Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Learn How Well Nifurtimox Works and How Safe it is in Children Aged 0 to 17 Years With Chagas' Disease, an Inflammatory, Infectious Disease Caused by the Parasite Trypanosoma Cruzi (NCT NCT02625974)

NCT ID: NCT02625974

Last Updated: 2024-08-19

Results Overview

Cure is defined as sero-reduction (in subjects ≥8 months to \<18 years of age at randomization) or sero-conversion (in all subjects). Sero-reduction is defined as a ≥20% reduction in optical density \[OD\]) measured by two conventional ELISA serology tests and sero-conversion is defined as negative Immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration measured by two conventional ELISA serology tests. Subjects who have missing conventional serology results at the 12 month time point were treated as failures (ie, no cure). For the primary objective in the study, superiority over placebo was confirmed if the lower limit of the 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for the nifurtimox (60-day regimen) cure rate is greater than 16%, the larger of the upper limits of the 95% CIs for historical placebo control.

Participant Flow

Part 1 of the study was conducted from 27 JAN 2016 (First subject first visit) to 25 JUL 2018 (Last subject last visit) in Argentina, Bolivia and Colombia. Part 2 of the study was conducted from 26 SEP 2018 (First subject first visit) to 10 AUG 2021 (Last subject last visit) in Argentina, Bolivia and Colombia.

Part 1: 330 subjects who were eligible to participate in the study were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either a 60-Day or 30-Day regimen with nifurtimox tablets. 308 subjects completed treatment in Part 1, and 318 subjects completed Part 1. Part 2: Of the 318 subjects completed Part 1, 295 subjects were included in Part 2.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 12 months post-treatment

Cure is defined as sero-reduction (in subjects ≥8 months to \<18 years of age at randomization) or sero-conversion (in all subjects). Sero-reduction is defined as a ≥20% reduction in optical density \[OD\]) measured by two conventional ELISA serology tests and sero-conversion is defined as negative Immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration measured by two conventional ELISA serology tests. Subjects who have missing conventional serology results at the 12 month time point were treated as failures (ie, no cure). For the primary objective in the study, superiority over placebo was confirmed if the lower limit of the 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for the nifurtimox (60-day regimen) cure rate is greater than 16%, the larger of the upper limits of the 95% CIs for historical placebo control.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Subjects participating in Part 2 were followed up for another 3 years, for a total follow-up period of 4 years after end of nifurtimox treatment in Part 1

Seronegative conversion measured by two types of assay (recombinant ELISA and indirect hemagglutination assay \[IHA\]) in subjects who were randomized and received at least one dose of the 60-day nifurtimox treatment regimen compared to an external control group of historical placebo patients with Chagas' disease. Incidence rate is the number of new cases of seronegative conversion over the study period (i.e., 4 years after end of nifurtimox treatment) divided by the person-time at risk. It was modelled using a Poisson distribution with a 2-sided 95% exact CI. Number of participants with events were reported.

Sero-reduction is defined as a =\> 20% reduction in optical density \[OD\]) measured by two conventional ELISA serology tests and sero-conversion is defined as negative Immunoglobulin G \[IgG\] concentration measured by two conventional ELISA serology tests. Cure = Cure Non reactive/reactive decreasing = Nonreac/reac dec Reactive non-decreasing = Reac nondec No cure = No Cure Missing IHA testing = IHA missing
