Phase II Study of IL-11 (Neumega) in Von Willebrand Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is testing the use of rhIL-11 (recombinant interleukin 11, Neumega) in individuals with Von Willebrand disease. The purpose is to evaluate:

1. if rhIL-11 corrects VWF (Von Willebrand Factor) levels to normal

2. if rhIL-11 and DDAVP together will boost VWF levels even higher

3. the onset, peak, and duration of rhIL-11 effect

4. if rhIL-11 is safe in individuals with Von Willebrand Disease

Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective, single center, open-label, escalating dose Phase II comparison study of interleukin-11 (rhIL-11, Neumega) in subjects with type 1 Von Willebrand Disease (VWD).

The purpose is to establish the clinical safety and hemostatic efficacy of rhIL-11 in individuals with type 1 Von Willebrand disease.

Study subjects will include the following subjects:

1. age >= 18 years of age

2. diagnosis of VWD confirmed by: 2a) at least 2 of 4 abnormal vWD-related coagulation tests; 2b) a past bleeding history

A total of 10-16 subjects are anticipated to be enrolled and complete the study. The specific aims of the study are:

1. to compare the hemostatic efficacy of three escalating doses of rhIL-11

2. to determine the biologic effects of rhIL-11

3. to determine whether DDAVP, when given after the seventh daily dose of rhIL-11, enhances hemostatic efficacy or rhIL-11

4. to compare the safety of three escalating doses of rhIL-11

Efficacy will be based on the number and percent increase of VWD-related coagulation tests into the normal range, or at least to 2-3 times baseline.

Safety will be based on the number and frequency of adverse reactions, including fever, headache, fatigue, arthralgias, myalgias, fluid retention, and edema.

The study will last up to 4 weeks per subject, and for 24 months for the entire study. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
