Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43866   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7287   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of fitusiran compared to on-demand treatment with bypassing agents (BPAs), as determined by the frequency of bleeding episodes.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted by investigators experienced in the treatment of adults and adolescents subjects. The parent(s) or guardian(s) as well as the children were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time. In addition to the consent form for the parent(s)/guardian(s), an assent form in child-appropriate language was provided and explained to the child. Repeated invasive procedures were minimised. The number of blood samples as well as the amount of blood drawn were adjusted according to age and weight. A topical anesthesia may have been used to minimise distress and discomfort. Adult subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.
    Background therapy
    Long term follow-up: The follow-up period lasted from 1 to 6 months (as follow-up for subjects in the fitusiran treatment arm who did not enroll in the extension study (LTE15174 [NCT03754790]), due to the requirement for the antithrombin (AT) activity level to return to approximately 60% following the final dose). In lieu of the long term follow-up period, subjects who completed the study were eligible to enroll in an open-label extension study (LTE15174).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 58 centres in 17 countries. A total of 85 subjects were screened between 14 February 2018 to 19-Mar-2021, of which 25 subjects were screen failure. Screen failures were mainly due to the presence of clinically significant liver disease. A total of 60 subjects were enrolled in the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    57 subjects randomised in 2:1 ratio to fitusiran prophylaxis and on-demand arms; stratified by number of bleeding episodes prior to Screening (<=10 vs >10). 3 subjects from China were treated with fitusiran but not randomised. These subjects were considered in fitusiran prophylaxis arm for safety analysis, but not in any other analysis.

    Estimated Annualised Bleeding Rate (ABR) for Treated Bleeds During the Efficacy Period
    End point description
    ABR for subject during efficacy period (EP) was defined as annualised number of bleeding episodes during EP annualised to a 1-year interval of time. Treated Bleeding episode: any occurrence of hemorrhage that required administration of BPA or factor. It started from first sign of a bleed and ended no more than 72 hours after last treatment for bleed, within which any symptoms of bleeding at same location or injections less than or equal to (<=) 72 hours apart were considered the same bleeding episode. EP was defined as time duration starting from Day 29 when antithrombin (AT) lowering capacity of fitusiran had achieved therapeutic target range to the earliest of (Day 246 or last day of bleeding follow up)(maximum duration of EP: from Day 29 to Day 246). This endpoint represents estimated results (i.e., results received by applying negative binomial [NB] regression model on data collected during EP). Analysis was performed on ITT population which included all randomised subjects.

    Estimated Annualised Joint Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds During the Efficacy Period
    End point description
    Annualised joint bleeding rate for subject during EP was defined as annualised number of bleeding episodes during EP annualised to a 1-year interval of time. Joint bleeding episode was characterised by an unusual sensation in the joint (“aura”) in combination with 1) increasing swelling or warmth over the skin, joint, 2) increased pain, or 3) progressive loss of range of motion or difficulty in using the limb as compared with Baseline. It started from first sign of a bleed and ended no more than 72 hours after last treatment for the bleed. EP was defined as time duration starting from Day 29 when the AT lowering capacity of fitusiran had achieved therapeutic target range to the earliest of (Day 246 or the last day of bleeding follow up) (maximum duration of EP: from Day 29 to Day 246). This endpoint presents estimated results (i.e., results received by applying NB regression model on data collected during EP). Analysis was performed on ITT population.

    End point description
    ABR was annualised number of bleeding episodes during onset period per subject annualised to a 1-year interval of time. A treated bleeding episode was defined as any occurrence of hemorrhage that may required administration of BPA or factor. It started from the first sign of a bleed and ended no more than 72 hours after the last treatment for the bleed, within which any symptoms of bleeding at the same location or injections <=72 hours apart were considered the same bleeding episode. The onset period was defined as time interval from Day 1 to the earlier of Day 28 or the last day of bleeding follow up. This endpoint represents estimated results (i.e., results received by applying NB regression model on data collected during onset period). Analysis was performed on ITT population.

    End point description
    An adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. Treatment emergent AEs were defined as any AE with onset date after first dose of fitusiran in the fitusiran prophylaxis arm or after Day 1 visit in the BPA on-demand arm. A serious AE (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, was a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or was a medically important event. Analysis was performed on safety analysis set that included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug or were randomised to on-demand arm, analysed according to the actual treatment received.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    27 Jun 2018
    Following changes were made: Clinical development and commercialisation of fitusiran were granted from Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Genzyme Corporation, a Sanofi Company, which assumed responsibility of the current clinical program. Therefore, the Alnylam logo and reference to Alnylam was changed to “the Sponsor” or “Sanofi Genzyme” as appropriate throughout the protocol. Change in address and contact details were also added. The Sanofi Genzyme study code (EFC14768) was added, and the Alnylam study drug code ALN-AT3SC was also updated to the generic drug name fitusiran (SAR439774). Several sections were created or updated to reflect the Sanofi Genzyme environment.
