Clinical Trial Summary

A Multi-Centre, Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to investigate Efficacy and Safety of Sevuparin Infusion for the Management of Acute Vaso-Occlusive Crisis (VOC) in Subjects with Sickle-Cell Disease (SCD).


Description:

This will be a phase II, multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess preliminary efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of 2-7 days continuous IV administration of sevuparin for the management of acute VOC in subjects with SCD.

Adults and adolescents ≥ 12 years of age will be randomized to treatment with sevuparin or placebo (ratio 1:1).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Time to resolution of VOC Time from start of infusion until resolution of VOC crisis/episode From hospitalisation until discharge, defined as freedom from parenteral opioid use and readiness for discharge i.e. from randomisation until day 7
Secondary Frequency and pattern of treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAEs) All events to be reported from randomization until end of study Time from start randomsiation until end of study, approximately 1 month 1 week after randomisation
Secondary Pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of sevuparin PK characteristics of sevuparin during and after administration of sevuparin as a continuous IV infusion (subgroup) ?Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of Sevuparin. Pre dose, 1h, 2h, 24h, 1/day (day 3-8)
Secondary Mean change in pain intensity VAS (visual analog scale) every fourth hour. Range from 0 (no pain) to 100 (max pain) From baseline (visit 1) until day 3-7
Secondary Duration of severest pain, Defined as time to a 30% reduction in pain intensity (VAS) From baseline (visit 1) until day 3-7
Secondary Cumulative dose of parenteral opioids Total dose of parenteral opioids From baseline (visit 1) until day 3-7
