Voxelotor for Improving Oxygen Saturation in Adults — Voxelotor  

Acute Lung Injury Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 2b Open-Label, Single Arm Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Voxelotor for Improving Oxygen Saturation and Reducing Ventilatory Support Requirements in Adult Patients With New or Increased Oxygen Requirement

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of voxelotor for increasing oxygen saturation in 20 patients with hypoxemia. Specifically, the SpO2/FiO2 ratio will be compared before and after voxelotor use at rest and during exercise (ambulatory patients only).

The primary study objective is to evaluate the efficacy of voxelotor for increasing oxygen saturation in patients with hypoxic hypoxemia as a result of end-stage lung disease or acute lung injury.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of voxelotor on allowing de-escalation of supplemental oxygen support.

Clinical Trial Description

Purpose of the study: Primary study objective is to evaluate the efficacy of voxelotor for increasing oxygen saturation in patients with hypoxic hypoxemia as a result of end-stage lung disease or acute lung injury.

Design and Procedures: The day after obtaining written informed consent, 20 patients will receive 500 mg of voxelotor two times a day (for a total daily dose of 1000 mg per day) for 5 days This dose may increase to a total maximum daily dose of 1500 mg (500 mg three times a day) if subject tolerates initial dose as determined by Principal Investigator (PI).

Physiological data at screening, baseline, study day 1 - 5, and up to two days post voxelotor administration will be recorded from standard of care with the only exception being SpO2/FiO2 (S/F) ratio measurements, which will be obtained at the same intervals but by the qualified and delegated study staff or medical team through the use of an FiO2 weaning maneuver.

Study subjects will be asked to rate their dyspnea symptoms daily to record their perceived shortness of breath.

Blood samples will be collected the day prior to voxelotor administration, on study days 1 - 5, and on the 2 wash-out days following voxelotor administration. ;
