|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Subjects must be 18 years of age or older and may be of both sexes and of any race. 2. Subjects must have a diagnosis of aHUS documented in their clinical history, be receiving treatment with Eculizumab and be in remission of the disease for at least 12 months. 3. The subjects must present a glomerular filtration according to CKD EPI greater than 30 ml / min at the time of inclusion. 4. Subjects must be willing to give written informed consent for the trial and be able to do so. If a subject can not give their informed consent in writing independently, their legal representative can do so instead. 5. Women of childbearing age (WOCBP) must perform a pregnancy test at the time of inclusion and accept the use of a medically acceptable method of contraception during the selection period and while receiving the medication specified in the protocol. Any woman who is physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, from menarche to postmenopausal, unless she is permanently sterile, is considered a woman of childbearing age. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal condition is defined as the absence of menstruation for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high level of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in the postmenopausal range can be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women who do not use hormonal contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single measurement of FSH is insufficient. Only women of childbearing age who sign the contraceptive methods recommended by the Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG) can participate as highly effective contraceptive methods, that is, with a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correct: • Combined hormonal contraception (containing estrogen and progestogen) associated with the inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal or transdermal). • Progestin-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable or implantable) • Intrauterine device (IUD) • Intrauterine hormonal release system (SIU) • Bilateral tubal occlusion • Vasectomized partner (provided that the partner is the only sexual partner of the participant in the WOCBP trial and that the vasectomized partner has received a medical evaluation of the surgical success) • Sexual abstinence (defined as abstaining from sex during the entire period of risk associated with study treatments) |
1. Los sujetos deberán tener 18 años o más y podrán ser de ambos sexos y de cualquier raza. 2. Los sujetos deberán tener un diagnóstico de SHUa documentado en su historia clínica, estar recibiendo tratamiento con Eculizumab y estar en remisión de la enfermedad desde al menos 12 meses. 3. Los sujetos deberán presentar un Filtrado glomerular según CKD EPI superior a 30 ml/min en el momento de la inclusión. 4. Los sujetos deberán estar dispuestos a otorgar su consentimiento informado por escrito para el ensayo y ser capaces de hacerlo. Si un sujeto no puede otorgar su consentimiento informado por escrito de forma independiente, podrá hacerlo su representante legal en su lugar. 5. Las mujeres en edad fértil (WOCBP) deberán realizar un test de embarazo en el momento de la inclusión y aceptar el uso de un método anticonceptivo médicamente aceptable durante el periodo de selección y mientras reciban la medicación especificada en el protocolo. Se considera mujer en edad fértil toda aquella mujer fisiológicamente capaz de quedarse embarazada, desde la menarquia hasta convertirse en posmenopáusica, a menos que sea permanente estéril. Los métodos de esterilización permanentes incluyen histerectomía, salpingectomía bilateral y ooforectomía bilateral. Un estado posmenopáusico se define como ausencia de menstruación durante 12 meses sin una causa médica alternativa. Un nivel alto de hormona estimulante del folículo (FSH) en el rango posmenopáusico puede ser utilizado para confirmar un estado postmenopáusico en mujeres que no usan anticonceptivos hormonales o terapia de reemplazo hormonal. Sin embargo, en ausencia de 12 meses de amenorrea, una sola medición de FSH es insuficiente. Sólo podrán participar mujeres en edad fértil que signa los métodos anticonceptivos recomendados por el Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG) como métodos anticonceptivos altamente efectivos, es decir, con una tasa de fracaso de menos del 1% por año cuando se usa de manera consistente y correcta: • Anticoncepción hormonal combinada (que contiene estrógeno y progestágeno) asociada a la inhibición de la ovulación (oral, intravaginal o transdérmica). • Anticoncepción hormonal de progestágeno solo asociada con la inhibición de la ovulación (oral, inyectable o implantable) • Dispositivo intrauterino (DIU) • Sistema de liberación hormonal intrauterino (SIU) • Oclusión tubárica bilateral • Pareja vasectomizada (siempre que la pareja sea la única pareja sexual del participante en el ensayo WOCBP y que la pareja vasectomizada ha recibido una evaluación médica del éxito quirúrgico) • Abstinencia sexual (definida como abstenerse de tener relaciones sexuales durante todo el periodo de riesgo asociado a los tratamientos de estudio) |
