Effect of Miglustat on the Nasal Potential Difference in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Homozygous for the F508del Mutation

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Cystic Fibrosis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo ; Miglustat
Registration Number
NCT02325362
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Miglustat restores the function of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in adult patients with cystic fibrosis homozygous for the F508del mutation.

Detailed Description

The aims of this study are:

1. To determine whether Miglustat can restore the function of the CFTR protein in adult patients with cystic fibrosis homozygous for the F508del mutation

2. To evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Miglustat in adult patients with cystic fibrosis homozygous for the F508del mutation.

3. To investigate pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic of Miglustat in adult patients with cystic fibrosis homozygous for the F508del mutation.

Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion criteria at screening visit (Visit 1):

  • Aged 18 years and older

  • Male or female

  • Women of childbearing potential must:

    • have a negative serum pregnancy test at Visit 1
    • agree to use from Visit 1 until 3 months after the last study drug intake a reliable method of contraception
  • Male patients accepting for the duration of the study and for 3 months thereafter to use a condom

  • Homozygous for the F508del mutation as confirmed by genetic testing

  • Sweat chloride ≥ 60 mmol/L

  • Basal nasal potential difference (NPD) ≤ -30.0 mV (equal to or more electrically negative than -30.0 mV) and total chloride secretion (TCS) ≥ - 5.0 mV for at least one nostril. However, if it is possible to analyze both nostrils, the total chloride secretion (TCS) is to be ≥ - 5.0 mV (equal to or more electrically positive than - 5.0 mV) in both nostrils.

  • FEV1 ≥ 25% of predicted

  • Able to comply with all protocol requirements

  • Signed informed consent prior to any study-mandated procedure

Inclusion criteria at randomization visit (Visit 2):

  • Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test
  • Basal nasal potential difference (NPD) ≤ - 30.0 mV (equal to or more electrically negative than - 30.0 mV) and total chloride secretion (TCS) ≥ - 5.0 mV for at least one nostril. However, if it is possible to analyze both nostrils, the total chloride secretion (TCS) is to be ≥ - 5.0 mV (equal to or more electrically positive than - 5.0 mV) in both nostrils.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Any condition prohibiting the correct measurement of the NPD such as upper respiratory tract infection
  • Acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection requiring antibiotic intervention within 2 weeks of screening
  • Lung transplant recipient or patient on a lung transplant waiting list
  • Any modification in regular treatments (new treatment initiated or discontinued treatment) or modification in dosing within 2 weeks prior to start of Period 1
  • Moderate/Severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 70 mL/min as per Cockroft and Gault)
  • Systemic corticosteroids (> 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) within 14 days prior to screening and up to start of study
  • Women who are breast-feeding, pregnant, or who plan to become pregnant during the course of the study
  • History of significant lactose intolerance
  • Presence of clinically significant diarrhoea (> 3 liquid stools per day for > 7 days) without definable cause within one month prior to screening
  • Any known factor or disease that might interfere with treatment compliance, study conduct or interpretation of the results such as drug or alcohol dependence or psychiatric disease
  • Active or passive smoking
  • Hypersensitivity to Miglustat or any excipients
  • Planned treatment or treatment with another investigational drug or therapy (e.g., gene therapy) within one month prior to randomization
  • Known concomitant life-threatening disease with a life expectancy < 12 months
  • Indication against Isuprel® (Isoproterenol) including heart diseases.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean TCS in mVDay 14

TCS (Total Chloride Secretion) is the sum of responses in nasal potential difference (NPD) calculated as the mean of the right and left nostril measurements for each patient

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Electrochemical skin conductance at end-of-treatment minus electrochemical skin conductance at baseline

TCS difference in mVDay 14

TCS difference is calculated as the change in measurements of TCS for the right and left nostrils independently for each patient.

Percentage of patients with a TCS at end-of-treatment ≤ - 5 mVday 14

The percentage of patients with a TCS response at end-of-treatment ≤ -5mV

Change of basal NPD in mVday 14

Basal NPD at end-of-treatment minus basal NPD at baseline

FEV1 (in % of predicted)day 14
