Methods: The investigators performed a randomized, parallel controlled study of thalidomide as a therapy for recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding due to vascular malformation. Patients with at least six episodes of bleeding in the prior year due to vascular malformation were randomly grouped, prescribed a four-month regimen of either 25 mg of thalidomide or 100 mg of iron orally four times daily, and monitored for at least one year. The primary end point was defined as the patients whose rebleeds decreased from baseline by ≥ 50% at 12 months and the cessation of bleeding. Rebleeding was defined based on a positive fecal occult blood test (FOBT) (monoclonal colloidal gold color technology) at any visit after treatment. Secondary outcomes included the participants dependent on blood transfusions and changes from baseline in transfused packed red cell units, bleeding episodes, bleeding durations, and hemoglobin levels at 12 months. Statistical significance was defined at P \< 0.05. | Protocol Description:
This is an exploratory, randomized, parallel controlled study of thalidomide for recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding from vascular malformations. Informed consent was taken from all subjects and the Institute Ethics Committee approved the study protocol. All procedures were in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was supported by no pharmaceutical funding.
Study design and Intervention:
From Nov. 2004 to Nov. 2007, patients with repeated episodes of chronic gastro-intestinal bleeding due to vascular malformations identified by oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, capsule endoscope or double-balloon endoscope were enrolled (according our enrollment criteria).
The patients were randomly assigned to receive a four-month course of either 25 mg of thalidomide or 100mg iron orally at daily time 6 a.m.,12 noon,6 p.m. and 10 p.m., respectively.
Randomization was performed through the proc plan procedure of Statistical Analysis Software (SAS), using the method of randomly permuted blocks of 4. Within each block, the number of patients allocated to each of the two treatments was equal. Each patient who met the inclusion criteria was consecutively assigned a random number in chronological order, which allocated him or her to one of the treatment groups. A blinded research nurse supervised patient randomization and drug administration.
In the case of an adverse event, the study medication was temporarily or permanently discontinued based on subject inclination and toxicity intolerance. Concomitant therapies, such as blood transfusions and other symptomatic treatments like iron supplementation, were performed in both groups as necessary during the four-month treatment and subsequent follow-up periods. Blood transfusion was indicated and recorded when the hemoglobin (Hb) level reached \< 7.0 g/dl. Red-cell transfusions were administered according to patient Hb level as follows: 2 units were administered for 6.1 g/dl ≥ Hb ≤ 7.0 g/dl, 3 units for 5.1 g/dl ≥ Hb ≤ 6.0 g/dl, and 4 units for Hb \< 5.0 g/dl. Iron was provided for patients with 7.0 g/dl ≥ Hb ≤ 11.0 g/dl. After the four-month treatment course, all patients discontinued study medications except for cases where symptomatic treatments were necessary as described above.
Assessment of response and adverse events:
The primary end point was defined as the patients whose rebleeds decreased from baseline by ≥ 50% at 12 months and the cessation of bleeding. Rebleeding was defined based on a positive fecal occult blood test (FOBT) (monoclonal colloidal gold color technology) at any visit after treatment. Secondary outcomes included the participants dependent on blood transfusions and changes from baseline in transfused packed red cell units, bleeding episodes, bleeding durations, and hemoglobin levels at 12 months.
Adverse events included any unfavorable change in health, including abnormal laboratory findings, during the study or follow-up period.
Evaluation of Patients and Follow-up:
* Certified research nurses collected information on the demographics and medical and social histories of all patients enrolled in the study.
* After screening and baseline evaluations, the patients were closely monitored in the hospital for at least one week. They were then followed twice monthly during the four-mouth course of treatment and once a month thereafter.
* Clinical follow-up was performed by qualified doctors. At all visits, the bleeding-related parameters (number and duration), a physical examination was performed and laboratory values were obtained for FOBT, complete blood counts, serum chemistries, and hepatic and renal function. Neuropathy and other adverse events were also assessed.
* Patients were advised to refrain from any other non-prescribed medicines, especially rebleeding-related medications such as aspirin, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), anti-platelet drugs, anticoagulants, and Chinese medications (with salicylates), gingko, or Echinacea.
Measurement of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in Sera:
Laboratory assays for VEGF were performed at baseline and after the four-month treatment course in the thalidomide group, by a technician blinded to the assignment and final assessment. Three milliliters of serum of peripheral venous blood samples were centrifuged (3000 r/min at 4°C, 10 min), extracted, separated into freezing tubes, and stored at -70°C for no more than 4 months. Plasma VEGF levels (in pg/ml) were determined in duplicate using sandwich ELISA kits (R\&D Systems, USA) in a laboratory of the Shanghai Research Institute of Digestive Disease. Samples from each patient were batch-tested in a single run. For quality control, all samples were retested two more times in a subsequent run to confirm the results of the first run.
Statistical Analysis:
To our knowledge, no similar such study has previously been performed, and we were thus unable to refer to published studies to determine our samples. To this end, we performed an unpublished preliminary study. Response in the iron-control group and thalidomide group reached 10% and 80%, due to loose inclusion criteria (bleeding history was not restricted). For this study, we estimated that the primary outcome (the proportion of subjects whose number of yearly bleeds had decreased by ≥ 50%) would occur in 10% of the control group and 80% of the thalidomide group patients. An equally divided sample of 11 subjects was deemed sufficient for detecting the primary end point, with a type I error (two-sided) of 5% and a power of 90%. Assuming a 10% volunteer attrition rate to follow-up, we established a target sample size of 13 per group (calculated with nquery advisor software 5.0).
Analyses of the responses and adverse events were performed on all registered patients according to the intention-to-treat principle. Statistical analysis was performed by a blinded biostatistician with the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) 13.0 software package. We simultaneously analyzed the primary endpoint of the full analysis set (FAS) and per protocol set (PPS). Continuous variables were compared using a two-sample independent t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Categorical variables were compared using the chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests. A paired t-test was employed to compare differences in plasma VEGF levels before and after thalidomide treatment. The Breslow-Day test was used to test for the heterogeneity of treatment effects across strata. All reported P-values are two-sided. Data are reported as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median (range) for continuous variables and number (%) for categorical variables. Since adjustments to the control group were minimal, we also reported point estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). For all outcomes, a P-value of \< 0.05 was considered statistically significant. | Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding Angiodysplasia Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia Thalidomide | vascular malformation gastrointestinal bleeding thalidomide | null | 2 | arm 1: None arm 2: None | [

Anastrozole is a form of hormonal therapy which is part of the standard treatment for hormone sensitive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. This clinical model is being used to evaluate the biologic effects of this drug on a specific molecular pathway called the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. | Several clinical models are being explored for use in the phase I/II evaluation of targeted therapies for breast cancer. Biological markers can be measured in early stage invasive cancers in a presurgical model involving a short term intervention. In this model, women with newly diagnosed early invasive breast cancer receive a study drug during the interval between diagnostic breast biopsy and surgical resection. Tumor tissue obtained from the biopsy and surgical specimens are used to measure pre and post treatment molecular markers, respectively. The main advantages of this model include the ability to obtain direct information on molecular response in tumor tissue and elucidate drug mechanisms of action, the large patient population to draw from with early stage breast cancer, and the lack of unnecessary invasive procedures.
We plan to conduct a pilot study of 10 postmenopausal women with newly diagnosed estrogen receptor (ER) positive invasive or non invasive breast cancer who will receive oral anastrozole 1mg daily for two weeks in the interval between diagnostic breast biopsy and definitive breast surgery. Patients will be identified by the breast surgeon or mammographer performing the breast biopsy. Patients with histologically confirmed ER+ invasive or non invasive breast cancer will be recruited by the medical oncologist and will start anastrozole two weeks prior to their scheduled surgery. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of this presurgical model for evaluating targeted therapies for breast cancer. Secondary endpoints include changes in tissue levels of the proliferation marker Ki67 and proteins involved in PI3K/AKT signaling. | Invasive Breast Cancer | Postmenopausal women ER+ Estrogen positive PR+ Progesterone positive | null | 1 | arm 1: 1mg daily for two weeks in the interval between diagnostic breast biopsy and definitive breast surgery. | [

] | 27 | NON_RANDOMIZED | SEQUENTIAL | 1PREVENTION | 0NONE | false | 0ALL | false | The purpose of this study is to explore a treatment that potentially enhances the delivery of chemotherapy to tumors in participants with superficial bladder cancer. The investigational medication to be studied is an enzyme called ChemophaseTM (recombinant human hyaluronidase, rHuPH20). Chemophase is being specifically developed for use with other anticancer drug to increase the local penetration of the anticancer drug for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. In this study, Chemophase will be given in combination with mitomycin C directly into the bladder. Mitomycin C is an anti-tumor drug that is commonly used to treat superficial bladder cancer. It is envisioned that Chemophase with mitomycin C may potentially increase the local penetration of mitomycin C into remaining cancer cells following surgery to treat superficial bladder cancer. | The primary objectives of this study are to:
1. determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of escalating doses of Chemophase in combination with mitomycin (mitomycin C, MMC) administered as weekly intravesical instillations for five weeks, and
2. establish the dose of Chemophase with MMC recommended for future studies.
The secondary objectives of this study are to:
1. assess the pharmacokinetics of intravesical administration of MMC alone and in combination with intravesical administration of Chemophase,
2. for those participants treated at the MTD, assess the safety and tolerability of intravesical administration of MMC with Chemophase over up to 7 additional maintenance treatments every 3 months following the initial six weekly instillations, and
3. observe participants for any preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity of MMC and Chemophase when combined.
Study participants will receive six weekly study treatments administered intravesically (at Weeks 1 through 6) followed by post-treatment evaluations, at Weeks 8 and 12. The 12 participants treated at MTD will continue to receive combination therapy every three months until the end of Year 2 or until the time of documented tumor recurrence, whichever occurs first. For other participants, long-term follow-up after Week 12 will consist of disease monitoring of participants by telephone and will be performed every three months beginning three months after last study treatment for two years and then every six months thereafter, until bladder tumor recurrence. | Bladder Cancer | Non-invasive bladder cancer Chemophase Intravesical administration Superficial Bladder Cancer | Prot_000.pdf:

Primary
Objectives
•
Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities
(DLTs) of escalating doses of Chemophase in combination with mitomycin
(mitomycin C, MMC) administered as weekly intravesical ins tillations for
five weeks
•
Establish the dose of Chemophase with MMC recommended for future
studies
Secondary
Objectives
•
Assess the pharmacokinetics of intravesical administration of MMC alone
and in combination with intravesical administration of Chemophase
•
For those patients treated at the MTD, assess the safety and tolerability of
intravesical administration of MMC with Chemophase over up to 7
additional maintenance treatments every 3 months following the initial six
weekly instillations.
•
Observe patients for any preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity of
MMC and Chemophase when combined
Study Design
Phase I-IIa, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation, safety, tolerability and
pharmacokinetics study. Long-term follow-up information will be collected to
help make a preliminary assessment of possible anti-tumor activity.
Study
Medications
• Chemophase (hyaluronidase, human recombinant; rHuPH20)
• Mitomycin (Mitomycin C, MMC)
Duration
Study patients will receive six (6) weekly study treatments (at Weeks 1
through 6) followed by post-treatment evaluations, at Weeks 8 and 12. The 12
patients treated at MTD will continue to receive combination therapy every
three months until the end of Year 2 or until the time of documented tumor
recurrence, whichever occurs first. For other patients, long-term follow-up
after Week 12 will consist of disease monitoring of patients by telephone and
will be performed every three (3) months beginning three months after last
study treatment for two years following day 1 or until bladder tumor
recurrence, whichever occurs first.

Planned Total
Sample Size
Up to 36 evaluable patients will be enrolled. It is anticipated that no more than
a total of 44 patients will need to be enrolled. An evaluable patient is one who
receives all protocol-specified six weekly intravesical treatments with at least a
90-minute retention and has had MMC plasma concentration determinations
and safety assessments adequate for the determination of tolerability. Patients
not meeting these criteria, including those withdrawn prematurely for reasons
other than toxicity, will be replaced. Groups of either 3 or 6 patients will
participate in each of the five individual dose cohorts in the dose escalation
phase of the study. Once the MTD has been established, 6 additional evaluable
patients will be enrolled at the MTD dose level, yielding a total of 12 evaluable
patients at MTD upon which to confirm safety and tolerability of the MTD
regimen.

A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as either (a) plasma MMC
concentration ≥ 100 ng/mL, (b) National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common
Terminology Criteria (CTC) (Version 3 or current version) AE Grade 3 or
higher toxicity, or (c) new, treatment-emergent diagnosis of bladder fibrosis.
Each intravesical administration will remain in the bladder for two hours after
instillation. In each cohort, at Week 1 patients will receive MMC 40 mg alone
(without Chemophase) in 20 mL of sterile water. If no DLT is observed prior
to Week 2, this first treatment will be followed by five weekly intravesical
instillations (at Weeks 2 through 6) of Chemophase at the dose specified by the
assigned cohort followed by MMC 40 mg in 20 mL of sterile water.
All 3 patients within a given cohort may begin treatment simultaneously. The
next higher dose cohort can be immediately opened for patient enrollment if, at
the time all 3 patients in a given cohort have completed the fourth (4th)
instillation of MMC (i.e., third instillation of MMC plus Chemophase), there
is:
•
no NCI CTC adverse event Grade 2 or higher toxicity,
•
no MMC plasma concentration ≥ 100 ng/mL, and
•
no new, treatment-emergent, diagnosis of bladder fibrosis.
Note that an NCI CTC adverse event Grade 2 toxicity will delay opening the
next higher dose cohort to enrollment until safety data are reviewed from all
six
Because this study is being conducted at more than one study center, the
enrollment of patients, assignment to cohorts, and opening of each sequential
cohort will be controlled centrally for all study centers by Halozyme. Each
time a new patient is consented for the study, the study center must
weekly instillations for all 3 patients in that cohort.

Data Analysis
This is a Phase I-IIa study of Chemophase in humans, and is not powered for
formal statistical comparisons. The sample size of 3 to 6 patients per dose
cohort is standard for the determination of safety and tolerability in many
initial c linical trials for oncology indications. Once the MTD has been
established, 6 additional evaluable patients will be enrolled at the MTD dose
level, yielding a total of 12 evaluable patients at MTD upon which to confirm
safety and tolerability of the MTD regimen. It is believed that 12 patients will
provide an adequate sample size to establish the tolerability of this dose
regimen for subsequent clinical trials and possibly provide a preliminary
estimate of anti-tumor activity.
The primary endpoint in this study is the rate of toxicities observed with the
combination of Chemophase and MMC. The primary statistical analysis will
consist of point estimates and the 95% confidence intervals constructed around
the point estimates. All safety data will be examined, such as adverse event s
(including overall incidence by treatment group), physical examination
findings and vital signs, laboratory data, plasma MMC concentration, and
ECGs. Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize all safety variables. The
MTD will be determined based on DLTs.
Based on the long-term follow-up monitoring, the data will be assessed for the
median time to tumor recurrence, and the one-year, two-year, etc. rate of
recurrence. Recurrences will be characterized with regard to the number of
tumors, TNM stage, and grading. Information on tumor progression will be
summarized. The data collected on the urine biomarker, comparing baseline to
Week 8 values, will be summarized.
PK
Assessments
Blood samples for assay of rHuPH20 (Weeks 2 & 6: predose and 1, 2, and 3
hrs postdose), MMC (Weeks 1, 2, 5 & 6: predose and 1, 2, and 3 hrs postdose)
and neutralizing antibodies to rHuPH20 (Weeks 1 & 6; will only analyze
Week 1 if Week 6 assay is positive).

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
4.1.
Introduction to Hyaluronidases, rHuPH20, and Chemophase
Mammalian hyaluronidase preparations differing in source, species, and manufacturing
process have been the subject of multiple investigations and regulatory approvals in
Europe, the United States, and Asia. The extent of human administration of these
products in the U.S. has been estimated to be in the tens of millions of patients.
Additionally, patients have been treated with other regulatory-approved preparations of
hyaluronidase in Europe and Asia. Collectively, this usage spans more than 50 years of
clinical history in humans.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contracted a review of the efficacy and
safety of several hyaluronidase drug products through a program known as the Drug
Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI). The studies were conducted by the National
Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council. The DESI review findings
published in the Federal Register (September 23, 1970; 35(185):14800-1) established that
hyaluronidase injection was “effective” for the following indications:
For use as an adjunct to increase the absorption and dispersion of other
injected drugs; for hypodermoclysis; as an adjunct in subcutaneous
urography; for improving the resorption of radiopaque agents.
The DESI review also concluded that hyaluronidase was “probably effective” for
the following indications:
As an aid in retrobulbar and cone injection infiltrative anesthesia in
ocular surgery; as an adjunct in reducing painful swelling by resorption
of locally accumulated fluid; for hastening the onset of action and
diffuseability of local anesthetics; in minimizing tumefaction during
surgery; and for reducing postoperative edema and ecchymosis.
The hyaluronidase drugs included in the DESI reviews included injectable hyaluronidase
preparation derived from bovine testes. Replacing animal-derived slaughterhouse
products with recombinant human biotechnology-developed materials potentially
alleviates risks associated with animal pathogens, transmissible spongiform
encephalopathies, and allergy and immunogenicity to foreign proteins.

Chemophase is a formulation that contains a highly purified human hyaluronidase,
rHuPH20, which is a glycoprotein enzyme generated by recombinant DNA technology.
PH20 is a neutral pH-active hyaluronidase enzyme that degrades hyaluronan under
physiologic conditions, but is normally locked on the plasma membrane through a
glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) moiety anchor. Therefore, Halozyme developed a
recombinant soluble GPI-anchor deletion mutant form of the human PH20 hyaluronidase
(rHuPH20) that, in non-human primates, does not elicit gross or histologic toxicity,
neutralizing antibodies, or inflammatory responses at the site of injection across a three-
log therapeutic dose range.
rHuPH20is a 447-amino acid single chain polypeptide with N-linked and O-linked glycan
structures. rHuPH20is synthesized in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that have been
transfected with a plasmid containing the DNA sequence encoding the GPI-anchor
deleted human PH20 hyaluronidase. The protein is purified through a series of
chromatographic steps that results in a purified protein with high specific activity.
rHuPH20 is up to 100-times more pure than slaughterhouse-derived hyaluronidases based
on specific activity. rHuPH20 degrades hyaluronan by hydrolysis of the β-1,4 linkage
between the C1 position of N-acetyl glucosamine and the C4 position of glucuronic acid.
4.2.
Background on Non-Muscular-Invasive Bladder Carcinoma
Non-muscular-invasive transitional bladder carcinomas are those tumors that have not
infiltrated beyond the lamina propria, and consist of American Joint Committee on
Cancer (AJCC) TNM classifications Ta (non-invasive papillary tumor confined to the
urothelium), T1 (tumor penetrating the below the basement membrane and infiltrating the
lamina propria subepithelial connective tissue), and Tis (Cis, carcinoma in situ, “flat
tumor”) (see Appendix A). The histology of bladder carcinoma is often characterized as
Grade 1 ( low, or well differentiated), Grade 2 (intermediate, or moderately
differentiated), and Grade 3 (high, or poorly differentiated).
Non-muscular-invasive bladder carcinoma has a high rate of tumor recurrence within the
bladder, which requires repetition of surgery and medical therapy. The rate of recurrence
of superficial (non-muscular-invasive) bladder cancer is reported to range from 40% to
85% [1]. The FDA’s Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee concluded in 1988 that as a
general rule, over 50% of recurring patients will have recurrence within the first year [2].
The American Urologic Association (AUA) Bladder Cancer Guidelines Panel concluded
in 1999 that intravesical treatment-related reductions in the probability of recurrence
were detected within the first year of observation in most studies and the observed
reductions were carried forward into subsequent years [3]. With tumor recurrence comes
an increased risk of tumor progression and the possibility of medical/surgical treatment
complications and anesthesia complications and their effect on t he patient’s quality of
life.
Most non-muscular-invasive bladder cancers are initially treated with transurethral
surgical resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), and less commonly with fulguration

and/or laser therapy. Following resection, adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy or
immunotherapy is commonly used to prevent recurrences and eradicate residual disease.
The most commonly administered intravesical therapies are bacillus Calmette-Guérin
(BCG) and mitomycin (Mitomycin C, MMC). Other intravesical agents include thiotepa,
doxorubicin, epirubicin, valrubicin, and interferon.
Both intravesical BCG and intravesical MMC following TURBT have been shown in
randomized clinical trials to statistically reduce the rate of tumor recurrence when
compared to TURBT alone [3]. For patients with established bladder cancer of any grade,
Stage Ta or T1, with or without Tis, who have not had prior intravesical therapy, the
AUA includes a “Guideline” of “Intravesical instillation of either BCG or mitomycin is
recommended for treatment of CIS and for treatment after endoscopic removal of T1
tumors and high-grade Ta tumors” [3]. Additionally, the AUA includes an “Option” of
“Adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy is an option for treatment after
endoscopic removal of low-grade Ta bladder cancers.” Thus, both BCG and MMC have
a role in the intravesical therapy of patients. However, there remains a substantial rate to
tumor recurrence after intravesical therapy, and therefore an unmet medical need for
therapy that is safe and more effective in preventing tumor recurrences and also tumor
progression.
BCG is widely used for intravesical immunotherapy, and has become first-line treatment
for Stage Tis. The most serious side effect of BCG is sepsis, and the most common side
effects are cystitis and hematuria. BCG may cause irritative voiding symptoms in about
two-thirds of patients, and flu-like symptoms/systemic side effects in about one quarter of
patients [3].
MMC is a purple antibiotic isolated from the broth of Streptomyces caespitosus and was
initially investigated as an antibiotic. Later found to selectively inhibit the synthesis of
DNA as an alkylating agent, MMC was studied as an anti-tumor agent. The AUA
Bladder Cancer Guidelines Panel found that based on randomized clinical trials,
intravesical MMC conferred about a 15% reduction in tumor recurrence compared to
TURBT alone [3]. Despite the clinical trial data supporting the safety and effectiveness of
MMC for bladder carcinoma, MMC has not been approved by the United States FDA for
intravesical therapy of bladder cancer. The approved product label in the U.S. (see
Appendix C) states that “Mitomycin for Injection is not recommended as single-agent,
primary therapy. It has been shown to be useful in the therapy of disseminated
adenocarcinoma of the stomach or pancreas in proven combinations with other approved
chemotherapeutic agents and as palliative treatment when other modalities have failed.”
When used to treat bladder carcinoma in the U.S., MMC is typically administered by
intravesical instillation at doses of 20 to 40 mg at a concentration of 1-2 mg/ml in a f inal
volume of 20 to 40 ml for a residence time of 1 to 2 hours.
MMC is approved for use in Canada (see Appendix D) and the United Kingdom
(see Appendix E) as a single agent “as topical therapy for superficial (no invasion
beyond the lamina propria) transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Efficacy
has been demonstrated both in patients who have had no prior intravesical chemotherapy

and in those who have failed such therapy with thiotepa and other neoplastic agents.”
The approved dose is 20 to 40 mg in 30 to 60 mL of sterile water given intravesically
once weekly for up t o eight weeks. Patients are advised to abstain from liquids for 12
hours prior to therapy. The patient is catheterized, the bladder is drained, and MMC is
instilled. The solution should be retained for two hours, during which time the patient
may rotate positions every 15 minutes to promote maximum area of contact in the
bladder. The approved dose in the U.K. for treatment of tumors is 20 to 40 mg dissolved
in 20 t o 40 [mL, sic] of diluent weekly or three times a week for a total of 20 doses.
Mitomycin is also approved in the U.K. for prevention of recurrent superficial bladder
tumors, with various doses having been used, including 20 mg in 20 mL of diluent every
two weeks and 40 mg in 40 mL of diluent monthly or three monthly.
Myelosuppression is the major dose-limiting toxicity after intravenous MMC
administration, and may be cumulative, occurring any time within eight weeks of onset of
therapy, often with a late onset at 3 to 4 weeks, with recovery by 8 to 10 weeks. With a
moderately high molecular weight of 329 daltons, MMC is not well absorbed through the
bladder urothelium and therefore the risk of myelosuppression is very low.
Myelosuppression has not been noted with intravesical administration [4]. In 55 patients
treated with doses of 20 t o 40 mg of MMC by intravesical instillation, serial plasma
samples collected during and 30 minutes after therapy contained no detectable MMC at
an assay limit of 10 t o 100 ng/mL [5]. Based on data from intravenous administration, a
serum MMC concentration of 400 ng/mL has been cited as predictive of
myelosuppression [6]. Dalton et al. studied the pharmacokinetics of MMC in 10 patients
after TURBT given six weekly instillations of 20 mg MMC in 40 mL water and found
that at the first cycle (Treatment 1), maximal plasma concentrations of MMC during and
up to four hours after instillation averaged 43 ng/mL (range 2.1 to 180.5 ng/mL) [7]. The
concentrations measured at the subsequent Treatments 2, 4, and 6 were at least four-fold
lower than those in Treatment 1 and in most cases were below the detection limit of
0.5 ng/mL. Thus, plasma levels were well below the 400 ng/mL level known to be
predictive of myelosuppression, and MMC absorption in subsequent treatments was less
than during the first treatment.
Intravesical MMC may cause irritative voiding symptoms (e.g., dysuria,
frequency/nocturia) in about 35% to 42% of patients, hematuria in about 16%, and skin
rash in about 13% as the most common side effects [3]. Bladder fibrosis with a reduction
in bladder capacity is an uncommon but known complication of generally long-term
intravesical MMC therapy, the incidence of which appears to correlate directly with the
cumulative MMC dose and correlate inversely with the time interval between a second
tumor resection and the first MMC instillation [8].
4.3.
Rationale for Use of Chemophase in Bladder Cancer
Chemophase (recombinant human hyaluronidase, rHuPH20) is being developed as a
novel chemoadjuvant to enhance the delivery of chemotherapy to tumors in patients with
various solid tumor malignancies (e.g., bladder, breast, colon, lung, and prostate) that
accumulate hyaluronan (also known as hyaluronic acid). Clinical trials of animal-derived,
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.
Protocol HZ2-05-01
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 20 of 89
Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
bovine hyaluronidase PH20 in hundreds of patients have shown promise in enhancing
chemotherapy regimens using adjunctive hyaluronidase in previously chemo-refractory
patients. However, the animal-derived hyaluronidases have been impaired by
immunologic limitations upon repeat administration.
Chemophase (recombinant human hyaluronidase) Solution for Intravesical Instillation is
being specifically developed for use as an adjuvant with MMC in non-muscular-invasive
bladder carcinoma following TURBT. It is envisioned that the Chemophase product
would be administered with MMC as an adjuvant to increase the local penetration of
MMC into residual malignant disease following TURBT. By reducing tumor recurrence
rates, Chemophase adjuvant therapy with MMC could provide clinical benefit for patients
by limiting repeated surgical resections and possible complications from medical and
surgical treatment and anesthesia. Furthermore, reduced recurrence rates may
conceivably limit the progression of disease such that the need for cystectomy or
systemic chemotherapy may be delayed or eliminated.
Nonclinical pharmacology studies have shown that rHuPH20 enhances the dispersion of
co-administered molecules up to 200 nm in diameter in a dose-dependent fashion,
decreasing in relation to the increasing size of co-administered molecules, and rHuPH20
increases hydraulic conductivity more than ten-fold. Application of rHuPH20 to T24
human bladder tumor cells in vitro effectively removes pericellular hyaluronan and
allows direct contact with tumor cell membranes, an effect confirmed to be due to
degradation of hyaluronan, which rapidly regenerated upon removal of rHuPH20 from
the culture media. Incubation with rHuPH20 dramatically increased the doxorubicin
penetration into T24 bladder cancer multicellular tumor spheroid cores. rHuPH20
induced a dose-dependent, up t o 2.5-fold change in the IC50 for MMC in T24 bladder
cancer cell monolayers, and a 7.8-fold change in IC50 for spheroids, thereby increasing
the sensitization of bladder tumor aggregates to MMC by increasing the penetration into
the inner cellular layers.
Application of rHuPH20 to human osteosarcoma orthotopic xenograft models resulted in
a significant reduction in tumor interstitial fluid pressure within one hour of
administration. As increased interstitial fluid pressure is a key factor limiting bulk fluid
flow in solid tumors, it is reasonable to conclude that rHuPH20 warrants testing as an
adjunct to chemotherapy agents to increase the therapeutic index of those agents.
Three nonclinical toxicology studies have been conducted to assess the toxicity of
co-administration of rHuPH20 with MMC. A GLP study in 60 rats of the acute
intravenous administration of MMC and rHuPH20 found transient slight decreases in the
weight in female animals receiving rHuPH20, but no overt toxicity following the
administration of rHuPH20 alone or in combination with MMC at any dose level. A GLP
study in 60 rats of the local tolerance of repeated exposure to intravesical MMC and
rHuPH20 found that six weekly intravesical instillations of rHuPH20 alone at 6,000 units
and MMC 0.4 mg (2 mg/mL) combined with rHuPH20 at dose levels of 0, 60, 600, and
6,000 units were well tolerated and no toxicity was observed. A GLP study in 48 New
Zealand white rabbits of the tolerance of a single intravesical instillation of MMC

Page 21 of 89
Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
(8 mg/animal) and rHuPH20 (4,000, 40,000 and 160,000 units/animal) found the study
drug treatment well-tolerated without evidence of test article-related toxicity. In addition,
a GLP study in s ix rhesus monkeys of the local tolerance of repeated exposure to
intravesical rHuPH20 alone (without MMC) found no toxicity.
As an adjuvant to intravesically administered MMC, animal-derived, bovine
hyaluronidase has been previously studied in clinical trials in at least 43 patients with
bladder carcinoma. The rationale for the adjuvant use of PH20 in this setting is that the
pharmacologic activity of hyaluronidase as a spreading agent could increase the
penetration of MMC into residual hya luronan-rich bladder tumors, thereby increasing the
effectiveness of MMC in killing residual malignant cells and reducing the risk of tumor
recurrence.
In 1986, Maier and Baumgartner published a series of 20 patients undergoing TURBT or
multiple transurethral biopsies receiving a single dose of 20 mg intravesical MMC in
20 mL distilled water, 10 of whom received intravesical bovine hyaluronidase 200,000
units added to the dissolved MMC [9]. Serum levels of MMC were assayed at 30 and
60 minutes after instillation and found to range from < 1 t o 31.5 ng/mL. The systemic
absorption of MMC was not affected by hyaluronidase. The mean MMC concentrations
at 30 minutes were 14.2 ± 8.4 ng/mL for MMC alone and 13.4 ± 6.5 ng/mL for MMC
with hyaluronidase. The respective mean concentrations at 60 minutes were
10.9 ± 7.1 ng/mL and 10.0 ± 6.4 ng/ mL. The highest serum level overall, 31.5 ng/mL,
was measured in a patient not given hyaluronidase. Thus, MMC concentrations in this
study remained below one tenth of 400 ng/mL, the critical systemic level that is believed
to be predictive of myelosuppression [6]. This study concluded that hyaluronidase at a
dose of 200,000 units does not enhance the systemic absorption of MMC given as a
perioperative intravesical instillation.
In 1989, Maier and Baumgartner published a larger, double-blind, randomized trial of 56
patients who had undergone TURBT and were randomized equally to multiple doses of
either intravesical MMC 20 mg in 20 mL or the same dose of MMC plus 200,000 units of
bovine hyaluronidase [10]. Twenty patients were Stage Ta, 27 were T1, and nine were
T2. Twenty-nine patients were Grade 1, 22 were Grade 2, and five were Grade 3. Thirty-
one patients were treated for primary tumors and 25 for recurrences. The treatment
groups were comparable statistically. Intravesical instillations were started approximately
one week after TURBT and given every two weeks for the first six months, followed by
every four weeks until the end of two years (total of about 30 instillations per patient).
Cystoscopy with lavage cytology follow-up was scheduled every three months for the
first two years, and then biannually thereafter.
Of the 28 patients treated with MMC alone (who received a total of 788 instillations),
five (17.8%) had side effects, including four with cystitis and one with skin rash. Of the
28 patients treated with MMC and hyaluronidase (who received a total of 750
instillations), four (14.2%) had side effects, including three with cystitis and one with
skin rash. There was no significant alteration in white blood count during therapy.

A total of 32.1% (9/28) of MMC monotherapy patients had recurrent tumors over a
median observation period of 21.1 months, compared to 7.1% (2/28) of MMC plus
hyaluronidase patients over a median observation of 20.2 months (p < 0.05). The nine
tumor recurrences in the MMC monotherapy group were detected at a mean of 11 months
(range 6 to 24 months) compared to a mean of 13 months (6 and 20 months) for the two
recurrences for MMC plus hyaluronidase. The nine MMC monotherapy recurrences were
the same stage and grade as the primary tumor for four patients, downstaged for three,
and upstaged for two. Both recurrences in the MMC plus hyaluronidase group were
downstaged. This study, which consisted of a large number of exposures (about 30 per
patient) over a relatively long duration (two years), concluded a significant additive
benefit of hyaluronidase when given with MMC for the prevention of recurrent bladder
tumors without an increase in adverse effects.
In 1992, Hobarth, Maier and Marberger published long-term follow-up of 43 patients
undergoing TURBT of Ta-T1 bladder tumors treated with intravesical bovine
hyaluronidase plus MMC [11]. Twenty-four patients were Stage T1 and 19 were Stage
Ta. Twenty-eight patients were Grade 1, 14 were Grade 2, and one was Grade 3. Thirty-
seven patients had primary tumors and six had recurrent tumors. Beginning
approximately one week after TURBT, these patients received 200,000 units of
hyaluronidase along with 20 mg of MMC intravesically every two weeks for six months,
then every four weeks until the end of two years. The tumor recurrence rate was 25%
(11/43) over a mean follow-up of 48.5 months (range 42 to 66 months). These data
compared favorably to a retrospective study of 63 comparable patients who demonstrated
a tumor recurrence rate of 52.5% during and after two years of intravesical MMC
monotherapy. Side effect of the combination therapy were observed in a total of 14%
(6/43) of patients, and consisted of bacterial cystitis (6.9%), chemocystitis (4.6%), and
skin allergy (2.3%). No patients were withdrawn due to side effects. This study
concluded that the considerable reduction in tumor recurrence rate observed with
hyaluronidase plus MMC compared to that seen after MMC monotherapy and the
absence of any evidence of an increase in local side effects justify the application of
hyaluronidase in this c linical setting. The authors postulated that, like other tumor cells,
malignant transitional urothelial cells might be surrounded by a halo of hyaluronan, and
destruction of this protective halo by hyaluronidase would explain the local enhancement
of the anti-tumor effect of MMC.
A Phase I safety, tolerability, and PK single-administration clinical trial (HZ2-05-02) of a
low dose (20,000 units) of Chemophase with 40 mg MMC administered intravesically in
a targeted sample size of five evaluable patients who had undergone transurethral
resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for transitional cell bladder cancer Stage Ta , T1 or
Tis (any grade), were free of known bladder cancer recurrence, and were being monitored
for recurrence of superficial transitional cell bladder cancer was initiated in August 2005
and completed enrollment on 2 March 2006. All five patients completed the study. There
were no deaths, serious AEs, AEs judged to be possibly or more related to either study
drug, moderate or severe AEs, premature withdrawals, or dose-limiting toxicities. The
only three AEs reported in the study were, by MedDRA Preferred Terms, Influenza,
Urinary tract infection, and Acne. All plasma samples for MMC were below the lower

Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
limit of quantitation (10 ng/mL) and all plasma samples of PH20 were below the lower
limit of quantitation (10 U/mL).
In summary, the previous human experience with bovine hyaluronidase administered as
an adjunct to intravesical MMC collectively in at least 43 patients, based on two clinical
trials and a larger sample size follow-up publication, demonstrated no increase in toxicity
and no increase in systemic absorption of MMC, but did show a statistically significant
and clinically meaningful benefit in the prevention of tumor recurrences. The bovine
hyaluronidase studies are important in establishing the anticipated safety and efficacy of
the investigation of Chemophase as an adjunct in the treatment of bladder cancer. The
nonclinical data for rHuPH20 in various tumor models including the T24 human bladder
cancer cell line and the tolerability of co-administered rHuPH20 with mitomycin in two
animal species (rats and rabbits) provide additional support for the study of Chemophase
as an adjunct to the treatment of bladder carcinoma. Taken together, the nonclinical
findings for rHuPH20 and the human clinical trial data for bovine hyaluronidase support
the rationale for the anticipated safety and the potential efficacy of Chemophase
administered intravesically along with MMC for non-muscular-invasive bladder
carcinoma.

STUDY DESIGN
6.1.
Overview of Study Design
This is a Phase I-IIa multiple dose study of intravesical treatment with the combination of
Chemophase and MMC. All patients will receive six weekly intravesical instillations of
chemotherapy. The 12 patients treated at MTD will continue to receive combination
therapy every three months until the end of Year 2 from Day 1 or until the time of
documented tumor recurrence, whichever occurs first. For the purpose of this study,
tumor recurrence is defined as a biopsy that histologically confirms the recurrence of
bladder carcinoma.
All patients will be assigned to a single dose cohort, and the escalating dose cohorts will
be enrolled sequentially after the safety and tolerability of the immediately preceding
cohort has been ascertained.
On Day 1 of Week 1, all patients in all cohorts (Cohorts 1 through 5) will receive MMC
40 mg/20 mL monotherapy via intravesical administration. In Weeks 2 through 6,
patients will receive weekly intravesical administrations of a combination of MMC and
Chemophase, in cohorts with escalating doses of Chemophase while the MMC dose
remains constant at 40 mg/20 mL (see Table 6.1-A).

Number of Patients
Up to 36 evaluable patients will be enrolled in this study. It is anticipated that no more
than a total of 44 patients will need to be enrolled to achieve this number of evaluable
patients. Groups of either 3 or 6 patients will participate in each of the f ive individual
dose cohorts in the dose escalation phase of the study. Once the MTD has been
established (see Section 8.9), 6 additional evaluable patients will be enrolled at the MTD
dose level, yielding a total of 12 evaluable patients at MTD upon which to confirm safety
and tolerability of the MTD regimen.
An evaluable patient is one who:
• has received all protocol-specified six weekly intravesical treatments with at least
a 90-minute retention, and
• has had MMC plasma concentration determinations and safety assessments
adequate for the determination of safety and tolerability.
Each patient not meeting all these criteria for evaluability, including patients withdrawn
prematurely for reasons other than toxicity, will be replaced by t he enrollment of an
additional patient.
6.3.
Patient Recruitment
Patients will be recruited by each Investigator at each study center from their private
practice, their institution or through referrals. Prior to consenting/enrolling patients, the
Investigator will obtain Institutional Review Board (IRB) review and approval of the
clinical investigation, including this protocol accompanied by t he Investigator’s Brochure
(IB), the informed consent form, and any material provided to patients and any other
advertising for study patients.
Prior to patient screening and enrollment in this study, all patients must have had
transurethral resection of bladder tumor(s) (TURBT) according to standard of care within
42 days prior to Day 1/ Week 1, followed by intravesical standard of care under the
judgment of the patient’s physician and subsequent histopathology report following
TURBT, which will be used to determine if the prospective patient meets the bladder
carcinoma staging and grading eligibility criteria for this study.
A Screening Log must be maintained at each site documenting all patients screened for
participation in this study and noting reasons for non-enrollment and/or ineligibility.

Treatment Summary
This study will involve one (1) intravesical dose of MMC followed by five (5)
subsequent weekly intravesical dose administrations of a combination of a fixed dose of
MMC preceded by t he dose of Chemophase defined by the assigned dose cohort. The 12
patients treated at MTD will continue to receive combination therapy every three months
until the end of Year 2 from Day 1 or until the time of documented tumor recurrence,
whichever occurs first.
In each cohort, at Week 1 patients will receive MMC 40 mg alone (without Chemophase)
in 20 mL of sterile water. If no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT, see Section 8.8) is observed
during the course of this and subsequent study drug treatments, this first treatment will be
followed by five weekly intravesical instillations (at Weeks 2 through 6) of Chemophase
at the dose specified by the assigned cohort followed by MMC 40 mg in 20 mL of sterile
water.
All 3 patients within a given cohort may begin treatment simultaneously. The next higher
dose cohort can be immediately opened for patient enrollment if, at the time all 3 patients
in a given cohort have completed the fourth (4th) instillation of MMC ( i.e., third
instillation of MMC plus Chemophase), there is:
• no NCI CTC adverse event Grade 2 or higher toxicity,
• no MMC plasma concentration ≥ 100 ng/ mL, and
• no new, treatment-emergent, diagnosis of bladder fibrosis.
Note that an NCI CTC adverse event Grade 2 toxicity will delay opening the next higher
dose cohort to enrollment until safety data are reviewed from all six weekly instillations
for all 3 patients in that cohort.
Because this study is being conducted at more than one study center, the enrollment of
patients, assignment to cohorts, and opening of each sequential cohort will be controlled
centrally for all study centers by Halozyme. Each time a new patient is consented for the
study, the study center must immediately fax the updated Screening Log to Halozyme or
its designee. In turn, Halozyme or its designee will keep all centers immediately apprised
of the number of patients enrolled and patients in screening, so that new patients are not
consented if there is no possibility of enrollment because there is no room for additional
patients in the ongoing cohort.
At the time a patient has fulfilled all eligibility criteria, the study center must fax a
completed Enrollment/Registration Form to Halozyme or its designee, in response to
which Halozyme or its designee will provide authorization to dose and confirmation of
the dose cohort to which the new patient will be assigned (see Section 8.4).

followed by post-treatment evaluations, at Weeks 8 and 12. The 12 patients treated at
MTD will continue to receive combination therapy every three months until the end of
Year 2 from Day 1 or until the time of documented tumor recurrence, whichever occurs
first. For all patients, long-term follow-up after Week 12 w ill consist of disease
monitoring of patients by telephone (or at clinic visits for MTD patients continuing on
study drug treatment) and will be performed every three (3) months beginning three
months after last study treatment to the end of two years and 29 days following Day 1 or
until bladder tumor recurrence, whichever occurs first.

