Study to Assess Safety and Impact of SelG1 With or Without Hydroxyurea Therapy in Sickle Cell Disease Patients With Pain Crises

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the investigational drug SelG1 when given to sickle cell disease patients either taking or not taking hydroxyurea was effective in preventing or reducing the occurrence of pain crises. SelG1 prevents various cells in the bloodstream from sticking together. By stopping these cell-cell interactions, SelG1 may prevent small blood vessels from becoming blocked and therefore reduce the occurrence and severity of pain crises. Other effects of SelG1 was evaluated, as well as the safety of the drug and how long it stayed in the blood stream.

Official Title
A Phase II, Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, 12-Month Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of SelG1 With or Without Hydroxyurea Therapy in Sickle Cell Disease Patients With Sickle Cell-Related Pain Crises
Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
An SCPC is defined as an acute episode of pain with no other medically determined cause than a vasoocclusive event that requires a medical facility visit and treatment with oral or parenteral narcotics, or parenteral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The annual rate of SCPC is defined as the total number of pain crises for a patient occurring from the date of randomization to the end date multiplied by 365 divided by the number of days during that same time period. End date is defined as the last dose date plus 14 days. For participants never dosed, the end date was the end of study date. This calculation accounts for early dropouts or lost to follow-up by extrapolating the SCPC rate of every participant to one year.

Annual Rate of Sickle Cell-related Pain Crises (SCPC) Per Hodges-Lehmann Median
Outcome Time Frame

Secondary Outcomes
Outcome Description
The annual rate of days hospitalized was calculated as the number of days hospitalized multiplied by 365 divided by the end date minus the date of randomization plus one where the end date is defined as the last dose date plus 14 days (for subjects never dosed, the end date equaled the end of study date, which was the last site contact for these patients).
Outcome Time Frame
One year
Outcome Measure
Annual Rate of Days Hospitalized (Key Secondary Endpoint) Per Hodges-Lehmann Median
Outcome Description
Time to first SCPC is defined as months from randomization to first SCPC. A participant without SCPC before withdrawal or completion of the study is considered censored at the time of the end date. End date is defined as the last dose plus 14 days. For participants never dosed, the end date is the end of study date.
Outcome Time Frame
Up to one year
Outcome Measure
Time to First Sickle Cell-related Pain Crisis
Outcome Description
Time to second SCPC is defined as months from randomization to second SCPC. A patient with less than two SCPC before withdrawal or completion of the study is considered censored at the time of the end date. End date is defined as the last dose plus 14 days. For patients never dosed, the end date is the end of study date.
Outcome Time Frame
Up to one year
Outcome Measure
Time to Second Sickle Cell-related Pain Crisis
Outcome Description
Uncomplicated SCPC is defined as an acute episode of pain with no known cause for pain other than a vasoocclusive event; requiring a visit to a medical facility; and requiring treatment with a parenteral or oral narcotic (including opiates), or parenteral NSAIDs; but is NOT classified as an acute chest syndrome, hepatic sequestration, splenic sequestration or priapism.
Outcome Time Frame
Up to one year
Outcome Measure
Annual Rate of Uncomplicated Sickle Cell-related Pain Crisis Per Hodges-Lehmann Median
Outcome Description
Acute Chest Syndrome (ACS) is defined on the basis of the finding of a new pulmonary infiltrate involving at least one complete lung segment that was consistent with alveolar consolidation, but excluding atelectasis (as indicated by chest X-ray). At least one of the following additional signs or symptoms needs to be present as well: a participant had to have reported chest pain, a temperature of more than 38.5oC, tachypnea, wheezing or cough.
Outcome Time Frame
One year

Annual Rate of Acute Chest Syndrome Per Hodges-Lehmann Median
Outcome Description
The BPI instrument was completed by the patients at pre-specified study visits prior to \& during the Treatment \& Follow-Up Evaluation Phases. Patients completed the brief pain inventory long-form, 1-week recall at the indicated pre-specified study visits. The BPI is a standardized self-reported questionnaire developed to provide information on the intensity of pain (the sensory dimension) as well as the degree to which pain interferes with function (the reactive dimension). The BPI also asks questions about pain relief, pain quality, \& the patient's perception of the cause of pain. Since pain can be quite variable over a day, the BPI asks patients to rate their pain at the time of responding to the questionnaire (pain now), \& also at its worst, least, \& average over the previous week. The scorings for pain \& interference have a range from 0 (no pain/no interference) to 10 (worst pain/complete interference). The BPI scoring manual was used to calculate scores for each domain.
Outcome Time Frame
Baseline, Day 15, Week 14, Week 26, Week 38, Week 52, and Week 58, up to 58 weeks
