Safety and Efficacy Study of Asfotase Alfa in Severely Affected Infants With Hypophosphatasia (HPP)

March 28, 2019 updated by: Alexion Pharmaceuticals

A Multicenter, Open-Label Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacology of Asfotase Alfa in up to 10 Severely Affected Patients With for the Treatment of Severely Affected Patients With Infantile Hypophosphatasia (HPP)

This clinical trial studies the safety and efficacy of asfotase alfa in infants and young children with infantile onset HPP.

Detailed Description

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a life-threatening, genetic, and ultra-rare metabolic disease characterized by defective bone mineralization and impaired phosphate and calcium regulation that can lead to progressive damage to multiple vital organs, including destruction and deformity of bones, profound muscle weakness, seizures, impaired renal function, and respiratory failure. There are no approved disease-modifying treatments for patients with this disease. There is also limited data available on the natural course of this disease over time, particularly in patients with the juvenile-onset form.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Rickets Severity From Baseline to Week 24, Based on Assessment of Skeletal Radiographs Using Radiologic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C)
Time Frame: 24 weeks
A 7-point RGI-C (Radiographic Global Impression of Change) score was used to rate change in rickets severity. Scores ranged from -3 (severe worsening of rickets) to +3 (complete healing of rickets). Only those patients with a minimum score of +2 indicating substantial healing of rickets) were considered "responders". Three pediatric radiologists not affiliated with the conduct of the study performed the ratings. Average scores were derived for each patient at each assessment.
24 weeks
