About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Multicenter, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of OK-432 Immunotherapy in Individuals With Lymphatic Malformations

Standard of care for Lymphatic Malformations has been surgical excision. We have been using OK432/Picibanil (generously supplied by Chugai Pharmaceuticals in Japan) since 1992 with great success for macrocystic disease.

The objective of the study was to provide OK-432 immunotherapy to subjects with macrocystic or mixed (> 50% macrocystic) lymphatic malformations (LMs) and investigate the efficacy and safety of OK 432 as a treatment option in subjects with LMs.

Read the detailed description

Lymphatic malformations are uncommon tumors that represent localized malformations in the development of the lymphatic system. They typically present in children under 2 years of age and in almost 50% of the cases, are diagnosed at birth. There is neither a racial nor a sexual tendency. The malformations can occur anywhere on the body, but typically they are in the head/neck area.

Morbidity can be significant. Besides the obvious cosmetic deformity caused by these tumors, there is risk of infection and airway compromise and even obstruction. However, effective therapeutic options are limited. Small lesions can be observed, although spontaneous resolution is unlikely. For larger lesions, surgery has been the traditional form of therapy. In the head and neck, in particular, lymphangiomas typically wrap themselves around major neurovascular structures, making total excision removal difficult, if not impossible, and thus the likelihood of recurrence is quite high. Because of these surgical limitations, alternate therapies have been considered; including cryotherapy, diathermy, and chemical sclerotherapy.

The investigators experience with using the drug for macrocystic disease(large cysts) since 1992 in the United States has been very promising compared to traditional surgery. Recurrence rate to date, has been very minimal as well. (<2%)

After the conclusion of the Phase 2 randomized study, all new subjects who presented with an LM and were eligible for treatment were treated under an open-label protocol for continued access to OK-432. This multicenter, open label study enrolled subjects between September 2005 and November 2017.

What participants receive

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

  • OK432Drug

    Also called Picibanil

    OK432 will be injected at dosage of 0.01 to 0.05 mg/mL 6-12 weeks apart up to 4 injections total.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Success at 1 to 6 Months Post-Therapy as Assessed by Imaging

    Clinical success was defined as having either a complete (90% 100%) or substantial (60% 89%) reduction in lymphatic malformation (LM) volume after treatment. Response was determined using post treatment imaging studies at approximately 1 to 6 months after completion of treatment

    Measured: 1 to 6 Months Post-Therapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Response 1 to 6 Months Post-Therapy as Assessed by Imaging

    Number of participants who demonstrated a complete (90%-100% reduction in LM volume), substantial (60%-89% reduction in LM volume), intermediate (20%-59% reduction in LM volume), or no (< 20% reduction in LM volume) response 1 to 6 months post-therapy as assessed by imaging

    Measured: 1 to 6 Months Post-Therapy

  2. Number of Participants With Investigator-Evaluated Overall Response

    Investigator evaluated post-therapy clinical response based on physical exam and/or ultrasound was categorized as "Clinical Improvement" or "No Change" in the size of the cyst.

    Measured: 1 to 6 Months Post-Therapy

  3. Change From Baseline in Lesion Volume

    Percent change from baseline in lesion volume - pre-therapy to post therapy assessed by imaging.

    Measured: Baseline and 1 to 6 Months Post-Therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing OK432 in people with Lymphatic Malformations, run by Richard JH Smith at 14 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 23 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United States. 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 28 Oct 2021). 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 Clinical Success at 1 to 6 Months Post-Therapy as Assessed by Imaging (time frame: 1 to 6 Months Post-Therapy). 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 23 Nov 2021.
