GLASSIA Infusion Rate Study

Overview

The purpose of this study was to generate sufficient safety and tolerability information in support of an increase in the infusion rate of intravenous GLASSIA in the prescribing information from 0.04 to 0.2 mL/kg/min.

Full Title of Study: “A Phase 4 Double-Blind Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Intravenous Administration of GLASSIA in Healthy Adult Volunteers”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: January 16, 2013

Detailed Description

To achieve proper masking, 30 participants were randomly assigned to receive either GLASSIA at 0.04 mL/kg/min with a simultaneous administration of placebo (2.5% human albumin in normal saline) at 0.2 mL/kg/min (Cohort 1) or GLASSIA at 0.2 mL/kg/min with a simultaneous administration of placebo at 0.04 mL/kg/min (Cohort 2) on Day 1. Two weeks later (Day 15), the same participants received the second infusion with the opposite rate of GLASSIA infusion and the corresponding masking placebo infusion.

Interventions

  • Biological: Alpha1-proteinase inhibitor
    • GLASSIA will be supplied as a sterile, non-pyrogenic, ready-to-use solution, in single dose 50 mL vials; for intravenous administration.
  • Biological: Placebo: Human albumin 2.5%
    • Intravenous administration

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Cohort 1
    • Day 1: GLASSIA at 0.04 mL/kg/min Placebo at 0.2 mL/kg/min Day 15: GLASSIA at 0.2 mL/kg/min Placebo at 0.04 mL/kg/min
  • Experimental: Cohort 2
    • Day 1: GLASSIA at 0.2 mL/kg/min Placebo at 0.04 mL/kg/min Day 15: GLASSIA at 0.04 mL/kg/min Placebo at 0.2 mL/kg/min

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Number of Infusions Associated With a Reduction in Infusion Rate or Discontinuation of Infusion Due to an Adverse Event (Regardless of Adverse Event Causality Assessment)
    • Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 15

Secondary Measures

  • Number of Infusions With Temporally Associated Adverse Events (AEs) That Began During or Within 1 Hour of Infusion Completion
    • Time Frame: Within 1 hour of infusion completion
    • Number of infusions with temporally associated AEs with an onset time during or within 1 hour of infusion completion, regardless of causality assessment
  • Number of Infusions With Temporally Associated Adverse Events (AEs) That Began During or Within 24 Hours of Completion of an Infusion
    • Time Frame: Within 24 hours of the end of infusion
    • Number of infusions with temporally associated AEs with an onset time during or within 24 hours of infusion completion, regardless of causality assessment
  • Number of Infusions With Temporally Associated Adverse Events (AEs) That Began During or Within 72 Hours of Completion of an Infusion
    • Time Frame: Within 72 hours of the end of infusion
    • Number of infusions with temporally associated AEs with an onset time during or within 72 hours of infusion completion, regardless of causality assessment
  • Number of Possibly or Probably Related Adverse Events (AEs) That Began During an Infusion
    • Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 15
    • Number of AEs that occurred during an infusion and were deemed related to study product administration
  • Number of Possibly or Probably Related Adverse Events That Occurred Between 72 Hours and 14 Days After Infusion
    • Time Frame: 72 hours post infusion to 14 days post infusion
    • Number of AEs that occurred between 72 hours and 14 day following an infusion and were deemed related to study product administration
  • Number of Participants Testing Positive for Hepatitis A Virus (HAV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Following Treatment With GLASSIA
    • Time Frame: 105 days
    • Number of participants with seroconversion
