Patient Characteristics and Treatment Patterns From Early Crizanlizumab Use in Real-world Setting: Preliminary Analysis From Select Sickle Cell Centers

April 17, 2023 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals
This was a retrospective cohort study using secondary data from member sites of the National Alliance of Sickle Cell Centers (NASCC) with at least five patients who initiated crizanlizumab. Patients who were prescribed crizanlizumab were included in the cohort.

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

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

This was a retrospective, noninterventional cohort study

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  • Any patient with diagnosis of SCD based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or hemoglobin electrophoresis at treating institution
  • Treatment order for crizanlizumab; Index date was defined as the date for the first crizanlizumab treatment
  • At least 12 months of available electronic medical record (EMR) data pre-index date (baseline)
  • Patients must have received at least one dose of crizanlizumab
  • For inclusion in pre/post analysis of effectiveness, patients must have received at least 6 doses of medication. The rates could be annualized if total post-index time was <12 months.

Exclusion criteria:

None specified

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
Time Frame
Percentage of patients who received sickle cell disease treatment (use of hydroxyurea, l-glutamine, chronic transfusion therapy, and voxelotor) prior to treatment with crizanlizumab
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Up to 12 months
Percentage of patients who received sickle cell disease treatment (use of hydroxyurea, l-glutamine, chronic transfusion therapy, and voxelotor) during treatment with crizanlizumab
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Up to 12 months

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
Time Frame
Number of patients who discontinued treatment with crizanlizumab
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
Up to 24 months
Number of doses of crizanlizumab for patients who discontinued treatment with crizanlizumab
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
Up to 24 months
Reasons for early discontinuation of crizanlizumab treatment
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
Up to 24 months
Number of sickle cell disease (SCD)-related hospitalizations
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
Up to 24 months
Number of SCD-related emergency department (ED) visits
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
Up to 24 months

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
July 30, 2021

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
April 18, 2022

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
