E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of ISIS 420915 as compared to palcebo, given for 65 weeks, as measured by the change from baseline in the modified Neuropathy Impairment Score +7 (mNIS+7) and inthe Norfolk Quality of Life-Diabetic Neuropathy (Norfolk QOL-DN) questionnaire total score, in patients with FAP. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of ISIS 420915 as compared to placebo based on the change from baseline in the following measures:
• Norfolk QOL-DN questionnaire symptoms domain score in Stage 1 patients and Norfolk QOL-DN questionnaire physical functioning/large fiber neuropathy domain score in Stage 2 patients
• Modified body mass index (mBMI) and body mass index (BMI)
• NIS and modified +7
• NIS+7
To evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of ISIS 420915 as compared to placebo, based on the change from baseline in transthyretin (TTR) and retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4).
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ISIS 420915.
To evaluate the plasma trough levels of ISIS 420915 in all patients and to evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of ISIS 420915 in a subset of patients. |

5. Must have given written informed consent (signed and dated) and any authorizations required by local law and be able to comply with all study requirements |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Unwillingness to comply with study procedures, including follow-up, as specified by this protocol, or unwillingness to cooperate fully with the Investigator
2. Screening laboratory results as follows, or any other clinically significant abnormalities in screening laboratory values that would render a patient unsuitable for inclusion:
a. ALT/AST >1.9 x ULN
b. Bilirubin ≥1.5 x ULN (patients with bilirubin ≥1.5 x ULN may be allowed on study following discussion with the Study Medical Monitor if indirect bilirubin only is elevated,ALT/AST is not greater than the ULN and genetic testing confirming Gilbert’s disease)
c. Platelets <100 x 109/L
d. Persistently positive (2 out of 3 consecutive tests ≥1+) for protein on urine dipstick. In the event of a positive test eligibility may be confirmed by a quantitative total urine protein measurement of <1.0 g/24 hours
e. Persistently positive (2 out of 3 consecutive tests ≥ trace positive) for blood on urine dipstick. In the event of a positive test eligibility may be confirmed with urine microscopy showing <5 red blood cells per high power field
f. TSH values outside normal range
3. Retinol level at screen < LLN
4. QTcF >470 msec (average of triplicates). QTcF values >470 msec should be confirmed by Sponsor central ECG reader. Patients with a left bundle branch block or pacemaker will not be eligible if QTcF >500 msec (QTcF values >500 msec should be confirmed by Sponsor entral ECG reader)
5. Uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure >160/100)
6. Positive test result for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or hepatitis C
7. Karnofsky performance status ≤50
8. Renal insufficiency as defined by estimated creatinine clearance calculated according to the formula of CKD-EPI <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 at screen. If the calculated creatinine clearance is thought to be artificially low, a 24-hour urine creatinine clearance can be completed with prior Sponsor approval
9. Known type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus
10. Other causes of sensorimotor or autonomic neuropathy (e.g., autoimmune disease)
11. Treatment with another investigational drug, biological agent, or device within three-months of screening, or five half-lives of study agent, whichever is longer
12. If previously treated with Vyndaqel® must have discontinued treatment for 2 weeks prior to Study Day 1. If previously treated with Diflunisal, must have discontinued treatment for 3 days prior to Study Day 1
13. Previous treatment with any oligonucleotide or siRNA within 12 months of screening
14. Prior liver transplant or anticipated liver transplant within 1 year of screening
15. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification of ≥3
16. Acute coronary syndrome or major surgery within 3 months of screening
17. Known Primary Amyloidosis
18. Known Leptomeningeal Amyloidosis
19. Anticipated survival less than 2 years
20. Active infection requiring systemic antiviral or antimicrobial therapy that will not be completed prior to Study Day 1
21. Malignancy within 5 years, except for basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has been successfully treated
22. Have any other conditions, which, in the opinion of the Investigator would make the patient unsuitable for inclusion, or could interfere with the patient participating in or completing the study |