• any potentially myelosuppressive therapy.
7.4.
Contraindications, Warnings and Precautions with Regard to MMC
Administration
The administration of MMC in this protocol is guided in part by the approved product
labeling for MMC. MMC is not approved by the United States FDA for intravesical
administration but is approved for other indications. For the convenience of the
Investigator, a representative U.S. package insert for MMC is provided in Appendix C
and a representative Canadian package insert and United Kingdom SPC, which do allow
for intravesical administration, may be found in Appendices D and E, respectively.
These package inserts and SPC are current as of the date of this protocol version. It is the
responsibility of the Investigator to refer to the product label that is current as of the time
of treatment and management decisions.
A boxed warning in the U.S. package insert notes that MMC should be administered
under the supervision of a qualified physician experienced in the use of cancer
chemotherapeutic agents. Appropriate management of therapy and complications is
possible only when adequate diagnostic and treatment facilities are readily available. This
boxed warning further provides information about bone marrow suppression contributing
to overwhelming infections in an already immunocompromised patient, and about
hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.
Protocol HZ2-05-01
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 30 of 89
Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
According to the U.S. package insert, MMC is contraindicated in patients who have
demonstrated a hypersensitive or idiosyncratic reaction to MMC in the past. MMC is a lso
contraindicated in patients with thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorder, or an increase in
bleeding tendency due to other causes. The Canadian package insert includes the same
contraindications, and adds leukopenia.
Warnings in the U.S. package insert include the need for careful and frequent observation
of patients during and after MMC therapy. The U.S. package insert, specific to
intravenous administration of MMC, further warns about a high incidence of
myelosuppression, the need for regular monitoring of hematologic laboratory parameters,
and advising patients of this potential toxicity. Patients receiving MMC should be
observed for evidence of renal toxicity, and MMC should not be given to patients with a
serum creatinine greater than 1.7 mg/mL. The U.S. package insert further states that
bladder fibrosis/contraction has been reported with intravesical administration (not an
FDA-approved route of administration), which in rare cases has required cystectomy.
The Canadian package insert adds warnings that MMC is a potent drug and should be
used only by physicians experienced with cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. MMC should
not be administered to any patient with a white blood cell count below 4,000/mm3 or a
platelet count less than 150,000/mm3 or to patients with serious infections.
The safety of MMC in pregnant women has not been established, and teratological
changes have been noted in animal studies of MMC. It is not known if MMC is found in
human breast milk, and it is recommended that women receiving MMC not breastfeed.
The Investigator is referred to the full package insert(s) as the definitive, comprehensive,
and most up-to-date guide to the administration of MMC.

STUDY METHODS AND PROCEDURES
8.1.
Designated Laboratories: Central, Local, PK, and Biomarker Labs
A combination of a central laboratories and laboratories local to each study center will be
used in this study. The central laboratories will receive and analyze all samples that are
not tied to the need for an immediate evaluation of potential myelosuppression of treated
patients.
It is preferable that only one local laboratory be specified and used at each individual
study center. The local laboratory will receive and analyze blood drawn for a complete
blood count (CBC) and differential on a “stat” basis on Week 1/Day 1, Week 2/Day 8,
Week 3/Day 15, Week 4/Day 22, Week 5/Day 29, and Week 6/Day 36. For consistency,
At each dosing visit, intravesical dosing with study medication(s) must not
be done until CBC and differential results are known, and the ANC is confirmed to
be ≥ 1,500/mm3 and the platelet count confirmed to be ≥ 75,000/mm3. In addition, at
each dosing visit and before any dose of study medication, a urine dipstick must be
performed at the study center and the results known to not show evidence of
urinary tract infection.
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.
Protocol HZ2-05-01
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 31 of 89
Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
all protocol-specified CBCs will be performed at the local laboratory, including the CBCs
at Screening, Week 8 and Week 12.
Samples obtained for pharmacokinetic assays of MMC and rHuPH20and for assessment
of antibodies to rHuPH20 will be sent to a separate central laboratory for analysis.
For the urine biomarkers, the NMP22® BladderChek® Test will be performed in clinic
and the UroVysion test will be obtained in the clinic and sent to a central vendor lab for
analysis.
8.2.
Procedures Prior to Screening (Day -28 to Day -1)
TURBT(s) must be done on a ll patients no more than 42 days prior to Day 1/Week 1.
Post-operatively, patients are expected to receive standard of care as determined by their
physician, which may or may not include intravesical therapy with MMC. The surgical
operative notes and the histopathology report (or content of information therein) from the
TURBT must be available to the Investigator prior to performing any screening
procedures and prior to having any patient sign the informed consent document.
Cystoscopy within 42 days prior to Day 1/Week 1 (generally performed at the time of
TURBT) accompanied by an estimation of bladder capacity will be used to qualify
patients for this study. There must be a urine cytology during Screening collected more
than 5 days after the TURBT and within two weeks prior to the date of enrollment in this
study.
As noted in Section 2.0, the Schedule of Events for this study, activities taking place
prior to consenting the patient (e.g., TURBT with cystoscopy and urine cytology, post-
operative standard of care, and histopathology reading and report) are not protocol-
specified activities, but are prerequisites before a patient can be consented for this study.
8.3.
Screening Procedures (Day -28 to Day -1)
As shown in Section 2.0, Schedule of Events, the following activities are to be completed
during this period.
• Verification from source documents (medical record, TURBT notes, cystoscopy
notes, histopathology report) that patient meets the disease-defining criteria in
Section 7.1, for (1) patient with initial presentation or recurrence of Stage Ta, T1
or Tis, any grade, bladder cancer after TURBT. The specific TNM stage will be
recorded.
• Assess for exclusion criteria (see Section 7.2), including but not limited to
incontinence, irritative voiding symptoms, history of bladder fibrosis, known
other malignant disease, other recent surgery and therapies, active infection,
concurrent serious disease, known coagulation disorder, use of or anticipated use
of heparin, and willingness and ability to comply with protocol procedures.

Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
• Informed Consent: The Investigator or one of the study staff must explain the
study protocol to prospective study patients and have them read and ask questions
regarding the informed consent form (ICF). This discussion must include, among
other topics, the need for an effective contraception method during the treatment
phase if this study. If the patient agrees to participate, they must sign and date the
informed consent form and have it witnessed. Each patient must receive a copy of
the signed informed consent.
• Karnofsky performance status ≥ 80% (see Appendix B).
• Complete medical history.
• Detailed urologic history. This will include a complete description of the number,
estimated size and gross appearance of tumors removed at TURBT; and the area
and depth of involvement of the bladder mucosa after TURBT; the anatomic
location of the tumor(s); estimated bladder capacity; histopathology; tumor stage
and grade; prior history of bladder cancer; etc.
• Complete physical exam.
• Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oral temperature, height,
and weight).
• Concomitant medications. Concomitant medications taken during the time period
beginning 28 days prior to initial dosing, on Day 1/Week 1, through the Week 12
assessment (and, for MTD patients continuing on study drug treatment, through
the last study drug instillation) will be collected (see Section 10.8).
• Pregnancy test (if patient is female and of child-bearing potential).
• CBC with differential within 7 da ys of Day 1/Week 1.
• Clinical chemistries within 7 days of Day 1/Week 1. Clinical chemistries consist
of sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine,
calcium, glucose, albumin, total protein, uric acid, phosphorus, AST, ALT,
alkaline phosphatase, GGT, total bilirubin, and creatine kinase.
• Urinalysis within 7 days of Day 1/Week 1.
• Electrocardiogram. A 12-lead ECG w ithin 42 days of Day 1/Week 1 must be
available. An ECG performed within this timeframe in preparation for the
TURBT is acceptable.
• Tests for HIV and hepatitis if there is suspicion or unclear history of infection
with HIV or active infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Patient with known

8.4.
Patient Registration and Replacement of Patients
Because this study is being conducted at more than one study center, the enrollment of
patients, assignment to cohorts, and opening of each sequential cohort will be controlled
centrally for all study centers by Halozyme. Each time a new patient is consented for the
study, the study center must immediately fax the updated Screening Log to Halozyme or
its designee. In turn, Halozyme or its designee will keep all centers immediately apprised
of the number of patients enrolled and patients in screening, so that new patients are not
consented if there is no possibility of enrollment because there is no room for additional
patients in the ongoing cohort.
At the time a patient has fulfilled all eligibility criteria (see Sections 7.1 and 7.2) and if
there is room for a patient to be enrolled in the study, the study center must fax an
updated Enrollment/Registration Form to Halozyme or its designee. Halozyme or its
designee will review the information, confirm eligibility, and assign a patient
identification number. Patient identification numbers will be set aside for use at each
study center. Halozyme or its designee will fax a Registration Form to the clinical study
center, providing authorization to dose and confirmation of the dose cohort to which the
new patient will be assigned. The study center must not begin dosing any new patient
without this prior Registration Form authorization from Halozyme or its designee
• has received all protocol-specified six weekly intravesical treatments, and
.
A copy of the Screening Log and Enrollment/Registration Forms will be kept on file at
Halozyme or its designee and at the study center in the Investigator Files.
If the next patient is to be enrolled as the first patient in a new, higher dose cohort, the
procedures discussed in Section 8.9 must be followed.
Patients not meeting all evaluability criteria will be replaced. An evaluable patient is one
who:
• has had MMC plasma concentration determinations and safety assessments
adequate for the determination of safety and tolerability.
Each patient not meeting all these criteria for evaluability, including patients withdrawn
prematurely for reasons other than toxicity, will be replaced by t he enrollment of an
additional patient. In the event that a patient withdraws from the study prematurely, every
effort will be made to document the reason for termination and obtain follow-up safety
data.

must not be done until CBC and differential results are known and the ANC
is confirmed to be ≥ 1,500/mm3 and the platelet count is ≥ 75,000/mm3.
• Predose clinical chemistries. These blood samples will be drawn at the same time
as the CBC and differential. Samples will be sent to the central lab for analysis.
• Predose urinalysis. A urine sample will be obtained from each patient prior to
intravesical dosing with study medication and sent to the central lab for analysis.
• Predose urine dipstick analysis. In addition to the full urinalysis at Day 1, a urine
dipstick analysis is performed on t he day of dosing, and the results must be
known with no evidence of urinary tract infection prior to study drug dosing
.
• Urine biomarkers for bladder carcinoma. The NMP22® BladderChek® Test will
be performed in clinic on a urine specimen obtained between midnight and noon,

Escalation to Next Dose Cohort, Stopping Rules, and Determination of MTD
In each cohort, at Week 1, patients will receive MMC 40 mg in 20 mL of sterile water
alone (without Chemophase). If no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed (see
Section 8.8) during this and subsequent study drug treatments, this will be followed by
five weekly instillations (Week 2 t hrough Week 6) of the specified dose of Chemophase
followed by MMC 40 mg in 20 mL as long as no DLTs are observed with the previous
instillations.
A flow diagram of the dose escalation schema and stopping rules is provided in
Figure 8.9-A. If at any time during the study, 1 of the 3 patients in a given cohort
experiences a DLT, an additional 3 patients will be enrolled in that same cohort before
consideration of enrolling the next higher dose cohort.
If 2 or more out of 3 patients, or 2 or more out of 6 patients, in a given cohort experience
a DLT, that dose will be declared not tolerated and 3 additional patients will be enrolled
in the next lower dose cohort.
If 0 or 1 patient at the highest cohort studied to date experiences a DLT, 3 additional
patients will be enrolled at that same dose.
If the dose in a given cohort is found to be not tolerated after dosing has begun in the next
higher dose cohort, all patients in that next higher dose cohort will be immediately dose
reduced to the highest dose cohort that has not been determined to be intolerable.
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level at which ≤ 2 of 6
patients experience a DLT.

8.10. Premature Termination of Treatment/Withdrawal of Patients
The Investigator must guard the patient’s welfare and should discontinue study drug
treatment at any time that this action appears to be in the patient’s best interest. Patients
may discontinue study drug treatment and may withdraw or be removed from the study at
any time. Possible reasons for such actions may include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• Dose-limiting toxicity, as defined in Section 8.8.
• Clinical need for concomitant or ancillary therapy that is not permitted during the
study (e.g., intravesical therapy other than study medications) (see Section 7.3).
• Unrelated intercurrent illness that in the judgment of the Investigator will
significantly affect assessments of clinical status.
• Pregnancy (see Section 10.7).
• General or specific changes in the patient’s condition that in the judgment of the
Investigator render the patient unacceptable for further study drug treatment.
• Patient’s request to withdraw.
• Unwillingness or inability to comply with study requirements.
It is the right and duty of the Investigator to interrupt the treatment of any study patient
whose health or well-being may be threatened by continuation in this study. Such patients
should have study drug treatment discontinued, rather than be continued under a modified
treatment regimen that is not within the specifications of this protocol.
Once a study patient has received MMC or Chemophase under this protocol, the patient
must be followed for safety as required in the protocol (see Section 10). In the event that
a study patient withdraws from the study prematurely, every effort will be made to
document the reason for premature termination and obtain follow-up safety data. The
specific reason for and date of the premature discontinuation will be documented in the
CRFs. The date of the last dose of study medications will also be documented.
Should the enrollment rate lag or significant numbers of clearly non-eligible and/or non-
evaluable patients be entered in the study, Halozyme may elect to terminate the study.
Halozyme also has the right to terminate the study at any time for non-adherence to
protocol, unavailability of the Investigator or his or her study staff for Halozyme or its
designated monitoring personnel, or for administrative reasons, at any time.

8.13. Long-Term Maintenance Therapy and Follow-Up (Following Week 12)
Long-term follow-up for disease monitoring for all patients will start 3 months after the
last of the weekly study drug treatments for every study patient and be performed every
three (3) months for two (2) years after Day 1 or until the time of first bladder tumor
recurrence if earlier (see Section 2.0, Schedule of Events). For the purpose of this study,
tumor recurrence is defined as a biopsy that histologically confirms the recurrence of
bladder carcinoma. It is expected that patients will be receiving standard of care
according to the judgment of the Investigator and/or the patient’s other physician(s).
For all patients NOT treated at the MTD
The 12 patients treated at MTD will continue to receive combination therapy at the same
dose as during their six weekly treatments every three months until the end of Year 2 or
until the time of documented tumor recurrence, whichever occurs first. Thus, they are
intended to receive up to seven maintenance treatments in addition to the six initial
weekly treatments. The maintenance treatments are intended to immediately follow the
standard of care clinic evaluations and cystoscopies for monitoring of tumor recurrence.
As shown in Section 2.0, Schedule of Events, the following activities are to be completed
every three months after the Week 12 clinic visit to the end of 2 years from Day 1 for
those patients still being treated at MTD.
, there are no protocol-required activities during
this 2years term except for first recurrence status and survival.
• Interim medical history (this history is for the interim period of time since the
previous medical history).
• Targeted physical exam (this physical exam is targeted at observations on a
review of systems and follow-up of any findings on the previous physical exam).
• Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, oral temperature, and weight).
• Concomitant medications.
• Cystoscopy (standard of care for monitoring of tumor recurrence), with urine
cytology and estimate of bladder capacity.
• Predose CBC with differential. The local lab will receive and analyze blood
drawn for a CBC and differential on a “stat” basis.
Intravesical dosing with
study medication(s) on an individual patient basis on a given treatment day
must not be done until CBC and differential results are known and the ANC
is confirmed to be ≥ 1,500/mm3 and the platelet count is ≥ 75,000/mm3.

Also as shown in Section 2.0, Schedule of Events, the following activities are to be
completed 6 weeks before the every-three-month v isits after the Week 12 clinic visit for
those patients still being treated at MTD
• Urine biomarkers for bladder carcinoma. The NMP22® BladderChek® Test will
be performed in clinic on a urine specimen obtained between midnight and noon,
and collected more than five days after cystoscopy/TURBT. The UroVysion test
will be obtained in the clinic and sent to a central vendor lab for analysis. If either
biomarker results are suggestive of tumor recurrence, it is anticipated that the
patient will be brought back for a clinic evaluation as soon as possible, and
undergo cystoscopic evaluation, if indicated.

STUDY MEDICATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION
9.1.
Mitomycin (Mitomycin C, MMC)
9.1.1.
Supply of MMC
Commercially available MMC will be obtained through Halozyme and provided to the
Investigator for this study. For the convenience of the Investigator, a representative U.S.
package insert for MMC is provided in Appendix C, and a representative Canadian
package insert and United Kingdom SPC for MMC are provided in Appendices D
and E, respectively, current as of the date of this protocol version. It is the responsibility
of the Investigator to refer to the appropriate product label that is current as of the time of
treatment and management decisions.
As noted in the U.S. package insert, MMC for injection is a sterile dry mixture of
mitomycin and mannitol, which, when reconstituted in sterile water, provides a solution.
MMC is supplied in individually-boxed vials of 5 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg strengths. For
this clinical trial, MMC will be supplied in 40 mg vials. Each 40 mg vial of MMC
contains mannitol 80 mg. Each vial will be labeled with the study protocol number and
the statement “Caution: New Drug – Limited by Federal Law to Investigational Use.”
The label will designate a space for the study center to enter the patient identification

number and initials. MMC vials will be supplied to each study center as bulk drug
supply, and will not be labeled in advance to a specific patient identification number.
9.1.2.
Storage and Stability of MMC
As noted in a representative U.S. package insert (see Appendix C), unreconstituted
MMC should be stored at a controlled room temperature of 15ºC to 30ºC (59ºF to 86ºF),
and is stable for the lot life indicated on t he package. Excessive heat (over 40ºC) should
be avoided. All MMC supplies must be kept in a secure area with access limited to
authorized clinical investigation personnel.
When reconstituted for injection with sterile water to a concentration of 0.5 mg per mL,
MMC is stable for 14 da ys refrigerated or 7 days at room temperature. Reconstituted
solution should be protected from light.
9.1.3.
Procedures for Proper Handling and Disposal of MMC
As noted in a representative U.S. package insert (see Appendix C), procedures for proper
handling and disposal of anticancer drugs should be considered. Several guidelines on
this subject have been published (see References 1-7 in Appendix C). There is no
general agreement that all of the procedures recommended in the guidelines are necessary
or appropriate.
Anyone exposed to MMC should be cautioned to avoid contact with the skin. Study
patients should be instructed to wash hands and genitals after voiding intravesically
administered MMC. Towels or washcloths used by study patients should be thoroughly
washed after use.
Vials and any unused portions of vials must be handled in a manner consistent with the
safe management of non-infectious biohazard material. For accidental spills, wear
protective gloves and avoid physical contact during removal. Use normal clean-up
procedures for liquid spillage and wash thoroughly with water.
9.1.4.
Preparation of MMC for Intravesical Instillation
The reconstituted MMC for intravesical instillation will be aseptically prepared at the
clinical study centers or designated pharmacies. For use in this clinical trial, 20 mL of
sterile water will be added to one 40 mg vial of MMC, resulting in a concentration of
2 mg/mL. The reconstituted MMC can be shaken to dissolve. If the MMC does not
dissolve immediately, it can be allowed to stand at room temperature until a solution is
obtained. For this clinical trial, MMC should be reconstituted no more than 24 hours
before intravesical administration and stored a room temperature. The reconstituted
MMC will not be admixed with the Chemophase solution for instillation (see
Section 9.2.3), but rather will be instilled following instillation of the Chemophase
solution and the sterile saline. The reconstituted MMC will then be delivered to the
catheter for intravesical instillation (see Section 9.3).

All MMC vials supplied for this study, both used and unused, must be retained for drug
accountability. The patient ID number and initials, and date of preparation, should be
written in ink on the vial label. See Section 12.5 regarding drug accountability.
9.2.
Chemophase (rHuPH20)
9.2.1.
Formulation and Supply of Chemophase
The rHuPH20 active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in Chemophase is a frozen solution
at 1 mg/mL, pH 6.8, in 10 mM Hepes and 130 mM sodium chloride. The rHuPH20 drug
substance will be supplied by Halozyme in 1.0 mL and 5.0 mL Type I glass vials w ith a
Type I bromobutyl rubber serum stopper, bot h with a concentration of approximately
100,000 U/mL (see Section 9.2.3). Each vial will be labeled with the study protocol
number and the statement “Caution: New Drug – Limited by Federal Law to
Investigational Use.” The labels will designate a space for the study center to enter in ink
the date the vial was first opened. Chemophase vials will be supplied to each study center
as bulk drug supply, and will not be labeled in advance to a specific patient identification
number.
The Chemical Abstracts Index Name for rHuPH20 is 36-482-Hyaluronoglucosaminidase
PH20 (human). The CAS Registry Number is [757971-58-7]. The USAN name is
hyaluronidase (human recombinant).
9.2.2.
Storage and Stability of Chemophase
Chemophase must be stored frozen. The recommended storage condition for the
Chemophase API solution is -20 ± 5º C. All Chemophase supplies must be kept in a
secure area with access limited to authorized clinical investigation personnel.
Vials of Chemophase must be thawed (see Section 9.2.3) prior to removal of
Chemophase for dosing, but any remaining material in the vial will be immediately re-
frozen at -20 ± 5º C. A given vial may be thawed, fluid withdrawn, and then frozen up to
a total of five times, or over a maximum elapsed time of 12 months (or longer, as may be
amended from time to time by the Sponsor based on additional stability data), whichever
occurs first, after which the vial may not be used for any further dosing.
9.2.3.
Preparation of Chemophase for Intravesical Instillation
The vial labels
will designate a space for the study center to record in ink the “date opened.”
The solution of Chemophase for intravesical instillation will be aseptically prepared at
the clinical study centers or designated pharmacies. For this clinical trial, Chemophase
should be prepared no more than 24 hours before intravesical administration. In
preparation for patient dosing, the Chemophase vial should be removed the freezer and
allowed to thaw either in the refrigerator for at least several hours (typically overnight) or
at room temperature for at least one hour but not more than 24 hours. Chemophase should

be protected from bright light and heat. Thaw only enough vials to prepare the required
dose.
After the vial is completely thawed, the volume of solution appropriate for the dose of
Chemophase to which the patient is assigned will be drawn into a syringe. The size and
graduation markings of the syringe that is used should be appropriate for measuring
volumes to the nearest 0.1 mL. The specific activity of Chemophase is anticipated to
range from 100,000 to 120,000 units/mL. The volume of Chemophase to be instilled is
based on an average of 110,000 units/mL (see Table 9.2-A). As shown in Table 9.2-A,
the total volume of Chemophase drawn from the vial also provides for up to 0.2 mL
hold-up volume due to filtering through the syringe filter.
After the solution is drawn from the vial, the syringe needle will be removed and
exchanged for a 0.2 micron syringe filter. This syringe filter has a hold-up volume of 0.1
to 0.2 mL, which must be taken into account when withdrawing the dose to be dispensed.
Next, the plunger on t he syringe is depressed and a small volume (approximately 0.1 mL)
of the solution passed through the filter and discarded until the remaining volume of the
solution in the syringe matches the exact volume for intravesical administration (e.g., for
Cohort 1, a total of 0.4 mL is drawn into the syringe, the syringe needle replaced with the
syringe filter, and the volume in the syringe is reduced to exactly 0.2 mL by expelling
solution through the filter). After discarding the excess volume to reduce the remaining
volume to the exact amount for intravesical instillation, the solution will then be passed
through this filter as it is delivered into the catheter for intravesical instillation (see
Section 9.3).
The Chemophase solution for intravesical instillation will not be admixed with the
reconstituted MMC for instillation (see Section 9.1.4), but rather will be instilled prior to
instillation of the reconstituted MMC and before the instillation of the amount of sterile
saline needed to follow the Chemophase to add up t o total of 8 mL (see Section 9.3).

At the initial use of vial, the date that solution was first removed from the vial will be
written in ink on the vial label and the vial immediately returned to the freezer. Each time
the vial is thawed and solution removed, the date will be recorded. Note that the vials are
not specific to an individual patient, and more than one patient can be dosed from the
same vial. As noted in Section 9.2.2, a given vial may be thawed, fluid withdrawn, and

then frozen up to a total of five times, or over a maximum elapsed time of 10 months (or
longer, as may be amended from time to time by the Sponsor based on additional stability
data), which occurs first, after which the vial may not be used for any further dosing.
The smallest number of vials necessary for a given intravesical instillation should be
used. In general, the 1 mL-solution vials will be used for the lower doses (earlier cohorts)
and the 5 mL-solution vials will be used for the higher doses (later cohorts). For example,
for Cohorts 1 and 2, a 1 mL-solution vial w ill be used for the first, 0.2 or 0.6 mL volumes
of instillation, respectively. The vial may be re-frozen and later thawed for continued use
for subsequent dosing until the vial is empty. If there is insufficient volume in a given
vial to complete a dose, the volume from that vial will be supplemented with volume
from the next vial from the same lot number. Unless it is unavoidable in order to continue
dosing of a patient without interruption, for any single instillation no patient should
receive Chemophase study drug from more than one lot number

Dosing Schedule and Procedure for Intravesical Instillation of MMC with
and without Chemophase
. It is preferable to limit
the number of lot numbers to which any given patient is exposed over the duration of that
patient’s total exposure to Chemophase. For Cohorts 3, 4, and 5, the 5 mL-solution vials
will be used in the same manner as the 1 mL-solution vials. For planning an adequate
supply of study drug, note that it is not possible to extract the full 1.0 mL from a 1 mL-
solution vial, or the full 5.0 mL from a 5 mL-solution vial. Note also that allowances
should be made for the 0.1 to 0.2 mL hold-up volume lost due to the syringe filter (see
Table 9.2-A).
All Chemophase vials supplied for this study, both used and unused, must be retained for
drug accountability. See Section 12.5 regarding drug accountability.
The only dose of MMC used in this study is 40 mg in 20 mL of Sterile Water. As shown
in Table 9.3-A, the initial intravesical instillation (Day 1, Week 1) for each patient in
each cohort is MMC alone (without Chemophase). For Weeks 2 through 6, the patient
will receive five additional, weekly, intravesical instillations, which will consist of both
Chemophase and MMC, administered sequentially in the manner described below. The
12 patients treated at MTD will continue to receive combination therapy every three
months until the end of Year 2 from Day 1 or until the time of documented tumor
recurrence, whichever occurs first.

All study patients should refrain from drinking fluids for at least eight (8) hours before
intravesical therapy, and also during intravesical therapy, except for sips of water needed
to take medications, unless there is a medical contraindication to this eight-hour
dehydration. Just prior to intravesical instillation, the patient should void completely to
empty the bladder. Using sterile technique, a catheter will be inserted in the bladder and
the bladder will be carefully emptied of any residual urine using the catheter. The volume
of any residual urine will be recorded. If necessary to fully drain the bladder, the lower
abdomen will be gently compressed and the patient may be rolled from side to side.
After the bladder is fully drained of urine and the volume of urine measured, sequential
instillation of study drugs will begin. The intravesical instillation of study drug is a three-
step procedure in this study, as outlined below. The three sequential steps of instillation
are presented in tabular format above, in Table 9.3-A. The intermediate step, instillation
of sterile saline, has been incorporated in this clinical trial for the sole reason of having
the overall volume of fluid administered held constant in all patients across all cohorts.
The syringes with the Chemophase and saline and the reconstituted MMC should be
prepared in advance of the actual catheterization, in order to allow for no interruption in
the stepwise instillation.
• First, the volume of prepared Chemophase solution (see Section 9.2.3) will be
passed through the syringe filter and introduced into the sterile barrel of a syringe
of at least 25 mL connected to the urinary catheter and allowed to enter the
bladder by gravity flow.
• Second, immediately following the Chemophase, the volume of sterile saline
solution specified in Table 9.3-A will be introduced into the sterile barrel of the
syringe connected to the urinary catheter and allowed to enter the bladder by
gravity flow.
• Third, immediately following the sterile saline, the prepared reconstituted 20 mL
volume of MMC (see Section 9.1.3) will be shaken to mix the contents, the
stopper removed from the vial, and the volume immediately poured from the vial
into the sterile barrel of the syringe connected to the urinary catheter and allowed
to enter the bladder by gravity flow. In order to assure that all the solutions have
passed through the catheter and into the bladder, a small volume of air may be

gently pushed by s yringe into the catheter. The catheter is then withdrawn from
the bladder.
This procedure should ensure that all patients in all cohorts have received a total of
28 mL of intravesical volume at each dosing cycle.
Aseptic, appropriate technique must be used during administration of intravesical
Chemophase, sterile saline, and MMC to avoid introducing contaminants into the urinary
tract or unduly traumatizing the urinary mucosa.
After the intravesical instillation is completed, study patients will be instructed to lie on
their abdomen for at least 15 minutes, after which the patient is intended to be
ambulatory. Patients should retain the solution in their bladder, if possible, for a total of
two (2) hours. If the solution cannot be retained in the bladder for the entire two hours,
this will be noted on t he CRF along with the total bladder retention time and the reasons
cited for a less than two-hour retention.
During the intravesical procedure and afterwards, patients should be observed and
questioned about adverse events. Two hours after intravesical instillation, patients w ill be
instructed to empty the bladder into a urine collection container. The volume of urine
voided will be measured and recorded in the CRF. A 5 mL aliquot of this urine will be
frozen at -20°C and retained for possible future analysis.
Patients should be instructed to carefully clean their hands and genitalia after voiding the
intravesically administered MMC. Patients may then leave the clinic if no adverse events
are reported or observed that require them to remain for observation or treatment.
10. ADVERSE EVENTS AND SAFETY MONITORING
The safety parameters collected and monitored during this study include adverse events
(AEs), laboratory determinations, physical examination and vital signs, 12-lead ECG,
plasma concentration of MMC, and findings noted on cystoscopy.
All AEs that occur during the study should be treated appropriately to protect and ensure
the patient’s well-being. If such treatment constitutes a deviation from this protocol,
Halozyme must be notified and the Investigator should comply with applicable
Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) reporting requirements. If the
patient is withdrawn from the study as a result of this deviation, the reason will be
appropriately documented.
10.1. AE Definitions
The following definitions of terms are guided by the International Conference on
Harmonization and the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations [21 CFR 312.32, effective 6
April 1998] and are included herein. The terms "serious adverse event" and "adverse
event," inserted in parentheses, are commonly used terminology.
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.
Protocol HZ2-05-01
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 49 of 89
Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical
investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily
have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Serious adverse drug experience
• Is
(serious adverse event, SAE) is any adverse drug
experience (AE) occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes:
fatal or immediately life-threatening
(life-threatening is defined as a medical
event during which the patient is at immediate risk of death from the reaction as it
occurred; it does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more serious form,
might have caused death);
• Requires hospitalization, or prolongs existing hospitalization
. Any in-patient
hospital admission, regardless of duration of hospital stay, will be considered as
in-patient hos pitalization. Hospitalizations for procedures scheduled prior to
enrollment into the study and emergency room visits do not constitute a serious
AE.
• Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity
;
• Results in a congenital anomaly or birth defect
; or
• Is any other Important Medical Event.
Important Medical Events that may not
result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered
SAEs when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the
patient or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes
listed in this definition. Examples of such medical events include allergic
bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home,
blood dyscrasias, or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization of the patient,
or the development of drug dependency or drug abuse.
Life-threatening is any adverse drug experience (adverse event) that places the patient or
subject, in the view of the Investigator, at immediate risk of death from the reaction as it
occurred, i.e., it does not include a reaction that, had it occurred in a more severe form,
might have caused death.
Associated with the use of the drug means that there is a reasonable possibility that the
experience (adverse event) may have been caused by the drug.
Unexpected adverse drug experience means any adverse drug experience (adverse event),
the specificity or severity of which is not consistent with the current Investigator
Brochure (IB).

Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
10.2. Pre-Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Halozyme considers adverse events (AEs) that occur between the time the patient signs
the informed consent document for the study and the time when that patient is first
exposed to study drug (MMC or Chemophase in this study) as “pre-treatment-emergent”
events. All known pre-treatment-emergent AEs that are serious (see Section 10.1) should
be reported to Halozyme. The reason for collection of serious pre-treatment-emergent
AEs is to allow for an assessment of whether or not the SAE was causally associated with
any protocol-related activities. Halozyme will not collect information on pre-treatment-
emergent AEs that do not meet at least one accepted criterion for a serious classification
under the most rigid and comprehensive of the applicable regulatory agency criteria for
this study. Events occurring after first administration of study drug will be considered
treatment-emergent AEs and will be captured on the AE CRF.
10.2. Laboratory Abnormalities as Adverse Events
It is anticipated that many laboratory abnormalities observed during the course of a study
will be encompassed under a reported adverse event (AE) describing a clinical syndrome
(e.g., elevated BUN and creatinine in the setting of an AE of renal failure, or elevated
SGOT/SGPT in the setting of an AE of hepatitis). In these cases (e.g., an AE of renal
failure), the laboratory abnormality itself (e.g., elevated creatinine) does not need to be
recorded as an AE.
In the absence of a reported AE identifying a clinical syndrome that encompasses the
observed laboratory abnormality, that isolated laboratory abnormality itself should be
reported as an AE if it is judged by the Investigator to be clinically significant for that
patient.
For the purposes of this study, criteria defining a "clinically significant" laboratory
abnormality are:
a) Laboratory abnormality leads to a dose-limiting toxicity (e.g., judged to be
associated with study drug administration and resulting in study drug dose reduction,
suspension or discontinuation), or
b) Laboratory abnormality results in any therapeutic intervention (i.e., concomitant
medication or therapy), or
c) Other laboratory abnormality judged by the Investigator to be of other particular

10.3. Classification of Adverse Events by Severity
The Investigator must categorize the severity of each AE according to the following
guidelines. The level of severity is guided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) for adverse events, which will be provided to each
study center and is available on line at http://ctep.cancer.gov/reporting/ctc.html [12].
Mild:
Grade 1 NCI Common Terminology Criteria AE; or
if not found in the Common Terminology tables, an AE that is asymptomatic or barely
noticeable to the patient; not interfering with patient’s daily activity performance or
functioning; generally not requiring alteration or cessation of study drug administration;
and/or ordinarily not needing therapeutic intervention.
Moderate:
Grade 2 NCI Common Terminology Criteria AE; or
if not found in the Common Terminology tables, an AE of sufficient severity as to
possibly make the patient moderately uncomfortable; possibly influencing the patient’s
daily activity performance or functioning; generally not impairing the patient’s ability to
continue in the study; and/or possibly needing therapeutic intervention.
Severe:
Grade 3 or 4 NCI Common Terminology Criteria AE; or
if not found in the Common Terminology tables, an AE generally causing severe
discomfort; significantly influencing the patient’s daily activity performance or
functioning; generally requiring alteration or cessation of study drug administration; life-
threatening; resulting in significant disability or incapacity; and/or generally requiring
therapeutic intervention.
10.4. Classification of Adverse Events by Relationship to Study Drug
Administration
The relationship of each AE to the study drug administration will be assessed by the
Investigator after careful consideration, and according to the following guidelines.
Because there are two study drugs in this clinical trial (i.e., MMC and Chemophase), the
Investigator will be expected to make his/her best assessment of the relationship of each
event to each of the two study drugs. See Section 10.5 for information regarding the
known toxicity profiles of MMC and Chemophase, which should guide the assessment of
causality to each study drug.

Known Toxicity Profile of MMC
of the two study drugs (i.e., MMC
and Chemophase) in this clinical trial. The information summarized below is intended to
be only a guide to this assessment. The Investigator should base the assessment on all
available information.
The American Urologic Association (AUA) Bladder Cancer Guidelines Panel 1999
Report on the Management of Non-Muscular-Invasive Bladder Cancer provided a
summary of probability estimates of treatment complications for MMC based on its
review of the literature [3]. Complications were grouped by local bladder symptoms,
systemic symptoms, and other, and have been excerpted below for Table 10.5-A.
Of the 28 patients who had undergone TURBT and treated with MMC alone (who
received a total of 788 intravesical instillations) in a randomized clinical trial, five
(17.8%) had side effects, including four with cystitis and one with skin rash [10].
(Note: Of the 28 patients treated with MMC plus 200,000 units of bovine hyaluronidase
[who received a total of 750 instillations], four [14.2%] had side effects, including three

with cystitis and one with skin rash. There was no significant alteration in white blood
count during therapy.)
In a separate publication, side effects of MMC plus 200,000 units of bovine
hyaluronidase combination intravesical therapy were observed in a total of 14% (6/43) of
patients, and consisted of bacterial cystitis (6.9%), chemocystitis (4.6%), and skin allergy
(2.3%). No patients were withdrawn due to side effects [11].
Bladder fibrosis with a reduction in bladder capacity is an uncommon but known
complication of generally long-term intravesical MMC therapy, the incidence of which
appears to correlate directly with the cumulative MMC dose and correlate inversely with
the time interval between a second tumor resection and the first MMC instillation [8].

Known Toxicity Profile of Chemophase
Although there is an extensive body of knowledge establishing the clinical safety and
tolerability of animal-derived hyaluronidases, there are no clinical data regarding the use
of rHuPH20 administered intravesically. Except for the recently-initiated Phase I trial of
a single administration of Chemophase and MMC, only one clinical trial has been
conducted with rHuPH20 (except for trials of the ex vivo use of rHuPH20 to remove the
cumulus matrix surrounding human oocytes for in vitro fertilization). This first exposure
of rHuPH20 drug substance in humans was an investigation of the potential dermal
sensitivity of an intradermal injection of Enhanze SC™ (rHuPH20 for injection) in 100
normal healthy volunteers and showed no s ignal of allergy or immunogenicity.
Animal-derived hyaluronidase preparations have been the subject of multiple
investigations and regulatory approvals in Europe, the U.S. and Asia, and collectively
encompass over 50 years of use in humans. The 11 October 2000 package insert for
Wydase (bovine hyaluronidase) lists hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase as a
Contraindication. Under Adverse Events, it is stated that allergic reactions (urticaria,
angioedema) are rare, and anaphylactic-like reactions following retrobulbar block or
intravenous injections have occurred. The U.S. FDA has indicated that recently marketed
bovine-derived preparations have a reported level of immediate hypersensitivity of less
than 0.1%.
In 1998, Baumgartner et al. published a review of the literature of animal-derived
hyaluronidases (Permease 7500 IU or Neopermease 200,000 IU) used additively to
cytostastic agents in neoplastic diseases in 420 patients in a series of pilot studies [13].
Hyaluronidase was well-tolerated by multiple routes of administration, including
intramuscular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intrapleural, intrathecal, and intravesical
routes of administration. Allergic reactions were noted in 4.2% (3/72) of patients treated
intramuscularly, consisting of local inflammation and pain in two patients and nausea,
vomiting, and circulation disturbance in a third. Allergic reactions were noted in 10% of
patients treated intravenously (except for a 20% rate in astrocytoma patients), all of
which were reversible and easily manageable.
Because rHuPH20 is up to 100-fold more pure than animal-derived products based on
activity and contains human amino acid sequences rather than bovine, it is expected that
most or all of the allergic and immunogenic problems associated with the animal-derived
impurities will be avoided.
A Phase I safety, tolerability, and PK single-administration clinical trial (HZ2-05-02) of a
low dose (20,000 units) of Chemophase with 40 mg MMC administered intravesically in
a targeted sample size of five evaluable patients who had undergone transurethral
resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for transitional cell bladder cancer Stage Ta , T1 or
Tis (any grade), were free of known bladder cancer recurrence, and were being monitored
for recurrence of superficial transitional cell bladder cancer was initiated in August 2005
and completed enrollment in March 2006. All five patients completed the study. There
were no deaths, serious AEs, AEs judged to be possibly or more related to either study

drug, moderate or severe AEs, premature withdrawals, or dose-limiting toxicities. The
only three AEs reported in the study were, by MedDRA Preferred Terms, Influenza,
Urinary tract infection, and Acne. All plasma samples for MMC were below the lower
limit of quantitation (10 ng/mL) and all plasma samples of PH20 were below the lower
limit of quantitation (10 U/mL).
10.6. Reporting of Adverse Events
For the purpose of this study, all
10.6.1.
Reporting of Serious Adve rse Events
AEs, regardless of seriousness, severity, expectedness,
or relationship to the study drug (MMC or Chemophase in this study), will be collected if
the date and time of onset of the AE was after the patient’s first exposure to either study
drug and no later than 28 days after the last dose of study drug. There is no t ime
limitation on the reporting of AEs that are treatment-emergent and assessed as reasonably
associated with study drug (i.e., a drug-associated AE should be reported even if more
than 28 days have passed since the last study drug treatment).
Events that occur prior to first study drug administration will be considered pre-
treatment-emergent because the time of onset preceded the first exposure to study drug
(see Section 10.2), and these observations will be captured on the patient’s Medical
History CRF. Events occurring after first administration of study drug will be considered
treatment-emergent AEs and will be captured on the AE CRF.
Note that AEs that may be known, expected toxicities caused by MMC (see
Section 10.5.1) and occurring during the study must be reported as AEs on the AE CRF.
Patients will be questioned and/or examined by the Investigator and his/her designee for
evidence of AEs. The questioning of study patients with regard to the possible occurrence
of AEs will be generalized such as, “How have you been feeling since your last visit?”
Information gathering for AEs should generally not begin with direct solicitation from
patients regarding the presence or absence of specific AEs.
All serious AEs (SAEs) occurring with any patient participating in this clinical trial must
be reported to Halozyme as described in Section 10.6.1.

should be followed clinically and by the appropriate diagnostic evaluations.
All AEs, regardless of severity, and whether or not ascribed to the study drug
administration, will be recorded in the appropriate section of the CRF.
10.6.4.
Reporting of Safety Information to the Institutional Review Board
It is the responsibility of the Investigator to inform the study center’s Institutional Review
Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) of all SAEs and other safety information in
accordance with applicable IRB’s/EC’s requirements. At the completion or early
termination of the study, a final report should be made to the IRB/EC by the Investigator
within the applicable IRB/EC time frames.
10.7. Pregnancy
A negative pregnancy test during screening for women of child- bearing potential and an
agreement to use effective contraceptive methods during the treatment period of the study
for men and women of child-bearing potential are be required for study eligibility. A
pregnancy test will be repeated at Week 8 for women of child- bearing potential.
Any pregnancy in a study patient must be immediately reported to the Investigator and in
turn to Halozyme (see Section 10.6.1 for contact information). Pregnancy during the
study period will be reported and followed until final resolution (i.e., delivery or early
termination). Any birth defect or congenital anomaly will be reported to Halozyme
immediately as an SAE.
10.8. Concomitant Medications and Procedures
Any medication taken during the study, other than study drug (i.e., MMC and
Chemophase), is regarded as concomitant medication. A history of current medications
will be obtained from each patient during screening and recorded in the CRF. Patients
must be queried regarding both prescription and over-the-counter medications that they
take. Concomitant medications taken during the time period beginning 28 days prior to
initial dosing, on Day 1/Week 1, through the Week 12 assessment will be collected for all
patients, and through the last study drug treatment visit for the MTD patients who are
continuing on study drug treatment after Week 12.
Concomitant medications will be updated at each subsequent visit according to the
Schedule of Events (see Section 2), including any medication taken to treat an AE. At
each study visit, patients will be asked if there has been any change in the medications
they have taken since their last study visit. Changes will be recorded on t he Concomitant
Medications CRF.

