Clinical Trial Summary

This study was a multi-center, randomized, open-label, active comparator-controlled, parallel group study. The purpose of this Phase 3 study in PNH patients presenting with residual anemia despite treatment with anti-C5 antibody, was to determine whether iptacopan is efficacious and safe for the treatment of PNH through demonstration of superiority of iptacopan compared to anti-C5 antibody treatment.


Description:

The study comprised three periods: - A screening period lasting up to 8 weeks (unless there was a need to extend it for vaccinations required for inclusion, vaccinations were started as early as possible to avoid extension of the screening period) - A 24-week randomized, open-label, active controlled, treatment period for the primary efficacy and safety analyses. Patients who met the eligibility criteria at screening were stratified based on the type of prior anti-C5 antibody treatment (eculizumab or ravulizumab) and based on the transfusion history as reported during the last 6 months prior to randomization (i.e. transfusion received/not received). Patients were randomized to one of the two treatment groups in an 8:5 ratio to either iptacopan monotherapy at a dose of 200 mg orally b.i.d. or i.v. anti-C5 antibody treatment (patients continued with the same regimen during the randomized treatment period as they were prior to randomization), respectively. - A 24-week open-label, iptacopan treatment extension period. The patients randomized to the active comparator group were offered to switch to iptacopan on Day 168 (Week 24 visit) and entered the treatment extension period, after receiving a last dose of anti-C5 antibody treatment (eculizumab or ravulizumab). For patients in the comparator group not agreeing to switch treatment, Week 24 visit was the End of Study visit for the trial with no participation in the treatment extension period. For patients agreeing to switch to oral iptacopan, the Extension treatment started on the day after completion of the Week 24 visit. The patients in the iptacopan group who, in the opinion of investigator, benefitted from treatment and were taking iptacopan at Week 24 visit (i.e. did not permanently discontinue study medication), were offered the opportunity to continue oral iptacopan treatment during the treatment extension period. - Data cut-off date used for the primary results submission was 26- Sep-2022

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Marginal Proportion (Expressed as Percentages) of Participants With Sustained Increase in Hemoglobin Levels From Baseline of = 2 g/dL in the Absence of Red Blood Cell Transfusions Sustained increase in hemoglobin levels (responder) is defined as an increase from baseline in hemoglobin levels = 2 g/dL on three out of four measurements taken at the visits occurring in last six weeks (between Day 126 and 168) of the randomized treatment period, without requiring red blood cell (RBC) transfusions between Day 14 and Day 168. Requiring RBC transfusions refers to any patient receiving transfusions or meeting protocol defined criteria (Hemoglobin level = 9 g/dL with signs /and or symptoms of sufficient severity to warrant a transfusion or Hemoglobin of = 7 g/dL, regardless of presence of clinical signs and/or symptoms).
The term 'marginal proportion' can be interpreted as the population average probability of being a responder for each treatment group. These values include adjustment for baseline covariates and missing data has also been taken into account.
Baseline, hemoglobin between Day 126 and Day 168 and absence of transfusions between Day 14 and Day 168
Primary Marginal Proportion (Expressed as Percentages) of Participants With Sustained Hemoglobin Levels of = 12 g/dL in the Absence of Red Blood Cell Transfusions Sustained hemoglobin levels (responder) is defined as hemoglobin levels = 12 g/dL on three out of four measurements taken at the visits occurring in last six weeks (between Day 126 and 168) of the randomized treatment period, without requiring red blood cell (RBC) transfusions between Day 14 and Day 168. Requiring RBC transfusions refers to any patient receiving transfusions or meeting protocol defined criteria (Hemoglobin level = 9 g/dL with signs /and or symptoms of sufficient severity to warrant a transfusion or Hemoglobin of = 7 g/dL, regardless of presence of clinical signs and/or symptoms).
The term 'marginal proportion' can be interpreted as the population average probability of being a responder for each treatment group. These values include adjustment for baseline covariates and missing data has also been taken into account.
Hemoglobin between Day 126 and Day 168 and absence of transfusions between Day 14 and Day 168
Secondary Marginal Proportion (Expressed as Percentages) of Participants Who Remain Free From Transfusions Marginal proportion (expressed as percentages) of participants who did not require transfusions between Day 14 and Day 168. Requiring red blood cell transfusions refers to any patient receiving transfusions or meeting protocol defined criteria (Hemoglobin level = 9 g/dL with signs /and or symptoms of sufficient severity to warrant a transfusion or Hemoglobin of = 7 g/dL, regardless of presence of clinical signs and/or symptoms). The term 'marginal proportion' can be interpreted as the population average probability of being a responder for each treatment group. These values include adjustment for baseline covariates and missing data has also been taken into account. Between Day 14 and Day 168
Secondary Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin in the Randomized Treatment Period Change from baseline in hemoglobin levels as mean of visits between Day 126 and Day 168.
For this analysis, in order to factor out the effect of transfusions, if a patient had a transfusion during the randomized treatment period, then the hemoglobin values 30 days following the transfusion were excluded and hemoglobin data were imputed.
Baseline and mean of visits between Day 126 and 168
Secondary Change From Baseline in FACIT-Fatigue Questionnaire in the Randomized Treatment Period Change from baseline in FACIT-Fatigue scores as mean of visits between Day 126 and Day 168.
The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item questionnaire with support for its validity and reliability in PNH that assesses patient self-reported fatigue and its impact on daily activities and function. All FACIT scales are scored so that a high score is better. As each of the 13 items of the FACIT-F Scale ranges from 0-4, the range of possible scores is 0-52, with 0 being the worst possible score and 52 the best.
Baseline and mean of visits between Day 126 and Day 168
Secondary Change From Baseline in Absolute Reticulocyte Count in the Randomized Treatment Period Change from baseline in absolute reticulocyte count as mean of visits between Day 126 and Day 168 Baseline and mean of visits between Day 126 and 168
Secondary Ratio to Baseline in Log-transformed LDH in the Randomized Treatment Period Average of the Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) log transformed ratio to baseline in each treatment estimated between Day 126 and Day 168.The log transformation used refers to the natural log (base of e). Baseline and mean of visits between Day 126 and 168
Secondary Adjusted Annualized Clinical BTH Rate in the Randomized Treatment Period Adjusted annualized rate of clinical breakthrough hemolysis (BTH) events are from negative binomial model.
A patient with multiple occurrences of an event under one treatment is counted only once for that treatment.
The breakthrough is defined clinical if either there is a decrease in hemoglobin levels equal to or more than 2 g/dL (compared to the latest assessment, or within 15 days) or if patients present signs or symptoms of gross hemoglobinuria, painful crisis, dysphagia or any other significant clinical PNH-related signs & symptoms, in presence of laboratory evidence of intravascular hemolysis.
Between Day 1 and Day 168
Secondary Adjusted Annualized Major Adverse Vascular Events Rate in the Randomized Treatment Period Adjusted annualized Major Adverse Vascular Events (MAVEs incl. thrombosis) rate. A MAVE is defined as: acute peripheral vascular occlusion, amputation (non-traumatic; nondiabetic), cerebral arterial occlusion/cerebrovascular accident, cerebral venous occlusion, dermal thrombosis, gangrene (non-traumatic; nondiabetic), hepatic/portal vein thrombosis (Budd-Chiari syndrome), mesenteric/visceral arterial, thrombosis or infarction, mesenteric/visceral vein thrombosis or infarction, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolus, renal arterial thrombosis, renal vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis / deep vein thrombosis, transient ischemic attack, unstable angina or other.
A patient with multiple occurrences of an event under one treatment is counted only once for that treatment.
Between Day 1 and Day 168
