Official Title: A Phase II, Multicenter, Randomized, Open Label Two Arm Study Evaluating the Effect of Crizanlizumab + Standard of Care and Standard of Care Alone on Renal Function in Sickle Cell Disease Patients ≥ 16 Years With Chronic Kidney Disease Due to Sickle Cell Nephropathy (STEADFAST)

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: crizanlizumab + standard of care
5 mg/kg by intravenous (i.v.) infusion at Week 1 Day 1, Week 3 Day 1 and Day 1 of every 4-week cycle until Week 51 in addition to their usual standard of care treatment.
Drug: Crizanlizuamb
Crizanlizumab is a concentrate for solution for infusion, i.v. use. Supplied in single use 10 mL vials at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. One vial contains 100 mg of crizanlizumab
Other Name: SEG101

Drug: Standard of Care
HU/HC (hydroxyurea/hydroxycarbamide) and/or ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors and/or ARBs (angiotensin-receptor blocker)

Active Comparator: standard of care
Patients in the standard of care alone arm will continue to receive their usual standard of care treatment.
Drug: Standard of Care

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of patients with ≥ 30% decrease in albuminuria (ACR) at 12 months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months ]
    Percentage of patients with ≥ 30% decrease in ACR at 12 months from baseline.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from baseline in albuminuria (ACR) at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3, 6, 9, and 12 months ]
    Change in ACR from baseline to 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of treatment.

  2. Percentage of patients with ≥ 30% decrease in albuminuria (ACR) at 6 months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months ]
    Percentage of patients with ≥ 30% decrease in ACR at 6 months from baseline

  3. Percentage of patients with protein to creatinine ratio (PCR) improvement at 12 months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months ]
    Percentage of patients with PCR improvement at 12 months from baseline. Improvement: ≥ 20% decrease in PCR from baseline

  4. Percentage of patients with a stable protein to creatinine ratio (PCR) at 12 months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months ]
    Percentage of patients with stable PCR at 12 months from baseline. Stable: within ± 20% change in PCR from baseline

  5. Percentage change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3, 6, 9, and 12 months ]
    Percentage change in eGFR from baseline to 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of treatment. The percentage change in eGFR is calculated as the post-baseline eGFR value minus the baseline eGFR divided by the eGFR at baseline.

  6. Slope of albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) decline [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3, 6, 9, and 12 months ]
    Slope of ACR decline from baseline to 12 months of treatment based on ACR values at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The slope of ACR decline will be estimated as a random coefficient in a linear mixed effect model: the model will be fitted to ACR data collected at baseline and at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12.

  7. Slope of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3, 6, 9, and 12 months ]
    Slope of eGFR decline from baseline to 12 months of treatment based on eGFR values at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The slope of eGFR decline will be estimated as a random coefficient in a linear mixed effect model: the model will be fitted to eGFR data collected at baseline and at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12.

  8. Percentage of patients with progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) at 12 months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months ]
    Percentage of patients with progression of CKD from baseline to 12 months

  9. Immunogenicity: Levels of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) to crizanlizumab. [ Time Frame: Baseline to follow-up period (at select time points), assessed up to approximately 1 year and 4 months ]
    Levels of ADA to crizanlizumab at select time points

  10. Annualized rate of visits to emergency room (ER) and hospitalizations [ Time Frame: Baseline to follow-up period (at select time points), assessed up to approximately 1 year and 4 months ]
    Annualized rate of visits to ER and hospitalizations due to Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) events, Vaso-occlusive crisis (VOCs), or other Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) complications.

  11. Trough serum concentration (Ctrough) of crizanlizumab [ Time Frame: Baseline to follow-up period (at select time points), assessed up to approximately 1 year and 4 months ]
    Crizanlizumab pre-dose/trough pharmacokinetic samples will be taken at select time points
