About this study
Official title: A Phase 2 Interventional, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label Study in Three Age-descending Cohorts to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of KAF156 and Lumefantrine-SDF Combination in the Treatment of Acute Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in a Pediatric Population
This study aimed to determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the investigational drug KAF156 in combination with a solid dispersion formulation of lumefantrine (LUM-SDF) in pediatric patients (6 months to < 18 years of age) with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria. There is an unmet medical need for anti-malarial treatment with a new mechanism of action to reduce the probability of developing resistance.
Read the detailed description
This Phase 2 study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the investigational drug KAF156 and a Solid Dispersion Formulation of lumefantrine (LUM-SDF) when administered in combination in pediatric patients 6 months to < 18 years of age with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. In addition, pharmacokinetics (PK) of the drug combination was also evaluated.
There were three age-descending cohorts in the study: Run-in Cohort (12 years to < 18 years), Cohort 1 (2 years to < 12 years) and Cohort 2 (6 months to < 2 years). The rationale for separated cohorts 1 and 2 was to allow enrolment of the youngest patients (cohort 2) after safety and exposure review of older patients in cohort 1. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, for all outcomes measures the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2). This new study first explored the effect of food on lumefantrine and KAF156 pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients 12 to < 18 years old with malaria caused by P. falciparum. Based on the data from the Run-in Cohort, recommendation on dose, dosing regimen, dosage administration (with food) and duration were provided before younger patients in Cohorts 1 and 2 were dosed with KAF156/LUM-SDF. Then, efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK of the combination of KAF156/LUM-SDF in comparison with Coartem®(Artemether/Lumefantrine) were evaluated in younger patients, in pooled Cohort 1/2.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-Corrected Adequate Clinical and Parasitological Response (ACPR) - Cohorts 1 and 2 Pooled
PCR-corrected ACPR, defined as the absence of parasitemia(PS), was evaluated on Day29. Microscopic species identification was confirmed and determined by PCR genotyping methods to establish malaria recrudescence/reinfection.A participant was considered as PCR corrected ACPR at Day29 if the participant did not meet any of the criteria of early treatment failure (up to Day4), late clinical failure(Day5 to Day29) or late parasitological failure(Day8 to Day29), and had absence of PS on Day29 irrespective of axillary temperature unless the presence of PS after 7days(Day8 or later) was due to reinfection based on PCR genotyping.A presence of PS after 7days of treatment initiation was considered as a reinfection only if the PS was clear before Day8 and none of the parasite strain(s) detected on Day8 or later match with the parasite strain at baseline based on PCR genotyping.Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power,the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled.
Measured: Day 29
Secondary outcomes (14)
PCR-corrected and Uncorrected Adequate Clinical and Parasitological Response (ACPR)
PCR-corrected ACPR, defined as the absence of parasitemia, was evaluated. Microscopic species identification was confirmed and determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping methods to establish malaria recrudescence/reinfection.
A participant was considered as PCR-corrected ACPR if the participant did not meet any of the criteria of early treatment failure, late clinical failure or late parasitological failure and had absence of parasitemia on Days 15, 29 or 43 irrespective of axillary temperature unless the presence of parasitemia after 7 days was due to reinfection based on PCR. A presence of parasitemia after 7 days of treatment initiation was considered as a reinfection only if the parasitemia was clear before Day 8 and none of the parasite strain(s) detected on Day 8 or later matched with the parasite strain at baseline based on PCR. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2).
Measured: Corrected ACPR: Day 15, Day 43; Uncorrected ACPR: Day 15, Day 29 and Day 43
PCR-corrected Adequate Clinical and Parasitological Response (ACPR) - Run-in Cohort
PCR-corrected ACPR, defined as the absence of parasitemia, was evaluated on Day 29. Microscopic species identification was confirmed and determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping methods to establish malaria recrudescence/reinfection. A participant was considered as PCR corrected ACPR at Day 29 if the participant did not meet any of the criteria of early treatment failure (ETF) (up to Day 4), late clinical failure (LCF) (Day 5 to Day 29) or late parasitological failure (LPF) (Day 8 to Day 29), and had absence of parasitaemia on Day 29 irrespective of axillary temperature unless the presence of parasitaemia after 7 days (Day 8 or later) was due to reinfection based on PCR genotyping. A presence of parasitaemia after 7 days of treatment initiation was considered as a reinfection only if the parasitaemia was clear before Day 8 and none of the parasite strain(s) detected on Day 8 or later match with the parasite strain at baseline based on PCR genotyping.
Measured: Day 29
Parasite Clearance Time (PCT)
PCT is defined as time from the first dose until the first total and continued disappearance of asexual parasite forms which remained at least a further 48 hours. PCT is based on uncorrected parasite counts. PCT was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2).
Measured: up to 43 days
Fever Clearance Times (FCT)
FCT is defined as time from the first dose until the first time the axillary body temperature decreased below and remained below 37.5°C axillary or 38.0°C oral/tympanic/rectal for at least a further 24 hours.
FCT was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Participants who received any antimalarial medication (including rescue medication) before fever clearance are censored at the first use of antimalarial medication.
