BT200 in Hereditary Bleeding Disorders

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Von Willebrand Diseases; Hemophilia A
• Interventions: Drug: BT200

• Registration Number: NCT04677803
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna

Brief Summary

BT200 is a PEGylated aptamer that binds to the A1 domain of human von Willebrand factor (VWF). At low doses, BT200 blocks the clearance of VWF antigen (VWF Ag) from the circulation and causes an increase in concentrations of both VWF Ag and Factor VIII (FVIII), but has negligible effect on the activity of either. At higher doses, BT200 blocks clearance of VWF and also inhibits its activity, but still does not inhibit FVIII activity. Therefore, low dose BT200 could potentially be used to correct deficiency of VWF and/or FVIII in patients with hereditary bleeding disorders. This study is designed as a "basket design" pilot study to determine the relevant dose and pharmacological activity of BT200 in such patients.

In this open basket study up to 25 patients with the following congenital blood-clotting disorders are to be included: Patients with hemophilia A, heterozygous carriers of hemophilia A with subnormal FVIII levels; patients with von Willebrand syndrome (VWD) type 1, "Vicenza type", and with VWD type 2b.

Participants will receive BT200 subcutaneously on day 0, day 4 and day 7 in the first week and then once a week for a total of five weeks - initially in a dose of 3 mg, then in week 3 individually after response in a dose of 3 to 9 mg.

Subsequently, blood samples are taken once a week for a further three weeks (wash-out phase).

Patients may be enrolled in an additional pharmacokinetics sub-study. For this purpose, approximately three blood samples are taken to estimate the half-life of substituted FVIII under the influence of BT200.

The primary objective of this study is to obtain clinical proof of mechanism for BT200 in one or more hereditary bleeding disorders.

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: COMPLETED
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 26

Inclusion Criteria

To be eligible for this study, patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria:

1. Hereditary bleeding disorder:

   • Congenital hemophilia A without inhibitors with a prophylactic treatment regime
   • Heterozygous carriers of hemophilia A with subnormal FVIII levels
   • VWD Type 1, "Vicenza" type
   • VWD Type 2b

2. Male or female, age ≥18-70 years old at Screening

3. If female, must be post-menopausal or surgically sterilized

4. Able to comprehend and to give informed consent

5. Able to cooperate with the Investigator, to comply with the requirements of the study, and to complete the full sequence of protocol-related procedures -

Exclusion Criteria

Patients meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:

1. Clinically significant medical history or ongoing chronic illness that would jeopardize the safety of the patient or compromise the quality of the data derived from his/her participation in this study
2. Medical History of spontaneous (not FVIII or FEIBA-associated) venous or arterial thromboembolic events
3. History of significant drug allergy or anaphylactic reactions
4. Substance abuse, mental illness, or any reason that makes it unlikely in the judgment of the Investigator for the patient to be able to comply fully with study procedures
5. Use of medication during 2 weeks before the start of the study, which in the judgment of the Investigator may adversely affect the patient's welfare or the integrity of the study's results
6. Concurrent treatment with other experimental drugs or participation in another clinical trial with any investigational drug within 30 days or 5 elimination half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to treatment start -

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Treatment	BT200	Subcutaneous (SC) injection: BT200 dose 3 mg on Day 0, Day 4, and again on Day 7 BT200 dose titrated thereafter between 3 and 9 mg on Days 14, 21, and 28. It is anticipated that dose adjustments will be performed in 2 mg steps. The 9 mg dose will only be applied on day 28 in exceptional circumstances, if no relevant changes in pharmacodynamic and safety parameters will be observed on day 21.
