March 15, 2023 updated by: Provepharm SAS

Open Label Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ProvayBlueTM (Methylene Blue) for the Treatment of Acquired Methemoglobinemia

This is an open label, uncontrolled, Phase 4 study including 10 patients who present in hospital/urgent care setting with acquired methemoglobinemia. The population may include pediatric and adult patients (males and females of all ages are included).

The study will run in both the EU and the US. The aim of the study is to confirm safety and efficacy of ProvayBlueTM for the treatment of acquired methemoglobinemia and has been requested by the US-FDA as a Post-Marketing requirements.

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.

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.

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

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pediatric or adult patients (males and females of all ages are included) diagnosed with acquired methemoglobinemia and receiving treatment with ProvayBlue™ as per the treating physician's diagnosis and hospital standard of care.

Acquired methemoglobinemia is defined as a level of methemoglobinemia >30% or ≤30% in case of clinical symptoms (e.g. sleepiness, cyanosis, dizziness, etc.).

  • Written informed consent obtained prior to any data collection (retrospective and prospective) for this study and study specific assessments.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known severe hypersensitivity reactions to methylene blue or any other thiazine dye;
  • Known deficiency in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) due to the risk of hemolytic anemia as well as lack of therapeutic effect;
  • Known deficiency in Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Hydrogen (NADPH) reductase.
  • Known use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), MonoAmine Oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or drugs metabolised via CYP isoenzymes anticipated during the treatment phase of the study.
  • Women who refuse to stop breastfeeding for up to 8 days after receiving the last dose of ProvayBlueTM.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: ProvayBlue (Methylene Blue) arm

Methylene Blue 0.5% will be administered.

1 mg/kg will be administered intravenously over 5-30 minutes. If methemoglobin level remains above 30% or if clinical symptoms persist, give a repeat dose of up to 1 mg/kg one hour after the first dose.
Drug: Methylene Blue

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
Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Number of Participants With and Without 50% Reduction in metHb Level
Time Frame: 1 hour
A 50% reduction in metHb level within 1 hour of the first dose of ProvayBlue for treatment of acquired methemoglobinemia. The timing of postdosing metHb level assays is inconsistent in clinical practice, for that reason metHb level at 1-hour postdosing was derived using linear interpolation.
1 hour

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
Number of Participants With and Without Concomitant Normalization of Respiratory Rate
Time Frame: 2 hours
Normalization of the respiratory rate within 2 hours of the first dose of ProvayBlue. The normal range used for respiratory rate was 12-20 breaths per minute.
2 hours
Number of Participants With and Without Concomitant Normalization of Heart Rate
Time Frame: 2 hours
Normalization of the heart rate within 2 hours of the first dose of ProvayBlue. The normal range used for heart rate was 50-100 beats per minute.
2 hours
Number of Participants With and Without Concomitant Normalization of Blood Pressure
Time Frame: 2 hours
Normalization of blood pressure standard values within 2 hours of the first dose of ProvayBlue. The normal range used for systolic blood pressure was was 90-140 mm HG and the normal range used for diastolic blood pressure was 60-90 mm HG.
2 hours
Second Dose
Time Frame: 1 hour
Evaluation of the patients who achieve a 50% reduction in metHb level after a second dose of ProvayBlue
1 hour
Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events
Time Frame: 24 hours
Number of participants who experience a treatment emergent adverse event assessed by the investigator as being related to study drug..
24 hours
Methylene Blue Content in Blood Samples
Time Frame: 24 hours
Blood samples will be analyzed for methylene blue content
24 hours
Azure B Content in Blood Samples
Time Frame: 24 hours
Blood samples will be analyzed for Azure B content