Recording of concomitant medications will include the name of the drug, dosage, route,
frequency, date of treatment, and the clinical indication for which the medication was
taken.
Patients may receive medical care during the study including but not limited to
antibiotics, analgesics, antipyretics, etc., when clinically indicated. Whenever possible,
the patient should avoid starting any new medications during the treatment period of this
study (including over-the-counter medications) unless the Investigator deems such
medication medically necessary. A list of medications prohibited during the study is
provided in Section 7.3 of this protocol.
11. DATA ANALYSIS AND STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
11.1. Study Hypotheses
This is a study to primarily assess the safety and tolerability of Chemophase administered
intravesically with MMC. The primary objective is to determine the MTD and DLTs of
escalating doses of Chemophase with MMC and establish the dose of Chemophase
recommended for future studies. It is anticipated, based on previous human studies using
intravesical bovine hyaluronidase along with MMC, that Chemophase will be well
tolerated and will not appreciably increase the systemic absorption or toxicity of MMC.
A secondary objective of this study is to observe patients for any preliminary evidence of
anti-tumor activity of Chemophase and MMC when co-administered intravesically.
Based on nonclinical data of rHuPH20 in various tumor cell models and on previous
human studies using intravesical bovine hyaluronidase along with MMC, it is
hypothesized that, compared to historical data of MMC monotherapy, Chemophase with
MMC will reduce the risk of tumor recurrence. However, this early study of Chemophase
in humans is neither designed nor powered to show statistical significance or otherwise
confirm an anti-tumor effect of Chemophase.
In 1995, a Southwest Oncology Group Study comparing BCG to MMC intravesical
therapy (weekly for six weeks, then monthly for one year) found a median time to tumor
recurrence or death from any cause of 22 months for the 186 patients treated with MMC
20 mg in 20 mL water [14].
In 2001, the International Mitomycin C Consortium published a randomized clinical trial
of six weekly intravesical treatments showing the median time to recurrence for 119
patients in an optimized treatment arm (MMC 40 mg, PK manipulations to decrease urine
volume, and urine alkalinization) was 29.1 months (95% CI 14.0 to 44.2 months)
compared to 111 patients on standard, non-optimized therapy (MMC 20 mg) who had a
median time to recurrence of 11.8 months (95% CI 7.2 to 16.4 months) [15].
Urine biomarkers for bladder cancer obtained at baseline and Week 8 (and beyond
Week 8 for the MTD patients who are continuing on study drug treatment) will be
assessed. The NMP22® BladderChek® Test biomarker is performed in clinic on a urine

Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
specimen obtained between midnight and noon, and collected more than five days after
cystoscopy/TURBT. The UroVysion test biomarker will be obtained in the clinic and
sent to a central vendor lab for analysis.
11.2. Patient Data Sets for Analysis
All patients randomized and receiving one or more doses of Chemophase will be
included in the safety analysis data set. Any patient receiving MMC on study but not
receiving Chemophase will be considered for safety, but assessed separately from
patients receiving Chemophase.
A modified “intent-to-treat” (ITT) analysis data set for anti-tumor effects includes all
patients receiving one or more doses of Chemophase with MMC. Patients who enter the
baseline screening period but are not treated with Chemophase plus MMC will not be
included in this modified ITT analysis.
A “per-protocol” analysis for anti-tumor effects will include all ITT patients who met the
following criteria:
• Satisfied the disease-defining Inclusion Criteria #1 and #2 (see Section 7.1),
• Received at least four protocol-specified doses of Chemophase with MMC over
an interval not exceeding 8 weeks,
• Retained at least four intravesical instillations for at least 90 minutes, and
• Were monitored to the time of tumor recurrence, or at least 5 years, whichever
occurs first.
A listing of all screen failures, with the reasons for failure, will be recorded on the patient
screening log. A patient listing of screen failures and a tabulation of the reasons for
screen failure will be prepared.
11.3. Endpoints and Statistical Analyses
The primary endpoint in this study is the rate of toxicities observed with the combination
of Chemophase and MMC. The primary statistical analysis w ill consist of point estimates
and the 95% confidence intervals constructed around the point estimates. All safety data
will be examined, such as AEs (including overall incidence by treatment group), physical
examination findings and vital signs, laboratory data, plasma MMC concentration, and
ECGs. Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize all safety variables. The MTD
will be determined based on DLTs (see Sections 8.8 and 8.9).
All AEs and toxicities will be recorded on the appropriate CRFs and reported according
to severity and assessed relationship to the study medications. The NCI CTC grading of
severity for AEs (CTCAE) Version 3 or higher [12] and the latest version of MedDRA
will be used for reporting and medical coding of AEs. All AEs regardless of causality
will be individually listed. The incidence of patients with AEs will be tabulated by
MedDRA System Organ Class (SOC), Preferred Term, grade or severity, and also

Page 61 of 89
Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
summarized by study center. SAEs will also be listed and summarized separately. AEs
will also be separated into localized bladder and systemic events.
Based on the long-term follow-up monitoring, the data will be assessed for the median
time to tumor recurrence and the two-year recurrence rate.
For the purpose of this study, tumor recurrence is defined as a biopsy that histologically
confirms the recurrence of bladder carcinoma. Recurrences will be characterized with
regard to the number of tumors, TNM stage, and grading. Information on tumor
progression will be summarized. The data collected on the urine biomarker, comparing
baseline to post-baseline values, will be summarized.
11.4. Sample Size Considerations
This is a Phase I-IIa multiple dose study of Chemophase in humans, and is neither
designed nor powered for formal statistical comparisons. The study does not include a
MMC-only control arm or other parallel control group. The sample size of 3 to 6 patients
per dose cohort is standard for the determination of safety and tolerability in many initial
clinical trials for oncology indications. The protocol intends a sample size of 12 evaluable
patients treated at the MTD level, and it is believed that 12 patients will provide an
adequate sample size to establish the tolerability of this dose regimen for the anticipated
subsequent clinical trials and possibly provide a preliminary estimate of anti-tumor
activity.
11.5. PK Analyses and Neutralizing Antibodies to rHuPH20
A secondary endpoint of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intravesical
administration of MMC alone (at Week 1) and in combination with Chemophase
(subsequent weeks). Samples will be collected and assayed according to the schedule in
Section 8, and according to Footnote 7 in the Schedule of Events in Section 2. Although
samples will be collected for neutralizing antibodies (NABs) at Week 1 and Week 6, the
Week 1 samples will be assayed only if the Week 6 sample shows evidence of NABs.
12. REGULATORY/ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND
DOCUMENTATION
12.1. Ethics
This study will be conducted under a U.S. Investigational New Drug (IND) Application.

21CFR50.25 and the Declaration of Helsinki. The ICF should also indicate by signature
that the patient, or where appropriate, legal guardian/representative, permits access to
relevant medical records by t he Sponsor (Halozyme) and/or the Sponsor's duly appointed
agent and by representatives of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or other
applicable regulatory agency and permits their data to be used in publications.
The Investigator will be responsible for obtaining written informed consent from
potential patients prior to any study specific screening and entry into the study. The
research study will be completely explained to each prospective study patient. The
Investigator or designee must explain that the patient is free to refuse to enter the study,
and free to withdraw from it at any time for any reason. If new safety information
becomes available and results in significant changes in the risk/benefit assessment, the
ICF should be reviewed and updated if necessary. Under this circumstance, all patients
(including those already being treated) should be informed of the new information, given
a copy of the revised ICF, and be allowed to re-evaluate their consent to continue in the
study.

dated ICF document will be provided to the patient, and a copy will be maintained with
the patient's CRFs, or in the study documentation. The original will be retained by the
Investigator along with the CRFs. The ICF must be in a language that the patient can read
and understand.
12.4. Laboratory Accreditation
Any laboratory facility intended to be used for analysis of clinical laboratory samples
required by this protocol must provide evidence of adequate licensure or accreditation.
Reference values and/or normal ranges for the test results must be provided to Halozyme.
Halozyme must be notified immediately in writing of any changes occurring in reference
values during the course of the study.
All local and central laboratories used in the study must have, at a minimum, the
following.
• College of American Pathologist (CAP) accreditation, and/or
• Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) accreditation
• Listing of laboratory normal reference values (for all protocol required tests)
• Laboratory license
• Curriculum vita of laboratory director may also be requested
12.5. Drug Accountability
Upon receipt of study drug(s), the Investigator, pharmacist or qualified designee is
responsible for taking an inventory of the study drug(s). A record of this inventory must
be kept and all usage of study drugs must be documented. All vials of study drug, both
used and unused, must be retained as discussed in Sections 9.1 and 9.2.
The investigational drug (both MMC and Chemophase) is to be administered/ prescribed
only by t he Principal Investigator or appropriately qualified physician subinvestigators
named on the Form FDA 1572. Under no c ircumstances will the Investigator(s) allow the
investigational drug to be used other than as directed by t his protocol. Although
appropriate personnel may be designated to administer/dispense drug and maintain drug
accountability records, the Principal Investigator is ultimately responsible for all drug
accountability.
The Investigator or their designee must maintain accurate records accounting for the
receipt of the investigational drug supplies and for the disposition of the drug.
Documentation of the disposition of the drug should consist of a dosing record including
the identification of the person to whom the drug is dosed, the quantity and the date of
dosing, and any unused drug. This record is in addition to any drug accountability
information recorded on the CRFs. At study end, unused drug will be reconciled with
dosing records. All unused investigational drug shall be returned to Halozyme upon
request unless otherwise instructed. A copy of the reconciled drug inventory record will
be provided to Halozyme or its designee, and the original will be retained at the site.

12.6. Protocol Compliance and Protocol Deviations
Except for a change that is intended to eliminate an apparent immediate hazard to a study
patient, the protocol shall be conducted as specified. Any such change must be reported
immediately to Halozyme and to the IRB/EC.
From time to time, it is possible that Halozyme may prospectively authorize protocol
deviations if the deviation is minor, and does not place patient at increased risk or the
anticipated risk of potential benefit outweighs the anticipated risk of potential harm. All
such protocol “waivers” must be provided in advance and in writing by Halozyme, and
will be forwarded to the Investigator for filing with the patient’s study records. The
Investigator must notify the IRB/EC of any and all protocol deviations according to the
applicable IRB/EC policy.
Written documentation of all protocol deviation must be kept in the study center file and
provided to Halozyme. Examples of possible protocol deviations include, but are not
limited to:
• failure to obtain/maintain approval for research,
• failure to obtain required informed consent,
• failure to collect, report or file AE reports,
• performance of an unapproved study procedure,
• performance of research at an unapproved location, and
• failure to file protocol modifications, and failure to adhere to an approved
protocol.
12.7. Protocol Amendments
If the protocol is revised, protocol amendments will be prepared and must be approved by
Halozyme. All protocol amendments must be submitted to the IRB/EC for review and
approval pr ior to implementation. However, as discussed in Section 12.2, immediate
implementation of a protocol amendment may be necessary if the nature of the
amendment concerns the safety of patients and is required to be implemented on an
urgent basis to protect the safety of patients. Any such immediate implementation of
protocol amendments must be agreed to in advance and in writing by Halozyme. Hard
copy documentation of IRB/EC approval must be forwarded to Halozyme.
If an amendment significantly alters the study design, increases potential risk to the
subject or otherwise affects statements in the informed consent form (ICF), the ICF must
be revised accordingly and submitted to the IRB/EC for review and approval (see
Section 12.3). The approved ICF must be used to obtain informed consent from new
patients prior to enrollment and must be used to obtain informed consent from patients
already enrolled if they are potentially affected by t he amendment and wish to continue
participation.

12.8. Data Collection and Case Report Forms
In accordance with 21 CFR 312.62, a case report form (CRF) must be completed for each
patient enrolled in the study. CRFs are an integral part of the trial and subsequent reports.
All data collected for each study patient will be recorded on CRFs provided or approved
by Halozyme.
CRFs need not be completed by the Investigator, but all entries in CRFs are the
responsibility of the Investigator and entry of CRF data must be made under the
supervision of the Investigator. CRF completion may be formally delegated to other
study personnel. However, the Sponsor (Halozyme) must be informed in writing of the
name of such persons and the scope of their authority. The Investigator is responsible for
ensuring the accuracy, completeness, legibility, and timeliness of all data reported in the
CRFs and all required reports for each study patient. It is the obligation of the
Investigator to review each page of the CRFs and to sign the designated and appropriate
CRFs as the study's authority. The Investigator is also responsible for maintaining any
source documentation related to the study, including, but not limited to, any operative
reports, laboratory results, radiographic films, tracings, and computer discs, files or tapes.
CRFs must be completed legibly, preferably with black ballpoint pen. A correction
should be made by striking through the incorrect entry with a single line and entering the
correct information adjacent to the incorrect entry. The correction must be initialed and
dated by t he person making the correction. Erasure or the use of correction fluid or film is
unacceptable. Entries to the CRFs should be made only in the spaces provided, and not in
the margins. Information that cannot be accommodated by the spaces provided should be
entered on the comments CRF page.
For each study patient, the completed CRFs must be promptly reviewed, and required
pages signed and dated by t he Investigator. The original copy of all CRFs will be
reviewed and retrieved by the Study Monitor representing Halozyme. The Investigator
must retain a copy of all CRFs.
12.9. Study Initiation, Monitoring and Closeout Visits and Reports
Representatives of Halozyme, in conjunction with Study Monitor(s) representing
Halozyme, will perform a number of on-site visits to the study center. Prior to
commencement of the study, representatives of Halozyme will visit the study center to
assure adequacy of facilities to conduct the protocol, and to discuss with the Investigator
the general obligations regarding studies with investigational new drugs. This visit w ill
be documented in a report. If the study center has participated in a clinical trial in
conjunction with Halozyme within one year, this Pre-Study Qualification visit may be
waived.
Upon satisfactory receipt of all necessary documentation (including, but not limited to, an
allowed IND, the FDA Form 1572, an executed Clinical Trials Agreement, and IRB/EC
approval of the protocol and informed consent form), Halozyme or its designee
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.
Protocol HZ2-05-01
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 67 of 89
Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
monitor(s) will arrange for all study material to be delivered to the study center and for
the scheduling of a mutually convenient appointment for a Study Initiation visit. Patient
entry must not begin until this initiation visit by Halozyme or its designee personnel has
been made. At this meeting, all personnel expected to be involved in the conduct of the
study should undergo an orientation to include review of the study protocol, instruction
for CRF completion, and overall responsibilities including those for drug accountability
and study file maintenance. This visit will be documented in a report.
Throughout the course of the study, the Halozyme or its designee monitor(s) will make
frequent contacts with the Investigator. Study Monitors representing Halozyme will visit
study centers periodically throughout the trial for Routine Monitoring visits. The Study
Monitor will review CRFs to verify that they are accurate, complete and verifiable from
source documents. They will also verify the rights and well-being of the study patients
are protected and that the study conduct is in compliance with the currently approved
protocol/amendment(s), with GCP, and with the applicable regulatory requirements. As
part of the data review it is expected that source documents (e.g., hospital records, office
records) will be made available for review by Halozyme or its designee monitor(s). The
study and its monitors may also be similarly evaluated by auditors representing
Halozyme. For these purposes, the Investigator will make CRFs, source documents and
study files available when requested. A report will be generated for each monitoring visit.
At fulfillment of patient enrollment, each Investigator will be notified in writing by
Halozyme. The study will be terminated and the study center closed when all completed
original CRFs have been collected, all data discrepancies resolved, and drug
accountability has been reconciled. A Closeout visit will be scheduled for study centers
that enrolled at least one patient, during which Halozyme or its representative will review
all informed consents, CRFs, drug accountability records, and other study-related
documents. Halozyme or its representative will hold a final meeting with the Investigator
and study staff to explain procedures for record retention, publication policy, site audit
notification, and financial disclosure. A final letter to the site will record the events of
this closeout visit. Study-closure activities will be documented in a report. It will be the
responsibility of the Investigator to notify the IRB/EC that the study has been completed
(see Section 12.11).
The Sponsor (Halozyme) has the right to terminate the study for non-adherence to
protocol, unavailability of the Investigator or his or her study staff for Halozyme or its
designee monitoring personnel, or for administrative reasons, at any time. In that event,
Halozyme will notify each Investigator in writing that the study is to be discontinued.
The Investigator will comply with the Halozyme’s written instructions for study
discontinuation, which will include the following:
• Date discontinuation will occur,
• Rationale for discontinuation,
• Instructions on how discontinuation is to be performed,
• Instructions for patients participating in the study, and
• Instructions for retention of study documents.

Page 68 of 89
Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
In addition to monitoring by Halozyme or its designees, the study may be audited by
representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), who will also be allowed
access to study documents. The Investigator should immediately notify the Clinical
Research Department at Halozyme of any proposed or scheduled audits with any
regulatory authorities.
12.10. Study Documentation and Retention of Records
All records of this clinical study must be retained by the Investigator, including but not
limited to, the following.
• Protocol and all protocol amendments
• All signed versions of the Statement of Investigator, Form FDA 1572
• All drug accountability records
• All IRB/EC approvals, correspondence and reports
• Signed and dated informed consent forms for each patient
• Completed CRFs for each patient
• Copies of any other material distributed to patients
• Any advertisements for this study
• The Investigator’s final report to the IRB/EC
• Source documents pertaining to the study, including, but not limited to, any
operative reports, laboratory results, radiographic films, tracings, and computer
discs, files or tapes
The period of time these documents must be maintained is governed by U.S. law and,
when applicable, non-U.S., regulations. Some countries require these documents to be
maintained for 15 years or longer. All records are to be retained by the Investigator for a
minimum of two (2) years after the FDA has approved the new drug application, or after
the Sponsor (Halozyme) has notified the Investigator in writing that all investigations of
the drug have been discontinued. However, because of international regulatory
requirements, Halozyme may request retention for a longer period of time. Therefore,
Halozyme or its designee will inform the Investigator when these documents may be
destroyed. The Investigator must obtain written approval from the Halozyme prior to
destruction of any records.
The Investigator must advise Halozyme in writing if the records are to be moved to a
location other than the Investigator’s archives. If the Investigator leaves the institution or
study center, the records shall be transferred to an appropriate designee, at the study
center, who assumes the responsibility for record retention. Notice of such transfer shall
be documented in writing and provided to Halozyme.
In the event of accidental loss or destruction of any study records, the Investigator will
immediately notify Halozyme in writing. Halozyme or its designee must be notified in
writing at least 30 days prior to the intended date of disposal of any study records related
to this protocol.

12.11. Investigator’s Final Report
Shortly after completion of the Investigator’s participation in the study, the Investigator
will submit a written report to Halozyme. This report may be a copy of the Investigator’s
end-of-study report to their IRB/EC, which will include, but not be limited to;
notification that the study has concluded, the number of patients enrolled/ treated, and the
number of adverse and serious AEs that occurred during the study. The report to the
IRB/EC will be consistent with the applicable IRB/EC regulations and time frames.
12.12. Financial Disclosure
Each investigator is required to provide financial disclosure statements or certifications to
Halozyme prior to study initiation. In accordance with 21 C FR 54, Investigators and all
subinvestigators are required to disclose all financial interests in the Sponsor (Halozyme)
in order to permit complete and accurate certification statements in an application for
marketing authorization. This includes compensation affected by the outcome of a
clinical study, significant equity interest in the Sponsor (Halozyme), and proprietary
interest in the tested product. The investigators must promptly update this information if
any relevant changes occur during the course of the investigation and over the period of
one year following completion of the investigation (see 21 CFR 312.64(d)).
12.13 Disclosure of Data and Publication
All information obtained as a result of this study or during the conduct of this study will
be regarded as confidential. All unpublished information relating to this drug or to the
operations of the Sponsor (Halozyme), including clinical indications, formula, methods
of manufacture, and any other related scientific data provided to or developed by the
Investigator, is confidential and shall remain the sole property of the Sponsor
(Halozyme). The Investigator agrees to use the information for the purpose of carrying
out this study and for no other purpose, unless prior written permission from the Sponsor
(Halozyme) is obtained. The Sponsor has full ownership of the CRFs and database
resulting from this study.
Disclosures (i.e., any release of information to any third party not noted herein) of any
not previously known to be public information and/or results of the investigation for
publication or by oral or poster presentation shall not be made earlier than 45 days after
submission of the proposed material to the Sponsor (Halozyme) for inspection, unless the
Sponsor consents to earlier disclosure. Any proposed publication must be submitted to
the at least 40 days prior to intended submission for publication. Publication or
presentation of any study information, whether presented orally or in writing, may not be
undertaken either during or after the study without Sponsor’s (Halozyme’s) express
written approval. The Sponsor (Halozyme) may, for any reason, withhold approval for
publication or presentation. If the Investigator is to be listed as an author of a publication
prepared by t he Sponsor (Halozyme), the Investigator will be given 40 days for review of
the manuscript prior to publication. The Investigator expressly agrees that no publication

Appendix C. United Stages Package Insert for Mitomycin
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Mitomycin for Injection is not recommended as single-agent, primary therapy. It has been shown to
be useful in the therapy of disseminated adenocarcinoma of the stomach or pancreas in proven
combinations with other approved chemotherapeutic agents and as palliative treatment when other
modalities have failed. Mitomycin is not recommended to replace appropriate surgery and/or
radiotherapy.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Mitomycin is contraindicated in patients who have demonstrated a hypersensitive or idiosyncratic
reaction to it in the past.
Mitomycin is contraindicated in patients with thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorder, or an increase
in bleeding tendency due to other causes.
WARNINGS
Patients being treated with mitomycin must be observed carefully and frequently during and after
therapy.
The use of mitomycin results in a high incidence of bone marrow suppression, particularly
thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. Therefore, the following studies should be obtained repeatedly
during therapy and for at least 8 weeks following therapy: platelet count, white blood cell count,
differential, and hemoglobin. The occurrence of a platelet count below 100,000/mm3 or a WBC below
4,000/mm3 or a progressive decline in either is an indication to withhold further therapy until blood
counts have recovered above these levels.
Patients should be advised of the potential toxicity of this drug, particularly bone marrow suppression.
Deaths have been reported due to septicemia as a result of leukopenia due to the drug.
Patients receiving mitomycin should be observed for evidence of renal toxicity. Mitomycin should not
be given to patients with a serum creatinine greater than 1.7 mg percent.
Usage in Pregnancy: Safe use of mitomycin in pregnant women has not been established.
Teratological changes have been noted in animal studies. The effect of mitomycin on fertility is
unknown.
PRECAUTIONS
Acute shortness of breath and severe bronchospasm have been reported following the administration
of vinca alkaloids in patients who had previously or simultaneously received mitomycin. The onset of
this acute respiratory distress occurred within minutes to hours after the vinca alkaloid injection. The
total number of doses for each drug has varied considerably. Bronchodilators, steroids and/or oxygen
have produced symptomatic relief.
A few cases of adult respiratory distress syndrome have been reported in patients receiving
mitomycin in combination with other chemotherapy and maintained at FIO2 concentrations greater
than 50% perioperatively. Therefore, caution should be exercised using only enough oxygen to
provide adequate arterial saturation since oxygen itself is toxic to the lungs. Careful attention should
be paid to fluid balance and overhydration should be avoided.
Bladder fibrosis/contraction has been reported with intravesical administration (not an approved route
of administration), which in rare cases has required cystectomy.
Nursing Mothers: It is not known if mitomycin is found in human milk. Because many drugs are
found in milk, it is recommended that women receiving mitomycin not breast feed because of the
potential for serious adverse reactions from mitomycin in nursing infants.
Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in pedriatric patients have not been established.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Bone Marrow Toxicity: This was the most common and most serious toxicity, occurring in 605 of
937 patients (64.4%). Thrombocytopenia and/or leukopenia may occur anytime within 8 weeks after
onset of therapy with an average time of 4 weeks. Recovery after cessation of therapy was within
10 weeks. About 25% of the leukopenic or thrombocytopenic episodes did not recover. Mitomycin
produces cumulative myelosuppression.
Integument and Mucous Membrane Toxicity: This has occurred in approximately 4% of patients
treated with mitomycin. Cellulitis at the injection site has been reported and is occasionally severe.
Stomatitis and alopecia also occur frequently. Rashes are rarely reported. The most important
dermatological problem with this drug, however, is the necrosis and consequent sloughing of tissue
which results if the drug is extravasated during injection. Extravasation may occur with or without an
accompanying stinging or burning sensation and even if there is adequate blood return when the
injection needle is aspirated. There have been reports of delayed erythema and/or ulceration
occurring either at or distant from the injection site, weeks to months after mitomycin, even when no
obvious evidence of extravasation was observed during administration. Skin grafting has been
required in some cases.
Renal Toxicity: 2% of 1,281 patients demonstrated a statistically significant rise in creatinine. There
appeared to be no correlation between total dose administered or duration of therapy and the degree
of renal impairment.
Pulmonary Toxicity: This has occurred infrequently but can be severe and may be life-threatening.
Dyspnea with a nonproductive cough and radiographic evidence of pulmonary infiltrates may be
indicative of mitomycin-induced pulmonary toxicity. If other etiologies are eliminated, mitomycin
therapy should be discontinued. Steroids have been employed as treatment of this toxicity, but the
therapeutic value has not been determined. A few cases of adult respiratory distress syndrome have
been reported in patients receiving mitomycin in combination with other chemotherapy and
maintained at FIO2 concentrations greater than 50% perioperatively.
Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS): This serious complication of chemotherapy, consisting
primarily of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (hematocrit ≤25%), thrombocytopenia
(≤100,000/mm3), and irreversible renal failure (serum creatinine ≥1.6 mg/dL) has been reported in
patients receiving systemic mitomycin. Microangiopathic hemolysis with fragmented red blood cells
on peripheral blood smears has occurred in 98% of patients with the syndrome. Other less frequent
complications of the syndrome may include pulmonary edema (65%), neurologic abnormalities
(16%), and hypertension. Exacerbation of the symptoms associated with HUS has been reported in
some patients receiving blood product transfusions. A high mortality rate (52%) has been associated
with this syndrome.
The syndrome may occur at any time during systemic therapy with mitomycin as a single agent or in
combination with other cytotoxic drugs. Less frequently, HUS has also been reported in patients
receiving combinations of cytotoxic drugs not including mitomycin. Of 83 patients studied,
72 developed the syndrome at total doses exceeding 60 mg of mitomycin. Consequently, patients
receiving ≥60 mg of mitomycin should be monitored closely for unexplained anemia with fragmented
cells on peripheral blood smear, thrombocytopenia, and decreased renal function.
The incidence of the syndrome has not been defined.
Therapy for the syndrome is investigational.
Cardiac Toxicity: Congestive heart failure, often treated effectively with diuretics and cardiac
glycosides, has rarely been reported. Almost all patients who experienced this side effect had
received prior doxorubicin therapy.
Acute Side Effects Due to Mitomycin were fever, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. They occurred in
about 14% of 1,281 patients.
Other: Headache, blurring of vision, confusion, drowsiness, syncope, fatigue, edema,
thrombophlebitis, hematemesis, diarrhea, and pain. These did not appear to be dose related and
were not unequivocally drug related. They may have been due to the primary or metastatic disease
processes. Malaise and asthenia have been reported as part of postmarketing surveillance. Bladder
fibrosis/contraction has been reported with intravesical administration (see PRECAUTIONS).
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Mitomycin should be given intravenously only, using care to avoid extravasation of the compound. If
extravasation occurs, cellulitis, ulceration, and slough may result.
Each vial contains either mitomycin 5 mg and mannitol 10 mg, or mitomycin 20 mg and mannitol
40 mg, or mitomycin 40 mg and mannitol 80 mg. To administer, add Sterile Water for Injection, 10 mL
40 mL, or 80 mL, respectively. Shake to dissolve. If product does not dissolve immediately, allow to
stand at room temperature until solution is obtained.
After full hematological recovery (see guide to dosage adjustment) from any previous chemotherapy,
the following dosage schedule may be used at 6- to 8-week intervals:
20 mg/m2 intravenously as a single dose via a functioning intravenous catheter.
Because of cumulative myelosuppression, patients should be fully reevaluated after each course of
mitomycin, and the dose reduced if the patient has experienced any toxicities. Doses greater than
20 mg/m2 have not been shown to be more effective and are more toxic than lower doses.
The following schedule is suggested as a guide to dosage adjustment:
No repeat dosage should be given until leukocyte count has returned to 4000/mm3 and platelet count
to 100,000/mm3.
When mitomycin is used in combination with other myelosuppressive agents, the doses should be
adjusted accordingly. If the disease continues to progress after two courses of mitomycin, the drug
should be stopped since chances of response are minimal.
Stability
1. Unreconstituted mitomycin stored at controlled room temperature is stable for the lot life indicated
on the package. Avoid excessive heat (over 40°C).
2. Reconstituted with Sterile Water for Injection to a concentration of 0.5 mg per mL, mitomycin is
stable for 14 days refrigerated or 7 days at room temperature. Protect reconstituted solution
from light.
3. Diluted in various IV fluids at room temperature, to a concentration of 20 to 40 micrograms per mL:

MECHANISM OF ACTION AND PHARMACOKINETICS
Mitomycin is a purple antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces caespitosus. Clinical trials were
begun in the United States in the late 1960's. Mitomycin is activated in vivo to a bifunctional and
trifunctional alkylating agent. Binding to DNA leads to cross-linking and inhibition of DNA
synthesis and function. Mitomycin is cell cycle phase-nonspecific.

Dose-limiting side effects are underlined.
I = immediate (onset in hours to days); E = early (days to weeks);
D = delayed (weeks to months); L = late (months to years)
Myelosuppression is major dose limiting adverse effect, and may be cumulative. Onset is late at 3-4 weeks,
with recovery by 8 – 10 weeks. Nausea and vomiting occur within 1-2 hours following administration. Vomiting
usually subsides, but nausea may continue for 2-3 days.
The tissue necrosis that happens with extravasation may happen days to weeks after the treatment. Patients
must be observed for delayed reactions and prior injection sites carefully inspected. Soft tissue ulceration distal
to the injection site following uneventful injection in a peripheral vein has been reported.
Pulmonary toxicity consisting of dyspnea, non-productive cough has been reported with an incidence of 2.8-
12%. Approximately 40% of patients who develop pulmonary toxicity will die of progressive pulmonary
dysfunction. Threshold dose associated with pulmonary toxicity appears to be 50-60 mg/m 2. Steroids may be of
some benefit. Acute respiratory distress syndrome may occur with high FIO 2 concentrations or with combination
chemotherapy.
A syndrome of renal failure and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (hemolytic-uremic syndrome) has been
reported in 10% of patients. This syndrome appears to have a threshold of 50-60 mg/m
2 and usually appears
after 6 months of therapy. Patients should be monitored for development of renal failure or hemolysis.
The incidence of cardiotoxicity may be increased in patients receiving mitomycin in combination with
doxorubicin or in patients who have had prior exposure to doxorubicin. No studies report cardiotoxicity in
patients only receiving mitomycin. Genitourinary irritation following intravesical (bladder) administration
includes dysuria, cystitis, nocturia, increased micturition and hematuria. Myelosuppression has not been noted
with intravesical administration.
Mitomycin has the potential to enhance radiation injury to tissues. While often called radiation recall reactions,
the timing of the radiation may be before, concurrent with or even after the administration of the mitomycin.
Recurrent injury to a previously radiated site may occur weeks to months following radiation.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Mitomycin is classified as dangerous goods under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, and
must be declared as such for the purposes of transportation (substance is considered poisonous).
Mitomycin is contraindicated in patients with thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, coagulation disorder, or
an increased bleeding tendency due to other causes; with known hypersensitivity or an idiosyncratic
reaction to it, or any component of its formulations.
High FIO2 concentrations (anesthesia, oxygen therapy) should be avoided especially in patients with
pulmonary toxicity.
Mitomycin has been shown to be carcinogenic and teratogenic in animal studies and should not be
used in pregnancy. Breast feeding is not recommended due to the potential secretion into breast
milk.

Version 4.0 26 Feb 2009
Appendix E. United Kingdom Summary of Product Characteristics for Mitomycin
6. It has a possible role in combination with other cytotoxic drugs in colo-rectal
cancer.
7. It shows a degree of activity as a single agent or part of combination therapy
in cancer of the head and neck.
8. It shows a degree of activity as a single agent in cancer of the prostate.
9. It has a possible role in skin cancer.
10. It has a degree of activity in leukaemia and non-solid tumours.
11. It has a possible role in sarcomas.
12. It has been successfully used in combination with surgery, pre-operatively
(oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma) and post-operatively (gastric cancer).
13. It has shown to be effective when used in combination with radiotherapy.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
For parenteral use.
Intravenously, the dose should be given with great care in order to avoid
extravasation. The usual dose is in the range of 4 – 10mg (0.06-0.15mg/kg)
given at 1 – 6 weekly intervals depending on whether other drugs are given in
combination and on bone marrow recovery. In a number of combination
schedules, the dose is 10mg/m2 of body surface area, the course being repeated
at intervals for as long as required. A course ranging from 40-80mg (0.58 –
1.2mg/kg) is often required for a satisfactory response when used alone or in
combination. A higher dosage course may be given when used alone or as part of
a particular combination schedule and total cumulative doses exceeding 2mg/kg
have been given.
For administration into specific tissues, Mitomycin-C Kyowa can be given by the
intra-arterial route directly into the tumours.
Because of cumulative myelosuppression, patients should be fully re-evaluated
after each course and the dose reduced if the patient has experienced any toxic
effects. Doses greater than 0.6mg/kg have not been shown to be more effective
and are more toxic than lower doses.
Treatment of superficial bladder tumours : In the treatment of superficial bladder
tumours the usual dose is 20-40mg dissolved in 20-40 of diluent, instilled into the
bladder through a urethral catheter, weekly or three times a week for a total of
20 doses. The dose should be retained by the patient for a minimum of one hour.
During this one-hour period the patient should be rotated every 15 minutes to
ensure that the Mitomycin-C comes into contact with all areas of the bladder
urthelium.
When the bladder is emptied in the voiding process, care must be taken to ensure
that no contamination occurs locally in the groin and genitalia areas.
In the prevention of recurrent superficial bladder tumours, various doses have
been used. These include 20mg in 20ml of diluent every two weeks and 40mg in
40ml of diluent monthly or three monthly. The dose is instilled into the bladder
through a urethral catheter.
4.3 Contraindications
Patients who have demonstrated a hypersensitive or idiosyncratic reaction to
Mitomycin-C Kyowa in the past. Thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorders and
increased bleeding tendency.
Page 86 of 89
4.4 Special warnings and special precautions for use
Mitomycin-C Kyowa should be administered under the supervision of a physician
experienced in cytotoxic cancer chemotherapy. Local ulceration and cellulitis may
be caused by tissue extravasation during intravenous injection and utmost care
should be taken in administration.
If extravasation occurs, it is recommended that the area is immediately infiltrated
with sodium bicarbonate 8.4% solution, followed by an injection of 4mg
dexamethasone. A systemic injection of 200mg of Vitamin B6 may be of some
value in promoting the regrowth of tissues that have been damaged.
Mitomycin-C Kyowa should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. If it
does, it should be washed several times with 8.4% sodium bicarbonate solution,
followed by soap and water. Hand creams and emollients should not be used as
they may assist the penetration of the drug into the epidermal tissue.
In the event of contact with the eye, it should be rinsed several times with 8.4%
sodium bicarbonate solution. It should then be observed for several days for
evidence of corneal damage. If necessary, appropriate treatment should be
instituted.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms
of Interaction
Not Known.
4.6 Pregnancy and lactation
Mitomycin-C Kyowa should not normally be administrated to patients who are
pregnant or to mothers who are breast-feeding. Teratological changes have been
noted in animal studies.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Generalised weakness and lethargy have been reported on rare occasions. If
affected, patients should be advised not to drive or operate machinery.
4.8 Undesirable effects
Thrombocytopenia and leucopenia resulting from myelosuppression, which is
delayed and cumulative. Patients should be monitored closely during each course
of treatment, paying particular attention to peripheral blood count including
platelet count. No repeat dose should be given unless the leucocyte count is
above 3.0 x 109/L or more and the platelet count is 90 x 109/L or more. The nadir
is usually around four weeks after treatment and toxicity is usually cumulative,
with increasing risk after each course of treatment. If disease progression
continues after two courses of treatment, the drug should be stopped since the
chances of response are minimal. Severe renal toxicity has occasionally been
reported after treatment and renal function should be monitored before starting
treatment and again after each course. Nausea and vomiting are sometimes
experienced immediately after treatment, but these are usually mild and of short
duration. Pulmonary toxicity and fever have been reported. Skin toxicity may
occur in a small proportion of patients, with side effects such as alopecia
(although this is less frequent and less severe than with certain other cytotoxic
agents). Bleeding, rashes and mouth ulcers have been reported. General
Page 87 of 89
weakness and lethargy have been reported on rare occasions. Other reported
effects include anorexia, diarrhoea, stomatitis, interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary
fibrosis and microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia syndrome.
4.9 Overdose
In the unlikely event of accidental overdosage then an increase in the more
common side effects should be expected, such as fever, nausea, vomiting and
myelosuppression. Appropriate supportive measures should be instituted.
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Mitomycin-C Kyowa is an antitumour antibiotic that is activated in the tissues to
an alkylating agent which disrupts deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in cancer cells by
forming a complex with DNA and also acts by inhibiting division of cancer cells by
interfering with the biosynthesis of DNA.
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
In vivo
Mitomycin-C Kyowa is rapidly cleared from the serum after intravenous
administration. The time required to reduce the serum concentration by 50%
after a 30mg bolus injection is 17 minutes. After injection of 30mg, 20mg or
10mg intravenously, the maximal serum concentrations were 2.4 mcg/ml, 1.7
mcg/ml and 0.52mcg/ml respectively. Clearance is effected primarily by
metabolism in the liver, but metabolism occurs in other tissues as well. The rate
of clearance is inversely proportional to the maximal serum concentration
because, it is thought, of saturation of the degradative pathways. Approximately
10% of a dose of Mitomycin-C Kyowa is excreted unchanged in the urine. Since
metabolic pathways are saturated at relatively low doses, the percentage dose
excreted in the urine increases with increasing dose. In children, the excretion of
intravenously administered Mitomycin-C Kyowa is similar to that in adults.
5.3 Preclinical safety data
There are no preclinical data of relevance to the prescriber which are additional to
that already included elsewhere in the SPC.

