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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Part A (7 patients aged ≥ 0.5 to < 18 years, in three age range cohorts) Dose algorithm confirmation: ▪ To confirm the effective dose of nomacopan for the ablation of terminal complement activity. The data derived from Part A of the trial will be used together with existing data for PK/PD simulation modelling to define an age-based dosing regimen to completely control terminal complement activity in paediatric patients treated with nomacopan in Part B safety and efficacy trial. The trial was closed after completion of Part A and did not proceed to Part B.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Where possible study specific blood samples were taken at the same time as routine sampling for clinical care. The volume of blood taken from patients was monitored very carefully. Sites monitored and recorded the blood volume taken for each patient to ensure daily blood samples was not greater than 3% of the patient's total blood volume. Further, the "Day 3" and "Day 7 - 6 hour" blood samples were not taken in the youngest cohort (≥ 0.5 to < 2 years).
    Background therapy
    No background therapy was specified for the study. Any background treatment was as prescribed by the treating clinician (except eculizumab or any other complement blocker therapy - which were trial exclusion criteria)

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    AK901 was open to recruitment from 24 July 2020 to 15 May 2024. The study was open in 4 UK sites, 4 US sites and 1 Polish site.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Paediatric patients who underwent allogeneic or autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and within a year developed thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA) with elevated complement activity and proteinuria. The maximum period between screening and starting nomacopan was 21 days, but treatment was started as soon as possible.

    Dosage and administration details
    Patients were given an ablating dose on Day 1, 12 hours apart which was determined by the child's weight on Day1: Ablating Dose: - 0.5 to < 2 years =1.7 mg/kg - 2 to < 9 years =1.3 mg/kg - 9 to < 18 years =1.0 mg/kg For children in the youngest two cohorts (≥ 0.5 to < 2 years, and ≥ 2 to <9 years), the dose was re-calculated at the week 8 and week 16 visits using the child's new weight measured at that visit. The starting maintenance dose, administered 12 hours apart, from Day2 until the end of treatment was 0.30 mg/kg for all 3 age groups. If required, from pre-dose Day 7onwards, a dose escalation was permitted if the CH50 results were > 10U Eq/mL and/or the unbound nomacopan in serum was < 55 ng/mL. Two dose escalations were permitted -an increase from the maintenance dose of 0.30 mg/kg to 0.45 mg/kg with a further increase to 0.60 mg/kg if required. Dose increases were preceded by an ablating dose as determined by age as per Day 1.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Jun 2021
    - sC5b-9 samples were listed as serum instead of plasma, and samples to be analysed centrally rather than locally or centrally - PK samples were listed as plasma instead of serum - Inclusion of urine pregnancy testing at sites that are unable to perform serum pregnancy testing - The 12h samples can be taken at 9 hours if logistical reasons prevent sampling and processing at 12 hours - CH50 and PK samples not required for patients in the youngest cohort on Day 3, Day 7 - 6h, and Week 4 - 6 hours to minimise the blood draw volume - Haematology parameters updated to include lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils - Clarification that LTB4 will be measured in a 24-hour urine sample
    10 Nov 2021
    - Inclusion - time from HSCT to TMA diagnosis increased from 100 days to a year - Exclusion - time to initiate nomacopan increased from 14 days to 21 days - Section regarding previous clinical exposure and experience to nomacopan updated

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Part A of the trial was exploratory with a small number of subjects. Due to early closure only 2 of 6 patients alive at Week 24 were followed up at 1 and 2 years. The trial was closed for business reasons unrelated to safety in this or other trials.
