GC Pharma Announces Publication of Results From Phase III Clinical Trial of ?GC5107? Immune Globulin in Frontiers in Immunology
The clinical trial (NCT02783482; GC5107B_P3) was an open-label, single-arm, historically controlled, multi-center phase III study to assess the efficacy and safety of ?GC5107? in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency (PI). The study was designed in accordance with current FDA guidance for clinical trials of IGIV products in support of their marketing as replacement therapy for PI. The clinical trial was conducted at 17 study sites (10 in the US and 7 in Canada).
The study followed 49 patients aged 3 to 70 years who received infusions of ?GC5107? doses ranging from 319 to 881 mg/kg body weight every 21 or 28 days for 12 months, according to their previous IGIV maintenance therapy.
Key findings from the Phase III Clinical Trial of GC5107 include:
- Primary Efficacy Endpoint: An incidence of 0.02 acute serious bacterial infection (aSBI) events per patient year, meeting the FDA efficacy requirement of <1 aSBI per patient year.
- Primary Safety Endpoint: The study met the FDA safety requirement of <40% of infusions having temporally associated adverse events occurring within 72 hours after the infusion.
- Quality of life measures comprising days absent from work or school due to an infection (mean of 7.1 days), hospitalization due to infection (mean of 0.1 days) and days of unscheduled visits to a physician (mean 2.3 days) were all low and compared favorably to study results in other IVIG products.
- More than 98% of the infusions were completed without discontinuation or interruption or rate reduction.
- More than 98% of all adverse events that occurred throughout the 12-month study period were mild to moderate; the most common treatment-related adverse events were headache, fatigue and nausea.
- There were no patients who experienced a treatment-related serious adverse event, hemolysis, thromboembolism or renal failure.