1. INTRODUCTION
This document outlines the statistical methods to be implemented during the analyses of
data collected within the scope of Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. Protocol Number HZ2-
05-01 [A Phase I-IIa, Open-Label, Multiple Dose, Safety, Tolerability and
Pharmacokinetic Study of Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (Chemophase™) in
Combination with Mitomycin in Patients with Non-Muscular-Invasive Bladder Cancer].
The purpose of this plan is to provide specific guidelines from which the analysis will
proceed. Any deviations from these guidelines must be substantiated by sound statistical
reasoning.
2. OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives for this study are the following:
Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities
(DLTs) of escalating doses of Chemophase in combination with mitomycin
(Mitomycin, C, MMC) administered as weekly intravesical instillations for five
weeks;
Establish the dose of Chemophase with MMC recommended for future studies.
Secondary objectives for this study include:
Assess the pharmacokinetics of intravesical administration of MMC alone and in
combination with intravesical administration of Chemophase;
For the patients treated at the MTD, assess the safety and tolerability of
intravesical administration of MMC with Chemophase over up to 7 additional
maintenance treatments every 3 months following the initial six weekly
instillations;
Observe patients for any preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity of MMC and
Chemophase when combined.
3. STUDY OVERVIEW
This is a Phase I-IIa, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation, safety, tolerability, and
pharmacokinetic study of intravesical treatment with combination of Chemophase and
MMC.
Patient may be considered for enrollment in this study if they have initial presentation or
recurrence of Stage Ta, T1 or Tis, any grade, bladder cancer after TURBT.
Groups of up to 6 patients will participate in each of the five individual dose cohorts in
the dose escalation phase of the study. The amounts of Chemophase to be given for each
of the five cohorts are as follows: 20,000 U, 60,000 U, 200,000 U, 400,000 U and
800,000 U. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has been established, 6 additional

evaluable patients will be enrolled at the MTD dose level. This will provide a total of 12
evaluable patients at MTD upon which to confirm safety and tolerability of the MTD
regimen. In total, up to 36 evaluable patients will be enrolled. To reach this number, it is
anticipated that no more than 44 patients will need to be enrolled.
The MTD will be determined based on number of patients experiencing a dose-limiting
toxicity (DLT) at a particular dose level. A patient will be considered to have
experienced a DLT if any of the following occur:
Plasma MMC Concentration >= 100 ng/mL;
Adverse Event (AE) with a Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) grade greater than
or equal to 3;
New, treatment-emergent diagnosis of bladder fibrosis.
For further details on MTD determination, refer to the protocol.
Study patients will receive six weekly study treatments followed by post-treatment
evaluations, at Weeks 8 and 12. In addition, the twelve patients receiving the MTD will
continue to receive combination therapy every 3 months until the end of year 2 or until
the time of documented tumor recurrence, whichever occurs first. Long-term follow-up
information for those in the MTD cohort will be collected to help make a preliminary
assessment of possible anti-tumor activity.
4. GENERAL ANALYSIS CONSIDERATIONS
Statistical analyses will be reported using summary tables, figures, and data listings. No
tests for statistical significance will be performed. All analyses and tabulations will be
performed using SAS Version 8.2 on a PC platform. Continuous variables will be
summarized with means, standard deviations, medians, minimums, and maximums.
Categorical variables will be summarized by counts and by percentage of patients in
corresponding categories. All raw data obtained from the case report forms as well as
any derived data will be included in data listings.
5. ANALYSIS SETS
The following patient population sets will be used for analyses:
The Safety Set will include all patients who received one or more doses of
Chemophase. Any patient receiving MMC on study but not receiving
Chemophase will be considered for safety, but assessed separately from patients
receiving Chemophase for selected analysis;
The Intent-To-Treat (ITT) Set (for anti-tumor effects) will include all patients
receiving one or more doses of Chemophase with MMC. It is recognized that this
definition is a modification of the rigid definition of ITT;

6
The Per-Protocol Set will include all ITT patients who met the following criteria:
o Satisfied disease-defining Inclusion Criteria #1 and #2;
o Received at least 4 protocol-specified doses of Chemophase with MMC
over an interval not exceeding 8 weeks;
o Retained at least 4 intravesical instillations for at least 90 minutes;
o Were monitored to the time of tumor recurrence, or at least 5 years,
whichever occurs first.
Anti-tumor analysis will be performed on the ITT and Per Protocol Sets. In the event all
patients in the ITT Set are also in the Per Protocol Set, analysis will only be carried out
on the ITT Set.
Baseline and safety analysis will be performed on the Safety Set. Any patient who
received MMC on study but not Chemophase will be considered for selected safety
assessments; however, those patients will be assessed separately from patients receiving
Chemophase.
6. PATIENT DISPOSITION
Patient disposition information will be summarized for all patients. Summaries will
include: the number of enrolled patients, the number of patients in each analysis set, the
number of patients completing the study without premature withdrawal, and the reasons
for not completing the study.
7. DEMOGRAPHIC AND BASELINE CHARACTERISTICS
Demographic variables include: age, sex, ethnicity, and race. Other baseline
characteristics include: Karnofsky performance status, medical history, urologic history
and bladder cancer history. Patient history endpoints to be summarized include the years
since initial bladder cancer diagnosis, total number of bladder cancer occurrences,
estimated bladder capacity, total number of bladder tumor treatments, total number of
bladder cancer surgeries, total number of previous cystoscopies with tumor detected and
without tumor detected. When applicable, demographic and baseline characteristics will
be summarized.
8. STUDY DRUG ADMINISTRATION
For each visit during the study drug administration phase of the study other than Day 1,
patients are expected to receive a pre-specified amount of Chemophase, MMC and sterile
saline based on the cohort they are assigned to (on Day 1, patients will only receive
MMC). Counts and percentages of those patients who receive the pre-specified dose of
study drug as well as those who do not will be displayed by cohort and visit. Also
summarized will be the instillation dwell time (end time of instillation minus post-
instillation void time).

The plasma concentrations for MMC and plasma concentrations of rHuPH20 are part of
the study design, but will not be summarized in tabular form as part of the analysis plan.
Concentrations will be presented in listings.
10 OTHER ANTI CANCER ANALYSES
Plasma determinations for rHuPH20 neutralizing antibodies are part of this study design,
but will not be summarized in tabular form as part of this analysis plan. Plasma
determinations for antibodies will be presented in listings.
All patients completing the study will have a cystoscopy performed at the Week 12 visit.
For those patients being treated at MTD, cystoscopies will be performed every three
months through the end of Year 2 starting 3 months after the last study drug treatment,
which is anticipated to be at Week 6. Endpoints to be collected include the cystoscopy
result and the estimated bladder capacity. Summaries of these endpoints will be
presented by cohort.
Biomarker tests, consisting of NMP22 BladderChek tests and UroVysion tests, are to be
conducted during Week 1 and Week 8 of the study. For those patients treated at MTD,
these biomarker tests are also to be performed every 3 months, occurring 6 weeks before
each every-three-month clinic visit. Results from these tests will be used to construct a
shift table with possible results of positive, negative, no valid result and not done for the
BladderChek test and negative, positive, equivocal, other and not done for the Urovysion
test.
11. SAFETY ANALYSES
All patients who received Chemophase will be included in the safety analyses. Patients
who receive MMC, but not Chemophase, will be summarized separately for adverse
events. Analysis will consist of point estimates and the 95% confidence interval
constructed around the point estimates for the overall incidence of adverse events.
11.1 Adverse Events
The adverse events considered are Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) defined
as those AEs that occurred after initial study drug dosing (first dose of MMC) and those
existing AEs that worsened after initial study drug dosing. All listings and tabular
summaries of AEs will be restricted to only TEAEs, except for a separate listing showing
only those AEs that are pre-treatment-emergent, should any such AEs exist in the

database. Verbatim terms on case report forms will be mapped to preferred terms and
system organ classes using the MedDRA dictionary (version 8.0, or a later version at the
discretion of Synteract). If a patient has more than one adverse event mapped to the same
preferred term, that adverse event will be reported only once in a given summary table
using the highest severity and/or closest relationship to study medication. Patient
incidence of adverse events will be displayed by system organ class (SOC) and preferred
term. Adverse events will also be summarized by severity and relationship to each study
drug (Chemophase, MMC) independently. Patient incidence of serious adverse events
(including deaths) will also be displayed. Tabular summaries of AEs will list SOCs
according to the internationally agreed order, and within each individual SOC the AEs
will be listed in order of decreasing incidence. See Appendix D for the internationally
agreed order for SOC.
11.2 Clinical Laboratory Evaluation
Descriptive statistics of clinical laboratory assessment changes will be presented for
baseline and each post baseline time point. In addition, shift tables will be presented to
assess abnormal laboratory values over time. In constructing shift tables, baseline results
will be compared to the most abnormal post baseline result. Laboratory parameters will
be classified as low, normal, high and patient counts of shifts from baseline will be
presented. The designation of clinical significance will be displayed.
Listings will be provided for laboratory analyte values. Values outside of the normal
range will be flagged as either high or low and the designation of clinical significance
will be displayed.
11.3 Other Safety Analyses
Complete physical examinations will occur at screening and Week 8. In addition,
targeted physical examinations will take place through the study drug administration
phase of the study. Shift tables will be created for each body system to show any
abnormal result both pre- and post-study drug.
Results for vital signs will be summarized by cohort for each visit. In addition, change
from baseline will be presented.
Information for 12-Lead ECG will be collected at screening and Week 8. A shift table of
the results for the test will be displayed along with summary statistics of QT, QTc, Heart
Rate, P-R Interval and QRS.
The Karnofsky Performance Status will performed on each patient at each visit. Results
will be shown by visit and cohort.

11.4 Concomitant Medications
Concomitant medications taken during the time period beginning 28 days prior to initial
dosing, on Day 1/Week 1, through the Week 12 assessment (and, for MTD patients
continuing on study drug treatment, through the last study drug instillation) will be
collected in this study. Concomitant medications will be linked to generic terms and
ATC classes using the WHO dictionary, Version 4.3. Concomitant medication use will
be presented in listings.
12 LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP
The twelve patients receiving the MTD will continue to receive combination therapy
every 3 months until the end of Year 2 or until the time of documented tumor recurrence,
whichever occurs first. During this time of extended, long-term, treatment information
collected on patients will include vital signs, targeted physical examinations, cystoscopy
and urine cytology, urine dipsticks, hematology results, study drug administration, AE
collection, concomitant medications and NMP22 BladderChek and UroVysion biomarker
tests. Results for endpoints collected will be summarized in similar manner as the regular
dosing portion of the study, except results will be presented for only the MTD cohort.
In addition, any patients reported to have tumor recurrences will be recorded. The data
will be assessed to make Kaplan Meier estimates of time to tumor recurrence at 6, 12, 18
and 24 months as well as determine median time to tumor recurrence. All other
information on tumor recurrences including number of tumors, TNM stage and grading
will be shown in listings.

] | 28 | null | SEQUENTIAL | 0TREATMENT | 0NONE | false | 0ALL | false | This study is designed to compare four currently used types of anesthesia used prior to intravitreal injection in order to evaluate the most effective method of anesthesia in reducing pain and discomfort associated with intravitreal injections. | Over the last several years intravitreal injection of pharmacologic agents has become a common procedure in ophthalmology. Injected agents include steroid, antibiotics, and most recently anti-VEGF agents. There are many methods of preparing a patient for intravitreal injection. While there are guidelines for infection prophylaxis, there is currently no standard of care or consensus on which method of anesthesia is most effective in reducing pain and discomfort associated with intravitreal injections.
Patients who have received prior injections and are scheduled to continue regular injections will be randomized to utilize one of four types of anesthetic treatment for each of 4 treatment periods,so that each subject receives all four types of anesthesia over the course of the study. The order of the anesthetic treatment the subject will receive prior to each planned intravitreal injection during the study period will be different for each subject. This will decrease the effect of extraneous variables from influencing subjective pain scores.
Following each procedure, patients will fill out an analog pain scale questionnaire, grading the discomfort of receiving both the anesthesia and the injection(on separate 0-10 scales).
The anesthetic methods used will include: 1.) Drops of Proparacaine on the eye, 2.) Drops of Tetracaine on the eye, 3.) A cotton sponge (pledget) soaked with Lidocaine 4% placed over the conjunctiva and 4.)A subconjunctival injection with 2% Lidocaine.
The subjects' number and type of visits, tests and treatments will be standard of care and will not be different due to the study. The total time for the treatment part of the study coincides with four injections (1 injection per month) or approximately 4 months and will be followed for up to 6 months. | Macular Degeneration | Macular Degeneration Intravitreal injections Eye anesthesia-Topical/subconjunctival Eye-surgical procedures Ophthalmologic anesthesia methods | null | 1 | arm 1: All Participants will be randomized to receive a unique sequence of one of the 4 anesthetic agents per month, prior to a standard of care monthly intravitreal injection (1 injection per month for a total of 4 months). At the end of study participation, each patient will have received each of the 4 anesthetic agents once prior to one of the 4 intravitreal injections (ex. Randomization to sequence: Proparacaine Ophthalmic drops used prior to Injection 1; Tetracaine Ophthalmic drops used prior to Injection 2; Lidocaine 4% sponge used prior to Injection 3; Lidocaine 2% injectable solution (subconjunctival) used prior to Injection 4). | [

Recruitment would take 27 months to complete, and the study would continue for a third year to allow 9 months of follow-up for the last patient recruited. All patients would be treated from the time of entry up to the end of the three-year study period. Follow-up assessments would continue quarterly. Treatments would not be blinded since giving placebo injections to the comparison group would interfere with the goal of comparing the acceptability of two different methods of medication administration. However, end points will be blindly rated. | The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of long-acting injectable risperidone on psychiatric inpatient hospitalization, schizophrenia symptoms, quality of life, medication adherence, side effects, and health care costs.
Objectives:
Primary: To evaluate the impact of long-acting intramuscular (IM) risperidone on risk of inpatient psychiatric hospitalization in comparison to standard oral antipsychotic treatment in a randomized controlled trial to be conducted with 450 veterans diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder at 16 VA medical centers over three years.
Secondary: To evaluate adherence, health benefits, and costs of long-acting IM risperidone as compared to standard oral antipsychotic treatment as measured by: a) symptom reduction over 12 months, b) time to all-cause medication discontinuation, c) quality of life, d) VA and non-VA health service use and related costs, e) medication side effects, f) violent behavior, g) use of concomitant medication, and h) the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. | Schizoaffective Disorder Schizophrenia | null | 2 | arm 1: long-acting injectable risperidone arm 2: oral antipsychotic medication | [

An additional objective is to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of the two different doses of AVP-923 in a subset of the study population.
Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) is a condition characterized by involuntary, sudden and frequent episodes of laughing and/or crying out of proportion or incongruous to the underlying emotion of happiness or sadness Other terms used to describe this condition include emotional lability, emotionalism, emotional incontinence, emotional discontrol, excessive emotionalism, and pathological laughing and crying. The outbursts can occur spontaneously or in response to provocative stimuli such as questions or events.
A body of evidence suggests that PBA can be modulated through pharmacologic intervention.
Dextromethorphan (DM) is a low-affinity uncompetitive antagonist of the N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, reducing the level of excitatory activity. DM also acts at the phencyclidine-binding site, which is part of the NMDA receptor complex. DM is a sigma receptor agonist, suppressing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters.
Quinidine (Q) is a known potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), that decreases the metabolism of dextromethorphan and helps to achieve sustained and therapeutic levels of this drug. | null | Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) | Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease, ALS) Multiple Sclerosis (MS) | null | 3 | arm 1: AVP-923-30/10 Capsules (30 mg dextromethorphan/10 mg quinidine)administered once daily for 1 week and then twice daily for 11 weeks arm 2: AVP-923-20/10 Capsules (20 mg dextromethorphan/10 mg quinidine)administered once daily for 1 week and then twice daily for 11 weeks arm 3: Placebo Capsules once daily for 1 week and then twice daily for an additional 11 weeks | [

] | 193 | RANDOMIZED | PARALLEL | 1PREVENTION | 2DOUBLE | false | 0ALL | true | The purpose of this study is to determine if hydroxyurea therapy is effective in the prevention of chronic end organ damage in pediatric patients with sickle cell anemia. | BACKGROUND:
In 1995, the Multicenter Study of Hydroxyurea (MSH) demonstrated that hydroxyurea is effective in decreasing the frequency of painful crises, hospitalizations for crises, acute chest syndrome, and blood transfusions by 50%. The recently completed phase II study of hydroxyurea in children (PED HUG) demonstrated that children have a response to hydroxyurea similar to that seen in adults in terms of increasing fetal hemoglobin levels and total hemoglobin, and decreasing complications associated with sickle cell anemia. In addition, this study demonstrated that the drug does not adversely affect growth and development between the ages of 5 and 15. A recently completed pilot study of hydroxyurea given to children between the ages of 6 months and 24 months demonstrated that the drug is tolerated well by small infant, and that the fetal hemoglobin switch can be forced to remain in the "on position" by hydroxyurea administration.
A Special Emphasis Panel (SEP) met on April 12, 1996 to review the results of the MSH trial and the progress to date of the PED HUG study. The SEP recommended that NHLBI undertake the BABY HUG trial.
DESIGN NARRATIVE:
BABY HUG is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to determine if hydroxyurea can prevent the onset of chronic end organ damage in young children with sickle cell anemia. Approximately 200 children with sickle cell disease will be recruited to receive either hydroxyurea or placebo. The children will be screened at study entry for signs of abnormal brain, kidney, pulmonary, and splenic function, and developmental milestones. They will then be randomly assigned to receive either hydroxyurea or placebo and followed yearly to assess chronic end organ damage of the major organ systems. The primary endpoint will be a 50% reduction in rates of damage to the major organs with surrogate markers of organ function during follow-up in Phase II of the trial. | Hematologic Diseases Anemia, Sickle Cell | Blood Diseases Sickle Cell Anemia | Prot_SAP_000.pdf:

PREFACE TO THE BABY HUG PROTOCOL
Decades of observational data have documented that sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a
devastating medical disorder. Over 50,000 affected persons in the United States have inherited
SCA, and the vast majority of them are African-American. To date, there have been few therapeutic
options for persons with SCA. Bone marrow transplantation, which can provide a cure for
individuals with a matched sibling donor, and chronic blood transfusions to prevent cerebrovascular
disease are possible therapeutic options that are not appropriate or available for all patients. No
other treatment has yet been demonstrated to prevent the chronic end organ damage seen in this
disorder.
SCA is characterized by acute complications and chronic organ damage that cause lifelong
morbidity and early mortality. Acute events result from erythrocyte sickling and vaso-occlusion, and
begin early in life with dactylitis, other painful events, and acute chest syndrome. Chronic organ
damage from sickling is more insidious but also begins early in life as fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels
begin to decline. During the first two years of life, sickling begins to damage the spleen, rendering
the child susceptible to overwhelming infection. The kidney also is affected in infancy and
manifests abnormality first as increased glomerular filtration, followed by proteinuria in older
children and finally renal failure in young adults. Other organs (e.g., brain, liver, and lungs) are also
affected by chronic sickling, but damage that begins in infancy typically does not become manifest
until an older age.
The anti-neoplastic agent hydroxyurea has emerged recently as an oral medication that can
increase fetal hemoglobin (HbF) production and thereby reduce intracellular sickling.
Hematological benefits of hydroxyurea therapy include higher HbF values, higher hemoglobin
concentration, and less hemolysis. The clinical efficacy of hydroxyurea therapy in reducing acute
events (crisis, acute chest syndrome, hospitalizations, rate of transfusions) in severely affected
adults with SCA was demonstrated in a randomized clinical trial -- the Multicenter Study of
Hydroxyurea in Sickle Cell Anemia (MSH) -- long-term follow-up suggests that hydroxyurea therapy
may be associated with reduced mortality as well. The short-term safety of hydroxyurea therapy
has been demonstrated in school-aged children (HUGKIDS) and infants and very young children
(HUSOFT) with SCA, but its clinical efficacy has not been proven in this younger age group.
Importantly, the effects of hydroxyurea on chronic end organ damage in SCA have not been
investigated, although children in HUSOFT had the suggestion of reduced splenic dysfunction
compared to historical controls, and their observed increases in glomerular filtration rate with age
were inversely correlated with the amount of HbF.
With these encouraging results, the challenge now is to determine the appropriate and
optimal use of hydroxyurea therapy for children with SCA. Several important questions must be
addressed, and the proposed answers must be sensitive to the history of medical investigation
involving African-Americans.
Highest priority must be given to patient protection and to assuring that patients’ families
make their decisions regarding participation in BABY HUG freely, with confidence and trust in the
choices offered. Conversely, however, it would be unethical to allow hydroxyurea to be used
indiscriminately in this vulnerable patient population without demonstrated benefit in a randomized
clinical trial. A recent survey by the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology noted that
30% of pediatric hematologists already use hydroxyurea in children under age 5 years, and some
already use it as early as age 1 year of life. It is essential, therefore, to design and conduct a formal
randomized clinical trial to ensure that hydroxyurea will be used appropriately in young children with
SCA. The following are three critical study design questions with proposed answers:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/BHUG-Preface.wpd — 8/09
Page P2 of P2
1.
What is the best age range in which to consider hydroxyurea therapy for the prevention of
chronic organ damage?
The pathophysiology of sickling in SCA begins during the first year of life, and organ
damage to the spleen and kidney clearly begins before 2 years of age. The onset of
damage appears to be associated with the decline in Hb F levels that begins at 6 months
of age. Since the onset of disease begins in infancy, the first year or two of life is the
appropriate age range to study. In BABY HUG, enrollment will begin at 9 months of life and
continue through age 17 months.
2.
Should hydroxyurea be reserved only for patients with severe disease, or might less
severely affected infants benefit as well?
Even though only a subset of infants with SCA will manifest acute clinical sickling
complications during the first two years of life, chronic (subclinical) sickling occurs in all
patients. Treatment that is limited to severely affected infants might not address the
capacity of hydroxyurea to prevent organ damage. Conversely, the exclusion of well-
appearing infants would be inappropriate since they might be denied beneficial therapy.
Functional asplenia is recognized as a poor prognostic sign, hence the prevention of splenic
damage is a worthwhile goal for all infants. In BABY HUG, very young children with SCA
will be randomly assigned to either hydroxyurea or placebo therapy.
3.
Can hydroxyurea help prevent the chronic end organ damage in sickle cell disease that
begins early in life?
This question will be addressed directly in BABY HUG. The spleen and the kidneys are the
organs commonly affected early in childhood; hence these organs will be the primary study
endpoints.
Summary. Based on the known pathophysiology of SCA, previous data from studies using
hydroxyurea in infants and children, and careful consideration of sociological and ethical factors,
we propose that hydroxyurea should be tested in a formal randomized clinical trial for the
prevention of chronic organ damage in infants with SCA. We propose a randomized double-blinded
placebo-controlled trial to prevent damage to the spleen and kidney, since these organs are the first
to be affected early in life. We propose to determine if we can enroll children with SCA who are
between 9 and 17 months of age, to prevent chronic damage to the spleen and kidneys. With
proper precautions to ensure safety of all participants, we believe that this is the optimal trial design
that allows equipoise, ethical patient protection, and the opportunity to determine the true efficacy
of hydroxyurea in preventing chronic organ damage in children with SCA.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 1
BACKGROUND AND STUDY RATIONALE
1.1
OVERVIEW OF SICKLE CELL ANEMIA
The term Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) refers to a group of genetic hematological disorders
characterized by the predominance of sickle hemoglobin (HbS). SCD is one of the most common
inherited diseases in the United States, affecting approximately 1 in 375 African-American live
births. Currently it is estimated that there are over 75,000 persons in the United States with SCD.
A single inherited amino acid substitution in beta globin results in the formation of HbS (containing
beta-globin S instead of beta-globin A). HbS undergoes polymerization in the deoxygenated state,
leading to deformation of the cellular membrane and alteration of cellular physiology. Sickle Cell
Anemia (SCA) is characterized by homozygous state for HbS and represents the majority of SCD
patients.
Clinical manifestations of SCA result primarily from hemolytic anemia and the effects of
intravascular sickling, including both acute tissue hypoxia and chronic organ damage. Patients with
SCD commonly develop acute vaso-occlusive events due to sickling of erythrocytes within the
capillaries and small venules. Acute vaso-occlusive sickling events can manifest in many ways,
including painful crisis, priapism, splenic sequestration, acute chest syndrome, or stroke. Over a
period of years, patients with SCA develop organ damage from repeated acute and chronic sickling
events. The primary organs that are affected chronically by sickling include the spleen, kidneys,
brain, and lungs. Data gathered during the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD)
demonstrate clearly that chronic organ damage is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for
patients with SCA.

1.2
CHRONIC ORGAN DAMAGE IN SICKLE CELL ANEMIA
1.2.1
Spleen
Of all internal organs affected by chronic sickling, the spleen is the one damaged most
severely early in life. The slow circulation within the spleen provides an ideal milieu for sickling,
which leads to tissue hypoxia and organ infarction. In most children with sickle cell anemia, the
spleen is non-functional by the age of 2 years (Pearson et al, 1979). This acquired state of
functional asplenia (Diamond, 1969) leads to a susceptibility to infection by encapsulated bacteria
(Zarkowsky et al, 1986; Gill et al, 1995; Kabins and Lerner, 1970; Pearson, 1977). Splenic damage
can be identified by the absence of radioactive tracer uptake, or the presence of increased numbers
of pitted erythrocytes (Pearson et al, 1979; Rogers et al, 1982; Pearson et al, 1985; Fatunde and
Scott, 1986). Transfusion therapy has been associated with a “reversal” of splenic hypofunction
(Buchanan et al, 1989; Barrios et al, 1993), suggesting that splenic damage may be reversible
during the first few years of life. Similarly, bone marrow transplantation in children with SCD may
be able to correct splenic dysfunction (Ferster et al, 1993). Splenic regeneration may also occur
with hydroxyurea (HU) therapy in patients with SCA (Claster and Vichinsky, 1996).
1.2.2
Kidneys
The term “sickle nephropathy” refers to the constellation of chronic renal damage that
occurs in patients with SCA. For decades, it has been known that defects in renal tubular function,
specifically in acidification (Oster et al, 1976) and concentrating ability (Francis and Worthen, 1968)
begin early in childhood, along with papillary necrosis (Eknoyan et al, 1982). More recently, sickle
nephropathy has been characterized by proteinuria, occasionally with urinary protein loss in the
range of the nephrotic syndrome (Tejani et al, 1985). The prognosis of nephrotic syndrome is poor,
with chronic azotemia and acute renal failure occurring frequently (Bakir et al, 1987). The
estimated prevalence of proteinuria in SCA is about 6% for children (Wigfall et al, 2000) and 25%
for adults (Falk et al, 1992). Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis and mesangial proliferation
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-3 of 1-15
have been described histologically, and probably result from glomerular hyperfiltration (Tejani et
al, 1985).
An elevated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a common feature in patients with sickle
nephropathy that begins very early in life (Allon et al, 1988), and may portend later severe renal
damage. Therapy to reduce glomerular capillary hypertension significantly can reduce urinary
protein excretion in adults with SCA (Falk et al, 1992). Renal damage from chronic sickling is a
significant cause of morbidity and mortality; in the CSSCD, 18% of deaths in adults with SCA
occurred secondary to overt organ failure, primarily renal (Platt et al, 1994).
1.2.3
Brain
The CSSCD has collected prospective data on chronic organ damage to the brain in over
300 children with SCD. Using brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 22% of children age 6-12
years had infarction/ischemia and/or atrophy, including 13% who had no history of a clinical CVA
(Leong et al, 1997). The lesions in these latter children are referred to as “silent infarcts” that reflect
subclinical organ damage to the brain. Most of the lesions were present at entry into the study (age
6 years). More recently, 39 infants with SCA, 7 - 48 months of age, were found to have an 11%
prevalence of brain abnormalities on MRI (Wang et al, 1998).
Organ damage to the brain in SCD is often associated with changes in the large intracranial
arteries, most commonly stenosis within the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) and proximal middle
cerebral artery (MCA). Abnormal cerebral blood flow can be identified in some children by magnetic
resonance angiography (MRA), while transcranial doppler (TCD) has been shown to identify
children with an increased risk of developing stroke. An abnormal time averaged maximum TCD
velocity (>200 cm/sec) in the distal ICA or proximal MCA is associated with a high risk of stroke
(Adams et al, 1992). In the Stroke Prevention (STOP) Trial, children with SCA and an abnormal
TCD who received monthly blood transfusions had significantly fewer strokes than children who
were simply observed (Adams et al, 1998).
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-4 of 1-15
Taken together, these data suggest that chronic organ damage to the brain from sickling
begins early in life. Moreover, therapeutic intervention may help prevent the development of organ
damage to the brain. Even in the absence of overt neurological disease, SCA puts some children
at risk for neuropsychological sequelae including lowered intellectual functioning, academic skills
deficits, impaired fine-motor functioning, and attentional deficits (Bonner et al, 1999).
1.2.4
Lungs
The lungs are also frequent target organs in patients with SCA. Episodes of acute chest
syndrome (ACS, with intrapulmonary sickling) can result in obstructive lung disease with reactive
airways (Leong et al, 1997). However, repeated organ damage from ACS and chronic sickling in
the lungs most frequently leads to a restrictive pattern of lung disease with diminished lung
compliance (Bowen et al, 1991). Recent studies using pulmonary function tests (PFTs) have
suggested that abnormal lung function in SCA may begin in early infancy (Koumbourlis et al, 1997).
1.3
SICKLE CELL ANEMIA AND FETAL HEMOGLOBIN
1.3.1
Fetal Hemoglobin
There is great clinical heterogeneity observed in SCD, even for patients with an identical
hemoglobin phenotype (Platt et al, 1991; Powars, 1991; Seward et al, 1993; Steinberg et al, 1995).
This clinical variation is partly explained by differences in the hemoglobin concentration, mean
cellular hemoglobin concentration, proportion of dense cells, erythrocyte rheology, % adhesive cells,
presence of alpha-thalassemia, and the beta-globin haplotype (Platt et al, 1994; Platt et al, 1991;
Steinberg et al, 1984; Baum et al, 1987; Powars, 1991; Phillips et al,1991; Embury and Steinberg,
1994). The amount of fetal hemoglobin (% HbF) is perhaps the most important parameter
influencing clinical severity in SCA (Charache, 1990). Normal adults have <1% HbF (Wood, 1993),
while patients with SCA have 1-20% HbF (Serjeant, 1975). Patients with hereditary persistence of
fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) can have fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels that reach 30-40% (Wood et al,
1975). Higher % HbF is associated with decreased clinical severity and fewer painful events,
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-5 of 1-15
transfusions, and hospitalizations in sickle cell anemia (Platt et al, 1991; Rucknagel et al, 1987;
Odenheimer et al, 1987). A threshold of 10-20% HbF has been postulated, above which patients
experience fewer clinical events (Powars et al, 1984). The % HbF also predicts early mortality in
patients with SCD (Platt et al, 1994; Leikin et al, 1989).
Except in the case of HPFH, HbF is not found in all erythrocytes, but rather is located in a
subset known as HbF-containing cells or “F cells” (Dover et al, 1978; Boyer et al, 1975). In normal
adults, the percentage of F cells ranges from 0.5% to 7%, while in patients with SCA, the % F cells
has a much broader range (Wood et al, 1975; Dover et al, 1978). Because F cells have a decreased
tendency toward sickle formation, they survive preferentially in the peripheral blood of patients with
SCA (Dover et al, 1978). The number of F cells, therefore, may be of equal or greater importance
than the absolute amount of HbF in influencing the clinical severity of an affected individual with
SCA. F cells can be quantitated accurately by several methods, including immunological staining
of HbF by monoclonal antibodies, followed by enumeration by visual methods (Horiuchi et al, 1995)
or flow cytometry (Dover and Boyer, 1987; Campbell et al, 1999; Marcus et al, 1997).
1.3.2
Physiologic Decline of HbF
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF), the predominant hemoglobin produced in utero, comprises
approximately 80-90% of the total hemoglobin at birth. In normal persons, the % HbF declines to
adult levels during the first year of life (Wood, 1993). For patients with SCA, this physiologic decline
occurs more slowly, and the HbF nadir may not be reached until age 5 years (Mason et al, 1982;
Brown et al, 1994). Clinical events from SCA rarely occur in the first 6 months of life, due primarily
to high HbF levels. Events occur during the first two years of life, however, including splenic
hypofunction (Pearson et al, 1979; Rogers et al, 1982), pneumococcal sepsis (Zarkowsky et al,
1986), splenic sequestration (Topley et al, 1981), dactylitis (Gill et al, 1995), and acute chest
syndrome (Gill et al, 1995). These observations suggest that maintaining high HbF levels might
prevent acute and chronic sickling damage.
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-6 of 1-15
The physiologic decline in % HbF and % F cells in a cohort of infants homozygous for HbSS
between birth and 24 months of age was recently investigated (Marcus and Ware, 1999). The %
HbF was measured by 2-minute alkali denaturation and % F cells by flow cytometry (Marcus et al,
1997). The amount of HbF per F cell was calculated using the formula: (mean corpuscular
hemoglobin) x (% HbF) ] / (% F cells). Over this period of time, the HbF parameters declined in an
exponential fashion (Figure 1-1). At 24 months of age, the average % HbF was 14.6 ± 7.3% and the
% F cells was 64.7 ± 16.9%. The average amount of HbF per F cell fell below 15 pg/cell by age 12
months, confirming data from a previous study (Maier-Redelsperger et al, 1994). Previous in vitro
studies have suggested a threshold value of 15 pg HbF per F cell, below which sickling occurs
(Sunshine et al, 1979; Poillon et al, 1993). These data demonstrate clearly that HbF parameters
decline significantly during the first 1-2 years of life, below levels sufficient to inhibit sickling. These
results support the concept of early pharmacologic intervention for very young children with SCA,
with the intention to increase HbF parameters to levels that inhibit in vivo sickling.
1.4
EFFICACY OF HYDROXYUREA IN SICKLE CELL ANEMIA
1.4.1
Induction of HbF
The pharmacologic enhancement of HbF can be achieved using a variety of agents including
cytotoxic drugs (e.g. 5-azacytidine, hydroxyurea), hematopoietic growth factors (e.g. erythropoietin),
and short chain fatty acids (e.g. butyrate and derivatives). Each of these therapeutic agents has
been shown to have efficacy for increasing the % HbF in patients with sickle cell anemia (Goldberg
et al, 1990; Charache et al, 1992; Perrine et al, 1993; Dover et al, 1994; Charache et al, 1995).
However, side-effects and toxicities vary considerably and no direct comparisons of efficacy have
been reported. Hydroxyurea is a prototypic therapeutic agent due to its efficacy, ease of
administration, and modest toxicity profile.

Page 1-7 of 1-15
1.4.2
Hydroxyurea For Adults With SCA
Hydroxyurea has been tested in adults with sickle cell anemia, and in most patients will
increase both the absolute amount of HbF as well as the number of F cells (Goldberg et al, 1990;
Charache et al, 1992). Charache and co-workers (Charache et al, 1992) reported a mean increase
in HbF of 11% in a Phase I/II study of adults receiving daily HU treatment. In the Multicenter Study
of Hydroxyurea in Sickle Cell Anemia (MSH) Phase III clinical trial (Charache et al, 1995), adult
patients were randomized prospectively either to daily HU or placebo. The study results
demonstrated that HU therapy led to a significant reduction in the annual number of painful events,
episodes of acute chest syndrome, and erythrocyte transfusions (Charache et al, 1995). The mean
increase in % HbF was 8.6%, although the range of HbF responses was substantial and some
patients did not respond, possibly due to either non-compliance or exhaustion of marrow reserves
(Steinberg et al, 1995). Even when compliance was assured, approximately 20% of adults with SCA
did not respond to HU therapy (Rodgers et al, 1990). The primary toxicity of HU therapy was dose-
dependent and reversible bone marrow suppression (Charache et al, 1992; Charache et al, 1995).
1.4.3
Hydroxyurea For Children With SCA
After the Phase I/II adult HU trial was completed, several anecdotal reports suggested that
HU therapy might be beneficial for children with SCA (Jayabose et al, 1996; Scott et al, 1996;
Ferster et al, 1996; de Montalembert et al,1997). To determine the safety and efficacy of HU therapy
for children, investigators from seven institutions administered HU therapy to a total of 84 school-
aged children with SCA in an NHLBI-sponsored Phase I/II clinical protocol (HUG-KIDS). HUG-KIDS
provided convincing evidence that HU therapy is associated with improved hematological
parameters in this younger patient population, including increased % HbF and % F cells (Kinney et
al, 1999). The toxicity profile of HU was mild and included primarily reversible myelosuppression.
Clinical efficacy was not a stated goal of this Phase I/II study, but it was clear that the pediatric
patients with SCA had a less severe acute clinical course while on HU therapy. Based on these
encouraging results in older children, it is reasonable to consider HU therapy for very young children
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-8 of 1-15
with sickle cell anemia, to allow therapeutic intervention before in vivo sickling leads to acute clinical
events and chronic organ damage.
1.4.4
Hydroxyurea For Very Young Children With SCA
A recent report provided short-term data regarding HU therapy for young children with SCA.
Eight children, age 2-5 years, received HU with evidence of both hematological and clinical efficacy,
and with minimal toxicity (Hoppe et al, 2000). To determine the feasibility of HU therapy for very
young children with SCD, a Phase I/II pilot trial (HUSOFT) was recently performed. Children
between age 6-24 months were eligible for enrollment from four institutions, including Duke
University Medical Center, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, University of Texas Southwestern
Medical Center, and Medical College of Wisconsin. A total of 21 completed two years of therapy at
20 mg/kg/day. All patients then on study desired to continue treatment for an additional two years
at 25 and 30 mg/kg/day. Laboratory studies and physical examinations were performed every four
weeks. Patients were closely monitored for toxicities, especially of the blood counts and growth
parameters, and for compliance. Routine testing of the complete blood count, %HbF and %F cells
were used to document hematological efficacy in before-after comparisons and compared to
untreated children with sickle cell anemia. Additional studies included brain MRI/MRA,
neurodevelopmental testing, and liver-spleen scans. Hematological toxicities in HUSOFT were well-
tolerated, and laboratory efficacy was demonstrated (Wang et al, 2001). Recently, follow-up of the
majority of patients from the HUSOFT study who were continued on hydroxyurea treatment for an
additional 2-4 years, showed that these patients tolerate prolonged hydroxyurea therapy with
sustained hematologic benefits, fewer acute chest syndrome events, improved growth, and possibly
preserved organ junction (Hankins et al, 2005).
Preliminary results of clinical efficacy in HUSOFT relate to the potential prevention of chronic
organ damage, specifically the possibility that hydroxyurea can help preserve splenic and renal
function in some infants with SCA (Wang et al, 2001). Splenic function, as evidenced by uptake of
radioactive tracer, was present in eight of 17 HUSOFT children (47%) after two years on study. This
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-9 of 1-15
compares favorably with data from CSSCD (Pearson et al, 1985) that document elevated pitted cell
counts (consistent with functional asplenia) in >80% of children with SCA at the same median age
of 39 months. Renal function was assessed primarily by GFR estimation, calculated using the
formula [(height) x k] divided by (creatinine), as described by Schwartz (Schwartz et al, 1987). The
estimated GFR is normal (100 ± 20 ml/min) in infants with SCA during the first 6-12 months of life,
but quickly rises to 150 ml/min by age 2-4 years and >200 ml/min by age 6-10 years (Wigfall et al,
2000; Kinney et al, 1999; Russell Ware, unpublished observations). Analysis of HUSOFT data
reveal that the estimated GFR was 121 ± 20 ml/min/1.73 m2 at study entry (median age 15 months,
n=28) and 162 ± 43 ml/min/1.73 m2 at study exit (Franca Barton and Russell Ware, unpublished
observations). The absolute change in GFR was strongly associated with change in %HbF (Pearson
coefficient -0.60, p=0.004), suggesting that preservation of HbF can help prevent the elevation of
GFR observed over time in untreated children with sickle cell anemia.
Recently two groups of investigators have presented evidence that hydroxyurea therapy in
children is associated with lower TCD velocities (Zimmerman et al, 2002; Bernaudin et al, 2001).
1.5
TOXICITIES OF HYDROXYUREA THERAPY
1.5.1
Organ Damage
The short-term toxicities of HU for patients with SCA have been carefully studied in two large
Phase I/II trials. In the safety trial for adults with SCA (Charache et al, 1992), the only observed
short-term toxicity was bone marrow depression. Neutropenia was most common (76%), followed
by reticulocytopenia (22%), anemia (4%), and thrombocytopenia (1%). The myelosuppression was
typically mild, dose-dependent, and reversible. In the safety trial (HUG-KIDS) for children with SCA
(Kinney et al, 1999), laboratory toxicity occurred at approximately 8% of the clinic visits. Neutropenia
was the most common hematological toxicity (63%), followed by reticulocytopenia (19%), anemia
(13%), and thrombocytopenia (4%). Hepatic toxicity (>2-fold increase in ALT levels) was observed
at only 0.3% of clinic visits, and was not associated with HU dose or additional medications. No
episodes of renal toxicity were noted, nor other significant clinical adverse events during this
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-10 of 1-15
pediatric HU safety trial. Growth (assessed by height and weight) and development (menarche,
puberty) also were not adversely affected by HU therapy (Kinney et al, 1999).
1.5.2
Neurodevelopmental Effects
There are limited data in children with SCA regarding the effects of HU therapy on
neuropsychological development. Previous small studies of HU therapy for children with SCA did
not report any obvious neurodevelopmental decline. Similarly, the Phase I/II HUG-KIDS pediatric
safety trial did not specifically test for neurodevelopmental progress, although no obvious declines
in neurocognitive function were noted (Kinney et al, 1999). In the HUSOFT infant pilot trial, a subset
of patients had full neurodevelopmental testing both at study entry (median score = 93) and at study
exit (median score = 89). These values were not statistically different by t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum
test (Wang et al, 2001). A recent abstract has suggested that HU therapy is associated with
improvement in neurodevelopmental scores (Bernaudin et al, 1999).
Animal data suggest, however, that HU therapy can be toxic for the developing brain. Almost
thirty years ago, prenatal treatment with HU was found to cause substantial postnatal effects on rats:
perinatal mortality was increased (Fritz and Hess, 1980), weight gain was inhibited (Butcher et al,
1973; Adlard and Dobbing, 1975), locomotor activity was reduced (Fritz and Hess, 1980; Butcher
et al, 1973), and maze learning was impaired (Butcher et al, 1973; Adlard and Dobbing, 1975).
Given early in gestation, HU therapy also can be embryolethal or have embryotoxic effects on the
eyes, face, brain, heart, and limbs (Aliverti et al, 1980). Neuronal cells such as the dorsal root
ganglia may be especially susceptible to impairment of DNA synthesis by HU (Theisen, 1979). A
recent abstract suggests that post-natal HU therapy also impairs weight gain, organ size, and brain
development of rats (Horiuchi et al, 1998). It must be emphasized that all of these studies used
doses of HU up to 1000-2000 mg/kg/day. No studies have documented embryotoxicity or severe
neurodevelopmental toxicity using pharmacologic HU doses (20-40 mg/kg/day). Also, effects of HU
exposure may be considerably different in rats than in primates (Wilson et al, 1975). Differences in
HU plasma levels, half-life clearance, and tissue penetration exist; previous studies suggest that the
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-11 of 1-15
effects on rodents do not accurately reflect the effects of HU in primates (Wilson et al, 1975). Taken
together, the available laboratory and clinical data neither establish nor exclude the possibility that
pharmacologic HU doses in early childhood are related to any marked neurodevelopmental toxicity
for the human brain, although very high doses of HU could be.
1.5.3
Mutagenic And Carcinogenic Potential
Although the short-term toxicities of HU are typically well-tolerated, the long-term risks
associated with HU therapy are unclear. Specifically, the risk of developing leukemia or other
malignancies following HU exposure has not been determined. Hydroxyurea has been shown
experimentally to have clastogenic (Gebhart, 1981; Oppenheimer and Fishbein, 1965), teratogenic
(Murphy and Chaube, 1964; Aliverti et al, 1980) and in some settings mutagenic effects (Ziegler-
Skylakakis et al, 1985), but its potential as a carcinogen at therapeutic doses has not been
established. Since HU is a potent inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase and reduces intracellular
dNTP pools, HU interferes not only with DNA synthesis but also with DNA repair mechanisms
(Snyder, 1984). In vitro, DNA damage that develops either spontaneously or from environmental
mutagens cannot be fully repaired in the presence of HU, leading to the accumulation of somatic
mutations and chromosomal damage (Li and Kaminskas, 1987). These laboratory observations
provide a plausible biochemical mechanism by which in vivo HU therapy could lead to somatic DNA
mutations and eventual carcinogenesis.
The carcinogenic potential of HU therapy has been investigated most carefully in patients
with myeloproliferative disorders (MPD). The Polycythemia Vera Study Group (PVSG) reported a
5.9% incidence of acute leukemia in 51 adults with PV treated with HU (Fruchtman et al, 1994;
Landaw, 1986) compared to 1.5% of historical counterparts who received phlebotomy alone
(p=0.12). Reports of acute leukemia in adults with MPD treated with HU alone (Sedlacek et al, 1986;
Lofvenberg et al, 1990; Holcombe et al, 1991; Weinfeld et al, 1994; Furgeson et al, 1996) have
added concern regarding the long-term leukemogenic potential of HU therapy in this clinical setting.
Recently, large studies have provided some evidence that long-term HU therapy for patients with
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-12 of 1-15
MPD is associated with an increased risk of developing acute leukemia (Najean et al, 1997a;
Sterkers et al, 1998; Najean et al, 1997b). Taken together, these data suggest that hydroxyurea
therapy may have a mutagenic and carcinogenic potential for patients with MPD, especially with
long-term usage.
The carcinogenic potential of HU therapy is not evident in the setting of other hematological
diseases. Sixty-four patients with erythrocytosis secondary to cyanotic congenital heart disease
were treated with HU (mean 5.6 years) and had no cases of secondary malignancy (Triadou et al,
1994). In the United States, some adults with SCA have received HU therapy for over 10 years; no
cases of secondary leukemia from the MSH trial have been observed (Steinberg et al, 1999).
However, anecdotes of malignancy or myelodysplasia in patients with SCA on hydroxyurea therapy
have been reported. These cases need to be evaluated in light of the incidence of cancer in the
African-American population in general, and specifically in patients with SCD.
The incidence of cancer among African-American children in the US is about 11 new cases
per 100,000 children per year (Gurney et al, 1995), of which one-third are leukemia or lymphoma.
The incidence among African-American children under age four years, however, is at least 15 cases
per 100,000 children per year (Gurney et al, 1995), due primarily to leukemia, neuroblastoma, and
Wilms’ tumor (Miller et al, 1993). In the setting of SCA, the incidence of malignancy is not known.
The CSSCD identified 1 child with Wilms’ tumor in the original study period and 14 subsequent
cases of cancer were reported in children and adults with SCD (Dianne Gallagher and Duane Bonds,
unpublished observations). In a large retrospective survey performed by members of the
International Association of Sickle Cell Nurses and Physician Assistants (IASCNAPA), a total of 41
cases of cancer were reported in patients with sickle cell anemia. These cases included children
and adults of all ages, and a wide variety of cancer types were reported (Schultz et al, 1999).

