An Extension Protocol for Multiple Sclerosis Patients Who Participated in Genzyme-Sponsored Studies of Alemtuzumab

May 2, 2017 updated by: Genzyme, a Sanofi Company

This open-label, rater-blinded extension study enrolled participants who had relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and who participated in one of three prior Genzyme-sponsored studies of alemtuzumab (CAMMS223 [NCT00050778], CAMMS323 [NCT00530348] also known as CARE-MS I, or CAMMS324 [NCT00548405] also known as CARE-MS II). The purposes of this study were:

  1. To examine the long term safety and efficacy of alemtuzumab treatment in participants who received alemtuzumab as their study treatment in one of the prior studies.
  2. To examine the safety and efficacy of initial alemtuzumab treatment in this study for participants who received Rebif® (interferon beta-1a) as their study treatment in one of the prior studies.
  3. To determine the safety and efficacy of additional "as needed" alemtuzumab treatment courses. This applied both to participants who received alemtuzumab for the first time in one of the prior studies or for the first time in this extension study.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Alemtuzumab treatment was on a fixed schedule of two treatment courses a year apart for participants who received Rebif® in one of the prior Genzyme-sponsored studies of alemtuzumab or on an as needed schedule (e.g. due to documented evidence of resumed Multiple Sclerosis [MS] activity) for participants who had already completed a fixed schedule of treatment with alemtuzumab in one of the prior Genzyme-sponsored studies. There was no comparison treatment in this study. All participants were required to return to their study site every 3 months for neurologic and other assessments. In addition, safety-related laboratory tests and surveys were performed at least monthly. Participation in the extension study was at least 48 months from enrollment. Study duration could be extended to allow participants to remain in the study until a follow-up study was available in their country or through month 60 (month 72 in USA), whichever occurred first.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 1.Received alemtuzumab in CAMMS323 or CAMMS324, completed the 2-year study period, and had not subsequently received disease modifying treatments (other than glatiramer acetate or interferon beta); or
  • 2.Received Rebif® in CAMMS323 or CAMMS324, completed the 2-year study period, and had not subsequently received alternative disease modifying treatments (other than glatiramer acetate or another interferon beta); or
  • 3.Participated in CAMMS223.
  • NOTE: Criteria 1 and 2 above meant that participants who enrolled in CAMMS323 or CAMMS324 but did not complete the 2-year study period or went on to receive non-study drug DMTs after randomization were not eligible for inclusion in the Extension Study. Participants who enrolled in CAMMS324 after participation in CAMMS223 must meet criteria 1 or 2 to be eligible for inclusion in the Extension Study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any alemtuzumab participant from CAMMS223, CAMMS323, or CAMMS324 who had received alemtuzumab off-label (ie, outside of one of the prior Genzyme-sponsored studies), or was participating in any other investigational study, unless approved by Genzyme. In addition, these participants must be screened for disqualifying safety concerns before receiving alemtuzumab retreatment.
  • Any Rebif® participants from CAMMS223, CAMMS323, or CAMMS324 who met any of the following criteria. In addition, these participants must be screened for disqualifying safety concerns before receiving alemtuzumab treatment. a) Did not wish to receive alemtuzumab; b) Ongoing participation in any other investigational study, unless approved by Genzyme; c) Had received alemtuzumab off-label (ie, outside of one of the prior Genzyme-sponsored studies); d) Known bleeding disorder or therapeutic anticoagulation; e) Diagnosis of idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura or other autoimmune hematologic abnormality; f) History of malignancy, except basal cell skin carcinoma; g) Intolerance of pulsed corticosteroids, especially a history of steroid psychosis h) Significant Autoimmune disorder (other than MS); i) Major psychiatric disorder or epileptic seizures not adequately controlled by treatment; j) Active infection or high risk for infection k) Unwilling to use a reliable and acceptable contraceptive method during and for at least 6 months following each alemtuzumab treatment cycle (fertile participants only).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Previously treated with alemtuzumab
Alemtuzumab 12 mg per day administered through IV, once a day for 3 consecutive days (participants might receive additional cycles of alemtuzumab upon documented evidence of resumed disease activity, but not within same 12-month period)
