Résumé de l'étude

Sickle cell anemia is a rare blood (hematological) disorder that causes a ‘sickle-shaped’ form of red blood cells and leads to their destruction faster than normal cells, so that patients suffering from sickle cell anemia have a low number of red blood cells and a low hemoglobin level. They also suffer from painful phases called vaso-occlusive crises (VOC). These phases are caused by blood cells and blood vessels that stick together and slow down blood flow. The purpose of this study is to determine the correct dosing and collect safety data by administering Crizanlizumab to children aged 6 months to under 18 years for two years. Crizanlizumab is an investigational drug that has not yet received market approval. Crizanlizumab is an antibody developed to bind to the proteins on red blood cells and blood vessels that cause VOC and prevent cell sticking. The pediatric patients will be divided into 3 sequential age groups: - The first age group: 12 to < 18 years (Group 1) - The second age group: 6 to < 12 years (Group 2) - The third age group: 6 months to < 6 years (Group 3) This is an international study funded by the pharmaceutical company Novartis. Approximately 100 children will participate in 75 study centers in various countries. In Switzerland, approximately 2 patients will participate in this study. This study will be conducted in accordance with Swiss law and recognized international guidelines. The responsible ethics committee and Swissmedic have reviewed and approved the study.

The study will last just over two years and during the study there will be a maximum of 36 visits. In all study phases, the following examinations may be performed at visit appointments:

• Demographic data

• Medical history

• Physical examination

• History of pain crises

• Electrocardiogram and echocardiography

• Chest X-ray

• Transcranial Doppler ultrasound

• Blood samples

• Urine test

• Pregnancy test

• Eye examination and hearing test

• Physical development

 

Crizanlizumab will be administered on Day 1 of Week 1, Day 1 of Week 3, and then every 4 weeks for a total duration of 2 years as an intravenous infusion (through a vein) over 30 minutes.
