Melanoma Clinical Trial
A Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of KRN23 in Epidermal Nevus Syndrome (ENS)
Summary
KRN23 is a fully human immunoglobulin monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to and inhibits the activity of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), leading to an increase in serum phosphorus levels. There are multiple disorders that result in unusually high circulating levels of FGF23, which in turn result in renal phosphate wasting and reduced levels of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (1,25[OH]2D). Across these disorders the clinical symptoms are similar and often include osteomalacia (and, in children, rickets), muscle weakness, fatigue, bone pain, and fractures. KRN23 has been studied in one of these disorders, X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). In single- and repeat-dose clinical studies in subjects with XLH, subcutaneous (SC) administration of KRN23 consistently increased and sustained serum phosphorus levels and tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) without a major impact on urine calcium levels or vitamin D metabolism. Positive results were also observed in a nonclinical pharmacology model of XLH. It is hypothesized that KRN23 may provide clinical benefit in this patient due to the common underlying feature in this patient and in patients with XLH - abnormally elevated FGF23 in the context of low age -adjusted serum phosphorous levels. The primary objective is to study the effect of KRN23 treatment on normalizing age-adjusted fasting serum phosphorous levels in a single pediatric patient with Epidermal Nevus Syndrome associated hypophosphatemic rickets.
Full Description
KRN23 is a fully human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to and inhibits the activity of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), leading to an increase in serum phosphorus levels. There are multiple disorders (each with a unique underlying cause) that result in unusually high circulating levels of FGF23, which in turn result in renal phosphate wasting and reduced (or aberrantly normal in relationship to elevated FGF23) levels of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (1,25[OH]2D). Across these disorders the clinical symptoms are similar and often include osteomalacia (and, in children, rickets), muscle weakness, fatigue, bone pain, and fractures. KRN23 has been studied in one of these disorders, X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). In single- and repeat-dose clinical studies in subjects with XLH, subcutaneous (SC) administration of KRN23 consistently increased and sustained serum phosphorus levels and tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) without a major impact on urine calcium levels or vitamin D metabolism. Positive results were also observed in a nonclinical pharmacology model of XLH. It is hypothesized that KRN23 may provide clinical benefit in this patient due to the common underlying feature in this patient and in patients with XLH - abnormally elevated FGF23 in the context of low age -adjusted serum phosphorous levels.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patient has confirmed ENS by physician diagnosis
Patient has confirmed FGF23 elevations in the context of low serum phosphorous < 4.1 mg/dL
Patient able to tolerate KRN23 treatment
Have a corrected serum calcium level < 10.8mg/dL
Have an eGFR >60 ml/min
Must be willing in the opinion of the investigator, to comply with study procedures and schedule
Provide written informed consent by a parent after
Exclusion Criteria:
Patient should not use CRYSVITA with Oral phosphate or active Vitamin D analogs.
Patient and investigator should not initiate CRYSVITA if Phosphorus level is within or above normal.
CRYSVITA is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment or end stage renal disease because these conditions are associated with abnormal mineral metabolism.
The use or enrollment in studies using other investigational therapies including other monoclonal antibodies
Subject and their Parent not willing or not able to give written informed consent
In the Investigators opinion, the subject may not be able to meet all the requirements for study participation
Subject has a history of hypersensitivity to KRN23 excipients that in the opinion of the investigator, places the subject at an increased risk of adverse effects
Subject has a condition that in the opinion of the investigator could present a concern for subject safety or data interpretation.
