A Phase I Open Label, Unblinded, Single Dose Study for Evaluating the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of SANGUINATE™ in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Patients
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
This Phase I trial will test two doses of SANGUINATE™ in adult subjects suffering from chronic sickle cell disease (SCD). A total of fifteen (15) patients will be assigned to the low and high dose cohorts of SANGUINATE™.
The first 8 subjects will receive the study agent in an initial low dose of 160 mg/kg of SANGUINATE™.
Upon completion of the low dose cohort, safety variables will be reviewed by the Principal Investigator, the Study Manager, and the Sponsor (or designee) in order to determine the progression towards administration of a high dose cohort of 320 mg/kg of SANGUINATE™. 7 subjects will be enrolled in the high dose cohort. Subjects will not be enrolled in the next higher dose cohort until the dose in the preceding dose group is deemed safe and tolerable.
Sample Size: A total of 15 patients will be enrolled in the study (8 patients in the low dose cohort, 7 patients in the high dose cohort). In both cohorts an additional participant would not be enrolled prior to safety review of the results of the previously enrolled participant.
Dose and Mode of Administration: SANGUINATE™ is PEGylated bovine hemoglobin (PEG-Hb) in the CO form formulated in saline (PEG-Hb-CO).
The study drug is supplied in a 500 mL bag which is a red color sterile solution ready for infusion without any dilution or mixing.
SANGUINATE™ will be infused intravenously over 2 hours. The concentration of product is 40 mg/ml.
Dosing Schedule: The study will include two cohorts of SANGUINATE™:
The low dose cohort will receive 160 mg/kg; The high dose cohort will receive 320 mg/kg.
Laboratory and clinical assessments of each participant will be conducted during 24 hours (+/-1 hour) after the start of study drug administration. An additional participant would not be enrolled prior to safety review of the results of the previously enrolled participant in each cohort.
Upon completion of the low dose cohort, safety data will be reviewed by the Principal Investigator, Study Manager, and the Sponsor (or designee) in order to determine the progression towards administration of a high dose cohort.
Assessments:
Safety:
The following assessments will be used to evaluate the safety of SANGUINATE™ administration:
- adverse events, serious adverse events
- laboratory abnormalities by highest toxicity grade
A complete CBC with platelets will be performed at screening and Day 1 (upon admission to the clinical unit prior to dosing), and post-dose on Days 2, 3 and 7. Blood biochemistry testing (including amylase and lipase), and urinalysis with microscopic, will be performed at screening and Day 0 (admission), on Day 1 (6 hours post-infusion) and on Days 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Troponin I testing (cardiac assessment) will be performed at the discretion of PI upon Day 0 (admission), on Day 1 (baseline, 1, 3, and 6 hours post-infusion) and on Days 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Renal injury will be assessed via urinalysis and the following serum chemistry components: urea nitrogen, creatinine, creatinine clearance, potassium, chloride, magnesium and calcium. Pulse oximetry and arterial blood pressure will be captured on Day 1 at baseline, every 5 minutes during infusion, every 15 minutes post-infusion for 1 hour, and every 15 minutes thereafter until values return to baseline. Continuous 3-lead ECG monitoring will be performed on Day 1 from 15-min prior to infusion through 1 hour post-infusion and afterward until parameters return to baseline. 12-lead ECG will be captured at screening, Day 1 (baseline, immediately post-infusion, 10 hours post-infusion), and Days 2, 3 and 7.
Pharmacokinetics:
Descriptive statistics (N, mean, standard deviation, standard error of the mean, CV, median, minimum, and maximum) will be used to summarize single dose serum SANGUINATE™ concentration data at each planned sampling time point for both treatment cohort. Serial blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be collected at pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 hours from the start of infusion. Plasma will be analyzed by Prolong for concentrations of SANGUINATE™.
The blood volume required to perform the blood test for pharmacokinetic analysis is 5 ml at each collection time point.
Safety analyses will be performed and all adverse events and abnormal laboratory values will be assessed according to a standard grading system that will be provided. All safety analyses will be performed on the intent to treat population (all patients having received at least one dose and having at least one post baseline safety measurement). All data will be reported in individual patient listings.
Non-compartmental pharmacokinetic methods will be used to determine the pharmacokinetic parameter estimates of SANGUINATE™, which will include Cmax, Cmin, tmax, AUC 0->t, AUC 0 -> , t 1/2, CL/F, and accumulation index at steady state.
Precautionary Statement: Subjects must be informed that they may receive either low or high dose of drug SANGUINATE™ and that SANGUINATE™ has not been proven to be efficacious and safe in humans.
Possible Risks and Side Effects:
There are potential side effects resulting from the physical intravenous administration of any drug such as stinging, discomfort, bleeding, bruising, erythema or edema of the skin at the site of penetration and infusion.
Bovine hemoglobin has the potential to induce allergic responses, although SANGUINATE™ is designed specifically to reduce the likelihood of such symptoms. Symptoms that may be encountered in SANGUINATE™-allergic subjects include:
- Local skin reactions such as a wheal and flare response and local vascular reactions such as phlebitis.
- Wheezy breathlessness 1-7 hours after administration
- An increase in asthmatic symptoms.
- Rarely, anaphylactic responses may be encountered.
The bovine hemoglobin used for the manufacture of SANGUINATE™ has been purified to inactivate viruses and remove foreign proteins. There is no known risk for BSE/TSE.

Low dose SANGUINATE™
160 mg/kg of SANGUINATE™. SANGUINATE™ (PEG-bHb-CO) an OTA is composed of three moieties, polyethylene glycol, bHb and carbon monoxide that act in a specific manner to promote the delivery of oxygen to tissue. SANGUINATE™ was not developed to be used as a blood substitute. It is instead an oxygen transfer agent intended to functionally deliver and release oxygen to hypoxic tissues. |
High dose of SANGUINATE™
