About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Intracerebroventricular BMN 190 in Pediatric Patients < 18 Years of Age With CLN2 Disease

This Phase 2 open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BMN 190 intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration every other week (qow) for a period of 144 weeks, in patients with CLN2. The study is designed to assess disease progression in CLN2 patients treated with BMN 190 compared to natural history data from untreated historical controls.

Read the detailed description

BMN 190 is a recombinant form of human tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1), the enzyme deficient in patients with CLN2 diseases (also known as classical late-infantile CLN2, cLINCL, or Jansky-Bielschowsky disease), a form of Batten Disease. As an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), BMN 190 is designed to help restore TPP1 enzyme activity. BMN 190 is designed to reduce the progressive, pathologic accumulation of lysosomal storage material. 190-203 is a Phase 2 open-label, multicenter study that will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BMN 190 in pediatric patients < 18 years of age with CLN2 disease. Study drug dosing will be determined by the patient's age and administered via intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion every other week (qow), for a duration of 144 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Motor Language (ML) Scale: Rate of Decline in the 0 to 6-point ML Score.

    Rate of decline in 0 to 6-point ML score, \& primary analysis was based on up to 3-1 matching of Study 190-901 evaluable participants with Study 190-203 ITT participants.

    Rate of decline =(-1)x(48x7)x(Ending score - Starting score)/(Ending date - Starting date)

    A positive rate of decline means that subject declined, a negative rate of decline means that subject improved.

    The combined motor/gait and language (ML) score, as derived from Hamburg CLN2 rating scale, immediately preceding first infusion. The combined ML score is determined as sum of 0-3 point motor(M) \& language(L) subscales where 0 represents no function, \& 3 represents normal function, \& can range from 0(severely impaired) to 6(normal). Thus,high scores describe better function \& low scores describe poor function.

    The starting assessment is baseline ML assessment \& ending assessment is last ML score >0. Note for Study 190-901, baseline ML assessment is defined as assessment of matching to Study 190-203 subj.

    Measured: Baseline to Last assessment (Week 169)

  2. Probability of Unreversed 2-Point Decline in Motor-language (ML) Score or Score of 0

    An unreversed 2-point decline is any decline of 2 points or more that had not reversed to a 1-point decline (or better) at last recorded observation. An unreversed score of 0 is a decline to 0 that had not increased to a score >0 at last recorded observation

    ML score decline is measured by motor \& language domains on CLN2 rating scale. Combined motor/gait \&language (ML) score, as derived from Hamburg CLN2 rating scale, immediately preceding first infusion. Combined ML score is determined as sum of the 0-3 point motor(M)\&language(L) where 0 represents no function, \& 3 represents normal function, \& can range from 0 (severely impaired) to 6 (normal). Thus, high scores describe better function \& low scores describe poor function

    Model includes data up to week 169. Estimates from the model are presented for Wks 49, 97 \& 145

    No.analyzed is no.of subj out of overall no.of participants analyzed who have not been censored/had unreversed 2-point decline/score of 0 at given time points.

    Measured: Baseline to Last assessment (Week 169)

  3. Probability of Decline of Unreversed Motor-language (ML) Score of 0

    The combined motor/gait and language (ML) score, as derived from the Hamburg CLN2 rating scale, immediately preceding the first infusion. The combined ML score is determined as the sum of the 0-3 point motor (M) and language (L) subscales where 0 represents no function, and 3 represents normal function, and can range from 0 (severely impaired) to 6 (normal). Thus, high scores describe better function and low scores describe poor function.

    Model includes data up to week 169. Estimates from the model are presented for Weeks 49, 97 and 145.

    No.analyzed is no.of subj out of overall no.of participants analyzed who have not been censored/had unreversed decline/score of 0 at given time points

    Measured: Baseline to Last assessment (Week 169)

  4. Rate of Decline in Individual Motor Domains

    Rate of decline = (-1) x (48 x 7) x (Ending score - Starting score)/(Ending date - Starting date).

    A positive rate of decline means that the subject declined, a negative rate of decline means that the subject improved.

    The 0-3 point motor (M) subscales, as derived from the Hamburg CLN2 rating scale, where 0 represents no function, and 3 represents normal function. Thus, high scores describe better function, and low scores describe poor function.

    Measured: Baseline to Last assessment (Week 169)

  5. Rate of Decline in Individual Language Domains

    Rate of decline = (-1) x (48 x 7) x (Ending score - Starting score)/(Ending date - Starting date).

    A positive rate of decline means that the subject declined, a negative rate of decline means that the subject improved.

    The 0-3 point language (L) subscales, as derived from the Hamburg CLN2 rating scale, where 0 represents no function, and 3 represents normal function. Thus, high scores describe better function and low scores describe poor function.

    Patients with baseline score of 0 are excluded.

    Measured: Baseline to Last assessment (Week 169)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Probability of Decline of Disease Manifestation at Week 49 & 97

  3. Change From Baseline in ML Scale Score

    The combined motor/gait and language (ML) score, as derived from the Hamburg CLN2 rating scale, immediately preceding the first infusion. The combined ML score is determined as the sum of the 0-3 point motor (M) and language (L) subscales where 0 represents no function, and 3 represents normal function, and can range from 0 (severely impaired) to 6 (normal). Thus, high scores describe better function and low scores describe poor function.