Alemtuzumab 12 mg/day IV infusion on 5 consecutive days if the participants had no prior alemtuzumab exposure (ie, first treatment course). All subsequent treatment courses were for 3 days only.
Experimental: Previously treated with interferon beta-1a (Rebif®)
Alemtuzumab 12 mg per day administered through IV, once a day for 5 consecutive days during the first cycle and 12 mg per day administered through IV, once a day for 3 consecutive days during the second cycle, 12 months later. Participants might qualify for as-needed retreatment (12 mg per day administered through IV, once a day for 3 consecutive days) after their second fixed annual cycle.
Alemtuzumab 12 mg/day IV infusion on 5 consecutive days if the participants had no prior alemtuzumab exposure (ie, first treatment course). All subsequent treatment courses were for 3 days only.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)
Time Frame: Year 3, 4, 5, 6 from the Baseline (Month 0 of CAMMS323 and Month 0 of CAMMS324 for "Alemtuzumab Treatment CAMMS323 Extension" group and "Alemtuzumab Treatment CAMMS324 Extension" group, respectively)
Relapse was defined as new neurological symptoms or worsening of previous neurological symptoms with an objective change on neurological examination, attributable to multiple sclerosis (MS) that last for at least 48 hours, present at normal body temperature, and that were preceded by at least 30 days of clinical stability. ARR was obtained from the total number of confirmed relapses that occurred during the treatment follow-up time of all participants divided by the sum of follow-up time of all participants involved in certain treatment groups. ARR was estimated through negative binomial regression with robust variance estimation.
Year 3, 4, 5, 6 from the Baseline (Month 0 of CAMMS323 and Month 0 of CAMMS324 for "Alemtuzumab Treatment CAMMS323 Extension" group and "Alemtuzumab Treatment CAMMS324 Extension" group, respectively)
Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) Before and After Receiving Alemtuzumab
Time Frame: Baseline (Year 0 of initial studies) up to Year 4
Relapse was defined as new neurological symptoms or worsening of previous neurological symptoms with an objective change on neurological examination, attributable to MS that last for at least 48 hours, present at normal body temperature, and that were preceded by at least 30 days of clinical stability. ARR was obtained from the total number of confirmed relapses that occurred during the treatment follow-up time of all participants divided by the sum of total follow-up time of all participants involved in certain treatment groups. ARR was estimated through repeated negative binomial regression with robust variance estimation and covariate adjustment for geographic region. The IFNB-1a/Alemtuzumab switch from CAMMS323 or CAMMS324 to CAMMS03409 pre alemtuzumab reporting group consisted of the same participants as those in the corresponding post alemtuzumab reporting group.
Baseline (Year 0 of initial studies) up to Year 4
Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) Before and After Alemtuzumab Retreatment
Time Frame: Year 1 prior to retreatment, Year 1, 2, 3 after retreatment
Relapse was defined as new neurological symptoms or worsening of previous neurological symptoms with an objective change on neurological examination, attributable to MS that last for at least 48 hours, present at normal body temperature, and that were preceded by at least 30 days of clinical stability. ARR was obtained from the total number of confirmed relapses that occurred during the treatment follow-up time of all participants divided by the sum of total follow-up time of all participants involved in certain treatment groups. ARR was estimated through negative binomial regression with robust variance estimation without covariate adjustment.
Year 1 prior to retreatment, Year 1, 2, 3 after retreatment
Number of Participants With Sustained Accumulation of Disability (SAD)
Time Frame: Baseline (Year 0) up to Year 6
SAD: defined as an increase of at least 1.5 points in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score for participants with prior study baseline score of 0 and increase of at least 1.0 point for participants with a prior study baseline score of 1.0 or more; and the increase persisted over a 6-month consecutive period. EDSS is an ordinal scale in half-point increments that quantifies disability in participants with MS. It assesses 7 functional systems (visual, brainstem, pyramidal, cerebellar, sensory, bowel/bladder and cerebral) and ambulation. EDSS total score ranges from 0 (normal neurological examination) to 10 (death due to MS), higher scores indicating worse neurological function. Number of participants with SAD was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and reported in this outcome measure. Baseline was defined as Year 0 of CAMMS323 and Year 0 of CAMMS324 for "alemtuzumab treatment CAMMS323 extension" group and "alemtuzumab Treatment CAMMS324 Extension" group, respectively.
