Compassionate Use of Deferiprone in Patients With PKAN

November 9, 2022 updated by: Chiesi Canada Corp

The Compassionate Use of Deferiprone in Patients With Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration

Patients with pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) who have completed the ApoPharma-sponsored study TIRCON2012V1-EXT and who wish to continue to take deferiprone will be offered the opportunity to receive it on a compassionate basis. Patients will be followed locally by their own neurologist or other appropriate specialist.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
No longer available

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients with PKAN who have completed both the randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial TIRCON2012V1 and its follow-up, the single-arm open-label extension study TIRCON2012V1-EXT, may enroll in this compassionate-use/expanded access program in order to continue receiving the iron chelator deferiprone. Participants in this program will be followed locally by their own neurologist or other appropriate specialist. Patients will take deferiprone oral solution 80 mg/mL at the same dose they were prescribed in the TIRCON2012V1-EXT clinical trial. Safety monitoring of the patients will be performed. At a minimum, the program will continue until the analysis of the currently blinded TIRCON2012V1 trial is completed (approximately Q4 2016), at which time it will be re-evaluated.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Expanded Access

Expanded Access Type

Expanded Access Type

Describes the category of expanded access under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. There are three types of expanded access:
  • Individual Patients: Allows a single patient, with a serious disease or condition who cannot participate in a clinical trial, access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This category also includes access in an emergency situation.
  • Intermediate-size Population: Allows more than one patient (but generally fewer patients than through a Treatment IND/Protocol) access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This type of expanded access is used when multiple patients with the same disease or condition seek access to a specific drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA.
  • Treatment IND/Protocol: Allows a large, widespread population access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This type of expanded access can only be provided if the product is already being developed for marketing for the same use as the expanded access use.
  • Intermediate-size Population

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

7 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Completed study TIRCON2012V1-EXT
  2. Able to adhere to program appointments and evaluation schedules
  3. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test result at the start of the program, unless the treating physician determines there is no reasonable risk of pregnancy because of significant incapacity. If applicable, they must meet at least one of the following criteria: Use an effective method of contraception during the program and for 30 days following the last dose of deferiprone, OR participate in a non-heterosexual lifestyle, OR have a male sexual partner who has been sterilized, OR be abstinent during the program and for at least 30 days after its completion.
  4. Fertile sexually active heterosexual males must agree to use an effective method of contraception during the program and for at least 30 days after its completion
  5. Patients and/or their authorized legal representatives must provide signed and dated written informed consent, and minors must additionally sign an assent form as per local regulatory requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients will be excluded from taking part in the compassionate use program if the treating physician determines the presence of any medical, psychological, or psychiatric condition which in his/her opinion would cause participation in the program to be unwise
