Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reparixin in Pancreatic Islet Transplantation (NCT NCT01220856)

NCT ID: NCT01220856

Last Updated: 2021-03-11

Results Overview

Insulin-independence was defined as freedom from the need to take exogenous insulin for 14 or more consecutive days, with adequate glycemic control, as defined by: * HbA1c level of less than 7%; * glucose level after an overnight fast not exceeding 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) more than 3 times a week (based on measuring capillary glucose level a minimum of 7 times in a 7-day period); * glucose level not exceeding 2-hour postprandial levels of 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) more than 4 times a week (based on measuring capillary glucose level a minimum of 21 times in a 7-day period).

Participant Flow

A total of 9 patients were enrolled into the study; 6 were randomized to reparixin and 3 to the control group. All in the control group and 2 in the reparixin group were withdrawn after Transplant 1 due to graft loss. 4 in the reparixin group received Transplant 2. Thereafter, 1 was withdrawn due to graft loss. 1 was lost to follow-up.

Reparixin
Reparixin + Immunosuppression Reparixin was administered at a dose of 2.772 mg/kg body weight/hour for 7 days (168 hours) at each transplant. It was administered as a continuous IV infusion into a (high-flow) central vein. Investigational Product infusion was to begin approximately 12 hours (range between 6 to 16 hours) before each pancreatic islet infusion was started. The Investigator identified the time to start study drug administration. Reparixin was given to all patients of this arm using the same dosing solution (reparixin 11.00 mg/mL), but the pump rate was adjusted to provide an infusion rate of approximately 0.25 mL/kg/hour. For immunosuppression regimen see the other arm description. Reparixin: Reparixin + immunosuppression
No Experimental Intervention
Immunosuppression only. Induction: First islet infusion: anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), administered IV (central vein) at the dose of 1.5 mg/kg on Day -1, 0, 1, and 2 of islet infusion. The first ATG injection was preceded by a bolus IV injection of 500 mg methylprednisolone. Induction for the second islet infusion was to be administered per center practice. Maintenance: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), administered orally at the dose of 1 g twice a day, starting on Day -1 of the first islet infusion; Tacrolimus, administered orally starting on Day -1 of the first islet infusion at a dose of 0.087 mg/kg twice a day. Thereafter, dosing was to be targeted to blood trough levels of 8 to 10 ng/mL. Administration continued up to Month 3 after the first transplant. Rapamycin was to replace tacrolimus from Month 3 after the first transplant. It was to be administered orally at the starting dose of 0.1 mg/kg once a day, then targeted to a blood trough level of 10 to 12 ng/mL.

Reparixin + Immunosuppression Reparixin was administered at a dose of 2.772 mg/kg body weight/hour for 7 days (168 hours) at each transplant. It was administered as a continuous IV infusion into a (high-flow) central vein. Investigational Product infusion was to begin approximately 12 hours (range between 6 to 16 hours) before each pancreatic islet infusion was started. The Investigator identified the time to start study drug administration. Reparixin was given to all patients of this arm using the same dosing solution (reparixin 11.00 mg/mL), but the pump rate was adjusted to provide an infusion rate of approximately 0.25 mL/kg/hour.

Population: Safety Population: all patients who were randomized into the study.

Safety was assessed by monitoring the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) throughout the study up to 1 year after last transplant. A serious adverse event is an adverse reaction that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or is a birth defect.

The beta-score provides a simple clinical scoring system that encompasses glycemic control, diabetes therapy, and endogenous insulin secretion that correlates well with physiological measures of beta-cell function. On this basis, it is suitable as an overall measure of beta-cell transplant function. Beta score is a composite scoring system based on fasting plasma glucose values, HbA1c, insulin independence or use of insulin/OHAs, and the determination of stimulated C-peptide levels. Normal values are given a score of 2, intermediate values merit a score of 1, and clearly abnormal values garner no points. Thus, a perfect score is 8, and a score of 0 indicates absolute absence of beta-cell function.

Timeframe: At months 1, 3, 6 after transplant 1 and months 1,3, 6, and 12 after transplant 2

Population: Efficacy Population: All patients who were randomized and received the transplant were included in the efficacy population. This population was based on the treatment randomized, regardless of the treatment actually received.

The TEF/IEQ/kg ratio is a parameter to assess transplant efficiency corrected by the number of transplanted islets.

Reparixin
n=6 Participants
Reparixin + Immunosuppression Reparixin was administered at a dose of 2.772 mg/kg body weight/hour for 7 days (168 hours) at each transplant. It was administered as a continuous IV infusion into a (high-flow) central vein. Investigational Product infusion was to begin approximately 12 hours (range between 6 to 16 hours) before each pancreatic islet infusion was started. The Investigator identified the time to start study drug administration. Reparixin was given to all patients of this arm using the same dosing solution (reparixin 11.00 mg/mL), but the pump rate was adjusted to provide an infusion rate of approximately 0.25 mL/kg/hour. For immunosuppression regimen see the other arm description. Reparixin: Reparixin + immunosuppression
No Experimental Intervention
n=3 Participants
Immunosuppression only. Induction: First islet infusion: anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), administered IV (central vein) at the dose of 1.5 mg/kg on Day -1, 0, 1, and 2 of islet infusion. The first ATG injection was preceded by a bolus IV injection of 500 mg methylprednisolone. Induction for the second islet infusion was to be administered per center practice. Maintenance: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), administered orally at the dose of 1 g twice a day, starting on Day -1 of the first islet infusion; Tacrolimus, administered orally starting on Day -1 of the first islet infusion at a dose of 0.087 mg/kg twice a day. Thereafter, dosing was to be targeted to blood trough levels of 8 to 10 ng/mL. Administration continued up to Month 3 after the first transplant. Rapamycin was to replace tacrolimus from Month 3 after the first transplant. It was to be administered orally at the starting dose of 0.1 mg/kg once a day, then targeted to a blood trough level of 10 to 12 ng/mL.

Measure
Reparixin
n=6 participants at risk
Reparixin + Immunosuppression Reparixin was administered at a dose of 2.772 mg/kg body weight/hour for 7 days (168 hours) at each transplant. It was administered as a continuous IV infusion into a (high-flow) central vein. Investigational Product infusion was to begin approximately 12 hours (range between 6 to 16 hours) before each pancreatic islet infusion was started. The Investigator identified the time to start study drug administration. Reparixin was given to all patients of this arm using the same dosing solution (reparixin 11.00 mg/mL), but the pump rate was adjusted to provide an infusion rate of approximately 0.25 mL/kg/hour. For immunosoppression regimen see the other arm description. Reparixin: Reparixin + immunosuppression
No Experimental Intervention
n=3 participants at risk
Immunosuppression only. Induction: First islet infusion: anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), administered IV (central vein) at the dose of 1.5 mg/kg on Day -1, 0, 1, and 2 of islet infusion. The first ATG injection was preceded by a bolus IV injection of 500 mg methylprednisolone. Induction for the second islet infusion was to be administered per center practice. Maintenance: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), administered orally at the dose of 1 g twice a day, starting on Day -1 of the first islet infusion; Tacrolimus, administered orally starting on Day -1 of the first islet infusion at a dose of 0.087 mg/kg twice a day. Thereafter, dosing was to be targeted to blood trough levels of 8 to 10 ng/mL. Administration continued up to Month 3 after the first transplant. Rapamycin was to replace tacrolimus from Month 3 after the first transplant. It was to be administered orally at the starting dose of 0.1 mg/kg once a day, then targeted to a blood trough level of 10 to 12 ng/mL.
