A Study of IMR-687 in Adult Participants With Sickle Cell Anemia (Homozygous HbSS or Sickle-β0 Thalassemia)

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Sickle Cell Disease
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT03401112
Lead Sponsor
Cardurion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Brief Summary

Study of IMR-687 in adult participants with sickle cell anemia (SCA) (homozygous HbSS or sickle-β0 thalassemia).

Detailed Description

This is a proof-of-concept study in adult SCA participants, ages 18 to 55 years old, to examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK), as well as the potential pharmacodynamic (PD) effects and clinical efficacy, of IMR-687 across a range of doses.

IMR-687 was administered in 2 populations of participants with SCA: those who were not receiving hydroxyurea (HU) and those who were receiving a stable dose of HU according to standard of care.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number Of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) And Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Day 1 (after dosing) through up to Week 24

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE was defined as any AE that resulted in 1 or more of the following outcomes: death, required or prolonged hospitalization, life-threatening, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect, or other medically important event. A summary of serious and all other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PK Of Participants Who Concomitantly Received HU: Cmax Of HUBaseline (1 and 2) and Week 17

For PK assessments of participants who concomitantly received HU, serial blood samples for HU PK were drawn predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 8, and 10 hours after self-administration of the prescribed dose of HU. HU in the presence (end of treatment \[EOT\]: Week 17) or absence of IMR-687 (Baselines 1 and 2) are presented. HU concentration data were not sorted with respect to HU dose.

PK Of Participants Who Concomitantly Received HU: AUC0-24h Of HUBaseline (1 and 2) and Week 17

For PK assessments of participants who concomitantly received HU, serial blood samples for HU PK were drawn predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 8, and 10 hours after self-administration of the prescribed dose of HU. HU in the presence (EOT: Week 17) or absence of IMR-687 (Baselines 1 and 2) are presented. HU concentration data were not sorted with respect to HU dose.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Of Participants Who Did Not Concomitantly Receive HU: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) Of IMR-687Day 1 and Week 25

For PK assessments of participants who did not concomitantly receive HU, serial blood samples for IMR-687 plasma concentrations were drawn predose at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after administration of study drug; and at 24 hours after administration of study drug. Day 1 (single-dose) and steady-state (Week 25) assessments are presented.

PK Of Participants Who Did Not Concomitantly Receive HU: Area Under The Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 To 24 Hours Postdose (AUC0-24h) Of IMR-687Day 1 and Week 25

For PK assessments of participants who did not concomitantly receive HU, serial blood samples for IMR-687 plasma concentrations were drawn predose at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after administration of study drug; and at 24 hours after administration of study drug. Day 1 (single-dose) and steady-state (Week 25) assessments are presented.

PK Of Participants Who Concomitantly Received HU: Cmax Of IMR-687Day 1 and Week 17

For PK assessments of participants who concomitantly received HU, serial blood samples for IMR-687 PK were drawn predose at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after administration of study drug; and at 24 hours after administration of study drug. Day 1 (single-dose) and steady-state (Week 17) assessments are presented.

PK Of Participants Who Concomitantly Received HU: AUC0-24h Of IMR-687Day 1 and Week 17

For PK assessments of participants who concomitantly received HU, serial blood samples for IMR-687 plasma concentrations were drawn predose at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after administration of study drug; and at 24 hours after administration of study drug. Day 1 (single-dose) and steady-state (Week 17) assessments are presented.
