM-88 total scores ranged from 0% (no mobility) to a score of 100%, that is (i.e,) the score that can be obtained by an average 5-year-old or older child with normal motor abilities.

This test measures the following 4 key domains: communication, daily living skills, socialization, motor skills, and the adaptive behavior composite (ABC) (a composite of the other 4 domain). Items in each domain are rated as either 0 (does not), 1(sometimes) or 2(independently) performs a given behavior or skill. The 4 domain standard scores range from 20-160 and higher scores indicate a higher level of functioning. ABC scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 (range = 20 to 160) and higher scores indicate a higher level of functioning. A positive change value indicates improvement in adaptive functioning.

The questionnaire was organized by 8 domains (ie, personal care; positioning, transfer, or mobility; eating; pain and discomfort during the day; sleep; emotions; communication; and play and leisure activities). The COMFORT scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a decline in the functioning.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Recombinant human arylsulfatase A in people with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD), run by Shire at 5 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 17 inclusion and 16 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 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Oct 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 With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by Type and Severity (time frame: From start of study treatment up to Week 42). The study lists 7 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 NCT01510028, 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 Jun 2021.
