Trial Outcomes & Findings for Voriconazole For Chronic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (NCT NCT00159822)

NCT ID: NCT00159822

Last Updated: 2010-01-20

Results Overview

Successful global outcome: composite assessment of radiological and mycological responses; defined as complete or partial radiological response and mycological eradication (absence of aspergillus); no success=criteria not met. Assessment was determined by the Data Review Committee (DRC). Complete response: resolution of radiographic and or bronchoscopic abnormalities attributable to aspergillosis present at baseline; partial response: reduction in diameter ≥ 50 percent on chest tomodensitometry (TDM) or regressed lesion on endoscopy witnessed by 2 different operators without any new lesion.

Voriconazole (VFend®) initially administered intravenously (IV) or orally (PO) based on investigator's clinical decision. PO loading dose every 12 hours on Day 1 for body weight ≥ 40 kilograms (kg): 400 milligrams (mg) followed by maintenance dose of 200 mg every 12 hours; or for body weight \< 40 kg, loading dose every 12 hours on Day 1: 200 mg followed by maintenance dose of 100 mg every 12 hours. If initially IV, loading dose every 12 hours on Day 1: 6 mg/kg followed by maintenance dose of 4 mg/kg every 12 hours for 3 to 10 days; then, switched to PO maintenance dose based on body weight.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: at 6 months of treatment

Population: Modified Intent to Treat (mITT): all subjects in ITT population (took at least 1 dose of voriconazole and had at least 1 post-inclusion efficacy assessment) who had diagnosis of chronic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis confirmed by the Data Review Committee (DRC); 5 subjects excluded from mITT population due to unproven diagnosis.

Successful global outcome: composite assessment of radiological and mycological responses; defined as complete or partial radiological response and mycological eradication (absence of aspergillus); no success=criteria not met. Assessment was determined by the Data Review Committee (DRC). Complete response: resolution of radiographic and or bronchoscopic abnormalities attributable to aspergillosis present at baseline; partial response: reduction in diameter ≥ 50 percent on chest tomodensitometry (TDM) or regressed lesion on endoscopy witnessed by 2 different operators without any new lesion.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During the 6 months following EOT (EOT + 3 months, EOT + 6 months)

Population: mITT; due to the small number of radiological reappearance (4 subjects), no formal analysis of this endpoint was performed.

Relapse: any proven reappearance of pulmonary aspergillosis during the follow-up period, following a successful global outcome at EOT, and defined as a deterioration of clinical signs and symptoms, confirmed radiologically (chest \[TDM\] and or endoscopy) and mycologically (histology and or culture and or serology).

Subject administered questionnaire to measure improvement in QOL; 50 questions exploring 3 different areas: symptoms, impact on activity profile (activity), and impact on daily life (impacts). Each item in an area is weighted based on empirical data; scores range from lowest possible weight 0 to highest possible weight 100. Scores for each section and total score calculated using score calculation algorithms with higher scores indicating poor health. Change from baseline: mean of (value of scores on scale at treatment visit minus baseline value).

Timeframe: Month 3, and Month 6, Month 9, or Month 12 [EOT]

Population: mITT; End of treatment (EOT) or at last visit available \[LVA\](EOT or LVA includes data from 6, 9 or 12 months in case of extension of the treatment period beyond 6 months).

Radiological response: based on chest TDM except for tracheo-bronchialaspergillosis which was assessed by bronchoscopy. Complete response: resolution of all radiographic and or bronchoscopic abnormalities attributable to aspergillosis present at baseline; partial response: reduction in diameter ≥ 50% on chest TDM or regressed lesion on endoscopy witnessed by 2 different operators without any new lesion.

Voriconazole (VFend®) initially administered intravenously (IV) or orally (PO) based on investigator's clinical decision. PO loading dose every 12 hours on Day 1 for body weight ≥ 40 kilograms (kg): 400 milligrams (mg) followed by maintenance dose of 200 mg every 12 hours; or for body weight \< 40 kg, loading dose every 12 hours on Day 1: 200 mg followed by maintenance dose of 100 mg every 12 hours. If initially IV, loading dose every 12 hours on Day 1: 6 mg/kg followed by maintenance dose of 4 mg/kg every 12 hours for 3 to 10 days; then, switched to PO maintenance dose based on body weight.

Timeframe: Month 3, and Month 6, Month 9, or Month 12 [EOT]

Population: mITT; 6, 9 or 12 months (in case of extension of the treatment period beyond 6 months) as EOT or last visit available.

Mycological response: eradication: absence of aspergillus species (spp) in bronchopulmonary samples: sputum, bronchial aspirate or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) (negative direct examination \[exam\] and negative culture), and negative histological exam when available; persistence (no eradication): presence of aspergillus spp in any relevant bronchopulmonary samples. Not done (presumed eradication): case reviewed by DRC for any mycological exams not performed to assess if case should constitute presumed eradication (no sputum due to clinical improvement).

Timeframe: Month 3, and Month 6, Month 9, or Month 12 [EOT]

Population: mITT (with serology at inclusion); 6, 9 or 12 months (in case of extension of the treatment period beyond 6 months) as EOT or last visit available. Data summarized as Worsening (failure), No change (stabilization), or Improvement (complete or partial response) due to large number of missing results values.

Serological response: normalization (complete response) defined as return to normal values (≤ 1 arc); partial response defined as significant decrease but not complete (decrease of 2 or more arcs compared to baseline). Complete or partial response summarized as Improvement; based on arc values at visit compared to arc values at baseline (inclusion).
