Study to Evaluate the Safety, PK, PD, and Efficacy of PRX-102 in Japanese Patients With Fabry Disease (RISE)

A Multicenter Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of Pegunigalsidase Alfa (PRX-102) in Japanese Patients With Fabry Disease (RISE)

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pegunigalsidase alfa in Japanese patients (adults and adolescents) affected by Fabry disease. It is planned of a total of approximately 16 male and female Fabry disease patients between the ages of 13 and 70 years to be part of the study. The study is conducted in Japan.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Fabry Disease
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: PRX-102 1 mg/kg every 2 weeks; Drug: PRX-102 2 mg/kg every 4 weeks

Detailed Description

Investigators are doing this study to find out if treatment with pegunigalsidase alfa will prevent or reduce the development of health problems caused by Fabry disease and thereby improve patients' health and quality of life.

pegunigalsidase alfa (PRX-102) is a drug made using genetic engineering techniques and manufactured using cultured tobacco cells. It is given by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks, at a dosage of 1 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight.

The study consists of a main study that is divided into two stages, each of which will last one year, followed by an optional extension study. In stage II of main study and in the optional extension study, the participants may receive PRX-102 intravenous infusion every 2 weeks, at a dosage of 1 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight or every 4 weeks at a dosage of 2 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight.

There are three groups (cohorts) in this study, with adults enrolled in either Cohort A or B and adolescents in Cohort C. Whether an adult is assigned to Cohort A or Cohort B depends on their kidney function and treatment history.

This study will start with a screening visit of up to 6 weeks. It will be followed up by infusion visits every 2 weeks or 4 weeks. For subjects not continuing in the extension stage, a follow-up call is to be made 30 days after the last study drug infusion.

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 years to 60 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Description

Inclusion criteria (all subjects)

1. Must have been born in Japan and have their biological parents and all 4 grandparents of Japanese descent

2. A documented diagnosis of Fabry disease, as determined by the following:

   • Males: Plasma and/or leukocyte alpha-galactosidase-A activity (by activity assay) that is ≤ 5% of mean normal laboratory levels or, if the enzymatic activity is above the 5% limit but still under the normal level, a confirmed disease-causing mutation of the GLA gene
   • Females: Historical genetic test results consistent with Fabry mutations or, in the case of novel mutations, a first-degree male relative with Fabry disease
   • All subjects: At least one of the following characteristic features of Fabry disease: neuropathic pain, cornea verticillata, and/or clustered angiokeratoma
3. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at screening ≥40 mL/min/1.73 m2. For adults, this will be calculated using the Japanese Modified Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (JPN-CKD-EPI) Creatinine equation (2009); and for adolescents, it will be calculated using the Creatinine Cystatin C-based Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) equation.
4. Clinical condition that in the opinion of the Investigator requires treatment with ERT

5. A female subject (including an adolescent in Cohort C, if applicable) must meet one of the following criteria:

   • If of childbearing potential, she must:

     • Have a negative serum pregnancy test result at screening, AND
     • Agree to undergo a urine pregnancy test at baseline and every 12 weeks thereafter up to the final treatment, AND

     • Agree to use one of the following highly reliable methods of contraception from the day of the informed consent signature until 30 days after the last infusion received. The following methods are acceptable:

       • Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)
       • Combined (both oestrogen and progestogen) hormonal contraception (oral) associated with inhibition of ovulation, supplemented with a barrier method (preferably male condom)
       • Bilateral tubal occlusion
       • Sexual abstinence, defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire study period
       • Partner vasectomy, provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner and has received medical verification of the surgical success

   • Be of non-childbearing potential, defined as one of the following:

     • Post-menopausal (12 consecutive months of amenorrhea), OR
     • Permanently sterile following hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy (supporting evidence required)

Additional inclusion criteria for subjects in Cohort A

For subjects enrolled in Cohort A, these specific inclusion criteria, in addition to those above, apply:

• Diagnosis of kidney impairment, defined as a linear slope of eGFR more negative than or equal to -2 mL/min/1.73 m2/year. The historical eGFR slope will be calculated based on at least 3 serum creatinine values obtained over the 9 to 24 months prior to screening, using the JPN-CKD-EPI Creatinine equation (2009). This criterion will be confirmed at screening by calculating the screening eGFR slope using historical and screening serum creatinine values. Both historical and screening eGFR slopes will be used for the diagnosis of kidney impairment.

- Aged ≥18 to ≤70 years

Additional inclusion criteria for subjects in Cohort C

For subjects enrolled in Cohort C, these specific inclusion criteria, in addition to those above, apply:
