Study summary

Study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ponsegromab compared to placebo in patients with cancer, cachexia, and elevated GDF 15.

Read the detailed description

A 12 week double blind study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ponsegromab compared to placebo in patients with cancer, cachexia, and elevated GDF 15.

During the initial 12-week treatment period (Part A), a total of 3 doses of ponsegromab or placebo will be administered 4 weeks apart subcutaneously. Each dose contains two injections. Part B is an optional open-label treatment period consisting of ponsegromab administered every 4 weeks subcutaneously for up to one year. Part B does not include placebo.

Assessments include:

  • Body weight measurements
  • Measure the impact of ponsegromab compared to placebo on physical activity.
  • Measure the impact of ponsegromab compared to placebo on appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and physical function questionnaires.
  • Blood samples to evaluate safety and additional endpoints including the amount of study drug in the blood and the effects of the study drug on levels of GDF15
  • Up to 3 additional blood samples (two samples during Part A and one sample during Part B, if relevant) in a subset of participants as part of a substudy for more comprehensive assessment of the amount of study drug in the blood and of the effects of the study drug on levels of GDF-15.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Part A: Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 12

    Body weight was measured in kilograms using a calibrated weighing scale. Baseline was defined as the last average of the duplicate measurements prior to, or on Day 1. The average of the duplicate body weights collected at assessment time was considered. The posterior medians and 90 percent (%) credible intervals (5th and 95th percentiles of the relevant posterior distribution) were reported for each randomized dose (including placebo). 4-Parameter maximal effect (E max) model: change from baseline = E 0 + (E max \* dose\^Hill) / (ED 50\^Hill + dose\^Hill), where E0 is the placebo effect, E max is the maximum effect, ED 50 is the dose producing 50% of the maximum effect, and Hill is the slope parameter. Model utilized a Bayesian methodology with a robustified, informative meta-analytic predictive prior for the placebo change from baseline at week 12.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part A: Change From Baseline in Physical Activity at Week 12

  7. Part A: Change From Baseline in Cancer-Related Cachexia Symptom Diary (CRCSD) Scores at Week 12: Appetite, Nausea and Physical Fatigue

    The CRCSD is a daily, self-reported questionnaire that measured severity of symptoms related to cancer cachexia: appetite, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Participants rated appetite, nausea and physical fatigue symptom every day, and weekly averages were calculated over the 7 days prior, from 0 to 10, where 0 = no symptom and 10 = worst possible symptom. Higher scores indicated more severe disease. CRCSD was analyzed using an MMRM model.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

  8. Part A: Median Change From Baseline in CRCSD Scores at Week 12: Vomiting Frequency

    The CRCSD is a daily, self-reported questionnaire that measured severity of symptoms related to cancer cachexia: vomiting frequency. Participants rated vomiting frequency over the past 24 hours, from 0 to 30, where 0 = no symptom and 30 = worst possible symptom. Higher scores indicated more severe disease.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

  9. Part A: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product during the course of a clinical investigation. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether or not thought to be related to the investigational product. TEAE were defined as any event that was not present before exposure to study drug, or any event already present that worsened in either intensity or frequency after exposure to study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

SecondaryPart A: Change From Baseline in FAACT- 5-Item Anorexia Symptom Scale (5IASS) at Week 12

FAACT-5IASS is a 5-item subscale to measure participants' perceptions of anorexia (appetite) concerns for past 7 days. Each item was scored from 0 to 4, where 0= not at all, 1= a little bit, 2= somewhat, 3= quite a bit, and 4= very much. The total FAACT-5IASS score ranged from 0 to 20. Higher scores are associated with a higher health-related quality of life. FAACT-5IASS was analyzed using an MMRM model.

SecondaryPart A: Change From Baseline in Cancer-Related Cachexia Symptom Diary (CRCSD) Scores at Week 12: Appetite, Nausea and Physical Fatigue

The CRCSD is a daily, self-reported questionnaire that measured severity of symptoms related to cancer cachexia: appetite, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Participants rated appetite, nausea and physical fatigue symptom every day, and weekly averages were calculated over the 7 days prior, from 0 to 10, where 0 = no symptom and 10 = worst possible symptom. Higher scores indicated more severe disease. CRCSD was analyzed using an MMRM model.

SecondaryPart A: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product during the course of a clinical investigation. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether or not thought to be related to the investigational product. TEAE were defined as any event that was not present before exposure to study drug, or any event already present that worsened in either intensity or frequency after exposure to study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. AEs included serious AEs and all non-SAEs.

Time frame:
From the first dose of study drug until first dose of open-label ponsegromab 400 mg for participants entering Part B or through Week 16 follow-up for participants not entering Part B (including 8 weeks of follow-up from last dose of study drug in part A)
