STABIL Study: National Study With Mircera for Maintenance of Hemoglobin Level in Dialysis Patients

May 17, 2016 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

A Single Arm, Open Label Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Once-monthly Administration of Intravenous C.E.R.A. for the Maintenance of Haemoglobin Levels in Dialysis Patients With Chronic Renal Anaemia

This single arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of once-monthly administration of intravenous Mircera for the maintenance of hemoglobin levels in dialysis participants with chronic renal anemia. Participants will receive monthly intravenous injections of Mircera, at a starting dose of 120, 200 or 360 micrograms, according to the dose of epoetin administered in the week preceding first study drug administration. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Chronic renal anemia;
  • Continuous stable intravenous maintenance epoetin therapy during previous month;
  • Regular long-term hemodialysis therapy with the same mode of dialysis for previous 3 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Transfusion of red blood cells during previous 2 months;
  • Poorly controlled hypertension, that is, sitting blood pressure exceeding 170/100 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) despite medication;

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Maintaining Average Hemoglobin Concentration Within +/-1 Gram Per Deciliter (g/dL) of Reference and Within the Target Range
Time Frame: Week 17 up to Week 24
Percentage of participants maintaining their mean hemoglobin concentration in g/dL within plus or minus (+/-) 1 g/dL of their reference hemoglobin value, and between the target range of 10.0 and 12.0 g/dL during the efficacy evaluation period (EEP). The reference hemoglobin value was defined on the basis of the 5 assessments recorded during the Stability Verification Period (SVP) at Weeks -4, -3, -2, -1 and 0. The mean hemoglobin concentration for each individual participant during the EEP (Week 17 up to Week 24) was estimated as a time adjusted average.
Week 17 up to Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Hemoglobin Concentration Between Reference (SVP) and EEP
Time Frame: Week -4 up to Week -1 and Week 17 up to Week 24
The mean change of the time adjusted average of hemoglobin from reference value obtained during the SVP (Week -4 up to Week -1) and the value during EEP (Week 17 up to Week 24) was assessed.
Week -4 up to Week -1 and Week 17 up to Week 24
Percentage of Participants Maintaining Hemoglobin Concentration Within the Target Range During EEP
Time Frame: Week 17 up to Week 24
Percentage of participants maintaining hemoglobin concentration within the target range of 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL during EEP (Week 17 to Week 24) was assessed.

Percentage of Participants Requiring Any Dose Adjustment
Time Frame: Week 1 to Week 16 and Week 17 to Week 24
Percentage of participants requiring adjustment in the dose of study drug during the dose titration period (DTP: Week 1 to Week 16) and EEP (Week 17 to Week 24) was reported.
Week 1 to Week 16 and Week 17 to Week 24
Number of Participants With Red Blood Cell Transfusion During the Study