Acquired DNA Mutations In Association With Hydroxyurea Therapy
The inhibitory effects of HU on DNA repair mechanisms could lead to an accumulation of
acquired DNA mutations that eventually could result in malignant transformation. Two in vitro

assays of DNA damage can measure the mutagenic effects of in vitro and in vivo hydroxyurea
exposure: the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) assay that measures the frequency
of mutations at the selectable hprt gene locus (Albertini et al, 1982; O’Neill et al, 1987), and the VDJ
gene locus assays that detect “illegitimate” interlocus recombination events between the T-cell
receptor V( and J$ gene loci within chromosome 7 (Stern et al, 1989; Lipkowitz et al, 1992). Using
these two quantitative assays, the mutagenic effects of in vitro and in vivo hydroxyurea exposure
were measured (Hanft et al, 2000). In vivo HU exposure was not associated with more DNA
mutations in adults with SCD or myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), but was associated with a
suggestively higher numbers of VDJ events in children with SCD (Table 1). These results suggest
that the mutagenic potential of HU exposure is low, and serial studies should be performed in young
SCD patients on HU therapy.

1.6 SUMMARY
Decades of observational data, including landmark studies from the CSSCD, have documented
that sickle cell anemia is a severe, debilitating hematological disorder. The morbidity and mortality
of SCA arise from both acute vaso-occlusive events and chronic organ damage. Protection from
HbF is typically lost in infancy and early childhood, with the physiologic decline of HbF. Accordingly,
____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-1.wpd — 8/09
Page 1-14 of 1-15
therapy designed to prevent chronic organ damage in SCA should be considered early in life.
Hydroxyurea has emerged as an exciting therapeutic agent for patients with SCA, due to its ease
of oral administration, modest toxicity profile, laboratory efficacy with increased %HbF, and clinical
efficacy for acute vaso-occlusive events. The efficacy of HU in preventing chronic organ damage
has not been tested, but data from the pilot HUSOFT trial suggest that HU may help prevent damage
to the spleen and kidneys compared to expectations from the CSSCD and nonrandomized groups
(Wang et al, 2001; Hankins et al, 2005) not given HU. Finally, hematological and
neurodevelopmental toxicities from HU in infants and young children with SCA appear to be mild or
absent. Taken together, the available data make a compelling case for the proposed Phase III trial
of hydroxyurea in very young children (9 through 17 months of age) with SCA, designed to prevent
chronic organ damage.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 2
OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN OF THE TRIAL
2.1
INTRODUCTION
Hydroxyurea (HU) has demonstrated laboratory and clinical efficacy for adults with sickle
cell anemia (SCA). In this patient population, several studies have demonstrated that HU increases
the hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular volume, and fetal hemoglobin (HbF) parameters
including %HbF and % F cells. Toxicities are mild and primarily include transient and reversible
neutropenia. In the Multicenter Study of Hydroxyurea in Sickle Cell Anemia (MSH) clinical trial,
which was an NHLBI-sponsored randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in adults with
SCA, HU reduced the number of acute vaso-occlusive episodes such as painful events and acute
chest syndromes, transfusions, and hospitalizations (Charache et al, 1995).
Pediatric patients with SCA also benefit from HU therapy. A Phase I/II trial (HUG-KIDS)
involving 84 children who were 5-15 years old concluded that HU was well tolerated by pediatric
patients with SCA, and the laboratory effects were similar to those observed in adults (Kinney et
al, 1999). Several smaller studies have further suggested that HU has clinical efficacy in this
younger age group (Hoppe et al, 2000; Bernaudin et al, 1999), and reduces the number of acute
vaso-occlusive events. A pilot trial involving infants and very young children with SCA (HUSOFT)
has provided preliminary data demonstrating that HU is well-tolerated in this very young age group,
with laboratory effects similar to those for older children (Wang et al, 2001; Hankins et al, 2005).
Although HU therapy has emerged as an exciting and efficacious therapeutic agent for
patients with SCA, important issues remain regarding its use, especially for children less than 2
years old. Perhaps the most important issue is whether or not HU therapy can prevent chronic
organ damage secondary to vaso-occlusive sickling. HUSOFT data are suggestive, but not
conclusive, regarding the potential for hydroxyurea to prevent chronic organ damage, specifically
______________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-2.wpd — 8/09
Page 2-2 of 2-10
in the spleen and kidney. Ideally, HU therapy to prevent organ damage would begin early in life,
before repeated sickling events begin to damage the spleen, brain, kidneys, and lungs. Another
important issue regarding HU therapy relates to its mechanism of action, e.g., whether or not HbF
parameters mediate the prevention of chronic organ damage. Finally, there are questions about
the long-term safety of HU administration for young patients with SCA, including its effects on
growth and development, as well as its mutagenic and carcinogenic potential.
At this time, however, there are limited data regarding the toxicities, effects on growth and
development, and occurrence of adverse events in this very young age group (9-17 months).
Moreover, the accurate and reproducible quantitative measurements of splenic and renal function
have not been fully validated. For these reasons, a Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study has been
performed to (1) determine the feasibility of the protocol design, (2) provide additional safety and
toxicity data, and (3) validate the proposed methods of evaluating splenic and renal function.
2.2

DESIGN OF THE TRIAL
2.3.1
Overview of the Trial
This NHLBI- and NICHD-sponsored Phase III therapeutic trial will be a randomized,
placebo-controlled double-blinded study and will involve 14 Clinical Centers, a Medical Coordinating
Center, and eight core laboratories within the United States. The Phase III study will include 200
children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) aged 9-17 months. A Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study has
enrolled 40 children from 12 to 17 months of age. Each child was randomly assigned to either
hydroxyurea or placebo and will receive study treatment for no more than two years (see Figure 2-
1). Selected data from all 40 children in the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study have been presented
to the DSMB and a decision has been made regarding reopening recruitment for the full study.
After the children’s treatment period has ended, they will remain in study follow-up to determine
whether or not there are untoward effects of discontinuing study treatment. After study treatment
ends, renewed consent will be requested for continued follow-up clinic visits for up to five years
after the end of study treatment.
The target dose of hydroxyurea will be 20 mg/kg/day in liquid formulation or equivalent
volumes of placebo. A Medical Coordinating Center and Pharmacy Distribution Center will ensure
that patients and investigators are blinded to the treatment assignments of individual patients. A
battery of laboratory tests and special studies will be performed at entry and exit. Clinical events
(including death, acute chest syndrome, and stroke) and other outcomes will be classified by a
central evaluation panel, blind to treatment assigned and under the direction of the Medical
Coordinating Center. Interim results will be monitored by an NHLBI-appointed Data and Safety
Monitoring Board according to statistical plans outlined in the Protocol (Chapter 4) and elaborated
in a separate document prior to the start of recruitment. Long-term follow-up in an observational
study after study treatment is terminated in BABY HUG is anticipated so that children enrolled in
______________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-2.wpd — 8/09
Page 2-4 of 2-10
BABY HUG will be observed for growth and safety outcomes for at least five years, if resources for
the follow-up can be obtained.
2.3.2
The Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study
The 40 children enrolled in the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study will be on study treatment
for two years. The DSMB authorized immediately continuing recruitment for the remaining 160
children in the full Phase III BABY HUG Clinical Trial. The anticipated recruitment and follow-up
periods are presented in Figure 2-1. The Primary Aims of the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study
were:
1.
To determine the feasibility of BABY HUG in terms of recruitment, follow-up,
adherence to study treatment, and compliance with the study schedule of
procedures;
2.
To assess hydroxyurea toxicity, effect on growth and development, and occurrence
of severe/unexpected adverse events;
3.
To establish the distribution and inter-observer and intra-observer variability of
spleen function based on dual, independent readings of liver-spleen scans;
4.
To evaluate the validity and variability of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as
estimated by serum creatinine and height (the Schwartz formula) compared with a
“gold standard” such as DTPA clearance; and,
5.
To assess some pharmacokinetic parameters of hydroxyurea in the BABY HUG age
group.
At study entry, plasma specimens for pharmacokinetics were collected from the blood
collected as part of the radionuclide (DTPA) study (at 1, 2 and 4 hours following radionuclide
injection), in addition to plasma specimens collected at time 0 and 8 hours from the start of the test.
After counting radioactivity in the plasma for the renal function study, the plasma from each
specimen was saved, frozen (-70° C) for at least a month (well after all radiation decays) and
shipped on dry ice for pharmacokinetic evaluations. The 8-hour specimen was collected after the
______________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-2.wpd — 8/09
Page 2-5 of 2-10
DTPA study and was handled similarly to the other four specimens. Measurements of hydroxyurea
levels were made on specimens from all 40 children in a commercial laboratory recommended by
the manufacturer for regulatory purposes. Children assigned to placebo were also tested for DTPA
according to the same schedule; their plasma was prepared and shipped for HU determination just
as the HU-assigned specimens.
The DSMB Chair, Executive Secretary of DSMB, the NHLBI Project Officer and the Steering
Committee reviewed monthly and semi-annual Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study reports including

Executive Secretary of the DSMB, and the NHLBI Project Officer.
Based on individual patient and group safety monitoring reviews, the Executive Secretary
of the DSMB, the NHLBI Project Officer and/or DSMB Chair could recommend full DSMB review
or individual treatment interruptions. All individuals whose treatment was interrupted continued to
be monitored. There were monthly reviews of accumulating data.
If height, weight, or Bayley scores were worse among children assigned to HU than children
assigned to placebo through the early months (at least three) of randomized study treatment, the
DSMB could have recommended to the NHLBI that the full Phase III trial not proceed in children
less than 18 months of age. If serious adverse events (e.g., death, stroke, or splenic sequestration)
were more frequent among children assigned to HU than among children assigned to placebo, to
a greater degree than could be expected by chance, the DSMB could have recommended to the
NHLBI that the study be discontinued. If spleen function according to liver-spleen scan readings
______________________________________________________________________________

was absent at entry for more than 40% of the children enrolled, the DSMB could have
recommended to the NHLBI to re-design the primary outcome or other features of the study design
(e.g., eligibility criteria) as necessary. See Chapter 4 for detailed study stopping rules.
2.4

The primary endpoints are chronic organ damage to the spleen and kidney.
a.
Spleen -- organ damage will be defined as decrease or loss of radionuclide
99mTc uptake (relative to the liver) at 2 years from baseline; and,

2.5
SAFETY MONITORING
1.
Individual patients will be monitored according to routine hematology and
biochemistry parameters (see Section 6.5). Patients will have treatment
interruptions if any of the following occur:
a.
a “toxicity” level, as defined in Chapter 10;
b.
the DSMB confirms a central review recommendation that a decline across
two major percentile lines, or drop below the 1.5th percentile on age-specific
standard growth curves based on confirmed measurements in height, or
weight or head circumference growth warrants a treatment interruption
(central reviewers for this aspect of the study are two physicians who are not
seeing patients and are not associated with any of the Clinical Centers);
c.
Bayley standardized Mental score that falls to < 70 (confirmed on repeat
evaluation within three months); or
d.
clinical stroke, or failure of head circumference to increase according to
normal growth curves.
Treatment will not be terminated unless a toxicity condition persists or therapy that
contraindicates study treatment – such as chronic transfusion – is initiated, to allow
the determination of primary, secondary and safety endpoints in that patient.
Children whose treatment is terminated, whether assigned to hydroxyurea or
placebo will complete as much follow-up in BABY HUG as possible (e.g., all primary
endpoint assessments and growth and development assessments will be expected).
______________________________________________________________________________

Page 2-9 of 2-10
2.
Group comparisons between hydroxyurea-assigned patients and placebo-assigned
patients will be included in semi-annual reviews of the data by the Data and Safety
Monitoring Board (see Section 4.4). These reviews will include all secondary and
safety endpoints defined in the study. Safety comparisons and inferences based on
them will be discussed by the DSMB as data accrue in the study.
3.
Monitoring for unanticipated adverse clinical effects will be done using adverse
event (AE) forms that will be submitted to the Medical Coordinating Center (MCC)
and tabulated based on the affected organ system. A central review group
(consisting of two pediatric hematologists with expertise in sickle cell disease and
without association with the Clinical Centers) will designate each event as serious
or non-serious. Each suspected serious AE (SAE) will be reported to the MCC
within 24 hours of the event. MCC staff will immediately review the material and
forward it to the central review group. If the central review group finds that an event
is serious, MCC staff will send the information to the NHLBI and NICHD Project
Officers for review. The NHLBI Project Officer will forward the information to the
FDA. The Clinical Centers will report the occurrence of serious AEs that occur at
their institution according to the requirements of their local IRB. Further plans for
adverse event detection and assessment are in Sections 4.3, 4.4 and Chapter 8.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 3
PATIENT ELIGIBILITY, RECRUITMENT, ORIENTATION, AND INFORMED CONSENT
3.1
INTRODUCTION
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether hydroxyurea administration can
prevent organ damage commonly found in young children with sickle cell anemia. This will be
accomplished by the administration of hydroxyurea or placebo to a group of very young children
with sickle cell anemia (or sickle beta zero thalassemia) at an age before extensive organ damage
has usually occurred. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either hydroxyurea or placebo.
Investigators and patients/parents will be blinded to treatment assignments.
Parents (or guardians) of the first forty patients enrolled were informed that they were
participating in a Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study -- randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-
blind -- testing oral hydroxyurea for the prevention of primary end organ damage (spleen and
kidney) in children with sickle cell anemia 12 through 17 months of age at entry. The DSMB has
authorized additional recruitment after the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study without an interim wait.
All families will be informed that their renewed agreement will be sought at the end of treatment for
five years or up to ten years of follow-up clinical visits. Primary aims of the Feasibility and Safety
Pilot Study are outlined in Section 2.3.
The end-organ damage found in sickle cell anemia is not uniform in time of onset or
distribution across organs. While all organs and systems may ultimately be affected, the timing and
severity of organ damage is variable. For example, damage to the spleen and brain is known to
begin early in life, while that affecting the bones and eyes occurs later. An additional 160 patients
from 9 months through 17 months of age will be enrolled, before the frequency of extensive organ
damage is high. However, even at that young age, some children will already have early evidence
of disease-specific organ damage.

Care will be taken to avoid coercion of this vulnerable population of parents of children with
sickle cell anemia. Many of these parents will be young, some single heads of households, some
limited in English language skills, and some may have highly constrained financial resources.
Patient/Family advocates have been identified at each Clinical Center to advise families
independently of any discussions with study investigators or health care providers (see Exhibit 3-1).
The services of these advocates will be supported from study resources. Documentation of
thorough review of the study and consent form with a Patient/Family Advocate will be required of
each family enrolling a child in BABY HUG. The consent form will be appropriately worded and
available in translation as needed at individual Clinical Centers. Clinical Center Principal
Investigators and staff will be sensitive to the need to diminish the burdens of the study on patients
and families without compromising safety; funds will be provided to families for the purpose of
removing barriers to participation rather than being inducements for enrolling dependent children
to provide experimental observations.
3.2
INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA
3.2.1
Inclusion Criteria
•
Children with majority fetal and sickle (FS or SF) hemoglobin pattern confirmed centrally by
electrophoresis, who are 9 through 17 months of age, and whose parents have provided written
informed consent can be eligible for BABY HUG. Patient screening may begin at 7 months of age.
•
For the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study, eligible children were enrolled between 12 and
17 months (up to 18 months) of age. The age range of organ damage onset is usually between six
and 23 months of age. Children less than nine months of age will be excluded from BABY HUG
due to potential toxicity concerns; nine to twelve-month old children were excluded until a final
safety analysis (April, 2005) was performed on the 12-17 month old children enrolled in the
Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study; enrollment of 18-23 month old children will not be allowed in
BABY HUG.

3.3
RECRUITMENT
The 14 BABY HUG Clinical Centers will have an active recruitment phase designed to enroll
patients into the BABY HUG study. Each Clinical Center will draw upon its own patient rosters for
potential patients, as well as additional local patients who fall within its catchment area. Patients
who are not normally followed at a Clinical Center will still be eligible for enrollment. Publicity for
the sickle cell community and physicians concerning the BABY HUG study will occur at each
Clinical Center according to local needs and will be at the discretion of the Principal Investigator
with appropriate Institutional Review Board, NICHD and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
approval. The BABY HUG study will have a quarterly newsletter for patient families which may also
be used for recruitment.
Potentially eligible children will be identified by the Clinical Center staff. It is anticipated that
most eligible children will be known to the Clinical Centers through referrals after identification
through newborn screening programs. All potential study patients’ families will be referred to
independent, Patient/Family advocates who are not otherwise involved in BABY HUG or in
providing health care to these children or their families (see Section 3.7). Parents (or guardians)
will receive information on BABY HUG after they have been provided education about sickle cell
anemia. Chart review and initial visits will be used to exclude children who would not be eligible
for BABY HUG.

Page 3-5 of 3-9
For the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study, children began to be evaluated for eligibility as
early as 10 months of age in anticipation that they would qualify for the study in two months. No
child was randomized prior to his/her first birthday. For the main study, children may begin to be
evaluated for eligibility as early as 7 months of age, with randomization occurring no earlier than
9 months of age.
3.4
PARENT/GUARDIAN ORIENTATION
The experience with hydroxyurea will be presented, including evidence of clinical benefit
in adults and apparent safety in children above one year of age.
Known risks will be described in detail along with the fact that relatively little is known about
drug effects in this age group. A list of the known and possible risks (including possible malignancy
or growth retardation which are not definitely known to be risks of HU) will be provided to families.
The Protocol and related issues will be discussed in detail and a copy of the consent form
provided to the parents or guardians to consider at home. Parents (or guardians) will be given a
list of baseline evaluations that must be completed prior to study entry (see Appendix B), and an
explanation that children who do not complete the baseline evaluations cannot enroll in BABY HUG.
They will then be provided with a list of procedures that will be required after they enroll their child
in BABY HUG (see Appendix B). Explanations of these procedures will include the risk of radiation
exposure associated with the radionuclide kidney function test and the liver-spleen scan. Finally,
parents (or guardians) will meet with assigned independent Patient/Family advocates to discuss
making a decision whether or not to enroll their child in BABY HUG.
Parents (or guardians) will be informed that their child’s participation in BABY HUG and their
child’s treatment, which will be made known to them at the end of the last-enrolled child’s treatment
in the study (along with study conclusions), should be noted in their child’s medical record. This
information should be provided by the parents (or guardians) to all doctors taking care of their child.
At the start of each child’s long-term follow-up, the parents (or guardians) will be contacted for
_____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-3.wpd — 8/09
Page 3-6 of 3-9
permission to examine their children for up to five to ten years to learn about any long term effects
the study treatment may have.
Parents (or guardians) who express interest in BABY HUG will be advised of the importance
of adherence with study visits and procedures. Evidence of compliance with clinic visits and of
compliance with standard care for sickle cell anemia such as prophylactic penicillin administration
(see Section 8.3) will be documented in BABY HUG. Study personnel will use this information to
estimate the family’s likelihood of complying with study requirements.
3.5
BASELINE ASSESSMENT
The children of those parents who express interest in participation will undergo the pre-
enrollment studies listed in this section. Children who are unable to complete baseline evaluations
will not be enrolled in BABY HUG. After obtaining informed consent (see attachment to this
chapter) from the parent or guardian, baseline studies will be performed before randomization and
enrollment. Baseline assessment includes:
•
Directed history and physical examination (including neurological evaluation)
•
Hemoglobin electrophoresis
•
Complete blood count and other baseline blood determinations
•
Urinalysis, including urine concentrating ability
•
Anthropometry: Height, weight and head circumference
•
Neuropsychological evaluation and parent questionnaire
•
Liver-spleen scan
•
Abdominal sonogram (for gallstones, spleen size and kidney size)
•
Transcranial doppler measurements (interpretable study not required, but confirmed velocity
>200 cm/sec results in ineligibility)
Renal DTPA clearance studies will be evaluated after the first dose of medication is given
(i.e., after randomization) for all children enrolling in BABY HUG.
_____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-3.wpd — 8/09
Page 3-7 of 3-9
Children whose hemoglobin electrophoresis does not document an FS or SF pattern will not
be eligible for BABY HUG. Any serious medical problems unrelated to sickle cell anemia, for
example, leukemia or cerebral palsy or mental retardation, identified in the course of pre-enrollment
evaluations (e.g., history and physical examination, complete blood counts, neuropsychological
evaluations) will result in referral for appropriate medical care and ineligibility for BABY HUG.
3.6
INFORMED CONSENT
Individual Clinical Center consent forms will be prepared based on a model informed
consent approved by the Data and Safety Monitoring Board. Recruitment brochures (including the
BABY HUG study quarterly newsletter) or advertisements, consent forms and the Protocol will be
submitted for approval by local Institutional Review Boards. Each final consent form will be
reviewed by a member of the BABY HUG Data and Safety Monitoring Board (See Section 13.3) to
ensure all appropriate issues are addressed. Patient/Family advocates have been identified at
each Clinical Center to advise families independently of any discussions they have with study
investigators or health care providers.
The Clinical Center Principal Investigator will obtain the consent from each family. If both
parents are reasonably available and responsible for the child, they will both be asked for signed,
informed consent. Copies of the signed consent form will be given to the parents (or guardians)
and placed on the child’s medical record. The original will be maintained in study files by the
Principal Investigator.
3.7
PATIENT/FAMILY ADVOCATES
Each BABY HUG Clinical Center will develop a plan to have a third party person
(Patient/Family advocate) involved in the consent process to eliminate any coercion, in particular
because of the vulnerable study population. Some BABY HUG Clinical Center Institutional Review
Boards employ a full time staff to function in this capacity. The Patient/Family advocate role
focuses on ensuring that systems are in place and working effectively to minimize research-related
_____________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-3.wpd — 8/09
Page 3-8 of 3-9
risks experienced by patients and families, addressing concerns or complaints that arise from
treatment or research, and facilitating resolution of substantive issues that could have negative
impacts on patient/family understanding of and participation in research (see Exhibit 3-1). The
Patient/Family advocate acts as an impartial advocate to ensure that patients/families are treated
fairly and equitably, are directed to appropriate resources within the institution for resolution of non-
clinical, operational problems and are assisted in their communication with all Clinical Center staff.
The Patient/Family advocate is responsible for appropriately collaborating with all internal and
external resources required to bring closure to the issues presented. Meeting(s) with the
Patient/Family advocate will be documented for each child enrolling in BABY HUG.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 4
STUDY ENDPOINTS
4.1
INTRODUCTION
The primary objective of Pediatric Hydroxyurea Phase III Clinical Trial (BABY HUG) is to
determine the safety and effectiveness of hydroxyurea (HU) in the prevention of chronic end organ
injury occurring among sickle cell anemia patients who are 9 through 17 months of age at the time
of study entry. A Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study initiated BABY HUG recruitment with 40 patients
12 through 17 months of age to (1) determine the feasibility of the protocol design, (2) provide
additional safety and toxicity data, and (3) validate the proposed methods of quantitating splenic
and renal function. This initial group was studied intensively and monitored closely. The DSMB
has recommended that 160 additional participants be enrolled in BABY HUG for a total of 200
patients in the full Phase III trial. The primary analysis in the full study will compare the frequency
of worsening of spleen function (from normal to decreased or absent, or from decreased to absent)
as measured by splenic uptake on a technetium -99m sulfur colloid liver-spleen scan at two years
of follow-up after study entry in patients randomly assigned to treatment with hydroxyurea versus
those assigned to placebo. Data monitoring analyses are scheduled every six months from the
start of enrollment in the study.
The analysis of the primary study outcomes of the full Phase III trial will be conducted on
an "intention to treat" basis, with two-sided statistical tests comparing the outcome between groups
of patients defined at study entry by random assignment to the hydroxyurea and placebo groups.
Blinding of outcomes in the primary analysis is protected by use of placebo, standardized methods
for performance of spleen scintigraphy studies in nuclear medicine departments not otherwise
involved in the BABY HUG, and blinded central reading of spleen scans by nuclear medicine
specialists not otherwise involved in BABY HUG. There will be more than 90% power to detect a
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-2 of 4-37
50% reduction in the incidence of categorical worsening of spleen function, if 60% or more of
patients assigned to placebo experience categorical worsening of spleen function (80% are
expected to experience this effect by 3 to 4 years of age). A more detailed presentation of
anticipated analyses is provided in Sections 4.4 through 4.7.
4.2
PRIMARY ENDPOINTS
4.2.1
Spleen Scintigraphy
The spleen is damaged early in life in a large percentage of children with sickle cell anemia
or sickle beta zero thalassemia. The consequences of splenic injury -- episodes of splenic
sequestration and invasive pneumococcal infection -- are clinically significant and quantifiable.
These clinical events will not form the spleen endpoint per se, but will be evaluated along with other
clinical events during the course of the study.
Nearly 40 years ago it was recognized that young children with sickle cell anemia were at
high risk of bacteremia with encapsulated organisms, and that the consequence of those invasive
infections was often fatal septicemia. This susceptibility was attributed to splenic dysfunction, and
indeed many of these young children had Howell-Jolly bodies on their peripheral blood smears;
however, on clinical examination these patients also often had palpable, enlarged spleens. Thus
the concept of functional asplenia, in which a palpable, enlarged spleen did not function normally,
was developed or invoked to explain the clinical observation in children with sickle cell disease
(Pearson et al, 1969). The standard procedure used to detect functional asplenia is the 99mTc
sulfur-colloid liver-spleen scan. Liver-spleen scans are available in all participating BABY HUG
institutions and their performance in each center is well standardized. Pediatric hematologists are
aware that spleen function declines with age in infants and toddlers with sickle cell anemia;
however, there are no good data on the cross sectional frequency or rate of loss of splenic uptake
of 99mTc sulfur colloid at a given age in young patients with sickle cell anemia.
The Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD), a National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute (NHLBI) - sponsored observational study that has been responsible for documenting the
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-3 of 4-37
clinical course of sickle cell disease in the U.S., examined pitted cell counts and liver-spleen scans
in a cross-sectional cohort of 8 to 13 month old patients. Pearson (Pearson et al, 1985) reported
that by 8 to 13 months of age, 23% of infants with HbSS had absent and 8% had decreased splenic
uptake of 99mTc sulfur-colloid on liver-spleen scan indicating functional asplenia. Decreased or
absent visualization of the spleen on liver-spleen scan correlated with a pitted cell count over 3.5%
in this group of young children with sickle cell disease.
Spleen function will be assessed by uptake of 99mTc sulfur colloid on liver-spleen scan before
initiation of treatment and 2 years later. The results of each of the two scans will be categorized
as normal, functional but abnormal, or not functional by a panel of nuclear medicine specialists
blinded to treatment assignment. In HUSOFT, the intra-observer agreement on re-reading scans
was over 90% (33/36 scan readings) (Rogers, unpublished observations). The difference between
the HU and placebo groups in the proportion of patients worsening in spleen function over the study
period will be tested.
The CSSCD further examined spleen function by serial performance of pitted cell counts.
Their data indicated that by one year of age pitted cell count values over 3.5%, which are
associated with absent visualization on liver-spleen scan, occurred in 28% of SCA patients, by 18
months 44%, by 24 months 58%, by 36 months 78%, and by 48 months 89% of SCA patients.
They concluded that the average age of onset of a pitted cell count greater than 2% but less than
3.5%, i.e., impaired spleen function, was 13 months and could be as early as 5 months (Pearson
et al, 1985). Thus, up to one-third of enrolled children could be unassessable for worsening of
spleen function (will have absent spleen function at entry).
At entry into the HUSOFT pilot trial, liver-spleen scans showed absent uptake in 24% of
patients at entry (mean age 15 months). After 2 years on HU (mean age 39 months) 47% of the
scans were interpreted as demonstrating absent uptake (functional asplenia). Since the CSSCD
pitted cell count data suggest that functional asplenia should have been present in 34% of patients
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-4 of 4-37
at entry and 80% at exit, HUSOFT suggests a possible spleen protection benefit compared to
untreated patients (Pearson et al, 1985; Wang et al, 2001; Hankins et al, 2005).
Therapy with hydroxyurea, however, may alter the ability of the pitted cell count to
accurately reflect spleen function. A longer red cell life span (which may be expected to occur
when fetal hemoglobin rises and intravascular hemolysis decreases during hydroxyurea therapy)
will likely increase the pitted cell counts. Elevated levels of fetal hemoglobin may increase the rate
of endocytosis, and thereby also increase the pitted cell counts. Conversely, preservation of spleen
function while on HU therapy could maintain low pitted cell counts. Restoration of splenic function
on HU therapy, analogous to the effect observed on chronic transfusion therapy, would be expected
to decrease the pitted cell counts (Sills et al, 1988; Lane et al, 1996).
The entry and exit 99mTc sulfur colloid liver-spleen scans will be individually read by a panel
of three radiologists not involved in the acquisition of the images. Scans will be categorized as
showing normal, decreased, or absent spleen function, and then will be compared for change. In
the unlikely event of an apparent increase in splenic uptake of sulfur colloid, splenic function will
be counted as stable. The proportion of patients whose paired scans demonstrate a decline in
splenic function will be compared in the HU versus placebo groups. Statistical power to detect
differences that are 50% (relative) or greater in the incidence of worsening of spleen function should
be good to excellent, in view of the fact that over 80% of children with sickle cell anemia would be
expected to lose splenic function completely by the end of the treatment period (Pearson, 1988).
Scintigraphic assessment of splenic function is one of the two primary endpoints of BABY HUG.
In a recent publication (Santos et al, 2002) on splenic function in older children (none in the
BABY HUG age range) treated with hydroxyurea for sickle cell anemia, semi-quantitative analyses
using spleen/liver ratios were conducted. However, only two of 21 (9.5%) patients in this before-
after comparison showed large degrees of improvement, and one showed a large degree of
deterioration. Small differences that were interpreted as improvement could be random noise. In
HUSOFT, only one of 17 (5.9%) patients (most in the BABY HUG age range) had improved spleen
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-5 of 4-37
function in a before-after assessment of hydroxyurea therapy. To evaluate the potential for splenic
function improvement in BABY HUG, a blinded review of spleen function will be made in the BABY
HUG study.
Tables 4-1 and 4-2 show the power to detect a difference between categories of a
trichotomous endpoint for varying levels of treatment and placebo patient improvement rates (in
increments of 0.05) that are possible given the placebo incidence rate; the calculations in Table 4-1
assume a placebo incidence rate of worsening spleen function of 80/100 patients (see Section
4.4.3) over the course of two years whereas Table 4-2 is based on 60/100 (see Section 4.4.1.5).
The boldface line in each table denotes the power “break-even” point between the dichotomous
endpoint (assuming 20% of the patients have no spleen function at study entry and thus cannot
worsen) and the ordinal endpoint. For example, in the current study design with a dichotomous
endpoint, we have 96.8% power to detect a difference between the two categories (assuming a
placebo incidence rate of 0.60 and 80 patients in each group). Thus, the boldface line in Table 4-2
is drawn along the 96.8% power continuum. For all treatment/placebo improvement rate
combinations to the left of the line, the dichotomous endpoint will provide greater power; for all
combinations to the right of the line, the ordinal endpoint will provide greater power.

Both tables indicate that, in general, high rates of splenic function improvement are needed
before the ordinal endpoint provides greater power than the dichotomous endpoint. Both endpoint
types have high power (> 99%) when the placebo improvement rate is low and the placebo
incidence rate is high. However, in general, an ordinal endpoint for BABY HUG would have less
power than a dichotomous endpoint unless at least 20% of patients have improved spleen function.
At the end of the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study, it was determined that the spleen endpoint will
be kept dichotomous as currently described in the Protocol. The ordinal spleen endpoint will be
included as a secondary outcome.
Kidney - Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
This endpoint has been removed as of May 29, 2009.
4.3
SECONDARY AND SAFETY ENDPOINTS
4.3.1
Central Nervous System
In addition to potential HU toxicity or protection of brain development, CNS infarction may
occur during this study period and this will affect outcome. In the CSSCD, at the time of first CNS
evaluation (around 6 years of age), 5% of children with HbSS disease had experienced a clinical
CVA (Armstrong et al, 1996; Moser et al, 1996). Other CSSCD findings related to stroke suggest
that the first clinical CVA may occur by 2-3 years of age (Ohene-Frempong, 1991). Evaluation of
neurodevelopmental functioning will help determine whether HU (a) increases developmental risk,
either through an increase in the occurrence of CNS infarction or some other pathophysiologic
process (e.g., vascular formation and function, metabolic activity, hypoxia; Brown et al, 1993), (b)
decreases infarction risk, or c) has no effect on CNS development. These evaluations are
particularly sensitive to a child’s neurodevelopmental course during the first years of life. They make
comparisons based on normative motor (gross motor and fine motor) and language and verbal skill
development during the first 3.5 years of life, and these discriminate between children with disease
progression and those with no disease progression (Gay et al, 1995).

SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-9 of 4-37
Neurological examinations and neuropsychologic evaluations with Bayley and Vineland
tests will be performed annually, and compared between treatment groups as part of early and
ongoing monitoring as well as for the 2-year outcome. Head circumference measurements will be
performed quarterly and compared to a normal black population (Pivnick et al, 1999).
4.3.2
Spleen
99mTc sulfur-colloid liver-spleen scans provide significant information about spleen function
but, since they involve radionuclide exposure, cannot be repeated frequently. During the process
of aging, the red cell membrane forms vacuoles, which appear on the surface of the cell as “pits”
under Nomarski optics. Pitted or pocked red cells are removed from the circulation by splenic
macrophages. Thus the percentage of red cells with pits increases as splenic function declines
(Pearson et al, 1985). Pearson reported that pit counts >3.5% correlated with nonvisualization of
the spleen on liver-spleen scan (Pearson et al, 1969). Thus, serial pitted cell counts can
theoretically serve as a surrogate for liver-spleen scan determinations of splenic function in the
most patients with sickle cell anemia. However the cumulative effect of hydroxyurea therapy on
pitted cell counts is not known.
Pitted cell counts are performed as follows: One drop of EDTA anticoagulated fresh venous
blood is fixed in 0.5 ml of isotonic 1% buffered glutaraldehyde. One thousand cells are counted
under Nomarski differential interference contrast microscopy and scored for percentage of pitted
cells by an experienced technologist. The test should be performed in a laboratory with
demonstrated long term interest and expertise in order to assure that the numerical values at the
end of the study can be compared to those at the start.
Entry, exit and interim pitted cell counts will be compared. Statistical models will be used
to compare entry and exit values and test for trends. In this manner we may be able to validate the
use of the pitted cell count, which is less invasive than the liver-spleen scan, to assess splenic
function during hydroxyurea therapy. The proportion of patients in the HU treatment group
compared to the placebo treated group with pitted cell counts above predetermined thresholds will
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-10 of 4-37
be a secondary outcome measure in BABY HUG.
4.3.3
Kidney Function and Bladder Control
Proteinuria occurs in 6.2% of children with sickle cell anemia, and the rate increases with
age (Wigfall et al, 2000). Microalbuminuria is an early marker of other nephropathies, and occurs
in 26.5% of children with sickle cell anemia (Darnidharka et al, 1998); however, it was not detected
in children under 7 years of age in the only reported study in children. Ultrasound imaging of the
kidneys often reveals increased size and echogenicity (Miller, unpublished observations). Normal
kidneys increase from approximately 6 to 8 cm in length over the first 4 years of life; in infants with
a single functioning kidney, hypertrophy results in a length of 10 cm by the age of 3-4 yr. (Laufer
and Griscom, 1971).
Not only is renal failure a significant problem in adults with sickle cell anemia, the problem
of enuresis and/or nocturia is nearly ubiquitous in children with sickle cell anemia, and is
embarrassing and inconvenient. The CSSCD documented nocturia in 58% of 6 year-olds, and
enuresis in 58% (75% of males). Forty-one percent of males remained enuretic at age 12 years.
In comparison, 75% of normal children have nocturnal bladder control by 4 years of age (Rudolph
and Kamei, 1998). Treatment of enuresis is often ineffective. Enuresis is related to loss of ability
to concentrate urine. Enrolled patients’ urine concentration will be evaluated by measuring urine
and serum osmolality, after overnight and early AM withholding of water at baseline (prior to
random treatment assignment) and at the end of study treatment (e.g., this could be incidentally
accomplished when the children are NPO for abdominal sonogram studies). Urine and sera will
be shipped to the Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory for measurement of the urine
osmolality (mOsml/kg water), and serum osmolality and creatinine (LaPorte-Wijsman and Struyker-
Boudier, 1967). Specific gravity will be measured locally at the Clinical Center on routine
urinanalysis.

