Summary

Background

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a disorder that causes episodes of acute pain and progressive organ damage. Ways to manage SCD have evolved slowly. Treatments do not always work. Researchers want to see if a drug called mitapivat can help people with SCD.

Objective

To test the long-term tolerability and safety of mitapivat (or AG-348) in people with SCD.

Eligibility

Adults age 18-70 with SCD who took part in and benefited from NIH study #19H0097.

Design

Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will give a blood sample. They will have an electrocardiogram to test heart function.

Participants will repeat some of the screening tests during the study.

Participants will complete 6-minute walk tests to measure mobility and function. They will have transthoracic echocardiograms to measure heart and lung function. They will have dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans to measure bone health. They will complete online questionnaires that measure their overall health and well-being.

Participants will take the study drug in the form of a tablet twice a day.

Participants will keep a study diary. They will record any symptoms they may have.

Participation will last for about 54 weeks. After 48 weeks, participants can either keep taking the study drug for 48 more weeks or be tapered off of the study drug to complete the study. Those who are on the study for 1 year will have 10 study visits. Those who are on the study for 2 years will have 14 study visits.

Description

Study Description: The objective of this extension study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of mitapivat (AG-348) as long-term maintenance therapy for subjects with sickle cell disease (SCD) who have completed the Phase I dose escalation study of mitapivat (NCT04000165, protocol 19H0097). Subjects will be treated with a maintenance dose of mitapivat previously assessed for safety and tolerability in the Phase I study for an initial 48 weeks and undergo safety monitoring, evaluation of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and assessment of secondary clinical endpoints at regular intervals over the study period. Exploratory endpoints will allow for investigation of the mechanisms by which mitapivat may modulate red cell metabolism and survival and lead to clinical benefits in SCD. Subjects benefiting from the study drug will have the option to continue therapy for an additional 5 years.

Objectives

Primary Objective: To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of mitapivat in subjects with stable sickle cell disease.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile of long-term dosing of mitapivat, as well as its mechanisms of action on the glycolytic pathway in SCD subjects.
  • To evaluate hemoglobin (Hb) response, changes in hemolytic markers, functional status, cardiopulmonary function, and health-related quality of life in SCD subjects maintained on mitapivat long-term.
  • To monitor SCD-related safety endpoints in SCD subjects maintained on mitapivat long-term.
    Endpoints

Primary Endpoints: Frequency and severity of AEs and changes in clinical and laboratory parameters over 6 years of therapy with mitapivat.

Secondary Endpoints:

  • Change from baseline in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic measures over time.
  • Hemoglobin (Hb) response and changes in hemolytic markers at 24 and 48 weeks on mitapivat.
  • Sustained Hb response from weeks 12-48.
  • Change from baseline in functional and cardiopulmonary status at 24 and 48 weeks on mitapivat.
  • Change from baseline in quality of life at 24 and 48 weeks on mitapivat.
  • Frequency of acute vaso-occlusive clinical events at 24 and 48 weeks on mitapivat.

Inclusion Criteria

Subjects completing Study 19H0097 will first be screened for eligibility. Eligibility criteria are identical with the exception of criteria 1.4, 2.2, and 2.3.p. If any of the 15 subjects completing the 19H0097 study are unable to participate in or complete the current extension study (defined as completing 24 weeks of treatment with study drug to allow for assessment of the primary endpoint), then additional new subjects na(SqrRoot) ve to mitapivat treatment
may be enrolled to replace them
Subjects will enroll onto the study and undergo screening. Subjects who do not meet any of
the following criteria during screening will not receive the study intervention but will be
counted toward study accrual. Screen failures may be rescreened at a later time
In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all of the
following criteria
1 Have provided signed written informed consent prior to performing any study
2 Age between 18-70 years
procedure, including screening procedures
3 Unequivocal diagnosis of HbSS confirmed by hemoglobin electrophoresis performed on
5 Have adequate organ function, as defined by
patients at least 90 days after a blood transfusion if previously transfused, or DNA
genotyping
4 No transfusion in the 12 weeks prior to signing consent, or absence of Hb A on
c. Absolute neutrophil count >=1.0 x 10^9power/L
hemoglobin analysis (by high-performance liquid chromatography; HPLC)
d. Hemoglobin >= 7 g/dL
e. Platelet count >=100 x 10^9/L
a. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) <=2.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)
(unless the increased AST is assessed by the Investigator as due to hemolysis)
and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <=2.5 x ULN
b. Serum creatinine <=1.25 x ULN. If serum creatinine is >1.25 x ULN, then
8 Be willing to comply with all study procedures for the duration of the study
glomerular filtration rate (based on creatinine) must be >=60 mL/min
f. Activated partial thromboplastin time and international normalized ratio <=1.5
x ULN, unless the subject is receiving therapeutic anticoagulants
6 For women of reproductive potential, have a negative serum pregnancy test during
the screening period. Women of reproductive potential are defined as sexually mature
women who have not undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal
occlusion; or who have not been naturally postmenopausal (i.e., who have not
menstruated at all for at least the preceding 1 year prior to signing informed consent
unrelated to hormonal contraception)
