  Purpose

The study will be conducted at 15-20 US centers in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind fashion. Enrollees will be hospitalized sickle cell disease (SCD) patients at-risk for acute chest syndrome (ACS) based on the presence of vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC), fever (T ≥38.0°C) and serum sPLA2 concentration ≥50 ng/mL.

Further study details as provided by Anthera Pharmaceuticals:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine the safety and tolerability of different doses of A 001 therapy when administered as a 2-day continuous infusion to sickle cell disease (SCD) patients at-risk for the acute chest syndrome (ACS). [ Time Frame: Study end ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of A-001 in SCD patients [ Time Frame: Study end ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To confirm the ability of A-001 infusion to suppress serum sPLA2 activity in SCD patients with elevated serum sPLA2 [ Time Frame: Study end ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To determine the efficacy of A-001 infusion in preventing ACS in SCD patients with the combination of vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC), fever, and elevated serum sPLA2 [ Time Frame: Study end ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:

This is a double-blind randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled dose escalation study (2 cohorts) in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) who are at-risk for development of acute chest syndrome (ACS) based on the combination of VOC, fever (T ≥38.0ºC), and a serum sPLA2 concentration ≥50 ng/mL.

The first group of patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive low dose A-001 or placebo as a 48-hour continuous infusion. Pharmacokinetic and clinical data from this group will undergo review by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). If there is no significant toxicity associated with A-001, then an additional group of patients will be enrolled and randomized 2:1 to high dose A-001 versus placebo as a 48-hour continuous infusion.