4.3.4
Abdominal Sonogram
Although hepatomegaly commonly occurs in infants and young children with sickle cell
anemia and some patients have total indirect bilirubin levels in excess of that attributable solely to
hemolysis (recently attributed to mutations of the glucuronosyl transferase gene), hepatic
dysfunction, as detected by direct hyperbilirubinemia, elevation of liver specific enzymes (ALT),
hypoalbuminemia, or coagulopathy, is rare; in fact if it occurs, other causes must be carefully
sought. However, as with most chronic hemolytic disorders, cholelithiasis is common in sickle cell
anemia. Bilirubinate pigment stones have recently been estimated to occur in 14% of children by
age 10 years. However, an early study using only radiography found gallstones in 17% of children
under the age of ten (Schubert, 1986; Stephens and Scott, 1980). Only about 50% of pigment
stones are radio-opaque, suggesting that there may have been a much higher incidence of stones
in this early series. While often stones are asymptomatic, cholecystectomy is nonetheless a
common elective surgical procedure in individuals with sickle cell anemia and sometimes must be
performed urgently (Vichinsky et al, 1995). Common duct obstruction is a common and morbid
complication of cholelithiasis. Cholelithiasis is best diagnosed by ultrasonography (Sarnaik et al,
1980). Hydroxyurea therapy, by increasing total and fetal hemoglobin and reducing hemolysis,
might reduce the incidence of gallstones.
Abdominal ultrasonography techniques will visualize the kidneys and right upper quadrant,
and sonograms can be read centrally with attention to presence or absence of gallstones or sludge,
the presence or absence of gall bladder thickening or duct dilation, renal volume and echogenicity,
liver enlargement and spleen volume and size.
4.3.5
Pulmonary
The pulmonary system is adversely affected by SCA, in particular because of the
phenomenon of the acute chest syndrome (ACS). There is evidence that the development of
chronic lung disease in adults with SCA is associated with recurrent episodes of ACS (Santoli et
al, 1998). Several methods have been used to assess pulmonary function in patients with SCA,
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-12 of 4-37
including transcutaneous pulse-oximetry. The progression of pulmonary dysfunction in SCA may
be assessed with pulse oximetry, which measures hemoglobin oxygen saturation transcutaneously.
Although there are some methodologic problems with its use in sickle cell anemia due to abnormal
hemoglobin oxygen half-saturation (P-50) in HbSS patients, this non-invasive, inexpensive
technique has been the most widely studied method in SCA. In a study of 108 children with SCA,
those with histories of ACS had lower saturations (mean = 94%) than those without a history of
ACS (mean = 98%) (Rackoff et al, 1993). Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry will be measured
at entry and every three months.
4.3.6
Anthropometry
Standing or sitting weight will be measured at every clinic visit (see Appendix E).
Recumbent length (standing height after 18 months of age) and head circumference (see Appendix
E) will be obtained quarterly. These measurements will be checked for quality with longitudinal data
analysis methods and compared between treatment groups using t-tests and longitudinal data
analysis.
4.3.7
Chromosome Analysis
Karyotype and chromosome breakage studies will be performed to determine whether or
not hydroxyurea is clastogenic in children. Hydroxyurea has been clastogenic in onion root tips and
alters mouse testicular kinetics and sperm chromosome structure, but it is not certain whether
hydroxyurea is clastogenic in humans (Evenson and Jost, 1993).
4.3.8
Acquired DNA Mutations
Mutation events will be evaluated centrally in a defined DNA model to determine whether
or not hydroxyurea is mutagenic. The mutagenicity of hydroxyurea is controversial. Mutation
analyses will be performed for illegitimate T cell receptor (VDJ) recombinations in the Mutation
Analysis Core Laboratory at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

4.3.9
Immune Function
Because hydroxyurea has the capacity both to suppress immune response and to alter
spleen function, it is of interest to observe directly the effect of hydroxyurea on antibody formation
and on immune cell populations. To this purpose, specific antibody titers and opsonization assays
before and after measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) immunization and conjugate pneumococcal
immunization will be compared between the treatment groups. Also, T-cell subpopulations will be
evaluated by flow cytometry.
4.3.10 Clinical Events
All patients will be monitored for the occurrence and severity of clinical events. These will
be identified through the use of standardized history questions administered at each clinical
encounter. At each visit, parents will be asked to describe any illnesses experienced since the last
visit. If illness is reported, a directed history will be obtained to allow its characterization. All events
will be reported utilizing standardized definitions (See Appendix F) on an Events Form.
Documentation (discharge summaries, clinic/emergency department records, local laboratory
values or radiology reports) for all fatal or life threatening events will be collected by Clinical Center
staff for review. Events of interest include bacteremia with known pathogens, meningitis, splenic
sequestration, acute chest syndrome, stroke or transient ischemic attacks, osteomyelitis, all hospital
admissions and any event for which the patient receives a transfusion. Selected events and
supporting documentation collected by Clinical Center staff will be reviewed centrally by two
pediatric hematologists who are not involved in the BABY HUG Clinical Center.
Pain (Platt et al, 1991) and acute chest syndrome (Castro et al, 1994) are the most frequent
complications of sickle cell disease and most frequent causes of hospitalization. In addition to
causing substantial morbidity, both have been associated with early death (Platt et al, 1994), and
acute chest syndrome has been associated both with chronic sickle cell lung disease (Powars et
al, 1988), a major cause of morbidity in adults, and also with increased risk of infarctive stroke
(Ohene-Frempong et al, 1998). One of the earliest clinical manifestations of sickle cell disease,
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-14 of 4-37
dactylitis, is associated with adverse clinical outcomes later in childhood in the Jamaican cohort
(Stevens et al, 1981), and recently early onset of dactylitis was associated with an increased risk
of death, stroke, or recurrent pain and acute chest syndrome later in childhood in the Cooperative
Study of Sickle Cell Disease (Miller et al, 2000).
The Multicenter Hydroxyurea Study (MSH) was stopped early due to significant reduction
in these major sickle cell complications (Charache et al, 1995). Several single institution pediatric
trials have suggested that similar beneficial clinical effects will be seen in children treated with
hydroxyurea (Ferster et al, 1996; Jayabose et al, 1996; Maier-Redelsperger et al, 1999; Olivieri and
Vichinsky, 1998; Scott et al, 1996). In the newborn cohort, comprised of infants enrolled to the
CSSCD prior to six months of age, frequencies of complications in infants with Hb SS per 100
patient-years of observation were reported (Gill et al, 1995). Table 4-3 summarizes the frequencies.

In comparison, event rates among the HUSOFT children, who were treated with
hydroxyurea starting at six to twenty four months of age and followed for up to two years were
17/100 patient years for pain events and 15/100 patient years for acute chest syndrome
occurrences. These data suggest that hydroxyurea may have clinical efficacy in these very young
children.
While the acute chest syndrome in children may be different than that seen in adults (Castro
et al, 1994; Golden et al, 1998; Vichinsky et al, 1997), with children having more infectious causes,
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-15 of 4-37
it is clear that, at least in older children with sickle cell disease, chronic transfusion substantially
reduces the frequency of this complication in the pediatric population. Both in a retrospective
review by Oakland Children’s Hospital (Styles and Vichinsky, 1994) and in a prospective analysis
of the patients enrolled in the Stroke Prevention in Sickle Cell Anemia (STOP) (Miller et al, 2001)
there were reductions in acute chest syndrome with transfusion. Hydroxyurea therapy may similarly
reduce frequency of these events in BABY HUG. Since the primary concern of the BABY HUG
investigators is the prevention of organ damage, the study will not be terminated for any
demonstrated advantage of hydroxyurea over placebo in terms of the occurrence of clinical events.
If these expectations are proven incorrect, and hydroxyurea is associated with a demonstrably
increased frequency of death, stroke, acute chest syndrome or consequential splenic sequestration
events, the study would be terminated.
Events to be centrally reviewed include all Serious Adverse Events (e.g., death, events that
are life-threatening, events that cause or prolong hospitalization greater than 7 days, splenic
sequestration crisis, acute chest syndrome, stroke, transient ischemic attacks, ICU admissions and
any AE that is related to study treatment and unexpected). Other clinical occurrences will be
denoted as having occurred or not occurred on clinic visit reports. There is adequate statistical
power in BABY HUG to detect 50% differences between treatment groups at alpha = 0.01 if the
event rates are in the range expected from the CSSCD and the study is completed with 200
patients. The BABY HUG investigators do not plan for early termination based on clinical events
other than demonstrated inferiority of hydroxyurea for the outcomes death, stroke or splenic
sequestration.
4.3.11 Transcranial Doppler Measurements
In children between the ages of 2 and 16 years, an abnormal TCD velocity (200 cm/sec or
more) in the proximal middle cerebral artery or distal internal carotid artery has been found to
predict a high risk of stroke. In the STOP study, a randomized trial in which chronic transfusion was
compared with observation in patients with abnormal TCD velocities, a greater than 90% reduction
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-16 of 4-37
in stroke risk was associated with transfusion (Adams et al, 1998). More recently, Zimmerman and
Ware (Zimmerman et al, 2002) have presented evidence that hydroxyurea treatment in school-aged
children is associated with a lower TCD velocity, in part related to improved hemoglobin levels. In
addition, Bowman and Adams (Bowman et al, 2002) have recently presented information indicating
that TCD measurements can be performed in very young children with sickle cell disease, ages 2-
21 months (mean 11 mo.); 23 of these 27 children were able to have TCD studies performed and
in 22 of those 23, meaningful results were obtained (although only 7 had complete studies). The
mean TCD velocity was 109 cm/sec., substantially lower than in school-aged children. Studies from
the French group led by Bernaudin (Bernaudin et al, 2001) have also shown a lowering of TCD
velocity in children (age 3-18 years) when treated with hydroxyurea.
These data raise the possibility that infants who are randomized to hydroxyurea in the BABY
HUG trial may have a lower TCD velocity compared to the control group receiving placebo. If TCD
velocity is considered a surrogate marker for stroke risk in this population, velocities may provide
a continuous variable which can be used as an endpoint of hydroxyurea efficacy. There are,
however, a number of unanswered questions: Are the lower velocities seen in infants with sickle
cell disease likely to be modulated by hydroxyurea? Are the effects, if any, mediated by changes
in hemoglobin level and other red cell properties? Does a lowering of TCD within the normal range
(for example, from 150 to 130 cm/sec) actually result in a reduced stroke risk? At this time, these
questions cannot be fully addressed and, therefore, TCD would not be likely to be useful for
addressing the primary objective of BABY HUG: Does hydroxyurea prevent organ damage?
However, the potential for TCD measurements to provide relevant data on the risk of CNS events
in this population warrants inclusion of these studies as a secondary endpoint for evaluating
prevention of organ damage by hydroxyurea.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN DESIGN AND STUDY SIZE
4.4.1
Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study
The Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study has been completed and these sections have been
removed for the sake of Protocol continuity. The relevant modifications, based on information from
the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study, have been incorporated into this Protocol revision.
4.4.2
Primary Treatment Comparison (Full Phase III Trial)
Most of the studies conducted in BABY HUG will compare the effect of treatment with
hydroxyurea (HU) to treatment with placebo (PLBO). This study will be conducted with one primary
endpoint: worsening of spleen function from normal to decreased or absent, or from decreased to
absent on uptake of technetium sulfur colloid.
The primary analysis in the full Phase III trial will be done using an intention-to-treat
principle. Patients randomly assigned to a treatment will be analyzed according to the assigned
treatment, irrespective of whether the treatment was actually given. The spleen endpoint will be
tested at an overall alpha = 0.04. An interim monitoring plan is proposed for each of these
endpoints. The interim monitoring plan will be constructed such that the experiment-wise error rate
of the study is preserved at the specified overall alpha levels (0.04 for spleen). The monitoring plan
will reserve most of the alpha level for the final comparison. The shape of the rejection regions will
follow a Haybittle (Haybittle, 1971) type plan with consistent, wide bounds set for the interim
analyses and a bound for the final analysis approximately equal to the critical value that would be
used if there were no interim monitoring. Actual allocation of alpha will be done using the spending
functions of Lan and DeMets (Lan and DeMets, 1983).
The BABY HUG investigators considered using a single primary endpoint for this study and
developing composite scores of different endpoints. Five different organs were considered: the
brain, lung, spleen, liver, and kidney. The rationale follows:
Primary endpoints based on neurological and neuro-imaging evaluations were excluded
because the incidence of central nervous system injury is too infrequent (e.g., stroke less than 1
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-18 of 4-37
per 100 children per year) for a study of 200 very young children. Also, central nervous system
outcomes will be monitored for safety as are continuous measures of brain function
(e.g.,neuropsychological tests and head circumference). Differences in transcranial doppler (TCD)
velocities have not yet been confirmed as clinically important below 170 cm/sec and have not been
shown to be clinically useful in children less than two years old. All of these assessments are of
interest as secondary endpoints.
The lung was excluded since there are no reproducibly good pulmonary function tests over
this age range; spirometry is hard to obtain on infants and pulse-oximetry lacks the variability
necessary to be considered as a primary endpoint (e.g., infants do not vary much from 94-98%
under normal circumstances).
Liver damage that could be detected using standard measures is rare in untransfused very
young children. The incidence of gallstones in very young children is expected to be low.
As described fully in Chapter 1, spleen function deteriorates rapidly in the absence of
treatment, and treatment with HU may have a substantial effect on this endpoint over a two-year
period. Spleen function on 99mTc sulfur colloid liver-spleen scan can be characterized as normal,
decreased or absent. This evaluation of the spleen is categorical in nature. Categorical endpoints
generally require greater sample sizes than continuous measures to detect clinically meaningful
differences.
DTPA GFR was originally a primary endpoint for this study but its measurement was
discontinued as of May 29, 2009.
The features common to power evaluations for this endpoint are the critical values used to
determine the alpha level and power. We have designated these values as Z" and Z$ respectively.
”N” is the number of children in each treatment group necessary for this study. We have presented
the formulas for study size calculations, but each of these formulas can be algebraically rearranged
to provide corresponding power calculations.

is the average of p1 and p2,
= 1-
and N = study size (each group). The overall alpha level
p
q
p
of this comparison will be alpha = 0.04 (two-tailed).
We will test the null hypothesis:
HO: p1 = p2
versus the alternative:
HA: p1 …p2.
There are four planned interim reviews of this endpoint by the DSMB over the course of the
study. Allowing for sequential tests of the endpoint, nominal values of Z = 3.5 will be used for
interim looks, the final comparison will be performed at a nominal alpha level of 0.0394 (Z" =2.06).
It is assumed that the rate of worsening function of the spleen will be at least 80% in the PLBO
group. Figure 4-1 presents the power to detect 50% reductions in the spleen endpoint event rate
as a function of a range of anticipated placebo event rates for categorically worse or absent spleen
function by the end of the study, and of a range of possible sample sizes from 20 to 100 per group.
A review of this figure shows that the proposed study will have adequate power (80% or more) to
detect 50% reductions in the rate of absent spleen function in the HU group, provided that the
sample size is 70 or more in each of the treatment arms. Even with 20% of the initial study
population classified as having absent spleen function, the realized sample size of 160 infants (80
in each group) will have more than 90% power to detect a 50% reduction in the incidence of the
endpoint as a result of the administration of HU, if the PLBO group incidence of this endpoint is
60% or more. With 30% of the initial study population classified as having absent spleen function,
the realized sample size of 140 infants (70 in each group) will have more than 80% power to detect
a 50% reduction in the incidence of the endpoint as a result of the administration of HU. Based on
CSSCD data, by 48 months of age, at least 80% of patients assigned to placebo are expected to
have absent spleen function.

Page 4-21 of 4-37
The power to detect a 50% reduction in worsening of spleen function for the current study
design is shown graphically in Figure 4-1 for five placebo incidence (of worsening) rates. In the
presence of treatment crossover, both the placebo and treatment incidence rates are adjusted (the
placebo rates decrease and the treatment rates increase), and the power to detect a difference is
calculated based on these adjusted incidence rates.
Table 4.4 shows the reductions in power resulting from crossovers (children assigned to
hydroxyurea who discontinue taking the treatment or children assigned to placebo who take
hydroxyurea) according to four levels of treatment and placebo crossover rates (0.05, 0.10, 0.15,
0.20), two levels of placebo (0.80 and 0.60) and treatment initial incidence rates, two levels of
sample size and alpha=0.04. The adjusted rates are the initial incidence of worsening rates
adjusted for the specified crossover rate and are shown in the table in parentheses under the
crossover rates. The sample sizes used assume either 20% or 30% of the initial study population
are classified as having absent spleen function, resulting in N=80 and N=70 (in each group),
respectively.
The first two sub-tables in Table 4-4 show that for a placebo incidence rate of 80% for
worsening of spleen function (dichotomous outcome) and low crossover rates (i.e., 10% or less),
the study has at least 97% power to detect a difference between the treatment and placebo. This
level of crossover presents no threat to the integrity of BABY HUG. The last two sub-tables show
that for an incidence rate of 60% for the placebo combined with low noncompliance rates, the study
has at least 80% power to detect a difference. Thirty percent crossover will be a threat to study
integrity. The BABY HUG investigators will do everything possible to prevent treatment crossovers.

Data Analysis
4.4.4.1 Introduction
Primary analyses for BABY HUG will focus on estimating treatment effects on the
designated primary endpoint: loss of spleen function. Assessment of treatment differences will be
based on pooling data across all participating Clinical Centers using all patients entered.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-24 of 4-37
Secondary analyses will develop statistical models to determine associations and relationships
between dependent variables, risk factors and the treatment variable.
Analysis of binary endpoints will be accomplished using contingency table analysis.
Significance of results will be assessed with the Chi-square test uncorrected for continuity or
Fisher’s exact test. If necessary, contingency table analyses will be adjusted for confounding
variables using logistic regression.
For continuous variables, comparisons of groups will be accomplished using Student’s t test
or the Wilcoxon rank sum test depending on the distributional properties of the data. Stratified
designs will be analyzed using regression methods with the strata represented as randomized
blocks for the analysis.
Analysis of continuous and categorical endpoints that are measured repeatedly over time,
such as serial neuropsychological tests, weight, height, etc. will use longitudinal data analysis
models (Laird and Ware, 1982; Schlucter, 1992; Liang and Zeger, 1986; Andersen and Gill, 1982).
Estimation in these models can be in terms of point and interval estimates or trends (i.e., slopes
of growth curves) over time.
The comparison between two treatments of time to event endpoints will be evaluated using
the log-rank statistic. We will use the LIFETEST procedure in SAS to perform the test. The
cumulative distributions of this outcome will be estimated using the methods of Kaplan and Meier
(Kaplan and Meier, 1958). Multivariate adjustments to this comparison will also be made using the
PHREG procedure for SAS to accomplish Cox proportional hazards models analyses (Cox, 1972).
Non-proportionality of the hazards will be investigated by plotting log[-log(S(t))], in which S(t)
is the survival function, for important stratifying variables such as age and gender. Should the
above functions be non-parallel (and/or cross) for any of the specified variables (p < 0.01), the
primary analysis will be stratified by those variables. Cox proportional hazards models will be
stratified for variables that demonstrate non-proportional hazards (crossing or non-crossing). Once
determined, we will include these variables as stratification variables in the Cox regression.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-25 of 4-37
Analyses for the regressors will be summarized across the strata. Patients who are lost to follow-up
before the end of the follow-up interval will be censored at the time of their last visit.
4.4.4.2 Regression Analyses and Adjustment
We will adjust study results for potential confounding factors in secondary analyses. The
most important of these analyses may test whether the distributions of the primary and secondary
endpoints differ by the age of enrollment of the infant. For these evaluations, we will divide the
infant population into those who are less than 15 months of age at the time of enrollment and those
who are 15 months of age or more at the time of enrollment.
Tests of interaction will be performed to determine if treatment effects are different in these
two groups of infants. We plan to use regression methods to evaluate the significance of the
hypothesized interactions. This will be done by multiplying an indicator variable for the birth cohort
(1 = less than 15 months, 0 = 15 months or older) times treatment (1 = HU, 0 = PLBO) and
evaluating the beta coefficient associated with this variable. If significant (p < 0.01), we will report
that treatment effects differed according to the age of enrollment. Interaction tests such as these
are low in power to detect specified alternatives (half the efficiency of a main effects comparison).
Additional analyses will be required to support the discovery of a proposed interaction, as a large
number of interaction tests will be performed and some, by chance, will be found to be significant.
The addition of confounding variables generally improves the operating characteristics of
analyses of the main effect, but given the small sample size, the number of confounding variables
will be small in any secondary analysis. Given the small sample size proposed for this analysis,
it may be necessary to limit the number of confounders in any one analysis to five or ten. We will
use step-wise regression methods to isolate and include the most important confounding variables
in the regression model.
We will use SAS procedures to perform adjusted analyses, PROC GLM to perform
randomized block analysis of variance, PHGLM to perform stratified and standard Cox proportional
hazards analyses, PROC GENMOD and MIXED to perform longitudinal data analyses, and PROC
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-26 of 4-37
LOGISTIC to perform unconditional logistic regression. The standard output from these procedures
provide point estimates for the regression coefficients, standard error estimates and confidence
intervals. The results of these analyses are printed into computer files so that they can be directly
inserted in progress reports using PROC REPORT. In some instances, the procedures in SAS will
not suffice since SAS procedures usually do not include methods to incorporate information about
missing data, nor do they include complex models specifically designed to relate a biological
process with the risk of disease progression. We will use PROC IML and PROC NLIN to program
the required models if necessary.
4.4.4.3 Missing Data - Prevention and Analysis
BABY HUG will use the methods of Probstfield (Shumaker et al, 1990; Probstfield et al,
1986) for improving adherence with follow-up. A key feature of this approach is the management
of parents who show signs of dropping out of the study. Senior level clinical staff will contact these
families in an effort to improve compliance with the next visit. This action conveys a sense of how
important the child is to the study and can increase the parent’s compliance with future follow-up
visits. For those patients who are already missing visits, the Principal Investigator of a Clinical
Center can contact the parents to assure that they continue with the follow-up visits. As part of the
conversation, the Principal Investigator can negotiate with the parents (or guardians) on the parts
of the study they are willing to complete. By prioritizing the components of the Protocol, a mutually
acceptable follow-up procedure can be established for the patient.
We will generally use the methods of Rubin (Little and Rubin, 1987) to impute missing data
from patients’ records with complete data to complete the records for patients with missing data.
This method has been accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a legitimate
method for correcting for missing data. We will also use analyses involving rank statistics in which
patients who die or have bad clinical events are given the worst rank for other dependent variables.
We have successfully used this technique in the analysis of the MSH (McMahon et al, 1992;
McMahon et al, 1997). For categorical data, or time to event data, the composite endpoint of death
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 4-27 of 4-37
or the event (such as occurrence of acute chest syndrome) can be used.
4.4.5
Interim Monitoring
During the course of this study, the BABY HUG Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)
will carry out interim data analyses to monitor the study for evidence of beneficial and adverse
treatment effects. The DSMB will review reports on study performance including recruitment,
protocol violations, complications of treatment, patients lost to follow-up, submission of forms,
quality of laboratory and forms data submitted, monthly during the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study
and semiannually (months 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 42 and 48) from the start of Feasibility and Safety Pilot
Study enrollment. The study will also be monitored for efficacy with respect to the two co-primary
endpoints and for adverse events.
Below we present the proposed interim monitoring plan for efficacy for the BABY HUG
study. This plan will call for five primary endpoint analyses (four interim analyses and one final
analysis) during the course of the study. The first interim analysis will be conducted with data
collected on children enrolled in the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study. Extreme evidence (nominal
alpha = 0.0005, Z = 3.5) of treatment differences will be required in the interim analyses to
demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed intervention for either endpoint. The use of these extreme
Z values will allow for final nominal alpha levels for each co-primary endpoint to be just under the
specified alpha level for the study (nominal alpha = 0.0394, Z = 2.06 for spleen function. Table 4-7
shows the nominal alpha levels expected to be used during the course of the study.

If appropriate, the DSMB may recommend revising the interim analysis schedule by altering the
proposed number and/or dates of the interim analysis; the method of Lan and DeMets (Reboussin
et al, 1992; Lan and DeMets, 1983) will be used to determine the actual “spending” of the alpha
over the course of the study.

Safety Related Outcomes
Adverse event (AE) forms will be submitted to the MCC and tabulated based on the
affected organ system according to standardized monitoring procedures (e.g., the National Cancer
Institute Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program Adverse Event Expedited Reporting System). Table
4-8 defines adverse events and specifies classification and reporting considerations.
The timing of the AE report will depend upon the nature of the AE. If the AE is serious, Clinical
Center staff will be instructed to report the AE to the MCC within 24 hours of the event. MCC staff
will immediately review the material and forward it to the central review group. If the central review
group finds that an event is serious, MCC staff will attach the treatment assignment to the report,
and send the information to the DSMB Chair, Executive Secretary of DSMB and the NHLBI and
NICHD Project Officers for review. This AE will be tabulated with the other AEs that have been
reported for the study and a systematic review will be made to determine if one treatment has more
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-31 of 4-37
reports of serious AEs than the other treatment. The occurrence of serious AEs will be reported
to the FDA promptly after the Executive Secretary of the DSMB and the Project Officer review. The
Clinical Center will report the occurrence of serious AEs that occur at their institution according to
the requirements of their local IRB.
Other AEs will be collected and tabulated by treatment group on a monthly basis. A critical
value corresponding to p = 0.05 will be used for each AE evaluation (except for the events
discussed earlier). The approach here will be to err on the side of detecting a trend early rather
than protecting alpha. Depending upon the evidence accumulated and severity of the events, it will
be the responsibility of the DSMB Chair, Executive Secretary of DSMB and the Project Officer to
decide whether a full meeting of the DSMB is necessary to discuss the results and make
recommendations, whether a conference call is necessary, or whether the report warrants no
further action.
The MCC staff plan to send a written notification to the DSMB Chair, Executive Secretary
of DSMB and the Project Officer for each severe complication and if any severe complication is
found six times in one treatment group without a single occurrence in the other treatment group.
If six complications have been observed, all in one of the treatment groups, the alpha level of
rejecting the null hypothesis of no treatment effect on the appearance of the adverse event is less
than 0.05 and suggests that the risk of this complication in one group is not equal to the risk of
complication in the other group. The alpha level of rejecting the null hypothesis of no treatment
effect is obtained by using a binomial approximation for the log-rank statistic.
If complications occur in both treatment groups, a 95% confidence interval for the difference
between proportions for the assigned study treatments will be used to compare the occurrence of
symptoms which are potential adverse effects of treatment, such as a neurological deficit. If the
confidence interval for the difference in these proportions does not cover zero, the Project Officer
will be notified promptly. The Executive Secretary of DSMB and the Project Officer in consultation
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-32 of 4-37
with the DSMB Chair will then recommend whether there should be an emergency meeting (or
conference call of the DSMB) to determine the appropriate actions for this trial.
4.4.7
Pharmacokinetics of Hydroxyurea (HU)
NOTICE: Exit PK Studies are not being collected as of May 29, 2009.
Full pharmacokinetic (PK) studies of hydroxyurea will be performed on all children (both HU
and placebo) at entry and exit, at the times that the DTPA measurements for GFR are made. The
results of PK analyses from the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study suggest that the time frame for
sample selection should be changed from 0,1,2,4,and 8 hours to 30,90, and 210 minutes. These
informative times of blood collection for the PK studies will coincide exactly with blood collection
times for the DTPA measurement without any further requirements for additional blood by
administering the daily dose of study treatment 30 minutes after the DTPA procedure is started.
Figure 4-2 shows an overlay of the collection schedule for these two PK and DTPA studies.
Standard blood collections for the DTPA study were collected at 1,2, and 4 hours after the
DTPA procedure was initiated. By lagging the administration of the study treatment, the blood
collections will yield PK data points at 30, 90, and 210 minutes. Based on data from the Feasibility
and Safety Pilot Study, trivial residual HU concentrations are predicted to persist from a previous
dose, thus collecting a pre-dose concentration adds little information, and these three post-dose
blood collections will allow estimation of the PK curve for each infant. In addition, the collection
times will allow the measurements to bracket the expected peak concentration for an infant as
shown in the PK concentrations curve for the first 22 infants studied in the BABY HUG Feasibility
and Safety Pilot Study (Figure 4-3). The collection of entry and exit PK specimens in this fashion
imparts minimal risk and discomfort to the child.
A third PK study will be done approximately one month (at the week 004 visit) after each child
begins taking study treatment. Blood specimens will be collected at only two time points for this
third study as it does not coincide with a DTPA procedure. The time points for collection will be 30
and 90 minutes after the daily dose of study treatment is administered. The collection of specimens
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-4.wpd — 8/09
Page 4-33 of 4-37
at these two time points after one month of study treatment administration will allow the study
investigators to confirm that first dose HU pharmacokinetics predict HU exposure with chronic
administration. The collection of these two additional data points represents a minimal risk
assessment since only one extra venipuncture is required.
All of the data from the HU assays will be analyzed using population pharmacokinetic models.
A one-compartment open model with first order elimination will be utilized. First order absorption,
with and without lag times, will be evaluated as well as other input functions justified by the data.
The data will be modeled recognizing the two stages of a non-linear hierarchical model. The first
stage introduces the structural model (e.g., the one compartment open model), the population
parameters, individual effects, and within-patient variation. The second stage of the model
recognizes that variation between patients in pharmacokinetic parameters exists, and will attempt
to determine covariates that may identify different pharmacokinetic subpopulations. The collection
of these data will support the New Drug Application to the FDA for package insert specifications
about the metabolism of the liquid formulation of hydroxyurea for use in infants with sickle cell
disease.

Any AE related to study treatment and unexpected.
Serious Adverse Events that are sickle cell related have been added to the list, as defined by
the FDA. Item #3 has been modified from the FDA definition given that frequent hospitalizations
occur as a consequence of having sickle cell anemia without being enrolled in a clinical trial.
In addition, a centralized over-ride system (the central review group) will be carried out by
individuals with knowledge about the treatment assignments. These individuals will review adverse
events that are not thought to be serious in the eyes of the blinded investigators and make a
decision about whether an adverse event is “serious” and reportable to the FDA. The two central
review individuals will be the NHLBI Project Officer and MCC Medical Consultant. Either of these
individuals will have the ability to elevate an adverse event being reported to the MCC to the
“serious” category.
Adverse events and serious adverse events will be listed individually and according to body
system, will be designated according to severity (mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening, or fatal),
will be designated according to likelihood of relation to study treatment (not related, possibly,
probably or definitely related), will be classified according to action taken (none, treatment stopped
or interrupted, specific treatment instituted) and according to outcome (recovery without change in
previous condition, some impairment, significant impairment, or death).

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 5
RANDOMIZATION AND ENROLLMENT OF PATIENTS
5.1
ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT
Potential patients are identified by the Clinical Center Principal Investigators and
coordinators. Patients’ parents or guardians will complete orientation and provide informed
consent, and patients will complete the pre-enrollment assessment period and procedures. All pre-
enrollment forms must be received at the Medical Coordinating Center (MCC) where eligibility will
be assessed based on data submitted.
Patients who meet all eligibility criteria in a Clinical Center enrolling BABY HUG patients will
be able to enroll in the study. Patients who are not eligible may be re-evaluated as long as the
enrollment period is still open and baseline evaluations can be completed before the close of the
enrollment period. Exclusion criteria, which could change and allow re-evaluation for eligibility,
include: age less than 9 months for the main study (12 months for the Feasibility and Safety Pilot
Study); transfusion within two months of enrollment unless HbA < 10%; abnormal liver function or
renal function tests; Bayley Mental Scale standardized score <70; low hemoglobin, reticulocyte or
neutrophil count.
5.2
RANDOMIZATION AND TREATMENT ALLOCATION
MCC staff will prepare a unique randomization schedule for each BABY HUG Clinical
Center. Each randomization schedule will be known only to a small group of people at the MCC.
Individual treatment assignments will be available to selected MCC staff only on a "need-to-know"
basis. Clinical Center investigators forced by urgent circumstances to unblind an individual patient's
treatment will be required to follow procedures and provide documentation as set out in Section
6.6.1.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-5 — 8/09
Page 5-2 of 5-2
MCC staff will use an automated telephone response system (ATRS) to randomly assign
treatments to patients enrolling at a Clinical Center in sequence according to the randomization
schedule for that Clinical Center. Each treatment assignment will specify a kit number for a kit that
contains either hydroxyurea or placebo. Treatment group allocations will be stratified according to
Clinical Center to ensure balance of numbers to each treatment arm within each Clinical Center.
A standard procedure for stratified, blocked randomization will be used.
5.2.1
Treatment Allocation
The MCC will identify eligible patients on a daily basis throughout the enrollment period.
The MCC will provide a continual report of pending requirements for patients still in eligibility
assessment. After the child’s parents or guardians have provided written informed consent, the
child’s baseline evaluations are completed and the child has been declared eligible, the Clinical
Center staff may use the MCC automated telephone response system (ATRS) to enroll a child and
to obtain a study treatment kit assignment. The MCC will send the Pharmacy Distribution Center
directions to maintain the supply of study treatments for this patient at the Clinical Center pharmacy.
For each eligible patient the ATRS will issue to the Clinical Center a confirmation of enrollment into
the study, including the BABY HUG Patient Identification Number and Alphabetic Code. Clinical
Center staff will return to the MCC the form confirming the date the patient starts study treatment.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 6
STUDY TREATMENTS
6.1
OVERVIEW
For children enrolled in BABY HUG and assigned to study treatment, treatment will begin
at a fixed dose of 20 mg/kg/day, and remain at this dose unless repeated or prolonged toxicity is
encountered, in which case the dose will be reduced to a lower stable dose. The goal for dose
adjustment is given in Table 6-1. Patients will be maintained at 20 mg/kg/day or the lower stable
dose for the duration of the 2-year period on blinded study treatment.
The NHLBI has submitted an investigational new drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) for use of hydroxyurea in BABY HUG (IND #67,289). Administration
and monitoring of treatment in BABY HUG will follow all accountability and reporting requirements
of the FDA.
Hydroxyurea will be formulated as a liquid preparation (100 mg/ml). Parents will be advised
to administer treatment at approximately the same time each day (e.g. each morning or each
evening before bedtime) to assist with compliance. All study medications (hydroxyurea and
placebo) will be distributed by the Pharmacy Distribution Center in bottles of powder to the Clinical
Centers. Each child’s treatment supply will be formulated by the appropriate Clinical Center before
the patient’s scheduled visit.
Before each scheduled clinic visit, the Medical Coordinating Center will recommend a dose
for the upcoming 2- or 4-week therapy period, and transmit this information electronically to the
Clinical Center Principal Investigator and coordinator. On the day of the clinic visit (Day 1), the child
will be weighed, examined, and monitored for toxicity. At each 2- or 4-week visit, the used bottle
will be collected, and the family will be given a new bottle with an appropriately marked oral syringe.
The instructions will be to continue therapy using the new bottle, unless they receive a phone call
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-2 of 6-12
to stop administering treatment. If a treatment had been stopped in the previous 2- or 4-week
period, a new bottle of study medication will be dispensed. The family will be instructed to start
administering the study medication with the possibility that a phone call for a stop order may be
issued within three days.
Blood specimens for routine study visits will be sent to the local Clinical Center laboratory
for CBC determinations. Within one day of collecting the blood or by 9:00 a.m. of the following
morning, the Primary Endpoint person will review local laboratory results for alert and toxicity values
and data-enter the CBC values into the Internet Data Entry System. The MCC will also analyze the
local CBC results. If the specimen is unusable (e.g. clotted), Clinical Center staff will be given an
opportunity to collect a second hematology blood specimen. However, the second hematology
specimen must be collected within 48 hours of the first specimen. By Day 3, the Medical
Coordinating Center will send out a recommendation for stopping or continuing study medication
for the next 2- or 4-week period based on review of all blood counts received, study medication
prescription history, toxicities and adverse reactions. The Clinical Center physician verifies that the
recommendations and prescriptions are consistent on Day 3. When indicated, Clinical Center staff
will notify families to “STOP” using the study treatment (if it is currently being administered). Failure
to contact families to “STOP” using study treatment can jeopardize patient safety (see section 12.9).
If appropriate efforts are made to contact a family with a “STOP” order, but the family is not
contacted, the Clinical Center Principal Investigator will provide the Operations Committee with a
written explanation of the reason contact could not be established and a plan to avoid inability to
contact this patient in the future. If a family cannot be contacted for two “STOP” orders, the
patient’s treatment will be interrupted until the Operations Committee assesses that it can be safely
restarted (see Section 6.6.2).
Every six months at designated visits which must occur on a Monday - Thursday, blood will
also be sent to the Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory by overnight courier, and arrive
there early on Day 2. Within six hours of receipt of the blood, the Hematology and Biochemistry
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-3 of 6-12
Core Laboratory will transmit hematology and biochemistry results to the Medical Coordinating
Center. No toxicities will be determined from the Core Laboratory results. However, the MCC will
analyze the results for alerts and notify the Clinical Center PEP of any alerts.
6.2
DOSE TITRATION
6.2.1
Hydroxyurea
The plan for dose reduction and toxicity monitoring in BABY HUG (Table 6-1) is based on
data obtained from HUSOFT (Wang et al, 2001). The starting dose of hydroxyurea will be 20 mg/kg
(once a day, orally). If toxicity occurs (e.g., neutropenia), treatment will be stopped and blood
counts will be checked every two weeks until they return to non-toxic values. Transient toxicity will
not cause a dose reduction, but prolonged or repeated toxicity will. Following a toxic blood count,
treatment will be discontinued for 14 days. If counts recover, treatment will be resumed at the
previous dose. If the toxicity persists, treatment will continue to be held for an additional 14 days
and treatment will resume at a daily dose 2.5 mg/kg lower than the previous dose once the toxicity
is resolved. If that dose does not cause toxicity for eight weeks, an attempt will be made to
increase the daily dose by 2.5 mg/kg; if toxicity occurs, the lower dose will be assigned as the
stable dose. If transient toxicity occurs more than twice at the same dose within a 12-week period,
treatment will resume at a dose 2.5 mg/kg lower than the previous dose and continue for the
duration of study. If blood counts reach the toxic range while on an established stable dose,
treatment will be stopped until toxicity resolves and then treatment will resume with the previously
established stable dose; repeated toxicity in a 12-week period will reduce the stable dose by 2.5
mg/kg for the remainder of the study. An outline of the dose titration algorithm is presented in Table
6-1.
6.2.2
Placebo
Patients assigned to placebo will be given identically-appearing bottles containing placebo
powder and the same flavoring as the HU-containing bottles. The placebo-containing bottles will
be labeled identically to the HU-containing bottles. The Medical Coordinating Center will devise
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-4 of 6-12
schedules of treatment stops and dose reductions and escalations for placebo patients based on
the experience of bone marrow suppression, recovery, dose reduction and dose escalations seen
in the open-label HUSOFT patients. Enough individual plans will be devised so that each of the
children assigned to placebo in each Clinical Center will follow a different course of stops and dose
changes that would just as readily occur in a child assigned to hydroxyurea. The goal of the plans
is that the distribution of the final dose achieved among the placebo assigned patients will be similar
to the final dose distribution among those assigned to hydroxyurea, and that the same proportion
of children have treatment stops. This type of plan was implemented in the Multicenter Study of
Hydroxyurea in Sickle Cell Anemia (MSH) (Handy et al, 1996).
6.3
TREATMENT PREPARATION
An independent manufacturing facility will prepare and send bottles containing powdered
hydroxyurea or placebo to the Pharmacy Distribution Center, which will forward these bottles,
grouped as individual treatment kits, to each Clinical Center (Investigational) Pharmacy. Bottles
for each patient will be reconstituted with water and simple syrup by each Clinical Center
(Investigational) Pharmacy to formulate the medications into liquid preparations. Hydroxyurea
powder and flavoring will be dissolved in water and simple syrup to achieve a final volume of 120
ml with a final concentration of 100 mg/ml. Placebo will be dissolved in an identically appearing and
flavored solution. Each Clinical Center (Investigational) Pharmacy will bottle the liquid formulation
in a child-proof container, label it with the subject's study acrostic/number, study ID number and
instructions (including the "Investigational New Drug" warning, "BABY HUG Hydroxyurea Study for
Sickle Cell Anemia", a prescription number, and the "emergency call" telephone number of the
Principal Investigator). Inventory records for hydroxyurea and placebo will be kept by Pharmacy
Distribution Center staff, and the Medical Coordinating Center will keep inventories of kit numbers
used.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-5 of 6-12
Several days before a patient’s four-week visit, the Medical Coordinating Center staff will
generate a prescription recommendation for the patient to be reviewed by a physician or physician
consultant at the MCC with a synopsis of recent blood counts. The MCC physician will check all
prescription recommendations, and the MCC will notify each Clinical Center of the official
prescription. The Clinical Center (Investigational) Pharmacy will generate a label that includes the
patient’s dose for the next month with instructions on how to take the liquid. All verified
prescriptions will be prepared by the Clinical Center (Investigational) Pharmacy, the bottles will be
labeled appropriately, and the study treatment given to the family on the day of the patient’s clinic
visit. The Clinical Center (Investigational) Pharmacy will prepare a 35-day supply of the liquid
formulation, and dispense it to each patient with the appropriate dose marked on the label and on
syringes.
6.4
DEFINITIONS OF TOXICITY
The most common toxicity observed in preliminary studies has been transient and reversible
bone marrow depression. Hydroxyurea has only rarely been reported to be the cause of fever, skin
rash, nausea, vomiting or hair loss. Such manifestations will be investigated locally and will be
reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as adverse reactions if other etiologies are not
apparent.
Toxic bone marrow depression is defined as an absolute neutrophil count < 1250/cu mm,
absolute reticulocyte count < 80,000/cu mm (if the hemoglobin concentration is below 7 gm/dL),
platelet count < 80,000/cu mm, a hemoglobin concentration < 6.0 gm/dL, or >20% fall in
hemoglobin concentration from the 3-month rolling average.
The following occurrences will also be defined as toxicity: unexplained gastrointestinal
disturbance, or unexplained rash or hair loss.
Toxicity levels are used for adjustment of study treatment dose and are distinct from alert
levels which are used for clinical management of the child (see section 7.2.4 and Table 7-3).

SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-6 of 6-12
6.5
MONITORING FOR TOXICITY
Patients will be seen at the Clinical Centers and will have blood sampled every two weeks
until a stable dose is reached, then every four weeks thereafter. A few infants will be seen in
peripheral clinics that are visited by the clinic director every four weeks. Blood specimens for
routine study visits can be collected any day of the week provided blood is not also scheduled for
collection and shipment to the Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory, which must occur
on a Monday - Thursday. If a patient misses the clinic visit, and the visit can be rescheduled within
the extended visit window, the Clinical Center staff should complete the clinic visit (and blood
collection) within the extended window. If a patient misses a visit that cannot be rescheduled during
the extended window, the family will be advised to complete the available study medication
(interrupting daily doses when the treatment runs out) and return in two weeks.
One pediatric tube of blood (0.5 ml) in EDTA will be obtained for a blood count including
hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, platelet count, absolute reticulocyte count (ARC)
and absolute neutrophil count (ANC). The local laboratory will perform automated (manual if
automated is invalidated) CBC counts and the Primary Endpoint Person (PEP) will data enter them
into the BABY HUG database via the Internet Data Entry System within one day of collecting the
blood or by 9:00 a.m. the following day. An additional EDTA purple-top tube (0.5 ml) for
hematology and a red-top tube (1.0 ml) for serum chemistries will be collected every six months
(see Table 7.1) and sent to the Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory. The Hematology
and Biochemistry Core Laboratory will perform blood counts and chemistries, and transmit results
to the Medical Coordinating Center within six hours of receipt of the sample. No toxicities will be
determined from the Core Laboratory results.
The PEP will review the local results to determine if a toxicity is present in the data. If there
is a toxicity, the PEP will notify the Clinical Center staff of the need for a stop order. If there is not
a toxicity, the PEP will open a previously delivered notice from the MCC that will instruct whether
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-7 of 6-12
the PEP is to report a sham toxicity for the visit. Once reported, all other aspects of the reporting
mechanism will be done in the same manner as if the toxicity is real (e.g., a meeting with ancillary
staff, etc. to perpetuate the notion that the report is in fact a real toxicity).
In addition to the PEP review of the local laboratory results, the Medical Coordinating Center
will scan the in-coming local laboratory reports for "toxic" results. If the specimen is unusable (e.g.
clotted) the Clinical Center staff will be given an opportunity to collect a second blood specimen.
However, the second specimen must be collected within 48 hours of the first specimen. If there are
no local laboratory results, the Medical Coordinating Center will notify the Clinical Center of the
need for a stop order. After MCC staff issue/confirm a stop order, they will notify the Clinical Center
coordinator, who will call the family and give the order to stop treatment if it has not already been
done. The clinic coordinator and thus the family will be told to "stop treatment", without use of the
word "toxicity." The coordinator will inquire concerning the child’s health (e.g., regarding fever,
lassitude, weakness). Parents (guardians) of any child whose condition is worrisome will be asked
to bring in the child for an examination to rule out complications with potentially severe
consequences such as parvovirus B-19 infection or splenic sequestration (see Section 8.4). Patient
families will be notified of stop orders within 48 hours of the clinic visit. The child must then return
for two week visits until the toxicity is resolved.
Medical Coordinating Center staff will provide the Clinical Centers with stop orders for
placebo patients, in a similar manner as patients with toxicity due to HU. If the MCC physician(s)
and other Medical Coordinating Center staff disagree on the toxicity evaluation, any stop orders,
and/or the dose recommendation for the next therapy period, the laboratory results and treatment
recommendation will be referred to the Study Chairman for immediate action.
6.6
BLINDING
In the Clinical Centers, the patients, their families, Clinical Center Principal Investigators,
coordinators, and other study staff will be blinded to treatment assignments. The central event or
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-8 of 6-12
image reviewers will not be able to link study treatment assignments to individual event reports or
other outcome data. Pharmacy Distribution Center staff and Medical Coordinating Center staff will
have access to individual subject treatment assignment and current dose on a "need-to-know"
basis. The Medical Coordinating Center will maintain records of each child’s treatment assignment
and current dose.
Plans have been made to prevent toxicity monitoring from resulting in unblinding of patients’
assigned study treatments. Despite these precautions, if the Clinical Center Principal Investigator
thinks he/she inadvertently has become unblinded, contact with the child and his/her family and
clinical site staff must be carefully managed to avoid any comments regarding unblinding. The
person who has the most patient contact, usually the coordinator, must be absolutely excluded from
any contact with laboratory data. The Primary Endpoint Person (PEP), who monitors the local CBC
evaluations for toxicity, will have access to informative data about treatment assignment and must
not share that information with the Principal Investigator or coordinator. In addition, the child’s 3-
month rolling average hemoglobin concentration will be provided by the MCC to the Clinical Center
PEP every month for use with standard medical practice guidelines (see Chapter 8) as needed
locally.
The Clinical Center Principal Investigators have agreed to avoid seeking information that
may unblind them with regard to individual treatment assignments, especially laboratory results.
Clinic coordinators will conduct follow-up visits and process and maintain files of study documents.
Study documents that contain potentially unblinding information or baseline characteristics on
individual patients (e.g., local lab reports, liver/spleen scan results, GFR results) will be maintained
by the PEP. Although not preferred, Clinical Center Principal Investigators may be the primary care
providers for BABY HUG children, and will be aware of the need to maintain blinding under normal
circumstances and maintain the child on study drug even during hospitalization. Discussion among
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-9 of 6-12
Clinical Center staff or with families regarding a child’s treatment assignment is inappropriate.
Clinical Center coordinators must avoid any information that may unblind them.
6.6.1 Emergency Unblinding
Every family will be given an identification card describing the child’s participation in the
BABY HUG study, listing emergency study telephone numbers (e.g., the Clinical Center Principal
Investigator’s telephone number and the Central Study Emergency Contact’s telephone number).
The Central Study Emergency Contact’s telephone will be answered by a pediatric sickle cell
anemia consultant to the Medical Coordinating Center at all times. If BABY HUG children become
ill, treating physicians will be urged to call the Clinical Center Principal Investigator before altering
the child's study regimen.
In an emergency, family members will be instructed to call a telephone number that will be
manned by a pediatric sickle cell anemia consultant to the Medical Coordinating Center 24 hours
a day. Arrangements will be made so that the child’s medication can be disclosed to the Clinical
Center Principal Investigator after consultation between the Clinical Center Principal Investigator
and the pediatric sickle cell anemia consultant to the Medical Coordinating Center. Reasons for
unblinding are limited and are based on clinical grounds. Unblinding must be initiated by the
Clinical Center Principal Investigator. Reasons for unblinding include overdose of the study
medication, accidental ingestion of the study medication by another person, development of
infection or bleeding that could be due to reduced white blood cell or platelet counts and for which
management might be changed if the nature of the study drug were known. Examples of clinical
situations when information on study treatment could be useful include severe thrombocytopenia
calling for a decision to use prednisone versus platelet transfusion or severe neutropenia calling
for a decision on choice of antibiotics. If a child's therapy is unblinded, the Clinical Center Principal
Investigator or staff member who unblinded the treatment must send a report to the Medical
Coordinating Center.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-10 of 6-12
Each Clinical Center will assign another non-BABY HUG hematologist and nurse practitioner
to be available for acute care visits. The study coordinator will have the most contact with patients
and families and will be excluded from contact with laboratory data collected during acute events.
The Primary Endpoint Person will, however, have access to a patient’s 3-month rolling average
hemoglobin value every month, which will be provided by the MCC for use in evaluation of anemia.
Unblinding will occur only after consultations between the Clinical Center PI and an external,
Consultant Pediatric Study Hematologist. Unblinding events will be discussed by the Operations
Committee and often will result in discontinuing study treatments. However, all patients, including
those whose treatments have been unblinded, will continue to be followed in BABY HUG for safety
outcomes and clinical outcomes not already declared at the time of unblinding. Since analysis will
be conducted according to the principle of Intention to Treat and unblinding is expected to occur
infrequently, the impact of unblinding is anticipated to be less than that of possible crossovers (see
Sections 4.4.3 and 4.4.4).
6.6.2
Treatment Interruptions
There may be instances related to medical conditions (e.g., acute, intercurrent illnesses
such as an infection) or other reasons (e.g., study medication is lost by the family or “STOP” orders
cannot be delivered) when it may be advisable to interrupt study therapy without unblinding.
Interruptions for medical conditions should be allowed only with consultation of the Clinical Center
Principal Investigator. The Clinical Center Principal Investigator is responsible for notifying the
Medical Coordinating Center of treatment interruptions. These notifications are important because
they may in turn have an influence on dose titration.
6.7
ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Study treatment will be measured at each regular follow-up visit. If the volume of study
treatment remaining in the bottle is not consistent with the prescribed dosing plan, staff will inquire
about any difficulties that may have occurred. The importance of compliance will be emphasized
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-6 — 8/09
Page 6-11 of 6-12
for all patients. Even if patients are repeatedly considered to be non-compliant, they will continue
to be followed and will continue to receive their study reimbursements (i.e., travel/telephone
allowances).
6.8 MISSED VISITS AND DROP-OUTS
Each regularly scheduled clinic visit missed by a patient will be reported to the Medical
Coordinating Center. Families who do not wish to continue attending clinic visits in the BABY HUG
study will continue to be telephoned by the Clinical Center coordinator to ascertain the medical
condition, any identifiable events and vital status. Attempts will be made to obtain semi-annual and
annual evaluations for all study participants.
6.9
DURATION OF STUDY TREATMENT
The goal of the study treatment plans will be to maintain patients on the assigned study
treatment until the end of the 24-month period and on the maximum non-toxic dose (up to 20
mg/kg/day) of study treatment for at least 18 months of the two-year trial period.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 6-12 of 6-12
TABLE 6-1
PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG)
DOSE TITRATION ALGORITHM
Goal:
To treat at 20 mg/kg/day or a lower, stable dose, defined as the highest dose maintained
for eight weeks without observed blood count toxicity; and to maintain the patient at stable
dose thereafter.
Titration Phase (visits every 2 weeks):
1. Begin hydroxyurea at a dose of 20 mg/kg/day.
2. Continue treatment and monitor for toxicity.
3. If toxicity develops:
a.
A stop order is issued, and the patient will have repeat blood counts performed every 14
days until toxicity resolves.
b.
If the toxicity resolves at 14 days, then the study drug will resume at the pre-toxic dose. If
the toxicity requires more than 14 days to resolve, then the daily dose will be lowered by 2.5
mg/kg. A patient must take a prescribed dose before a lower subsequent dose will be
prescribed (i.e., toxicities that require more than 14 days to resolve will have the dose
reduced 2.5 mg/kg from the last dose that was actually administered to the patient).
c.
As long as the patient does not become toxic over the subsequent eight-week period on the
lower dose, the daily dose will be increased by 2.5 mg/kg not to exceed 20 mg/kg/day.
d.
If a patient becomes toxic at any given dose twice in a 12-week period, no further increases
will be made. The highest dose that does not produce toxicity for an eight-week period is
designated the stable dose.
4. No patient will receive more than 20 mg/kg/day.
Stable Dose Phase (visits every 4 weeks):
1. If the patient becomes toxic after the stable dose is established, a stop order is issued and the
study drug is stopped. When the toxicity resolves, the study drug will be resumed at the pre-
toxic stable dose. If toxicity recurs within a 12-week period, the stable dose will be lowered by
2.5 mg/kg.

CHAPTER 7
LABORATORIES AND SPECIMENS
7.1
INTRODUCTION
Eight Core Laboratories (a Hematology and Biochemistry Core, an Immunology Core, a
Mutation Analysis/DNA Core, a Pitted Cell Core, a TCD Core, a Biomarkers Core, an HU Assay
Core and a Cytogenetics Core) and an NHLBI Specimen Repository will be utilized for processing
of BABY HUG study specimens, collected at the times specified in Table 7-1. In addition, the
Clinical Center local hematology laboratories will process specimens collected at every study visit.
7.2
HEMATOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY CORE LABORATORY
The Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory will provide standardized hematology
and routine blood chemistry results which will be used to monitor for alerts and for analysis of
effects of HU on these parameters.
The Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory will assay specimens according to the
schedule in Table 7-1. If the specimen is deemed untestable, insufficient quantity, or missing, the
Clinical Center should continue to re-draw for up to two more subsequent study visits. Blood
samples will be collected and sent to the Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory from
Monday to Thursday by overnight express carrier so that they arrive within 24 hours. Blood counts
and chemistry assays will be performed, reports generated, and results transmitted to the MCC
within 6 hours of receipt.
7.3
LOCAL (CLINICAL CENTER) HEMATOLOGY LABORATORIES
7.3.1
Monitoring for Toxicity
The major toxicity of HU is bone marrow depression which will be detected by complete
blood count (CBC with white blood cell differential). HU has rarely been reported to be the cause
of clinical manifestations such as fever, rash, nausea, vomiting or hair loss. Since HU is excreted
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-7 — 8/09
Page 7-2 of 7-9
in the urine, renal function will be monitored closely based on BUN and creatinine results. Clinical
manifestations and toxicity will be investigated locally and will be reported to the FDA as adverse
reactions if other etiologies are not apparent. Toxic bone marrow depression and other organ
toxicities in BABY HUG are defined in Section 6.4.
The MCC staff will screen incoming local CBC reports for “toxic” results. If toxic values are
noted on the local CBC reports, the MCC will issue a stop order to the Clinical Center. Clinical
Center will notify the patient’s parent(s) and tell them to stop treatment without the use of the word
“toxicity”. The MCC will notify the Clinical Center of placebo patients whose treatments are to stop
in the same manner as HU patients. Stop orders will be used for all placebo patients whose
laboratory results are “spontaneously” (i.e., without hydroxyurea treatment) at levels that would be
considered “toxic” with hydroxyurea therapy. The parent(s) will be notified of the stop order within
48 hours of a clinic visit. The remaining study drug must be returned at the next clinic visit. Doses
for placebo patients and HU patients will be adjusted in similar manners. The MCC staff will receive
and edit incoming local CBC reports, and compare them to previous reports for the patient. MCC
staff will check for discrepancies between the central computer reviews and the stop orders.
7.3.2
Blinding
In the Clinical Centers, the patients’ families, Principal Investigators, coordinators, and other
study staff will be blinded to treatment assignments. On the Central Event Adjudication Panels and
in the Core Laboratories, staff will not be able to link study treatment assignments to specimens,
event reports or other outcome evaluations. The staff of the MCC will have access to individual
patient treatment assignment codes and current dose on a “need to know” basis. The MCC will
maintain records of each patient’s drug assignment and current dose.
The Clinical Center Principal Investigators will assert their intention to avoid seeking
information that may unblind them with regard to individual patient’s treatment assignments,
especially laboratory parameters. The Primary Endpoint Person (PEP) will monitor the local CBC
evaluations for toxicity and thus have access to potentially unblinding information. The Clinical
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-7 — 8/09
Page 7-3 of 7-9
Center coordinator will conduct follow-up patient visits and will be the primary contact person for
the patient and families. She/he will maintain files of study documents and must be rigidly excluded
from any contact with laboratory data, including data which may be collected on hospitalizations
or outpatient visits. For these purposes it is preferred (but not required) that physicians and nurse
practitioners outside BABY HUG manage the primary care and laboratory data during these events.
The Clinical Center Principal Investigators and coordinators will be responsible for maintaining their
blinded status and maintaining the patient on study drug during hospitalizations, if appropriate.
7.3.3
Emergency Unblinding
Each patient’s family will be given an identification card describing the patient’s participation
in BABY HUG, listing emergency study telephone numbers (the Study Chairman, and the Clinical
Center Principal Investigator’s telephone numbers). If a BABY HUG patient becomes ill, parents
will be instructed to show this identification card to the child’s treating physician. The card will
recommend to treating physicians that they contact the Clinical Center Principal Investigator before
altering the patient’s study regimen. The MCC will be allowed to disclose the patient’s treatment
assignment only in cases of emergencies, such as accidental drug ingestion or in cases of severe
cytopenias associated with severe infections or bleeding where therapeutic options may be
dependent on identification of the study treatment assignment.
7.3.4
Alert System
The Primary Endpoint Person (PEP) will review the local CBC results to determine if an alert
is present in the data. In addition, the Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory data and local
CBC data will be used by the MCC to monitor electronically for values exceeding alert levels (Table
7-2). Local CBC results will override Core Laboratory results. If an alert level is detected, the
Clinical Centers will use the following guidelines for responding to notification of an alert.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/BABY-HUG/BHUG PROTOCOL/August-09/CHAP-7 — 8/09
Page 7-4 of 7-9
Every time a value exceeds the alert level:
1.
The PEP will handle the alert in a straightforward manner when possible, or, more
likely, contact a Hematologist/Sickle Cell Specialist who is not directly connected
with the BABY HUG Trial.
2.
When indicated, the PEP and the Hematologist will develop a plan for a clinical
response to the alert value. (For example: If the patient were severely neutropenic
and febrile, the patient would be hospitalized for antibiotic treatment; if the patient
had > 20% decrease in hemoglobin level, the patient would be hospitalized and/or
transfused; if the patient met criteria for a splenic sequestration, the patient would
be hospitalized and/or transfused; etc.)
3.
In the event that no non-BABY HUG Hematologist was available, the PEP would
need to contact the BABY HUG PI and discuss a course of action. In doing so, the
PEP would provide the PI only with “need to know” laboratory information. In most
cases this will not create an unblinding problem because, for example: severe
neutropenia may more likely be related to an acute viral infection rather than HU
toxicity; worse anemia might be caused by an aplastic crisis or splenic sequestration
rather than HU; splenic sequestration might or might not be related to HU, etc. In
most situations, CBC values would not readily distinguish between treatment with
hydroxyurea or placebo, although it is important that the MCV should not be
revealed to the PI or BABY HUG Study Coordinators.
4.
In the ensuing management of the child, the bulk of the decision-making should be
carried out by the non-BABY HUG Hematologist and the PEP.
5.
The alert values for increased hematologic blood counts would not necessarily
warrant any immediate reaction by a clinician.

CYTOGENETICS CORE LABORATORY
Freshly collected blood will be shipped overnight to the Cytogenetics Core Laboratory for
culture of cells to assess karyotype and perform a chromosome breakage analysis.
7.5
IMMUNOLOGY CORE LABORATORY
Blood specimens before and after critical immunizations (e.g., Measles-Mumps-Rubella, or
pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine) will be shipped by overnight courier to the Immunology
Core Laboratory for evaluation of antibody and cellular immune response.
7.6
MUTATION ANALYSIS/DNA CORE LABORATORY
Blood specimens will be shipped to the Mutation Analysis Core Laboratory at St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital for the assessment of VDJ and other mutations and DNA extraction.
All DNA samples will subsequently be sent to the NHLBI repository.
Leftover patient serum from the Biochemistry specimen will be shipped from the
Biochemistry Core Laboratory to the DNA Core Laboratory for Cystatin C testing.
7.7
PITTED CELL CORE LABORATORY
Every six months one drop of blood will be preserved in gluteraldehyde for each child
enrolled in BABY HUG. These specimens will be stored and refrigerated locally, and shipped in
batches to the Pitted Cell Core Laboratory.
7.8
TCD CORE LABORATORY
A TCD Core Laboratory supported by funds from a separately awarded grant will be
responsible for the performance and central evaluation of TCD studies at entry, at 12 months on
study treatment and at the end of follow-up for each child enrolled in BABY HUG. The Principal
Investigator of a child who has a “conditional” TCD will be contacted by the MCC medical consultant
to decide the frequency of follow-up. Any requested follow-up TCDs will be paid with BABY HUG
funds and will be performed according to BABY HUG Protocol. Standard of care is to perform
routine TCD screening beginning at 2 years of age (approximately at 12 months on study treatment
for BABY HUG).

BIOMARKERS CORE LABORATORY
A Biomarkers Core Laboratory supported by funds from a separately awarded grant will be
responsible for central evaluation of circulating levels of selected biomarkers in blood specimens
collected at study entry, 2 months after entry, six months after entry and at study exit.
7.10
HU ASSAY CORE LABORATORY
NOTICE: Exit HU assays were discontinued as of May 29, 2009. Plasma specimens from
the DTPA evaluations of GFR at treatment initiation for the children enrolled in the Feasibility and
Safety Pilot Study were stored and later shipped in a batch to the HU Assay Laboratory for
assessment of circulating hydroxyurea levels.
Additionally, all incoming patients will have entry and exit pharmacokinetic (PK) studies (on
plasma specimens from the DTPA evaluations of GFR), all patients currently enrolled in the study
will have exit PK studies (on plasma specimens from the DTPA evaluations of GFR), and all
incoming patients will have PK studies at approximately one month on study treatment. These
plasma specimens will be frozen and stored locally and shipped in batches to the HU Assay Core
Laboratory.
7.11
NHLBI SPECIMEN REPOSITORY
The Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory will conserve residual plasma, serum,
and cell pellets for shipment to the NHLBI Specimen Repository where they will be kept in a bank
of samples for the purpose of ancillary studies approved by the Steering Committee. At the end
of the study, a limited amount of data will be provided to be linked to the specimens (e.g., whether
they come from a male or female child) and, following appropriate IRB review, the specimens will
be available for use, if consent was given at the time of their collection, without any link to the
individual from whom the specimen(s) were obtained.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 8
GUIDELINES FOR STANDARD CLINICAL CARE
8.1
INTRODUCTION
The basic principles of supportive care for the infants with sickle cell anemia enrolled in the
BABY HUG trial are based upon the recommendations found in several publications (Mountain
States Regional Genetic Services Network, 2000; Council of Regional Networks for Genetic
Services (CORN), 2000; Ohene-Frempong, 2001; US Department of Health and Human Services,
Public Health Service, 1993). Supportive care should be similar whether the patient is receiving
hydroxyurea or placebo. For the ease of clinicians involved with participants, all patients should
be treated as if they were receiving hydroxyurea. The cooperation of all medical staff involved in
the clinical care of study patients will be solicited to enhance patient adherence to the BABY HUG
Protocol and avoid compromise of blinding of treatment assignments.
Common clinical events are addressed in specific sections below. At no time should the
performance of the study Protocol be allowed to compromise the elements of good clinical care of
BABY HUG participants.
8.2
IMMUNIZATIONS
All routine pediatric immunizations should be given as per standard clinical
recommendations, including vaccination against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles,
mumps, hepatitis B, rubella and Haemophilus influenzae type b. Immunizations against hepatitis
A and varicella may be given if indicated and commonly available locally. These vaccines should
be provided through usual local pediatric primary care mechanisms if possible. Any and all
vaccines may be withheld for medical indications (e.g., allergy or history of prior reaction) or
parental preference.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-8.wpd — 8/09

All participants should receive all recommended doses of pneumococcal vaccine according
to the following schedule. A history of vaccination with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevnar
or PCV7), including date(s) given, must be documented by the BABY HUG Clinical Center and
reported to the Medical Coordinating Center for each infant enrolled. Patients deficient in PCV7
immunizations at study entry should be brought up to date by the Clinical Center as soon as
possible. Bacteremia and meningitis with S. pneumoniae will be monitored closely as clinical
events in BABY HUG. Further, the antibody response to pneumococcal vaccination will be
measured in the study. The total number of doses required is dependent upon the age of the
patient when the first dose is given even if the interval between doses is longer than intended.
Adequate series of vaccinations are indicated in the table below.

Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine (MMR): one dose of the vaccine should be
documented as given between 12 and 15 months of age and then repeated between 4 and 6 years
of age. The immunologic response to this vaccine will be assessed to document the ability of
patients receiving either hydroxyurea or placebo to respond to these antigens. Thus, the date of
this immunization must be recorded for each patient by the Clinical Center and reported to the
Medical Coordinating Center. Parents will be encouraged, and assisted by the BABY HUG Clinical
Center as necessary, to obtain this vaccine as early in the scheduled vaccine interval as possible.
Influenza vaccine: the annual flu vaccine is encouraged for all infants 6 months of age or
older. The first year this is administered this should be given as two 0.25 ml doses, with a minimum
of four weeks between doses. Each subsequent flu season, one dose is given. A single dose of
0.25 ml is given to patients from 6 to 35 months of age and 0.5 ml to patients over 36 months of
age.
8.3
PROPHYLACTIC MEDICATIONS
Twice daily prophylactic penicillin will be prescribed from first medical contact. This should
have already been initiated prior to enrollment in BABY HUG. The doses are from birth to 35
months of age - 125mg po BID – and over 36 months of age - 250 mg po BID. Either the liquid
formulation, which must be kept refrigerated and refilled every 2 weeks, or tablets may be used
(Mountain States Regional Genetic Services Network, 2000; American Academy of Pediatrics,
2000). Erythromycin estolate 250 mg po BID may be used for penicillin allergic patients (Mountain
States Regional Genetic Services Network, 2000; Council of Regional Networks for Genetic
Services (CORN), 2000; Ohene-Frempong, 2001; US Department of Health and Human Services,
Public Health Service, 1993). Reminders about the need for this prophylactic agent should be
offered at each clinical contact.
Folic Acid supplementation will not be required for patients on BABY HUG. It may be
prescribed at parental or Clinical Center preference. It is very unlikely that infants enrolled on this
study will be deficient in folate. The majority will either still be drinking or just have been weaned
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-8.wpd — 8/09
Page 8-4 of 8-10
from high folic acid containing infant formula. The widespread fortification of a variety of foods with
folic acid and the generally adequate diets of young patients with sickle cell anemia should prevent
folate deficiency.
Supplemental iron will be prescribed only for documented iron deficiency or bleeding or
similar reasons. Adequacy of iron stores will be documented at study entry and every six months
and supplemented as necessary.
8.4
PARENT EDUCATION
All parental and caregiver education routinely offered to families of patients with sickle cell
anemia should be provided to BABY HUG participants. However, in order to standardize some
aspects of care the following suggestions are offered for each Clinical Center to review with BABY
HUG families at quarterly visits :
Fever: The temperature should be measured if the child feels hot. Families should be
advised to have a thermometer at home and taught how to accurately use it. They should be
instructed to seek medical attention for any temperature over 101.50F regardless of route (oral,
axillary or rectal) measured. The parent or caregiver should be cautioned against use of
antipyretics unless recommended by treating physicians. They are encouraged to seek medical
attention for all febrile episodes. The medical response to a reported history of fever should include
a complete blood count, blood culture, and an empiric dose of parenteral antibiotics (usually
ceftriaxone) effective against encapsulated organisms. Admission or outpatient management will
be at local option (Mountain States Regional Genetic Services Network, 2000; Council of Regional
Networks for Genetic Services (CORN), 2000).
Neutropenia: A complete blood count with differential white blood cell count should be
performed at the Clinical Center or site of care with each febrile event. If the absolute neutrophil
count (ANC) on the local blood count is below 1,000/uL, the child should be admitted to the hospital
for observation and parenteral antibiotics. BABY HUG study medication should be stopped and
the Medical Coordinating Center notified. If the ANC on the local blood count exceeds 1,250/uL
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-8.wpd — 8/09
Page 8-5 of 8-10
prior to hospital discharge, BABY HUG study medication should be resumed at the same dose as
on admission. If on hospital discharge the ANC on the local blood count is still below 1,250/uL, the
patient and family should be instructed not to resume treatment until a local scheduled blood
specimen shows a count of 1,250/µL or greater.
If the absolute neutrophil count on local blood count is between 1,000/uL and 1,250/uL
during evaluation for a febrile event, the BABY HUG study medication should be stopped. The
patient may be treated as an outpatient or admitted at local option. If admitted, BABY HUG study
treatments will be stopped as above. If managed as an outpatient, the patient should remain off
BABY HUG study medication until a local scheduled blood count is performed and the count is
1,250/µL or greater.
Hospitalization: The BABY HUG study medication should be continued during all clinically
indicated hospitalizations unless the ANC of a BABY HUG participant is found to be below
1,250/uL. Then the study medication should be stopped and the Medical Coordinating Center
notified. Study treatment should be resumed at the same dose when the ANC on the local blood
count exceeds 1,250/uL. If the patient is otherwise able to be discharged to outpatient
management before the ANC recovers, the patient and family should be instructed not to resume
treatment until the next scheduled local blood specimen can be reviewed. The Clinical Center
Principal Investigator and Nurse Coordinator will not review the local blood counts for mean
corpuscular volume (MCV) or other parameters that may compromise blinding of the patient’s study
medication assignment.
Positive Cultures: The blood culture (plus cerebrospinal fluid -- CSF -- or urine cultures if
performed) obtained at all febrile encounters will be monitored by each Clinical Center. Positive
cultures from normally sterile sites will be managed according to Clinical Center preference and
reported to the Medical Coordinating Center. The organism should be identified; if possible, and
antibiotic sensitivities obtained. The serotype of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from sterile
sites for patients on this trial should be obtained if possible.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-8.wpd — 8/09
Page 8-6 of 8-10
Varicella: The family should be instructed to contact the Clinical Center for suspected
varicella infection. If the child is febrile, management should be as above. If fever does not exceed
101.50 F, no extra CBC is required. BABY HUG study medication should be stopped for all
episodes of varicella and the Medical Coordinating Center notified. BABY HUG medication should
be resumed at the same dose when all lesions are crusted over. Acyclovir may be prescribed at
Clinical Center discretion.
Tuberculosis: Surveillance for exposure to tuberculosis is standard in many pediatric clinic
populations. If a patient receiving BABY HUG study medication is incidentally found to have a
positive tuberculosis skin test (PPD), a repeat PPD and chest radiograph should be done per
standard practice. If the chest radiograph and physical examination show no signs of active
tuberculosis, the child should be treated as appropriate and the study medication continued once
the PPD treatment is no longer a risk for continuation of the study treatment. If the chest
radiograph is positive or there is evidence of active infection with tuberculosis, the child’s situation
should be discussed with the Operations Committee.
Transfusion Therapy: The use of blood products as therapy for a clinical event will be at
the option of the Clinical Center. The red cell products selected should be matched for Rh (CcDEe)
and Kell if possible. Similarly leukofiltration of all cellular blood components should be considered,
if available. Chronic transfusion therapy for any indication, an option that would remove the patient
from study treatment, should be discussed with the Operations Committee prior to implementation.
Steady State Hematologic Values: Many clinical decisions in the young patient with sickle
cell anemia are based upon steady state hemoglobin levels. Obtaining such data on patients in
BABY HUG Clinical Centers could undermine blinding of treatment assignments. The Medical
Coordinating Center will provide the unblinded Primary Endpoint Person at each Clinical Center 3-
month rolling averages of steady state hemoglobin measurements monthly. Steady state is defined
by intervals when the patient is not having a febrile, acute chest syndrome, aplastic crisis or splenic
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-8.wpd — 8/09
Page 8-7 of 8-10
sequestration event. MCV and white cell or neutrophil counts will not be included with the
information on hemoglobin level.
Spleen and Splenic Sequestration: Parents and caregivers should be instructed in
techniques of spleen palpation at each clinical visit and asked to feel for the child’s spleen daily.
A newly palpable spleen or one more than 2 cm larger than previously noted should be reported
immediately to the Clinical Center, and the patient should have a CBC and be examined by a
physician or nurse practitioner knowledgeable about sickle cell anemia. The span of the spleen
below the costal margin in the midclavicular and anterior axillary lines should be carefully measured
and recorded (in centimeters) at each clinical visit.
Splenic sequestration and splenomegaly as defined in Appendix F will be recorded on the
appropriate study form as outlined in the Manual of Operations.
The management of splenic enlargement (admission, close outpatient follow-up or
transfusion) will be at the discretion of the Principal Investigator at each Clinical Center, but the
following guidelines should be used whenever appropriate/possible. On initial evaluation:
1.
Vital signs at presentation and q1-2 hours initially;
2.
Careful physical examination with assessment of pallor, measurement of spleen
size, presence of gallop, liver size; repeat examination q1-2 hours initially;
3.
Labs including CBC, WBC differential, reticulocytes STAT. Type and crossmatch
for packed red blood cells (PRBCs);
4.
If hypovolemic or with cardiovascular compromise, emergent infusion of intravenous
fluids (IVF) or PRBC to restore blood volume and maintain normal blood pressure.
If normovolemic, start IVF at 1x maintenance.
5.
Admission unless stable over 4-8 hour period; close follow-up.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-8.wpd — 8/09
Page 8-8 of 8-10
On admission:
1.
Monitor heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), pulse oximetry q2 hours until stable,
then q4h;
2.
Repeat CBC studies q4-12 hours;
3.
Maintain IVF at 1x maintenance;
4.
If febrile obtain blood culture and begin antibiotics, e.g. cefuroxime 50 mg/kg IV
every 8 hours;
5.
Transfuse for evidence of hypotension, cardiovascular (CV) compromise, enlarging
tender spleen with 10-15 cc/kg over 4 hours.
If no CV compromise, transfuse if Hgb <5 gm/dL for stable splenomegaly
regardless of reticulocyte count; if Hgb> 5gm/dL transfuse at Principal Investigator
discretion.
Goal of transfusion is Hgb about 8 gm/dL, (splenic unloading of trapped RBC may
cause an "overshoot phenomenon");
6.
Supplemental oxygen until condition is stable (or acute episode resolves);
7.
Other clinical interventions, including antipyretics and analgesics, at Principal
Investigator discretion.
After the initial splenic sequestration event, the child will be monitored every 2 weeks. The
decision to continue PRBC transfusions and/or proceed to splenectomy, will be at the discretion
of the Principal Investigator. However, the number of children undergoing splenectomy according
to local indications will be tabulated in each treatment group. Chronic transfusion therapy or
splenectomy, options that would remove the patient from study treatment or scintographic
evaluation of the primary (spleen) endpoint, should be discussed with the Operations Committee
prior to implementation.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-8.wpd — 8/09
Page 8-9 of 8-10
Episodes of splenomegaly, splenic sequestration and associated measures will be tabulated
and compared according to HU and placebo group assignment. If an excess of sequestration
events is found in the HU group, the DSMB may consider stopping the trial.
Renal: Parents and caregivers will be educated about the importance of the kidneys in
children with sickle cell disease, and reminded that the kidneys are special organs tested in the
BABY HUG trial. Infants should remain adequately hydrated at all times, as dehydration is
detrimental and could be injurious to the kidneys. Treatment that has potential risk to the kidneys,
such as prolonged use of aminoglycosides or high-dose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
should be avoided. Frequent urinary tract infections and hematuria will be documented during the
BABY HUG trial, as these findings may reflect or cause renal damage.
Painful Events (vaso-occlusive or dactylitis): Parents and caregivers will be educated about
dactylitis and painful events as part of their education about sickle cell disease. They will be taught
to push fluids and use ibuprofen and/or acetaminophen with codeine at home. Small supplies of
both analgesics should be prescribed for home use at routine clinical visits. They and caregivers
will be educated about dactylitis and painful events as part of their education about sickle cell
disease. The definition of a painful event is an event lasting two hours or more without obvious
cause requiring the use of one or more doses of non-steroidal or narcotic pain medication. Events
treated as an outpatient (including emergency room) or requiring admission will be reported at the
next Clinical Center contact and included in data entered. Events requiring admission will be
reported to the Medical Coordinating Center on appropriate form, and supporting documents
collected for central review.
Acute Chest Syndrome, Aplastic Crisis, Priapism: All events meeting defined criteria will
be reported to the Medical Coordinating Center on Event Report Forms. Clinical management,
including the need for simple or exchange transfusion will be at the option of each Clinical Center.
Chronic transfusion therapy, an option that would remove the patient from study treatment, should
be discussed with the Operations Committee prior to implementation.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-8.wpd — 8/09
Page 8-10 of 8-10
Parents will be educated about signs of acute chest syndrome (fever, respiratory symptoms)
and aplastic crisis (pallor, decreased energy) at regular clinic visits and asked to seek medical
attention should they occur. Parents of male children will be taught about priapism, a prolonged
painful erection of the penis, and asked to seek medical attention, if the episode persists beyond
two hours. Briefer episodes of priapism will be recorded at the next clinic visit.
Neurologic Events: Families will be taught standardized definitions of TIA, stroke and other
neurologic events and reminded at each clinical contact to call the Clinical Center immediately if
the child is not able to move arms or legs (unrelated to pain), has facial drooping or dysarthria.
Each Clinical Center will promptly evaluate such patients. The minimum evaluation must include
documentation of complete neurologic examination, preferably by a neurologist. If the neurologist
suspects stroke or TIA clinically, neuroimaging including MRI/MRA must be done. If a stroke is
confirmed, acute management will be at the preference of the Clinical Center. Transfusion timing
and technique (exchange or simple) will be at Clinical Center preference. Chronic transfusion
therapy, an option that would remove the patient from study treatment, should be discussed with
the Operations Committee prior to implementation.
If transcranial Doppler (TCD) screening is part of an individual Clinical Center’s standard
care, such testing should be offered to patients enrolled in BABY HUG as per usual practice. TCD
screening is not yet universally available or standardized for children less than two years of age.
If screening is performed and values are persistently abnormally elevated in children over 2 years
of age, the parents should be offered chronic transfusion therapy for the child in accordance with
standard practice at each Clinical Center. Patients for whom chronic transfusion therapy is
considered should be discussed in advance with the Operations Committee.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 9
SPECIAL STUDIES AND READING GROUPS
9.1
INTRODUCTION
Special studies and event reports that will be centrally evaluated by individuals blind to
treatment assignment and independent of the BABY HUG Clinical Centers include liver-spleen
scans, pitted cell counts, karyotype and chromosome breakage studies, VDJ mutation studies,
immunological function studies, clinical events, and serum Cystatin C levels.
9.2
PITTED CELL COUNTS
Pitted cell counts will be done in a single laboratory, the Pitted Cell Core Laboratory. Tubes
containing the glutaraldehyde buffer and directions for specimen collection will be provided to the
Clinical Centers by the Pitted Cell Core Laboratory. Pitted cell counts from specimens collected
at baseline, six, twelve, and eighteen months, and 24 months will be compared between treatment
groups. If the proportion of patients in the HU treatment group who have pitted cell count values
above a predetermined level (e.g., 3.5 or 7-10%) decreases in relation to the placebo group, this
finding will be interpreted as secondary outcome evidence of prevention by HU of injury to the
spleen.
9.3
CYTOGENETICS (KARYOTYPE AND CHROMOSOME BREAKAGE ANALYSES)
Fresh blood specimens will be analyzed for karyotype and chromosome breakage at
baseline and 24 months in a cytogenetics laboratory. White blood cells will be taken from fresh
specimens shipped on wet ice, overnight to the cytogenetics laboratory, cultured for 48 hours and
prepared with colchicine for morphologic study of the karyotype and chromosomes.
9.4
VDJ/DNA MUTATION STUDIES
Genomic DNA will be isolated using a standard commercially available kit (Puregene DNA
Isolation Kit, Gentra Systems Inc.). The purified DNA will be quantitated using a spectrophotometer
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-9.wpd — 8/09
Page 9-2 of 9-4
and used directly in the VDJ mutation assay. Leftover DNA will be frozen at -70°C and used for
future studies assuming proper IRB authorization and patient consent is in place.
The overall goal of the VDJ studies is the investigation and quantification of the mutagenic
and carcinogenic risks of HU therapy for very young children with SCD enrolled in the BABY HUG
study. To accomplish this goal, we will analyze peripheral blood for the presence of changes in
chromosomal integrity that indicate unrepaired genetic damage. The specific aims of the VDJ
mutation study are: to quantitate the frequency of “illegitimate” VDJ recombination events that
occur between the T cell receptor gamma (TCR-gamma) and beta (TCR-beta) gene loci located
on chromosome 7; and to compare the frequency of VDJ mutational events among patients
assigned to hydroxyurea as compared with the placebo group, using serial measurements for both
groups.
Quantitations of Howell-Jolly bodies will also be performed. For each of the patients, a
small aliquot of RBC will be fixed in ice-cold methanol and frozen at -85°C according to a previously
published protocol. This sample will be shipped frozen to Litron Laboratories, Inc. in Rochester,
NY and analyzed by flow cytometry for quantitation of Howell-Jolly bodies (micronuclei) in both
immature and mature erythrocytes.
9.5
LIVER-SPLEEN SCANS
Tc99m sulfur colloid liver-spleen scans will be performed according to standard techniques.
Results will be assessed at the end of the study by a panel of 3 pediatric radiologists unaware of
the treatment assignment of the patient. Two readers will be given copies of the entry and exit
Tc99m sulfur colloid liver-spleen scans and asked to score each scan as splenic uptake “normal”
(80-100% of liver uptake), decreased (splenic uptake 20-79% of liver uptake) or absent (splenic
uptake 0-19% of liver uptake). In case of disagreement between the two readers, a third reader
on the panel will evaluate the scan, and the final evaluation will be that of the majority. The
proportion of patients in each treatment group classified by spleen function (normal, decreased, or
absent) and the proportion of entry and exit scan pairs demonstrating a decline (from one category
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-9.wpd — 8/09
Page 9-3 of 9-4
to another) in splenic function will be compared in the HU vs placebo treated groups. Paired scans
that demonstrate an improvement in uptake will be scored as not demonstrating a decline.
9.6
ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND
A central reader with specialty expertise in pediatric ultrasound studies will advise the BABY
HUG investigators on performance standards for abdominal ultrasound studies and image
preparation. These images will be read centrally, blind to treatment assignment for assessment
for gallstones, kidney size, spleen size and liver enlargement.
9.7
HYDROXYUREA ASSAY
Quantitative assays of hydroxyurea will be performed on selected bottles of study
treatments at the end of manufacturing after reconstitution. Also, plasma levels of hydroxyurea will
be assessed at the time of first dose, approximately one month after the first dose, and upon exit
from the study.
9.8
IMMUNE FUNCTION STUDIES
To determine the effects of hydroxyurea treatment on antibody responses to standard
vaccines administered before and during hydroxyurea therapy, baseline pneumococcal antibody
level (in response to pneumococcal conjugate vaccine administered at two, four and six months of
age -- prior to study entry) and after 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (given at 24
months of age) will be measured. Antibody levels for measles, mumps and rubella (vaccine given
at 12 - 15 months of age) before and after immunization will be measured for those enrolled prior
to vaccination.
To determine the effects of hydroxyurea treatment on T cell maturation and T cell responses
to a vaccine administered during hydroxyurea therapy, we will measure peripheral blood naïve
(CD45RA) and memory (CD45RO) CD4 and CD8 cells at entry and 12 and 24 months thereafter.
To determine the effects of hydroxyurea treatment on serum opsonophagocytic function,
we will measure opsonophagocytic activity against pneumococci at study entry, after the 24-month
of age pneumococcal immunization, and at the end of treatment (24 months on study treatment).
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-9.wpd — 8/09
Page 9-4 of 9-4
Measurement of relative contributions of complement and antibody to opsonophagocytic activity
will be accomplished by comparing the activity of fresh versus heat-treated sera.
9.9
CLINICAL EVENTS
Description of Clinical Events will be based on Clinical Event Forms submitted to the MCC
where they will be classified by independent pediatric hematologists or neurologists. Independent
review for adjudication by a third physician will be performed in the case of disagreement.
Definitions of clinical events will be based on CSSCD, HUSOFT and other published experience
with pediatric sickle cell anemia and provided in a separate classification criteria document.
9.10
TRANSCRANIAL DOPPLER (TCD)
Transcranial Doppler studies will be performed by trained technicians from a Central
Laboratory located in the Medical College of Georgia (MCG), Augusta, Georgia, or by local Clinical
Center examiners trained and certified by the MCG technicians. The Central Laboratory will
perform standardized readings of the studies (supported by grant funding independent of the BABY
HUG contracts).
9.11
CYSTATIN C
Leftover serum from the biochemistry treatment initiation and exit specimens sent to the
Biochemistry Core Laboratory will be shipped to the DNA/VDJ Core Laboratory for determining
Cystatin C levels.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 10
FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURES
10.1
INTRODUCTION
Patients will be followed every two weeks for at least eight weeks after study treatment
initiation. Subsequent visits will be every 4 weeks unless toxicity occurs. The total follow-up is a
minimum of 24 months. During the period of study treatment at each monthly visit, a medical
review will be conducted to determine any adverse or acute events and adherence to study
medication. Medical history and adherence forms will be completed. At each of these regularly
scheduled visits, a complete blood count will be assessed locally by a physician who is not
otherwise affiliated with BABY HUG, and who will keep this information confidential except as
needed for urgent patient management on the day of the visit. All adverse events in a patient will
be reported on the appropriate form accompanied by appropriate documentation from the medical
record. Appendix A shows an ideal schedule of patient visits and data collection. A patient’s actual
schedule will depend on his/her toxicities.
10.2
FOLLOW-UP VISITS
The BABY HUG Clinical Center staff will perform all study visit examinations. Study patients
will be evaluated in accordance with good clinical practice. The Medical Coordinating Center
(MCC) will be responsible for organizing and transmitting data from clinical laboratory studies
outlined in the Protocol and for endpoint adjudication. Under the direction of the MCC, a Pharmacy
Distribution Center (PDC) will distribute hydroxyurea and placebo to Clinical Centers where dose
adjustments will be prescribed based on information from the MCC. At the monthly visits, medical
reviews will be conducted, and measurements of weight (height and head circumference every
three months), ascertainment of possible adverse events, major procedures, and current therapies
(including hydroxyurea outside of study treatment) will be recorded. Blood specimens for CBCs will
be collected and analyzed locally. Other blood specimens will be collected and prepared for
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-2 of 10-22
shipment to the Core Laboratory every six months or at study entry/exit. Each patient’s current
address and telephone number will be updated and maintained in the Clinical Center files.
Although not mandatory, each Clinical Center is encouraged to set aside a specific day of the week
for BABY HUG clinic visits, preferably early in the week to allow dose adjustments before the
weekend. In addition, a specified clinic day may help to increase adherence to the Protocol.
10.2.1 Real Time Complete Blood Counts
1.
Each Clinical Center will designate the person (a hematologist, or nurse practitioner
or physician’s assistant qualified to perform this task relative to the regulations of
the state health regulations, who has no other BABY HUG responsibility) who will
monitor each child's blood work that is performed locally at each clinic visit.
2.
The Primary Endpoint Person (PEP) will data enter the CBCs into the BABY HUG
database vis the Internet Data Entry System within one day of collecting the
specimen or by 9:00 a.m. of the following morning.
3.
The PEP will keep the local laboratory results in a locked file with no access by
BABY HUG staff.
4.
The MCC will check the local lab data for violating BABY HUG toxicity and/or alert
levels and will send the appropriate messages to the PEP.
5.
The designee, if in his/her clinical judgment, believes a toxicity and/or alert level has
been crossed, will contact the Clinical Center Principal Investigator to notify of the
toxicity and/or alert and to arrange for appropriate emergency clinical care.
If the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) on the local blood count is below 1250/uL or the Hgb
<6.0 g/dl or the Hgb has dropped 20% or more from the three-month rolling average or the platelet
count is <80,000 mm3, study treatment should be stopped and the child should be clinically
evaluated to determine if intervention is required. BABY HUG study medication should be stopped
and the Medical Coordinating Center notified.
If the ANC on the local blood count exceeds 1,250/uL prior to hospital discharge, BABY
HUG study medication should be resumed at the same dose as on admission. If on hospital
discharge the ANC on the local blood count is still below 1,250/uL, the patient and family should
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-3 of 10-22
be instructed not to resume treatment until a scheduled local blood specimen is above 1,250/uL and
reviewed in the Medical Coordinating Center.
If the absolute neutrophil count on local blood count is between 1,000/uL and 1,250/uL
during evaluation for a febrile event, the BABY HUG study medication should be stopped. The
patient may be treated as an outpatient or admitted at local option. If admitted, BABY HUG study
treatments will be stopped as above. If managed as an outpatient, the patient should remain off
BABY HUG study medication until a scheduled blood count is performed locally and reviewed in
the Medical Coordinating Center.
10.2.2 Ascertainment of Specified Events and Possible Adverse Effects in Patients
At each visit, parents will be queried regarding recent medical events or procedures. Events
will be documented to ascertain the nature of the event, including special treatment(s) and their
indication(s). Reportable events and hospitalizations will be recorded on event forms and followed
up by the BABY HUG PEP, who will review hospital charts, medical records and office visit records.
These forms will be forwarded to the MCC and maintained in a locked file by the PEP.
The event report forms and documentation will identify the occurrence of death, stroke with
neurologic deficit, splenic sequestration, dactylitis, pain, acute chest syndrome, priapism,
splenomegaly, biliary obstruction, hepatopathy, hepatic sequestration, pancreatitis, fever >101.5°
F (38.5° C), acute renal failure, permanent renal failure, sepsis, severe neutropenia, aplastic crisis,
acute osteomyelitis, transient ischemic attack and hospitalizations for sickle cell related events. If
any study patient dies, efforts will be made to obtain complete post-mortem information. Discharge
summaries and narratives of the fatal events will be sent with study forms to the MCC. All
reportable events, whether treated on an out-patient or in-patient basis, will be reviewed by the
Central Review Group (the NHLBI Project Director and the MCC Medical Consultant). Adverse
treatment effects will be reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