Participants without fever clearance are censored at the time of last fever assessment. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2).
Measured: up to 43 days
Percentage Early Treatment Failure (ETF)
Participants were defined as early treatment failures (ETFs) if they developed danger signs or severe malaria on Day 2, Day 3, or Day 4 in the presence of parasitemia, parasitemia on Day 3 with a count higher than the Day 1 count irrespective of axillary temperature, parasitemia on Day 4 with axillary temperature ≥ 37.5°C, or parasitemia on Day 4 with a count equal to or more than 25% of the count on Day 1. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2).
Measured: From Day 1 to Day 4
Percentage Late Clinical Failure (LCF)
Participants were defined as late clinical failures (LCFs) if they developed danger signs or severe malaria on any day from Day 5 to Day 43 in the presence of parasitemia without previously meeting any of the criteria of ETF, or if they had parasitemia and an axillary temperature of ≥ 37.5°C on any day from Day 5 to Day 43 without previously meeting any of the criteria of ETF. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2).
Measured: Day 5 to Day 43
Percentage Late Parasitological Failure (LPF)
Participants were defined as late parasitological failures (LPFs) if they had parasitemia on any day from Day 8 to Day 43 and an axillary temperature < 37.5°C without previously meeting any of the criteria of ETF or LCF. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2).
Measured: Day 8 to Day 43
Number of Participants With Recrudescence Events
Recrudescence is defined as appearance of asexual parasites after clearance of initial infection with a genotype identical to that of parasites present at baseline. Recrudescence had to be confirmed by PCR analysis. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2).
Measured: Day 15, Day 29 and Day 43
Number of Participants With New Infections Events
New infection is defined as appearance of asexual parasites after clearance of initial infection with a genotype different from those parasites present at baseline. New infection had to be confirmed by PCR analysis. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2).
Measured: Day 15, Day 29 and Day 43
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (any AE regardless of seriousness), and SAEs. Given the age-independent symptoms of acute malaria, and to increase statistical power, the cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled (cohort 1/2).
Measured: Adverse events were reported from first dose of study treatment until end of study treatment up to a maximum duration of approximately 43 days.
KAF156 and Lumefantrine (LUM) Cmax
Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration following drug administration. PK parameters are calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods. Analyte KAF156 is not applicable for Artemether80mg/LUM480mg arm.
Measured: Run-in Cohort:Pre-dose,1,3,4,5,6,8,24,25,27,28,29,30,32,48,72,168 hours; Cohort 1 and 2 KAF400mg/LUM480mg-QDx3 6-12 years: 3,6,24,48,51,54,72,168 hours; 6 months -<6 years:24,48,51,54,72,168 hours;Cohort 1 and 2 Artemether80mg/LUM480mg:24,48,68,168 hours
KAF156 and Lumefantrine Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Measurable Concentration Sampling Time (AUClast)
AUC is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve. PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods. The Artemether80mg/LUM480mg arms (standard of care) involved limited pharmacokinetic sampling at 24, 48, 68, and 168 hours following the first dose administration. In contrast, the KAF156 arms had a more extensive sampling, varying by age group, which included time points at 3, 6, 24, 48, 51, 54, 72, and 168 hours following first dose. Due to the limited sampling in the Artemether80mg/LUM480mg arms, it was not planned (per protocol) to calculate AUC values.
Measured: Run-in Cohort:Pre-dose,1,3,4,5,6,8,24,25,27,28,29,30,32,48,72,168 hours; Cohort 1 and 2 KAF400mg/LUM480mg-QDx3 6-12 years: 3,6,24,48,51,54,72,168 hours; 6 months -< 6 years: 24,48,51,54,72,168 hours.
KAF156 and Lumefantrine Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration After Drug Administration (Tmax)
Tmax is the time to reach maximum plasma concentration following drug administration. PK parameters are calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods. The Artemether80mg/LUM480mg arms (standard of care) involved limited pharmacokinetic sampling at 24, 48, 68, and 168 hours following the first dose administration. In contrast, the KAF156 arm had a more extensive sampling, varying by age group, which included time points at 3, 6, 24, 48, 51, 54, 72, and 168 hours following first dose. PK samples for the Artemether80mg/LUM480mg arms were collected around the expected Tmax (at 68 hours, i.e., 8 hours after the last dose, based on the known Tmax of lumefantrine in Coartem) to determine Cmax values; in line with the protocol, separate Tmax values were not calculated.
Measured: Run-in Cohort:Pre-dose,1,3,4,5,6,8,24,25,27,28,29,30,32,48,72,168 hours; Cohort 1 and 2 KAF400mg/LUM480mg-QDx3 6-12 years: 3,6,24,48,51,54,72,168 hours; 6 months -< 6 years: 24,48,51,54,72,168 hours.
KAF156 and Lumefantrine Plasma Drug Concentration 168 Hours Post First Dose Administration (C168h)
C168h is the plasma concentration at 168h post first dose administration. PK parameters are calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods. Analyte KAF156 is not applicable for Artemether80mg/LUM480mg arm.
Measured: at 168 hours
