Study to Assess Brincidofovir Treatment of Serious Diseases or Conditions Caused by Double-stranded DNA Viruses

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Double-stranded DNA Virus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01143181
Lead Sponsor
Chimerix
Brief Summary

This was a multicenter, open-label study of oral brincidofovir (BCV) treatment of serious disease or conditions caused by double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus(es). Subjects received either a weight-based or a fixed dose of oral BCV once weekly (QW) or twice weekly (BIW) for up to 3 months until clinical disease was resolved or stabilized and/or viral DNA by polymerase chain reaction testing was negative for 4 consecutive weeks, whichever was longer. Under the first protocol amendment, adults and adolescents (≥13 years) received 200 mg or 300 mg BCV BIW (not to exceed 4 mg/kg total weekly dose) depending on the difficulty of treating their disease (i.e., Group 1 or Group 2, respectively), and pediatric subjects (≤12 years) received 4 mg/kg BCV BIW. Under the second protocol amendment, adults and adolescents (≥13 years), regardless of viral infection/disease, had a maximum weekly dose of 200 mg, i.e., 200 mg QW or 100 mg BIW; not to exceed 4mg/kg total weekly dose. Pediatric subjects (≤12 years), regardless of viral infection/disease, had a maximum weekly dose of 4 mg/kg, i.e., 4 mg/kg QW or 2 mg/kg BIW; not to exceed 200 mg.

Detailed Description

This was a multicenter, open-label study of oral brincidofovir (BCV) treatment of serious disease or conditions caused by double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus(es).

Subjects with a life-threatening or serious disease or condition caused by infection with any dsDNA virus(es), who met the protocol eligibility criteria and who were approved by the Chimerix Medical Monitor were enrolled in this open-label treatment study. During the course of the study, the viral disease indications were narrowed in Amendment 2 to cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, herpes simplex virus, vaccinia virus, variola virus, or monkeypox virus to focus on indications that were under study in controlled clinical trials of oral BCV and on viral disease with few, if any, options for treatment. However, subjects with other viral disease indications may have been enrolled with the approval of the Chimerix Medical Monitor.

Subjects received either a weight-based or a fixed dose of oral BCV once weekly (QW) or twice weekly (BIW) for up to 3 months until clinical disease was resolved or stabilized and/or viral DNA by polymerase chain reaction testing was negative for 4 consecutive weeks, whichever was longer. Subjects who met criteria for resolution of viral disease may have: 1) discontinued BCV; 2) reduced the dose or dosing frequency of BCV; or 3) continued BCV QW or BIW, depending on the investigator's assessment of the risk of relapse and following discussion with the Chimerix medical monitor.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects Who Had a Sustained and Significant Reduction in Plasma Viral Load of Primary dsDNA Virus3 months

Proportion of subjects who achieved a confirmed reduction in viral load for the primary dsDNA virus of ≥1 log10 copies/mL from baseline or to an undetectable level. Confirmation required the reduction in viral load (i.e., decrease of ≥ 1 log10 copies/mL from baseline or to undetectable levels) to be maintained at the next assessment for the subject to be considered a success.
