A Trial of Caplacizumab in Japanese Patients With Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (aTTP)

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2021-05-19
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the effect of caplacizumab on prevention of recurrence of aTTP (proportion of participants with a recurrence of aTTP) during the overall study period.

Secondary Objectives:

• To evaluate effect of caplacizumab on

• prevention of recurrence of TTP (the number of recurrences of TTP) during overall study period.

• a composite endpoint consisting of aTTP-related mortality, recurrence of aTTP and major thromboembolic events during study drug treatment

• restoring platelet counts as a measure of prevention of further microvascular thrombosis

• refractory disease

• biomarkers of organ damage: LDH, cardiac troponin I, serum creatinine

• plasma exchange (PE) parameters (days of PE and volume of plasma used), days in intensive care unit, days in hospital

• cognitive status of Japanese patients

• To evaluate safety profile of caplacizumab in Japanese patients

• To evaluate effect of caplacizumab on pharmacodynamic (PD) markers in Japanese patients

• To evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of caplacizumab in Japanese patients

• To evaluate immunogenicity of caplacizumab in Japanese patients

• Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Sanofi
• Treatments: Immunosuppressive Agents; Methylprednisolone; Methylprednisolone Acetate; Methylprednisolone Hemisuccinate; Prednisolone; Prednisolone acetate; Prednisolone hemisuccinate; Prednisolone phosphate; Rituximab

Criteria

Inclusion criteria :

• Japanese participant must be 18 years or older at the time of signing the informed consent.

• Participants who have a clinical diagnosis of aTTP (initial or recurrent), which includes thrombocytopenia (defined as platelet count <100,000/µL), microangiopathic hemolytic anemia as evidenced by red blood cell fragmentation (eg, presence of schistocytes), and increased levels of LDH

• Participants who require initiation of daily PE treatment and have received a maximum of 1 PE treatment prior to enrollment in the study

• Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies

• Capable of giving signed informed consent

Exclusion criteria:

• Platelet count ≥100,000/µL,

• Serum creatinine level > 2.3mg/dL in case platelet count is > 30,000µL

• Known other causes of thrombocytopenia

• Congenital TTP

• Clinically significant active bleeding or high risk of bleeding

• Malignant arterial hypertension

• Known chronic treatment with anticoagulant treatment that cannot be stopped

• Participants who were previously enrolled in a clinical study with caplacizumab and received caplacizumab or for whom the assigned treatment arm is unknown

• Participants currently or less than 28 days prior to enrollment in this study, enrolled in a clinical study with another investigational drug or device

• Clinical condition other than that associated with TTP, with life expectancy < 6 months, such as end-stage malignancy

• Sensitivity to any of the study interventions, or components thereof, or drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicates participation in the study

• Participant not suitable for participation, whatever the reason, as judged by the Investigator, including medical or clinical conditions, or participants potentially at risk of noncompliance to study procedures
