Brief summary

The purpose of this Phase II dose-ranging study is to investigate pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of various doses of ticagrelor followed by 4 weeks of twice-daily treatment in paediatric patients with sickle cell disease

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-ranging study of ticagrelor followed by a double blind, placebo-controlled extension phase in paediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Part A: Patients will be randomised 1:1 to receive one of two dosing schedules consisting of two single weight-adjusted doses of ticagrelor. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters and pharmacodynamic (PD) measurements will be determined following each dose. Platelet aggregation will be measured using the VerifyNow™ P2Y12 assay. Following these 2 single doses, all patients will receive open-label one-week treatment with ticagrelor twice daily to determine tolerability prior to randomisation into Part B. Part B: In this part patients will be randomised (2:1 ratio) to ticagrelor twice daily or placebo for a 4-week treatment phase. During the study, patients will be followed for the occurrence of vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) and for other disease manifestations such as daily pain, analgesic use and complications of SCD.

Outcome results

Primary

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve (AUC) - Part A

The PK parameter presented was derived using a model based analysis and not from a non-compartmental (NCA) analysis.

Time frame: PK measurements (up to 8 hours post-dose) are taken in conjunction with single doses at Visit 2 (Day 0) and Visit 3 (Day 7) and after repeated dosing at Visit 4 (Day 14).

Population: The PK analysis set is a subset of the safety analysis set, including all patients having at least one PK variable calculated. All patients who received at least one single dose of ticagrelor were included in the safety population (SAF) for Part A. Analysis on the SAF was based on the study medication actually received.

Assessment of AR-C124910XX Concentration - Part B

AR-C124910XX is the active metabolite of Ticagrelor

Time frame: PK measurements (up to 4 hours post-dose) are taken after 4 weeks of double blind treatment at the end of Part B.

Population: The PK analysis set is a subset of the safety analysis set, including all patients having at least one PK variable calculated. All patients who received at least one single dose of ticagrelor were included in the safety population (SAF) for Part A. Analysis on the SAF was based on the study medication actually received.
