May 22, 2018 updated by: Prolong Pharmaceuticals

A Phase II, Multicenter, Single-Blind, Randomized Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of SANGUINATE™ Versus Normal Saline in Adult Sickle Cell Disease Patients With Vaso-Occlusive Crisis (VOC)

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

A single-blind, multicenter, randomized, placebo-control study in which 30 Sickle Cell disease patients having a vaso-occlusive crisis will either receive SANGUINATE 320 mg/kg/patient (8 mL/kg/patient) or Normal Saline on Day 1 (Visit 1) and Day 2 (Visit 2) infused over 2 hours each day. Patients are to remain in the hospital for up to 7 days but can be discharged at any time after receiving the second dose of SANGUINATE, provided their vaso-occlusive crisis has resolved and the patient has completed discharge procedures. Patients will have a follow-up phone call 7 days after discharge from the hospital to obtain safety, concomitant medication and pain assessments.

Study Type

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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 to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 65 years of age
  2. Diagnosis of Sickle Cell Disease (Hb-SS or any Genotype)
  3. Pain-score due to vaso-occlusive pain crisis (VOC) ≥ 8 on a 10 point scale
  4. VOC pain location ≥ 1 sites typical of vaso-occlusive crisis
  5. Patients with Priapism, acute chest syndrome, and/or with other Sickle Cell Disease comorbidities can be enrolled with good judgment of the Investigator.
  6. Signed and dated informed written consent by the subject
  7. Able to receive intravenous infusion of SANGUINATE or Normal Saline
  8. Women of childbearing potential with a negative serum pregnancy test and using a reliable method of contraception during the study period and for 30 days thereafter. Male study participants also agree to use contraception for 30 days after the study period

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. In the judgment of the investigator, the patient is not a good candidate for the study
  2. Females who are lactating and/or breastfeeding
  3. Fewer than 14 days since prior infusion pain medication treatment for VOC
  4. Medical history or evidence of moderate to severe renal insufficiency (estimated GFR < 60 mL/min) or chronic kidney disease, or of moderate to severe hepatic disease (ALTs > 5 x ULN)
  5. Concurrent or prior treatment within 30 days of Screening with an investigational medication.
  6. Symptoms or electrocardiogram (ECG)-based signs of acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, decompensated heart failure, third degree heart block or cardiac arrhythmia associated with hemodynamic instability;
  7. Severe or unstable concomitant condition or disease (e.g., known significant neurologic deficit, cancer, hematologic, metabolic or coronary disease), or chronic condition (e.g., psychiatric disorder), that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results;
  8. Evidence or history of regular alcohol abuse
  9. Screening laboratory result indicating serologic positivity for hepatitis C antibodies or hepatitis B surface antigens, unless explained by a documented vaccination.
  10. Unable to comply with study attendance, protocol procedures or other study requirements;
  11. Abnormal Echocardiogram at Study Entry (defined as Tricuspid Regurgitant Jet Velocity >3.1 m/sec).

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
Time to readiness for discharge from in hospital stay following treatment with SANGUINATE and Normal Saline.
Time Frame: Up to 7 Days
Defined as the patient's response that their pain episode has improved enough for discharge from the hospital, or the Investigator's assessment that the patient is ready for discharge from the hospital.
Up to 7 Days

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
Safety of treatment as defined by changes in vital signs, electrocardiographic, biochemical, hematological, and urinalysis measures, as well as reported increases in pain and other reported adverse events
