    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to document the safety of HepaStem therapy during a period up to a maximum of 48 months (4 years (Y)) in the SAF001 study (SAF001 Y1+Y2+Y3+Y4). This long term safety follow-up study will start when the patient is ending the period of active surveillance post infusion of Hepastem in any former interventional study (Study A) conducted by Promethera Biosciences (PB). The safety will be assessed in terms of clinical status, biochemical parameters and morphology of the liver, detection of circulating anti-HLA antibodies specific for donor cells or other immune markers related to liver diseases as well as Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and AEs of Special Interest (AESI) related to HepaStem therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), the ethical principles that have their origins in the revised Declaration of Helsinki and local regulations. The protocol, all amendments and the informed consent forms (ICFs) / patient information sheets (PIS) were reviewed and approved by the competent authorities (CA) and relevant ethics committee (EC) in each participating country. The safety monitoring was planned to last for a maximum of 4 years for each patient. However, for different reasons, patients could have been removed from this study: • In case of organ transplantation, if it was a liver transplantation, liver samples were to be collected from the exograft. An additional visit after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) including examinations and OLT questionnaire completion were also requested • In case of intake of other investigational treatments Nevertheless, whenever possible, Promethera Biosciences was to continue to collect safety data of these patients once a year in collaboration with the center where the patient was followed. If the patient terminated their participation prematurely, they were asked to have a last visit including the evaluation of all the study parameters, similar to those at 24- or 48-months, depending on the case.
    Background therapy
    No investigational medicinal product was administered during this trial. All UCD and CN patients included in the trial continued their disease-specific treatment based on usual metabolic monitoring under the responsibility of the investigator/treating physician. A low level of immunosuppression was maintained after a HepaStem infusion (in the initial investigational HEP001 study) to avoid a potential risk of developing an immunization against HepaStem, which would be detrimental for HepaStem or any other future treatment with cells or organ transplant (Kaneku 2013, O`Leary 2011). Thus, in the SAF001 study, a close monitoring was set up to follow the level of immunosuppression of the patients. Patients might have been maintained under immunosuppressive treatment based on investigator’s judgement and in some cases based on the results of functional 13C tests. For patients who received HepaStem 12 months ago, the recommended target through blood level for tacrolimus was 4 ± 2 ng/mL. However, immunosuppression could have been terminated at any time following the decision taken by the investigator/treating physician. Any termination was to be carefully documented.

    Date
    Amendment
    05 Dec 2013
    Amendment A (Protocol version 2.0 dated 05-Dec-2013): • To allow all patients who received HepaStem infusion to be included in the study (modification of study title, primary objective, inclusion criteria) • To justify more precisely the maintenance of a low level of immunosuppression following HepaStem therapy, and to define, on the request of ANSM (French regulatory authority), rules to stop or adapt the immunosuppressive regimen rules • To adapt the procedures: o use of a notebook to record relevant information in between visits in order to detect AE of special interest o specifications of physical examination and vital signs measurements o addition of 2 psychological assessments (WAIS for patients who turned 18 years old and the Leiter International Performance Scale for children and adult patients who are cognitively delayed, non-English speaking, hearing impaired, speech impaired, or autistic) and a behavioral psychological assessments for patients who turned 18 years old, o addition of a statement to allow collection of essential information in terms of cell engraftment (collection of liver samples from the exograft in case of premature discontinuation because of a liver transplantation) o addition of definitions for metabolic decompensation to clarify AESI o deletion of some information about efficacy parameters • To described in more details the primary objective in order to be in alignment with the assessments previously approved by the EC/Health Authority • To clarify the frequency of interim analyses • To update the number of pediatric patients (from 18 to 20 patients)
    14 Jul 2016
    Amendment B (Protocol version 3.0 dated 14-Jul-2016): • To clarify the procedure of consent for minors or adults legally incapable • To specify how the decision to maintain the immunosuppressive treatment should be taken (by the investigator, in agreement with the patient’s family, based on the clinical condition / evolution of the patient) • To clarify some procedures (identity of the proteins measured by serum protein electrophoresis was clarified; precision on the baseline visit in case of the patient was not enrolled within 4 weeks after the last visit of the former study) • To ensure that previous infusions of HepaStem do not impact in any way the outcome of OLT, a last visit after OLT including examinations and OLT questionnaire completion was added • To specify the outsourcing of monitoring activities
