E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of the β globin gene of the hemoglobin molecule. One single point mutation results in a lifetime of chronic morbidity and mortality. Vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), also known as pain crises, remain the hallmark of this disease and are the leading cause of hospitalization in SCD. |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder that affects red blood cell circulation |
|
E.1.1.2 | Therapeutic area | Diseases [C] - Blood and lymphatic diseases [C15] |
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | Yes |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
1. To determine the most effective dose of MP4CO at reducing the time to VOC (and thereby decreasing the duration of hospitalization) in subjects with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) admitted for vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) management.
2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of MP4CO treatment administered during a VOC in subjects with SCD. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint of this study is time to VOC resolution (TTVOCR) as assessed by the investigator. It is defined as the time from randomization to VOC resolution which is determined by achieving 2 out 3 of the following:
• Cessation of intravenous and or subcutaneous opioid analgesia
• Recovery of ambulation by at least 20% unless the subject was unable to ambulate for reasons other than a VOC crisis
• Ready for discharge as defined by treating physician and subject |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary efficacy endpoints are as follows:
• Proportion of subjects with a reduction in VAS pain levels by 2 cm maintained ≥ 4 hours compared to worst score on day of admission.
• Proportion of subjects with at least one return visit to ER within 7 days of discharge.
• Proportion of subjects with at least one re-admission to hospital for treatment of VOC within 7 days of discharge.
• Proportion of subjects with ACS complications during the hospitalization for treated VOC.
Safety endpoints will include the following:
• Incidence of AEs and SAEs
• Physical examination findings
• Vital sign measurements
• Urinalysis parameters
• Hematology parameters
• Blood chemistry parameters |
