Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of 5 repeated intravenous administrations of PRS-080#022-DP at 4 and 8 mg/kg BW in anemic stage 5 CKD patients requiring hemodialysis.; Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study are: - to determine the pharmacokinetics of PRS-080#022-DP associated with 5 repeated administrations - to evaluate the effect of 5 repeated PRS-080#022-DP administrations on plasma Hb concentrations - to evaluate the effect of 5 repeated PRS-080#022-DP administrations on pharmacodynamic parameters including serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), reticulocyte hemoglobin (RetHb), and reticulocyte count (Ret) - to evaluate the effect of 5 repeated PRS-080#022-DP administrations on hepcidin plasma levels - to collect data on immunogenicity associated with 5 repeated PRS-080#022-DP administrations ; Primary end point(s): Adverse events: Pre-treatment emergent event, treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse drug reactions, unexpected adverse drug reactions, SUSARs Biochemistry: sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate, iron, aspartate-amino-transferase, alanine-amino-transferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl-transferase, creatine-phosphokinase, cholesterol, blood urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, albumin, high sensitivity c-reactive protein, Vitamin B12, folate. Coagulation: prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin-time test. Body temperature, physical findings, electrocardiogram, and other observations related to safety Vital signs: systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Primary endpoints will be monitored during the entire study period

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Immunogenicity: anti-drug antibodies Pharmacokinetics (from total and free PRS-080#22-DP): Cmax (measured maximum concentration), Ctrough (plasma concentration immediately before the drug infusion), tmax (time of observed maximum concentration), lambda z (terminal rate constant) after the very last administration, t½ (terminal half-life, from lambda z after the very last administration Pharmacodynamics: iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin in blood serum; reticulocyte hemoglobin, reticulocyte count in whole blood; hepcidin concentration in blood plasma; hemoglobin concentration Hematology: hematocrit, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, platelet blood count ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary endpoints will be monitored during the entire study period
