Trial Overview

Outcome

Primary endpoint met - positive

Purpose

This phase III study is designed to investigate the efficacy of fostamatinib [fostamatinib disodium, R935788; Rigel Pharmaceuticals] in patients with persistent/chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura who have platelet counts below 30,000 platelets/µL.

Comments

According to a Grifols media release, European Commission has approved TAVLESSE (fostamatinib) for the treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in adult patients who are refractory to other treatments.

Based on the data from the Phase 3 clinical program [Study 047, 048 and 049] the U.S. FDA approved TAVALISSE (fostamatinib disodium) for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia. Together with an initial proof of concept study, the NDA included 163 ITP patients (as of 17th Apr 2018).

According to a Kissei Pharmaceutical media release, based on the results of the Phase 3 clinical trials of TAVALISSE in ITP patients in Japan and outside of Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has granted manufacturing and marketing approval for the oral spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor, TAVALISSE (Tab. 100mg and 150mg (generic name: fostamatinib disodium hexahydrate)), for chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (chronic ITP).

Mean of the ITP Bleeding Score (IBLS)

description: The ITP Bleeding Scale (IBLS) is an immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)-specific bleeding score used to analyze the correlation of clinical and laboratory platelet variables with bleeding. The IBLS comprises of 11 grades from 0 (none) to 2 (marked bleeding) by history over the previous week or by exam; 2 being worse. These 11 grades include: skin by physical exam, oral by physical exam, skin by history, oral by history, epistaxis, gastrointestinal, urinary, gynecological, pulmonary, intracranial hemorrhage, and subconjunctival hemorrhage. After each grade is scored, the mean value for all 11 grades is calculated (lowest score being 0 and highest score being 2) for each subject visit. LOCF method was used to impute any missing data. The mean of the IBLS scores across visits during the 24-week treatment period was summarized by treatment group using descriptive statistics. A 2-sided, 2-sample t-test was used to test for a difference in means between treatments for this endpoint. time_frame: Assessed over the 24-week study period

Mean of World Health Organization (WHO) Bleeding Scale

description: The World Health Organization (WHO) bleeding scale is a standardized grading scale created to measure the severity of bleeding. The scale is a clinical investigator-assessed five-point scale with a score range starting at the lowest 0=No bleeding, 1 = Petechiae, 2=Mild blood loss, 3=Gross blood loss, to the worse 4=Debilitating blood loss. The WHO bleeding scale is scored by history over the previous-week or by exam. After each grade is scored, the mean value is calculated (lowest score being 0 [no bleeding] to the highest score being 4 [debilitating blood loss]) for each visit. LOCF method was used to impute any missing data. The mean of the WHO bleeding scale across visits during the 24-week treatment period was summarized by treatment group using descriptive statistics. A 2-sided, 2-sample t-test was used to test for a difference in means between treatments for this endpoint. time_frame: Assessed over the 24-week study period [2]

Results

Therapeutic efficacy

Phase III: Fostamatinib achieved a stable platelet response in the 18% of patients (n=76) with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) when compared with placebo (p=0.0261). The patients observed an increased platelet count at week 24, a median of more than 100,000/µL from a baseline median of 16,000/uL. The double-blind, phase III, first FIT 1 trial, which randomised patients in a 2:1 ratio to receive either fostamatinib or placebo [1] . In the phase III FIT 2 study, the fostamatinib response rate was 18%, consistent with the phase III FIT 1 study. A stable platelet response was achieved in only one patient in the placebo group (4%) and therefore the difference between those on treatment and those on placebo did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.152). The combined dataset reveals this difference to be statistically significant (p = 0.007), including the increase in platelet count from a median of 18 500/µL of blood at baseline to more than 100 000/µL at week 24 of treatment in patients who met the primary endpoints. The consistent efficacy of fostamatinib across various clinical and treatment backgrounds was demonstrated by a statistically superior stable platelet response in the fostamatinib group versus the placebo group in all subgroup analyses: prior splenectomy or not; prior exposure to TPO agents or not; platelet counts below or above 15,000/µL of blood at baseline [3] .

Data from the FIT phase III trials (047, 048 and 049 studies) demonstrated that fostamatinib was effective for certain immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients. Additionally, the benefit was consistent across all sub-groups analysed including TPO (blood platelet production booster) experienced patients who had limited treatment options remaining [4] .

In the pooled analysis from the phase III 047 and 048 studies, stable response was reported in 18 and transient response was reported in 11 of the 101 treated patients, compared with only one stable response and no transient responses in patients receiving placebo (n = 49). The overall response rate was 29% (29/101) in fostamatinib arm and 2% (1/49) in placebo arm (p = < 0.0001) [5] .

Adverse events

Phase III: Mild or moderate adverse events (AEs), with gastrointestinal related AEs were observed most frequently, and were reversible over time. No new or unusual safety issues were reported in the randomised, double-blind, phase III FIT 1 and FIT 2 trials evaluating fostamatinib versus placebo in patients with persistent or chronic ITP [3] [1] .
