Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study of Asfotase Alfa in Severely Affected Infants With Hypophosphatasia (HPP) (NCT NCT00744042)

NCT ID: NCT00744042

Last Updated: 2019-04-01

Results Overview

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.

Participant Flow

The trial was posted on clinicaltrials.gov. Physicians managing the care of infants and young children with a confirmed diagnosis of HPP contacted existing sites or requested assistance with site set up from the sponsor.

All screened patients met eligibility criteria and were enrolled in the study.

Measure
Asfotase Alfa
n=11 Participants
All enrolled patients receive a single IV (intravenous) dose of Asfotase Alfa of 2 mg/kg followed by 7 days of observation. Following an assessment of safety data by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), patients begin thrice weekly SC (subcutaneous) injections of Asfotase Alfa at a dose of 1 mg/kg for the remaining 23 weeks of the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks

Population: ITT (intention to treat)

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".

Measure
Study Week 3 Subcutaneous Dose (1mg/kg 3x/Week)
Participants received subcutaneous (SC) asfotase alfa starting on Day 8 (Week 2) (1 mg/kg 3x/week). PK samples drawn predose to 48 hours post-dose for PK analysis following multiple SC doses.
Asfotase Alfa
n=11 Participants
All HPP affected infants will receive a single IV (intravenous) dose of Asfotase Alfa of 2 mg/kg followed by 7 days of observation. Following an assessment of safety data by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), patients will then begin every other day SC (subcutaneous) injections of Asfotase Alfa at a dose of 1 mg/kg for 23 weeks. End of Study will be at 24 weeks.
Study Week 2 Subcutaneous Dose (1 mg/kg 3x/Week)
Participants received subcutaneous (SC) asfotase alfa starting on Day 8 (Week 2) (1 mg/kg 3x/week). PK samples drawn predose to 48 hours post-dose for PK analysis following single SC dose.
