Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Congenital antithrombin deficiency is a disorder of blood clotting. People with this condition are at a higher-than-average risk of developing abnormal blood clots. This includes thrombotic events (TEs), when a blood clot forms inside a blood vessel and blocks the flow of blood, or thromboembolic events (TEEs), when a blood clot forms in a blood vessel, breaks loose into the blood stream and blocks another vessel elsewhere. The study drug that is being tested is an antithrombin concentrate called Atenativ. Atenativ is manufactured by Octapharma and has already been approved in about 30 countries worldwide. Atenativ is recommended for prevention of thrombotic and thromboembolic events in patients with congenital antithrombin deficiency in high-risk situations such as surgery and childbirth.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 to 80 years with congenital antithrombin deficiency and a personal or family history of TEs or TEEs. For the Treatment Phase: either non-pregnant patients scheduled for elective surgical procedure(s) known to be associated with a high risk of TEs or TEEs, or pregnant patients of at least 27 weeks gestational age who are scheduled for caesarean section or delivery

What does the study involve?
Patients may participate in the Pharmacokinetic (PK) Phase and/or the Treatment Phase in any order. For any patient wishing to participate in both phases of the study, a separate screening visit is required for each phase, including separate informed consent, after which the patient may be re-enrolled in the study. Results will be collected from patients who perform either the PK Phase, the Treatment Phase, or both phases. Each patient may only participate in the Treatment Phase for one surgery or delivery. Screening will be performed between 28 days and 1 day prior to patients entering the PK Phase or surgical patients entering the Treatment Phase. For pregnant women entering the Treatment Phase, screening will be performed 28 ± 3 days prior to the due date or 14 ± 3 days prior to planned caesarean section. For the PK Phase, measurement of antithrombin activity and antithrombin antigen will be performed at a central laboratory. All other measurements will be performed at the study sites’ local laboratories. Patients are followed up for a maximum of 30 days after the first Atenativ treatment.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Antithrombin concentrate is recommended for the prevention of abnormal clotting events in patients with congenital antithrombin deficiency in high-risk situations such as surgery and delivery. Patients taking part in this study will be observed and monitored very closely. There is no guarantee that patients will have any direct medical benefits by taking part in this research study, but support providing information about the study drug, Atenativ, which may have a future benefit to others. There are treatment alternatives to Atenativ. These include other antithrombin concentrates and low molecular weight heparin.
Any therapy may have unwanted or adverse effects. In people who have taken medications that are made from human blood, such as Atenativ, the following have been reported occasionally: allergic or hypersensitivity reactions, for example, swelling of eyes, face or tongue, burning and stinging at the injection site, fever, chills, urticaria (hives), nausea, vomiting, dyspnea or breathlessness, headache, dizziness, vertigo, wheezing, changes in blood pressure, pounding heart, lethargy, restlessness, back pain, sweating, flushing, tingling or even shock. However, Atenativ is registered in 30 countries for around 40 years, and experience in patients, including pregnant women, has shown that Atenativ is considered a well-tolerated antithrombin concentrate.

Participant information sheet Not available in web format
Scientific titleA multicentre, prospective, open-label, uncontrolled Phase III study to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of Atenativ in patients with congenital antithrombin deficiency undergoing surgery or delivery
Study acronymATN-106
Study objectivesNo hypothesis testing due to rare disease and a small patient number.

This study assesses the incidence of the composite of thrombotic events (TEs) and thromboembolic events (TEEs) in patients with congenital antithrombin deficiency under cover of Atenativ for surgical procedures or parturition.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 25/01/2022, Georgetown University IRB (SW104 Medical Dental Building, 3900 Reservoir Road, NW Washington, DC 20057, USA; +1 (0)202 687 1506; irboard@georgetown.edu), ref: STUDY 00004624
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCongenital antithrombin deficiency
InterventionThe study will consist of two phases:

A Pharmacokinetic (PK) Phase to assess the PK of Atenativ following a single infusion in non-pregnant patients with congenital antithrombin deficiency

A Treatment Phase to determine the efficacy and safety of Atenativ in:
1. Elective surgical procedures known to be associated with a high risk for occurrence of TEs and TEEs in non-pregnant surgical patients
2. Pregnant patients scheduled for caesarean section or delivery

Patients may participate in the PK Phase and/or the Treatment Phase in any order. Results will be collected from patients who perform either the PK Phase, the Treatment Phase, or both phases. Each patient may only participate in the Treatment Phase for one surgery or delivery. The dosing, frequency of IMP administration and duration of treatment varies from subject to subject. Only for the PK Phase is a single dose of 60 IU/kg bw defined.
