Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT06508021
Lead Sponsor
Ashibio Inc
Brief Summary

This study is researching an experimental drug called andecaliximab. The study will include pediatric and adult patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). The study will evaluate how safe and effective andecaliximab is in patients with FOP.

The study is looking at several research questions, including:

* Safety of andecaliximab in participants with FOP

* Whether andecaliximab reduces the number of new heterotopic bone lesions (Heterotopic Ossification; HO)

* Whether andecaliximab reduces the number or severity of flare-ups

* Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD): How much study drug is in your blood at different times and its impact on blood biomarker(s)

* Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

Detailed Description

The ASH-FOP-201 Study consists of 2 parts: Part 1 is a Lead-in Study to assess safety, PK/PD and preliminary efficacy; Part 2 is the Main Study, a Phase 2/3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Part 1 is composed of Part 1a, a Na18F positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography, less head (CT) Study in up to 6 participants age ≥ 15 years, and Part 1b, a flare-up Study in up to 6 participants ≥ 12 years of age. Participants enrolled in Part 1 will be randomized to one of two dose levels for 13 weeks. Participants in Part 2 will be randomized to one of two dose levels of drug vs. placebo during the 52 week trial. All participants in Part 1 or Part2 will receive study drug in the extension period of the trial.

  11. Chronic use of any of unproven therapies for FOP.

  12. Palovarotene

    • Within 1 month of Study Day 1 for all participants
    • Within 2 years of Study Day 1 for female participants <8 years of age Or male participants <10 years of age
  13. Treatment with another investigational product within 5 half lives of last dose at the time of Study Day 1 or 1 month, whichever is longer.

  14. History of allergy or hypersensitivity to andecaliximab or its excipients.

  15. Significant current laboratory abnormalities

  16. Breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning pregnancy.

  17. Those of childbearing potential unwilling to agree to abstain from sexual activity that could result in pregnancy or unwillingness to use acceptable birth control during the study and for 90 days after the last dose.

  18. Simultaneous participation in another clinical trial involving another investigational product.

  19. Significant medical condition or disability or biochemical or hematologic abnormalities that in the opinion of the Investigator would expose the participant to undue risk, prevent the conduct of study procedures, or confound the study results.

GroupInterventionDescription
Part 2: Main StudyPlacebo1-year (52-week) double-blind (Investigator, participant, and sponsor all blinded), placebo-controlled study of andecaliximab Dose level A or B (or age adjusted) SC QW or placebo in pediatric and adult patients with FOP. The Main Study will enroll approximately 80 participants, randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to andecaliximab Dose level A or B (or age adjusted) SC QW or placebo.
Part 1a: PET/CT StudyAndecaliximaba 13-week double-blind (Investigator and Participant blinded; Sponsor unblinded) Study to assess the impact of two dose levels of andecaliximab administered subcutaneously (SC), once-a-week (QW) in participants age ≥ 15 years, with FOP on a number of outcomes including Safety, Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) and the change from baseline of Na18F uptake in HO lesions by PET/CT scan, and Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs).
Part 1b: Flare-up StudyAndecaliximaba 13-week double-blind (Investigator and Participant blinded; Sponsor unblinded) study to assess the impact of two dose levels of andecaliximab administered SC QW in participants ≥12 years of age with a recent history of frequent flare-up episodes on a number of outcomes including safety, PK/PD, and flare-up incidence and symptoms and PROs.
Part 2: Main StudyAndecaliximab1-year (52-week) double-blind (Investigator, participant, and sponsor all blinded), placebo-controlled study of andecaliximab Dose level A or B (or age adjusted) SC QW or placebo in pediatric and adult patients with FOP.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of New HO Lesions as Assessed by WBCT-LH [Whole body, Computerized Tomography (CT), not including the head (less head)]Week 27 and 53

Low dose WBCT-LH (whole body CT less head) is used to create detailed images of soft tissues and bones.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent change from baseline in Na18F standardized uptake value maximum (SUVmax) of up to 7 individual HO lesion(s) per participant active at baseline as assessed by Na18F PET/CT (Part 1a).Week 14

SUV max is the SUV of the most intense voxel within a region of interest.

Number of days during which a flare-up is experienced by the participant as reported by the participantWeek 14, 27 and 53

Flare-up defined as having at least two of the following symptoms: pain, soft tissue swelling, warmth, redness, joint stiffness, or decreased range of motion.

Number of Participants With Serious Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Serious TEAEs)Week 27 and 53

Number of participants with Serious Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AE) (TEAEs), i.e, required initial/prolonged in-patient hospitalization, death, life-threatening, persistent/significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, considered as a medically important event.

Change in patient quality of life as assessed by the EuroQol 5 dimensions questionnaire with a 5-level scale (EQ-5D-5L)Week 27 and 53

EQ-5D-5L measures: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions.

Change in HO volume over time as assessed by WBCT-LH [Whole body, Computerized Tomography (CT), not including the head (less head)]Week 27 and 53
Change in patient joint involvement as assessed by Investigator using Cumulative Analog Joint Involvement Scale (CAJIS)Week 27 and 53

CAJIS is a clinician assessment of 15 major joints; each major joint rated normal unaffected (0), affected (1), or completely functionally ankylosed (2). The total score ranges from 0 to 30.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Week 27 and 53

Number of participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AE) (TEAEs), i.e., adverse events not present at baseline or exacerbation of a pre-existing condition during the on-treatment period will be reported.

Number of Participants With TEAEs by SeverityWeek 27 and 53

Severity of TEAEs will be graded as follows: Mild: Does not interfere in a significantly with functioning. Moderate: Causes some impairment of functioning but is not hazardous to health. Severe: Significant impairment or incapacitation; hazardous to one's health. Number of participants with TEAEs by severity will be reported.

Change in HO volume over time as assessed by WBCT-LH [Whole body, Computerized Tomography (CT), not including the head (less head)] (Part 1a)Week 14

Low dose WBCT-LH (whole body CT less head) is used to create detailed images of soft tissues and bones. In Part 1a, the WBCT-LH scan will be acquired as part of the PET/CT scan at baseline and Week 14.
