E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The overarching aim of this study is to contribute to dose optimization of CFZ in the treatment of NTM diseases.
The primary objective of this study is to describe the PK of CFZ, after 4 weeks of treatment with a loading dose regimen of 300 mg once daily, in adult patients with NTM disease. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives are: • To compare the PK of CFZ after the loading dose phase in this study, quantified by the highest measured concentrations at approximately 1 and 4 months of treatment, with the same metric measured in a reference study without loading dose (the PERC study; EudraCT number 2015-003786-28). • To compare the predicted time to reach steady state concentrations of CFZ with and without a loading dose. • To predict PK parameters of CFZ, including AUC0-24, Cmax and C0, based on sparse sampling at approximately 1 and 4 months of treatment in both this study and the reference study. • To evaluate the adequacy of the existing population PK model for CFZ derived in TB patients for application in the NTM population. • To assess the safety and tolerability of CFZ in this study.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- The participant is diagnosed with pulmonary or extrapulmonary NTM disease and is eligible for treatment with CFZ - The participant is at least 18 years of age - The participant has a body weight (in light clothing and with no shoes) of at least 45 kg - The participant is able and willing to provide written, informed consent
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- The participant is in poor general condition where participation in the study cannot be accepted per discretion of the Investigator - There is evidence showing the participant has clinically significant metabolic, gastrointestinal, or other abnormalities that could possibly alter the PK of CFZ - The participant is diagnosed with cystic fibrosis* - The participant has a prolongation of the QTc interval, > 450 milliseconds for males and > 460 milliseconds for females, on the screening ECG - The participant has abnormal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate transferase (AST) levels of > 3 times the upper limit of the laboratory reference range at screening - The participant is pregnant or is using inadequate contraceptive measures (if applicable) - The participant is breastfeeding - The participant has a known or suspected, current drug or alcohol abuse, that is, in the opinion of the Investigator, sufficient to compromise the safety or cooperation of the patient - The participant has as history of allergy/hypersensitivity to CFZ - The participant has received clofazimine in the past 3 months before inclusion with the exception of short-term use of no more than 7 days in the period of 1 to 3 months before inclusion

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary study parameters of this study are the PK parameters of CFZ at day 28 of treatment, including AUC0-24, Cmax, and C0, after a loading dose regimen of 300 mg once daily for 4 weeks in adult patients with pulmonary or extrapulmonary NTM disease. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Pharmacokinetic (PK) samples (a PK curve) will be collected from patients at Day 28 of the study after the intake of the last dose of 300 mg. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary study parameters are: • Difference between the highest measured concentrations of CFZ in this study and a reference study (PERC study; EudraCT number 2015-003786-28) after approximately 1 and 4 months of treatment. • The predicted time to reach steady state concentrations with and without a loading dose. • The predicted PK parameters, including AUC0-24, Cmax and C0, after approximately 1 and 4 months of treatment in both this study and a reference cohort (i.e. PERC study). • The performance of the existing population PK model for CFZ derived in TB patients for the NTM population. • Safety and tolerability of CFZ in this study, assessed by the occurrence and grading of adverse events.
|
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Pharmacokinetic (PK) samples will be collected from patients at Day 28, Day 29 and after 4 months of treatment. In addition, adverse events will be evaluated during scheduled visits or Phone calls (visits 1-6 at Day 1, 7, 28, 29, 1 month and 4 months respectively. In addition, a Phone call is scheduled after 3 months). |
