ACCESS 2: Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of Pozelimab and Cemdisiran Versus Continued Eculizumab or Ravulizumab Treatment in Adult Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study is:
To evaluate the effect of pozelimab and cemdisiran combination therapy on hemolysis, as assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), after 36 weeks of treatment, in patients with PNH who switch from eculizumab or ravulizumab therapy versus patients who continue their eculizumab or ravulizumab therapy
The secondary objectives of the study are to:
-
Evaluate the effect of pozelimab and cemdisiran combination treatment versus anti-C5 standard-of-care treatment (eculizumab or ravulizumab) on the following:
-
Transfusion requirements and transfusion parameters
-
Measures of hemolysis: LDH control, breakthrough hemolysis, and inhibition of CH50
-
Hemoglobin levels
-
Fatigue as assessed by Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs)
-
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as assessed by COAs
-
Safety and tolerability
-
To assess the concentrations of total pozelimab and either total eculizumab or total ravulizumab in serum and total cemdisiran and total C5 protein in plasma
-
To assess the immunogenicity of pozelimab and cemdisiran

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percent change in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) [From baseline to week 36]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of patients with transfusion avoidance [Day 1 through week 36]
Patients who do not receive an RBC transfusion as per protocol algorithm based on post baseline hemoglobin values
- Proportion of patients with transfusion avoidance [Week 4 through week 36]
Patients who do not receive an RBC transfusion as per protocol algorithm based on post baseline hemoglobin values
- Proportion of patients with breakthrough hemolysis [Day 1 through week 36]
Patients with an increase in LDH with concomitant signs or symptoms associated with hemolysis as described in the protocol
- Proportion of patients with breakthrough hemolysis [Week 4 (day 29) through week 36]
Patients with an increase in LDH with concomitant signs or symptoms associated with hemolysis as described in the protocol
- Proportion of patients with hemoglobin stabilization [Day 1 through week 36]
Patients who do not receive an RBC transfusion and have no decrease in hemoglobin level as defined in the protocol
- Proportion of patients with hemoglobin stabilization [Week 4 (day 29) through week 36]
Patients who do not receive an RBC transfusion and have no decrease in hemoglobin level as defined in the protocol
- Proportion of patients with adequate control of LDH [Day 1 through week 36]
Proportion of patients with adequate control of LDH as defined in the protocol
- Proportion of patients with adequate control of LDH [Week 8 (day 57) through week 36]
Proportion of patients with adequate control of LDH as defined in the protocol
- Proportion of patients with normalization of LDH [Day 1 through week 36]
Proportion of patients with normalization of LDH as defined in the protocol
- Proportion of patients with normalization of LDH [Week 8 (day 57) through week 36]
Proportion of patients with normalization of LDH as defined in the protocol
- Change in fatigue as measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) Scale [From baseline to week 36]
The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13 item, self-administered clinical outcome assessment (COA) assessing an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. This questionnaire is part of the FACIT measurement system, a compilation of questions measuring health related quality of life (QoL) in patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses. The FACIT-Fatigue assesses the level of fatigue using a Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue.
- Change in Physical Function (PF) score on the European organization for research and treatment of cancer quality-of-Life questionnaire Core 30 Items (EORTC-QLQ-C30) [From baseline to week 36]
EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item subject self-report questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales, including global health status/quality of life, functional Scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Participants rate items on a 4-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much."
- Change in global health status (GHS)/QoL scale score on the EORTC-QLQ-C30 [From baseline to week 36]
EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item subject self-report questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales, including global health status/quality of life, functional Scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 7 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, sleep and financial difficulties). Participants rate items on a 4-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much."
