Study summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate DCR-PHXC in participants with PH1 and severe renal impairment, with or without dialysis.

Read the detailed description

The DCR-PHXC-204 study is listed under study number NN7022-8398 in Novo Nordisk systems.

This is an open-label, repeat-dose, Phase 2 study of DCR-PHXC in participants with PH1 and severe renal impairment, with or without dialysis. Following the up-to-35- day screening period, participants will return to the clinic for monthly dosing visits through Day 180. Participants successfully completing the Day 180 visit will continue on to an extended follow-up period and receive open-label DCR-PHXC for an additional 5 years, or until DCR-PHXC is commercially available, whichever comes first. As participants in this extended treatment period will return to the clinic only every 3 months, participants and/or their caregivers may be trained in the at-home administration of DCR-PHXC or home health nurses may assist with administration of DCR -PHXC.

The total duration of the study is approximately 5 years from first participant, first visit, to last participant, last Day 180 visit, with up to an additional 5 years of extended follow-up.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Other outcomes

  1. Change from Baseline in the Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36®) in adults

    To evaluate the effect of DCR-PHXC on Quality of Life (QoL) assessments in patients with PH. The SF 36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures that taps 8 health concepts: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to personal or emotional problems, emotional well-being, social functioning, energy/fatigue, and general health perceptions. It also includes a single item that provides an indication of perceived change in health. The 36 items are identical to the MOS SF 36 described in Ware and Sherbourne (1992). Participants respond to each item on a categorical scale. Categorical answers are transformed to a 0 to 100 range so that the lowest and highest possible scores are 0 and 100, respectively. All items are scored so that a high score defines a more favorable health state

    Time frame: 180 days

  2. Change from Baseline in the EQ-5D-5L™ in adults

    To evaluate the effect of DCR-PHXC on Quality of Life (QoL) assessments in patients with PH. The EQ-5D-5L consists of the EQ 5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The descriptive system has 5 dimensions: 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 digits for the 5 dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the participant's health state. The EQ VAS records the participant's self-rated health on a 20-cm vertical VAS, where the endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and 'The worst health you can imagine.' Participants are asked to place an "X" on the line that represents their health on that day.

    Time frame: 180 days

  3. Change from Baseline in the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™) in children

    To evaluate the effect of DCR-PHXC on Quality of Life (QoL) assessments in patients with PH. The 23-item PedsQL is comprised of 5 items in the Emotional, Social, and School Functioning dimensions (Psychosocial Health) and 8 items in the Physical Functioning (Physical Health) dimension. Items are reverse-scored on a 0 to 4 Likert scale and linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale, so that higher scores indicate better functioning and HRQOL. Scale Scores are the sum of the items in each dimension, divided by the number of items answered.

    Time frame: 180 days

  4. Changes from Baseline number of kidney stones

    Evaluate the effect of DCR-PHXC on stone burden in participants with PH1 and severe renal impairment through Kidney Ultrasound

    Time frame: 180 days

  5. Changes from Baseline size of kidney stones

    Evaluate the effect of DCR-PHXC on stone burden in participants with PH1 and severe renal impairment through Kidney Ultrasound

    Time frame: 180 days