10.2.3 BABY HUG Adverse Event Reporting
10.2.3.1 Introduction
The safety of interventions and treatments associated with this protocol will be under
continual review by the MCC, NHLBI, NICHD and DSMB. Accrual, efficacy and safety data will be
monitored by all four groups.
Accrual and safety data will be reviewed annually by each center’s Institutional Review
Board (IRB). Prior to implementation of this study, the Protocol and the proposed patient consent
forms will be reviewed and approved by the properly constituted Institutional Review Board (IRB)
operating according to the 45 CFR 46 code of federal regulations. This committee will also approve
all amendments to the Protocol or informed consent, and conduct continuing annual review so long
as BABY HUG is open to accrual or follow-up of subjects.
The NHLBI Data and Safety Monitoring Board will review the Protocol at 6 month intervals.
A progress report showing results according to treatment assignment will be forwarded to the
DSMB at these times and their recommendations will be expeditiously implemented. The DSMB
members will be provided with monthly reports documenting each child’s growth, development and
progress in BABY HUG. The DSMB may recommend early termination of the study for
considerations of safety or efficacy.
Monitoring for unanticipated adverse clinical effects will be done using event forms. The
Clinical Center staff will determine the degree of severity (mild to fatal). Event forms will be
submitted to the Medical Coordinating Center (MCC) and tabulated based on the affected organ
system. Each serious AE (SAE) will be reported to the MCC within 24 hours of the event;
supporting information will be required from the Clinical Center. MCC staff and the central review
group will immediately review the report to determine if the event is serious. If so, MCC staff will
send the information to the NHLBI and NICHD Project Officers and the FDA for review. The
occurrence of serious AEs will be reported to the Clinical Center IRBs within 24 hours of NHLBI
review.

A serious adverse event is any of the following.
1.
death
2.
a life-threatening event
3.
prolonged hospitalization (greater than 7 days)

splenic sequestration crisis
5.

Any AE that is related to study treatment and unexpected
Certain Serious Adverse Events that are sickle cell related have been added to the list, as
defined by the FDA. Item #3 has been modified from the FDA definition given that frequent
hospitalizations occur as a consequence of having sickle cell anemia without being enrolled in a
clinical trial. Any serious adverse events (as defined by the FDA) which are not included in the
above list, will be summarized and reported semi-annually. The Clinical Centers will be required
to provide supporting information using a MedWatch Form 3500A for the events in the above list.
In addition to this reporting mechanism, a centralized over-ride system will be carried out
by individuals with knowledge about the treatment assignments. These individuals will review
adverse events that are not thought to be serious in the eyes of the blinded investigators and make
decisions about whether an adverse event is “serious” and reportable to the FDA. The two central
review individuals will be the NHLBI Project Officer and MCC Medical Consultant. Either of these
individuals will have the ability to elevate an adverse event being reported to the MCC to the
“serious” category which will precipitate the collection of the required information for the MedWatch
Form 3500A and a subsequent report to the FDA.
Adverse events and serious adverse events will be listed individually and according to body
system, designated according to severity (mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening, or fatal), and
likelihood of relation to study treatment (not related, possibly, probably or definitely related), and
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-6 of 10-22
classified according to action taken (none, treatment stopped or interrupted, specific treatment
instituted) and outcome (recovery without change in previous condition, some impairment,
significant impairment, or death).
10.2.3.2 DBDR Adverse Event Coverage
NHLBI Division of Blood Diseases and Resources (DBDR) staff will examine all adverse
event reports from BABY HUG in real time and discuss with the BABY HUG Operations Committee
appropriate clinical management. NHLBI - DBDR will hold emergency meetings to review adverse
event reports as they occur. These DBDR staff will alternate night and week-end coverage via cell-
phone so that the BABY HUG MCC will have access to a DBDR staff person at all times to discuss
the management of adverse events in BABY HUG subjects.
10.2.3.3 Elevated Adverse Event Rate Detection
Events to be centrally reviewed include all serious adverse events (e.g., death or events that
are life-threatening, or events that cause or prolong hospitalization), splenic sequestration crisis,
acute chest syndrome, stroke, transient ischemic attacks and ICU admissions. Other clinical
occurrences will be denoted as having occurred or not occurred on clinic visit reports. There is
adequate statistical power in BABY HUG to detect 50% differences between treatment groups at
alpha = 0.01 if the event rates are in the range expected from the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell
Disease (CSSCD) and the study is completed with 200 patients. The BABY HUG investigators do
not plan for early termination based on clinical events other than demonstrated inferiority of
hydroxyurea for the outcomes death, stroke or splenic sequestration.
The most important clinical events other than death and stroke are acute chest syndrome
(ACS) and splenic sequestration (defined in Appendix F). Each child will be clinically evaluated
repeatedly to determine if he/she has had acute chest syndrome, splenic sequestration or a
serious, unexpected adverse event in the course of the study period. The proportion of very young
children experiencing these adverse events will be compared according to assigned treatment. A
one-sided test-based confidence interval (alpha = 0.005) will be used to determine if very young
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-7 of 10-22
children treated with HU have significantly higher frequencies than very young children treated with
placebo. If the test-based, one-sided confidence interval does not cover zero, the Steering
Committee proposes that the DSMB will consider all relevant information for the study and will
recommend that the clinical trial not continue and HU not be recommended as a treatment for very
young children.
10.2.3.4 Interim Reports
Adverse events used to evaluate the safety of the BABY HUG regimen will be collected to
include any unfavorable and unintended signs (including abnormal laboratory findings), symptoms
or diseases (i.e. incidence of stroke, renal failure, regimen related toxicities, or infectious
complications), which either occur during the study, having been absent at baseline or if present
at baseline, appear to worsen and are determined to be possibly, probably or definitely related to
this investigational treatment.
Although the size of the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study was chosen to allow the BABY
HUG investigators to evaluate several administrative issues of the overall study design, it will be
important to monitor the study in an ongoing fashion with respect to performance criteria and the
occurrence of adverse events. For analyses other than those discussed above, we will protect our
findings against finding spurious associations due to the large number of repeated tests of
significance that will be performed. To do this, we propose to use monitoring bounds (for HU
versus control comparisons) of 0.01 rather than 0.05 for the safety and adverse event evaluations
listed below. We propose the following monitoring.
Monitoring Safety and Adverse Events
The DSMB Chair, Executive Secretary of DSMB, and NHLBI and NICHD Project Officers
will review monthly reports including:
1.
Recruitment: Expected vs. Actual
2.
Patients screened, eligible and randomized
3.
Patient characteristics at baseline

10.2.3.5 Analysis of Death or Stroke
Death and clinically manifest stroke represent the most adverse outcomes that can occur
within this study, and it will be important to determine if HU treatment results in an excess number
of these types of events. These two outcomes will be evaluated separately from each other. One-
sided test-based confidence intervals (alpha = 0.05) will be used to determine if very young children
treated with HU have a significantly higher frequency of either outcome than very young children
treated with placebo. If the 95% one-sided confidence interval for either stroke or death does not
cover 0, it will be recommended that the trial not proceed and that HU not be used as a treatment
for very young children.
Clinical Centers will be expected to report to the Medical Coordinating Center the
occurrence of death or stroke within 24 hours of learning about the event. The Medical
Coordinating Center will prepare a report immediately with the information at hand for the NHLBI
and NICHD Project Officers, Executive Secretary of DSMB and the DSMB Chair. Within 10 days,
the Medical Coordinating Center staff will provide an updated report for the NHLBI and NICHD
Project Officers, DSMB Executive Secretary, and for the DSMB Chair. Each case will be reviewed
individually with the DSMB. The NHLBI Project Officer and DSMB Executive Secretary will file
reports on each death or stroke with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the study
IND. If the p-value for an association of death or of stroke with hydroxyurea is between 0.05 and
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-10 of 10-22
0.20 after any occurrence, the members of the DSMB will review all death or stroke reports in BABY
HUG in aggregate and with other study data to consider whether or not there is a concern that
should be addressed with a Protocol revision or study termination.
10.2.3.6 Analysis of Growth and Development
We will analyze each child’s weight (monthly), height (quarterly), head circumference
(quarterly) and growth velocity (monthly). We will measure their neurodevelopment (Bayley,
Vineland) annually. Height, weight and head circumference growth will be analyzed using actual
measurements and percentiles standardized to the CSSCD population of children with HbSS for
height and weight, and to a normal black American population for head circumference (Pivnick et
al, 1999). Average scores for the two treatment groups will be compared to test:
HO: :2 > :1
versus the alternative:
HA: :2 < :1,
where :2 is the mean of measurements or percentiles for children assigned to HU and :1 is the
mean of measurements or percentiles for children assigned to placebo.
Each test will be a t-test performed on the estimates of height, weight and head
circumference calculated for each child. It is proposed that DSMB members review individual
growth and height for possible clinical indications of adverse effects of HU on height and weight if
the mean in HU-treated very young children is between 1 and 2 standard deviations (SD) below the
mean for placebo-treated very young children and to stop the study if the mean of HU-treated very
young children is more than 2 SDs below placebo treated very young children.
For review, DSMB members will be provided with the growth curves of each child printed
on paper with percentiles from the CSSCD and specifying treatment assignment, and a graph of
the average growth velocity over three month intervals according to time from study entry and
treatment. Growth will be analyzed with cubic models (mixed model analysis of variance to
incorporate child-specific random effects, and in treatment group comparisons to account for
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-11 of 10-22
correlation of serial measurements) fit to each child. Growth velocity will be estimated with the first
derivative with respect to time of the cubic models. Curves will be plotted as each child’s
percentiles for growth over time also.
Neuro-development questionnaires will be administered annually. For the evaluation of this
endpoint, we will compare the one-year cognitive function between toddlers treated with HU and
toddlers treated with placebo.
If a test-based, one-sided 99% confidence interval of the difference in mean Bayley score
at one-year does not cover zero, it will be recommended that the trial not continue and that HU not
be used as a treatment for very young children.
10.2.3.7 Analysis of Acute Chest Syndrome, Splenic Sequestration and Serious,
Unexpected Adverse Events
The most important clinical events other than death and stroke are acute chest syndrome
(ACS) and splenic sequestration (as defined in Appendix F). Each very young child will be clinically
evaluated repeatedly to determine if he/she has had acute chest syndrome, splenic sequestration
or a serious, unexpected adverse event in the course of the two-year follow-up period. The
proportion of very young children experiencing these adverse events will be compared according
to assigned treatment. A one-sided test-based confidence interval (alpha = 0.005) will be used to
determine if very young children treated with HU have significantly higher frequencies than very
young children treated with placebo. If the test-based, one-sided confidence interval does not cover
zero, the Steering Committee proposes that the DSMB will consider all relevant information for the
study and recommend that the clinical trial not continue and HU not be recommended as a
treatment for very young children.
10.2.3.8
Alert and Monitoring Levels
The local Primary Endpoint person will review the local CBC results to determine if an alert
is present in the data. In addition, the Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory data and the
local CBC data will be used by the MCC to monitor electronically for values exceeding alert levels.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-12 of 10-22
Alert laboratory values (Table 10-1) are indicators to the MCC and the Center staff that the patient
requires clinical follow-up and are distinct from toxicity values (Section 6.4). The laboratory alerts
are intended as possible indicators of adverse events such as splenic sequestration, aplastic crises,
renal insufficiency, etc requiring treatment interruptions and further clinical evaluations or
interventions by the Center staff.

Page 10-14 of 10-22
If an alert level is detected, the Clinical Center will use the following guidelines for
responding to notification of an alert.
1.
The PEP will handle the alert in a straightforward manner when possible, or, more
likely, contact a Hematologist/Sickle Cell Specialist who is not directly connected
with the BABY HUG Trial.
2.
When indicated, the PEP and the Hematologist will develop a plan for a clinical
response to the alert value. (For example: If the patient were severely neutropenic
and febrile, the patient would be hospitalized for antibiotic treatment; if the patient
had > 20% decrease in hemoglobin level, the patient would be hospitalized and/or
transfused; if the patient met criteria for a splenic sequestration, the patient would
be hospitalized and/or transfused; etc.)
3.
In the event that no non-BABY HUG Hematologist was available, the PEP would
need to contact the BABY HUG PI and discuss a course of action. In doing so, the
PEP would provide the PI only with “need to know” laboratory information. In most
cases this would not create an unblinding problem because, for example: severe
neutropenia may more likely be related to an acute viral infection rather than HU
toxicity; worse anemia might be caused by an aplastic crisis or splenic sequestration
rather than HU; splenic sequestration might or might not be related HU, etc. In most
situations, CBC values would not readily distinguish between treatment with
hydroxyurea or placebo, although it is important that the MCV should not be
revealed to the PI or BABY HUG Study Coordinators.
4.
In the ensuing management of the child, the bulk of the decision-making will be
carried out by the non-BABY HUG Hematologist and the PEP.
5.
The alert values for increased hematologic blood counts will not necessarily warrant
any immediate reaction by a clinician.

10.2.4 Adverse Event Management
Spleen and Splenic Sequestration: Parents and caregivers should be instructed in
techniques of spleen palpation at each clinical visit and asked to feel for the child’s spleen daily.
A newly palpable spleen or one more than 2 cm larger than previously noted should be reported
immediately to the Clinical Center, and the patient should have a CBC and be examined by a
physician or nurse practitioner knowledgeable about sickle cell anemia. In order to assure the
availability of steady state hemoglobin level information, the Medical Coordinating Center will
provide each Primary Endpoint Person with a three-month rolling average of each patient’s
hemoglobin measurements. The span of the spleen below the costal margin in the midclavicular
and anterior axillary lines should be carefully measured and recorded (in centimeters) at each
clinical visit.
Splenic sequestration and splenomegaly as defined in Appendix F will be recorded on the
appropriate study form as outlined in the Manual of Operations.
The management of splenic enlargement (admission, close outpatient follow-up or
transfusion) will be at the discretion of a non BABY HUG hematologist or unblinded physician at
each Clinical Center, but the following guidelines should be used whenever appropriate/possible.
On initial evaluation:
1.
Vital signs at presentation and q1-2 hours initially;
2.
Careful physical examination with assessment of pallor, measurement of spleen
size, presence of gallop, liver size; repeat examination q1-2 hours initially;
3.
Labs including CBC, WBC differential, reticulocytes STAT. Type and crossmatch for
packed red blood cells (PRBCs);
4.
If hypovolemic or with cardiovascular compromise, emergent infusion of intravenous
fluids (IVF) or PRBC to restore blood volume and maintain normal blood pressure.
If normovolemic, start IVF at 1x maintenance.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-16 of 10-22
5.
Admission unless stable over 4-8 hour period; close follow-up.
On admission:
1.
Monitor heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), pulse oximetry q2 hours until stable,
then q4h;
2.
Repeat CBC studies q4-12 hours;
3.
Maintain IVF at 1x maintenance;
4.
If febrile obtain blood culture and begin antibiotics, e.g. cefuroxime 50 mg/kg IV
every 8 hours;
5.
Transfuse for evidence of hypotension, cardiovascular (CV) compromise, enlarging
tender spleen with 10-15 cc/kg over 4 hours.
If no CV compromise, transfuse if Hgb <5 gm/dL for stable splenomegaly regardless
of reticulocyte count; if Hgb> 5gm/dL transfuse at Principal Investigator discretion.
Goal of transfusion is Hgb about 8 gm/dL, (splenic unloading of trapped RBC may
cause an "overshoot phenomenon");
6.
Supplemental oxygen until condition is stable (or acute episode resolves);
7.
Other clinical interventions, including antipyretics and analgesics, at Principal
Investigator discretion.
After the initial splenic sequestration event, the child will be monitored every 2 weeks. The
decision to continue PRBC transfusions and/or proceed to splenectomy, will be at the discretion
of the Principal Investigator. However, the number of children undergoing splenectomy according
to local indications will be tabulated in each treatment group. Chronic transfusion therapy or
splenectomy, options that would remove the patient from study treatment or scintographic
evaluation of the primary (spleen) endpoint, should be discussed with the Operations Committee
prior to implementation.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-17 of 10-22
Episodes of splenomegaly, splenic sequestration and associated measures will be tabulated
and compared according to HU and placebo group assignment. If an excess of sequestration
events is found in the HU group, the DSMB may consider stopping the trial.
Renal: Parents and caregivers will be educated about the importance of the kidney in
children with sickle cell disease, and reminded that the kidney is one of the special organs tested
in the BABY HUG trial. Infants should remain adequately hydrated at all times, as dehydration is
detrimental and could be injurious to the kidney. Medications that have potential risk to the kidney
such as prolonged use of aminoglycosides or high-dose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
should be avoided. Frequent urinary tract infections and hematuria will be documented during the
BABY HUG trials, as these findings may reflect or cause renal damage.
Painful Events (vaso-occlusive or dactylitis): Parents and caregivers will be educated about
dactylitis and painful events as part of their education about sickle cell disease. They will be taught
to push fluids and use ibuprofen and/or acetaminophen with codeine at home. Small supplies of
both analgesics should be prescribed for home use at routine clinical visits. They and caregivers
will be educated about dactylitis and painful events as part of their education about sickle cell
disease. The definition of a painful event is an event lasting two hours or more without obvious
cause requiring the use of one or more doses of non-steroidal or narcotic pain medication. Events
treated as an outpatient (including emergency room) or requiring admission will be reported at the
next Clinical Center contact and included in data entered. Events requiring admission will be
reported to the Medical Coordinating Center on appropriate form, and supporting documents
collected for central review.
Acute Chest Syndrome, Aplastic Crisis, Priapism: All events meeting defined criteria will
be reported to the Medical Coordinating Center on Event Report Forms. Clinical management,
including the need for simple or exchange transfusion will be at option of each Clinical Center.
Chronic transfusion therapy, an option that would remove the patient from study treatment, should
be discussed with the Operations Committee prior to implementation.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-18 of 10-22
Parents will be educated about signs of acute chest syndrome (fever, respiratory symptoms)
and aplastic crisis (pallor, decreased energy) at regular clinic visits and asked to seek medical
attention should they occur. Parents of male children will be taught about priapism, a prolonged
painful erection of the penis, and asked to seek medical attention, if the episode persists beyond
two hours. Briefer episodes of priapism will be recorded at the next clinic visit.
Neurologic Events: Families will be taught standardized definitions of TIA, stroke and other
neurologic events and reminded at each clinical contact to call the Clinical Center immediately if
the child is not able to move arms or legs (unrelated to pain), has facial drooping or dysarthria.
Each Clinical Center will promptly evaluate such patients. The minimum evaluation must include
documentation of complete neurologic examination, preferably by a neurologist. If the neurologist
suspects stroke or TIA clinically, neuroimaging including MRI/MRA must be done. If a stroke is
confirmed, acute management will be at the preference of the Clinical Center. Transfusion timing
and technique (exchange or simple) will be at Clinical Center preference. Chronic transfusion
therapy, an option that would remove the patient from study treatment, should be discussed with
the Operations Committee prior to implementation.
If transcranial Doppler (TCD) screening is part of an individual Clinical Center’s standard
care, such testing should be offered to patients enrolled in BABY HUG as per usual practice. TCD
screening is not yet universally available or standardized for children less than two years of age.
If screening is performed and values are persistently elevated in children over 2 years of age, the
parents should be offered chronic transfusion therapy for the child in accordance with standard
practice at each Clinical Center. Patients for whom chronic transfusion therapy is considered
should be discussed in advance with the Operations Committee.

Page 10-19 of 10-22
10.2.5 Laboratory Specimen and Data Collection
Blood specimens will be collected at designated follow-up visits by the Clinical Center staff.
A finger/heel stick or venipuncture may be performed for routine hematology evaluations. The blood
specimens will be analyzed locally (and every six months specimens will be shipped to the
Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory by overnight courier). Results of blood counts and
other blood studies performed locally used to monitor for hydroxyurea toxicity (bone marrow
depression) will be available within 24 hours of collection. Every six months, blood will be sent for
evaluation of liver function (ALT and bilirubin) and for renal function (BUN/Creatinine). The MCC
will obtain blood test results from the local laboratories daily and will review the studies to determine
the dose recommendation for hydroxyurea or placebo. Dosage adjustments or temporary treatment
stops will be performed for patients assigned to placebo so that patients and Clinical Center staff
will be blind to treatment assignments. The Pharmacy Distribution Center (PDC) will ship
hydroxyurea and placebo supplies to the Clinic Center for each patient on a regular basis. No
patient can receive a new drug prescription until a blood specimen has been analyzed locally.
Blood specimen containers and mailers will be provided by the Hematology and Biochemistry Core
Laboratory. The MCC will notify Clinical Centers within 48 hours of receipt of blood count to issue
directions to stop study treatment (either hydroxyurea or placebo). It will be the responsibility of the
Clinical Center to notify patients of stop orders.
10.3
PATIENT COMPLIANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The major obstacle to successfully completing follow-up procedures in BABY HUG will be
ensuring adherence with the study protocol, and in particular, study visits. The major responsibility
for this task rests with each Clinical Center. MCC staff will assist the Clinical Center staff with
schedules for follow-up, identification of patients whose follow-up is interrupted, and notification of
outstanding forms/data. If a patient misses three consecutive appointments, this patient will be
considered inactive in the study, and study treatment will be temporarily stopped. The patient will
become active again and resume study treatments only if the Clinical Center Principal Investigator
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-10.wpd — 8/09
Page 10-20 of 10-22
can explain the missed visits and provide a plan for more complete participation in the future. Extra
effort will be made to increase Protocol adherence for any patient who misses four or more visits
(not consecutive) in a six-month period.
Strategies to increase contact with BABY HUG patients may include:
1.
providing comprehensive care for management of the complications of sickle cell
anemia, including hydroxyurea therapy;
2.
maintaining availability through telephone contact with the patients’ parents;
3.
promoting accessible, positive contact with the Patient/Family advocate at any time
during the study (see Section 3.1 and Exhibit 3-1);
4.
maintaining up-to-date, accessible records of BABY HUG patient enrollees and
locator information including home address, telephone numbers;
5.
fostering supportive relationship with BABY HUG families;
6.
providing transportation reimbursement and meal vouchers ($30.00 per visit); and
7.
providing assistance with telephone service ($30.00 per month) or providing pager
system access for families.
If a patient leaves the study early (before 24 months of treatment) for any reason, every
attempt should be made to secure the exit studies at that time. The studies in order of priority are
Tc99m sulfur colloid liver-spleen scan, blood specimen collection (for pitted cell count, and fetal
hemoglobin determination), and abdominal ultrasound. If the patient plans to move to an area
served by another BABY HUG Clinical Center, the family should be offered the opportunity to
transfer care to the other Clinical Center. If they accept, the child will not need to become inactive
in the study. Subsequent follow-up and evaluations will be at the new Clinical Center and
reimbursement will be transferred to the new Clinical Center.

10.4
LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP
10.4.1 Introduction
At the end of the study treatment each family will be asked to agree to return for long-term
follow-up visits. If NHLBI and NICHD cannot fund this long-term follow-up, the investigators plan
to follow their subjects at the respective clinical sites for at least ten years. Hydroxyurea therapy
is part of the accepted management of adults, adolescents and school age children with severe
courses from their sickle cell disease. Two limited studies observed no additional toxicity from the
use of hydroxyurea by children from 6 months to 5 years of age for periods up to 4 years. However,
large numbers of persons with sickle cell disease of any age have not been followed for long
periods of time (decades) after initiation of hydroxyurea therapy.
Although a survival advantage has been suggested for severely involved adult patients who
took hydroxyurea in the MSH, it is unclear if the same benefit will occur in children, particularly
those prescribed the medication before the onset of a severe clinical course. Further, children must
continue to grow and develop toward adulthood. Problems from early use of hydroxyurea might
only become evident years after the completion of study treatment in BABY HUG. Thus, very
young children with sickle cell anemia must be carefully assessed longitudinally for all potential
toxicities, including oncogenic potential of this drug, to accurately determine the risks of
hydroxyurea use.
If benefit is demonstrated from early hydroxyurea therapy, it will be important to determine
how long that benefit continues. Thus, clinical ascertainment and structured evaluation should be
a part of the long term follow-up of this unique group of patients. Clinical care after the two-year
study treatment might or might not include use of hydroxyurea regardless of initial random treatment
assignment. An additional five to ten years of follow-up will provide important information to
physicians and parents of very young children with sickle cell anemia, with the goal to follow these
subjects for 5 to 10 years after the end of their participation in the randomized clinical trial if their
parents and the subjects are willing.

10.4.2 Follow-Up Data Collection
Data will be collected for all BABY HUG patients whose families agree to continue in follow-
up. A separate protocol and consent form will be developed for long-term follow-up. Consent will
be obtained after the end of treatment (the full, planned two-year course or earlier termination) in
BABY HUG. If NHLBI and NICHD cannot fund this long-term follow-up, the investigators plan to
follow their subjects at the respective clinical sites for at least ten years. All families would be
encouraged to participate in this portion of the study. Participating families will remain in follow-up
even if they decline specific follow-up evaluations.
10.4.3 Follow-Up Procedures
Standardized data collection forms will be submitted by the BABY HUG follow-up
coordinators at the times specified using the BABY HUG Internet data collection system. Even if
families decline to participate in specific follow-up testing or move from the area, the coordinator
will attempt to contact the family at intervals indicated to obtain information on clinical events (major
events and unusual events), growth, height, weight and head circumference, vital status and use
of hydroxyurea. With the family’s consent, this will include information from other health care
providers.
10.5
DEBRIEFING CONTACTS
After final BABY HUG treatment data have been collected and final reports on treatment
results prepared for presentation or submitted for publication, each patient’s family will be
scheduled for a debriefing contact. The families will be informed of their individual treatments, the
primary results of BABY HUG and the recommendations of the investigators. At the end of long-
term follow-up, the families will be informed of the results of long-term follow-up and any
reconsideration of the recommendations of the investigators.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 11
CLOSE-OUT PROCEDURES
11.1
OVERVIEW
Assuming no early stop of the study for reason of either efficacy or safety, at 24 months of
randomized study treatment for each patient, individual patients will have study treatment
discontinued and their families will be asked to agree to return for visits for the duration of BABY
HUG to allow collection of information on each child’s growth, health and well-being up to five
years. After the last patient enrolled has completed 24 months of randomized treatment, all
patients’ families (i.e., Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study and all other patients’ families) will be given
information on their children’s assigned treatments and on the findings of the study, as will be
determined by the Steering Committee, the Data and Safety Monitoring Board, the National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute and the NICHD.
11.2
DURATION OF RANDOMIZED, BLINDED STUDY TREATMENT
Patients will be followed on randomly assigned study treatment for 24 months. At 24
months, patients’ randomized, blinded study treatment will be discontinued. Patients will continue
being monitored for major medical events (see Section 10.2.1) through their regular pediatric
hematology care provider, who is expected to be in the BABY HUG Clinical Center, affiliated with
the BABY HUG Clinical Center, or by previous agreement the child’s regular pediatrician. If the
patient changes primary provider, Clinical Center staff will maintain contact with the family and if
necessary through the family with the new primary provider. The discontinuation of study treatment
at 24 months on study and the need to maintain contact up to the common termination will be
explained to the parents at the time that informed consent is obtained at study entry. The
explanation will be repeated in the course of the study and at the individual patient’s 24-month visit.
Contact with the family will be maintained to assure that monitoring for medical events will continue,
and that the family can return for final close-out when study results will be made available.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-11.wpd — 8/09
Page 11-2 of 11-3
Patients’ families and physicians will not be unblinded at the 24-month end of treatment visit.
Neither blinded study treatment nor open-label hydroxyurea will be provided by BABY HUG for
enrolled patients after 24 months. An assessment of the use of hydroxyurea for sickle cell anemia
in this age group will await final study results and a review of those results by the BABY HUG Data
and Safety Monitoring Board, Steering Committee, the NICHD and the National Heart, Lung, and
Blood Institute (NHLBI). Labelling for use of hydroxyurea in this age group will depend on the
determination of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if a supplemental New Drug
Application (NDA) is submitted.
11.3
DEBRIEFING CONTACTS
There will be two debriefing contacts. After final BABY HUG treatment data have been
collected and final reports on treatment results prepared for presentation or submitted for
publication, each patient’s family will be scheduled for a debriefing contact. The families will be
informed of their individual treatments, the primary results of BABY HUG and the recommendations
of the investigators. In a second debriefing contact at the end of long-term follow-up, the families
will be informed of the results of long-term follow-up and any reconsideration of the
recommendation of the investigators.
11.4
FINAL STUDY DATA AND DISSEMINATION OF RESULTS
Data processing and analysis of final study data will proceed on a “time-of-the-essence”
basis. The Data and Safety Monitoring Board will review the final data (see Section 4.4.4) including
the specified analysis for efficacy and safety at a planned final meeting. A final, consensus
recommendation from the DSMB, Steering Committee, NICHD and NHLBI will be shared first with
the study patients’ families (at which time they will also be informed of their assigned treatments).
This recommendation will be made public as soon as possible thereafter.
Submission of final BABY HUG data to the FDA will proceed under the terms of the
Investigational New Drug (IND) application filed by the NHLBI at the start of BABY HUG. In the
event that HU is found to be safe and efficacious for infants and very young children with sickle cell
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-11.wpd — 8/09
Page 11-3 of 11-3
anemia, study investigators, the NICHD and the NHLBI will support a submission to the FDA for
labeling for this new indication. In the event HU is not found to be safe and efficacious, established
procedures for submission of the study data in a final IND report to the FDA will be followed in an
orderly fashion.
The data closure upon which the determination of HU’s safety and efficacy, if any, is made
will form the basis of the final consensus recommendation and informing patients’ families of the
results. A final data closure, based on cleaned and complete data reporting, will be available for
the submission to the FDA, final archival and databank studies. Clinical Centers will implement the
following procedures for finalization of study data. All queries for data clean-up including resolution
of forms/procedures expected but not completed, as determined by the MCC, will be addressed
within two months of the last patient visit. Clinical Centers will be responsible for archiving records
that document reported events and specified outcomes. The MCC will archive all electronic study
data. Data from the Core Laboratories, Endpoints Evaluation Committees and medical records
serve as the definitive sources for patient outcomes in the study.
Archival of central source data, including Core Laboratory results, will be consistent with
requirements for a study conducted under an Investigational New Drug (IND) Exemption and
sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Storage of frozen and
preserved specimens will be maintained according to the requirements of NHLBI subcontracts. The
MCC will archive study data in accordance with FDA guidance and National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute requirements. Public data files will be made available according to National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute policy. The NHLBI will finalize the disposition of the IND report(s) according to
their agreement with the FDA under the IND.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 12
CONDUCT OF THE TRIAL
12.1
OVERVIEW
BABY HUG is a randomized, double blind clinical trial. Study procedures will be designed
and implemented so as to optimize data capture and assure the highest level of quality for the
scientific goals of the study while minimizing inconvenience to patients and inefficiencies in the
performance of the study. Appropriate mechanisms will be implemented to maintain the study on
schedule, provide tools and aids to Clinical Centers and other participating units in the performance
of their activities on behalf of the study and ultimately arrive at a study data set that will provide the
answers to the study primary objectives and key questions. Patient safety is the overriding
concern, while maintaining the integrity of the study, and consideration of the family’s efforts in their
child’s participation. Appropriate checks and monitoring systems will be implemented so that no
study patient or his/her family experience any untoward outcome or unnecessary difficulty.
12.2
TIMELINE
The study timeline is presented in Appendix D. Planning and study design, development
of the Protocol and Manual of Operations are scheduled for September 2000 through August 2003,
including review of the Protocol and model Informed Consent Form by the Data and Safety
Monitoring Board and the participating Institutional Review Boards (IRB). Meetings of the Steering
Committee and Data and Safety Monitoring Board are scheduled throughout the first year to meet
these goals.
Recruitment and enrollment for the Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study began in the fall of
2003. In January 2005, the DSMB authorized immediate continuation of recruitment following the
Feasibility and Safety Pilot Study with a goal of 200 patients total. Follow-up will continue through
2008. Patients will be taken off study treatment as they complete two years of randomized
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-12.wpd — 8/09
Page 12-2 of 12-16
treatment, but will continue to be followed through 2008. Final study data will be collected and
cleaned for the next two months, and main study results will be prepared as rapidly as possible for
review first with the DSMB, then with the investigators, then with the patients, and then with the
public.
12.3
PLANNING AND STUDY DESIGN
The Steering Committee will meet regularly during the first six months of the planning and
design period (first year) to write the Protocol and Consent Form. These will be presented to the
NHLBI-appointed Data and Safety Monitoring Board. Following suggestions for revisions, the
Protocol and Consent Forms will be submitted to individual IRBs for approval. Model consent forms
will in many instances need to be modified to include local IRB requirements. Individual institutions’
informed consent forms will be reviewed by the Chairman of the DSMB to assure that they conform
to the model consent form and they do not allow policies or practices which may be incompatible
with BABY HUG.
12.4
TRAINING, CERTIFICATION AND START-UP
After the Protocol and Model Informed Consent Form are approved by the DSMB and the
Protocol and individual institutional consent forms are approved by the local IRBs, the study will be
ready to begin data collection. A Manual of Operations will be written to give specific performance
directions. Training of Clinical Center staff in procedures of data collection and study procedures
will be conducted by Medical Coordinating Center staff (MCC). Training will include:
•
completion of study forms
•
data entry over the Internet
•
maintenance of study patient data files
•
completion of data cleaning procedures including response to edit queries
•
collection, labeling and processing of central laboratory specimens
•
patient orientation and information
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-12.wpd — 8/09
Page 12-3 of 12-16
•
obtaining informed consent
•
conducting eligibility assessment
•
the use of the Automated Telephone Randomization System (ATRS)
•
retrieving initial and continuing prescription recommendations as transmitted over
the Internet and coordinated with the Clinical Center (Investigational) Pharmacy to
dispense study treatments to the patients
•
conduct of clinic visits including assessment of patient compliance.
Clinical Center staff who will complete study forms or otherwise provide study data will be
certified after successful completion of the training in these areas. Each will receive a unique
certification number that will be entered on every study form completed, along with a signature and
date of data collection. This certification number identifies the individual who is responsible for the
accuracy and completeness of the data collected.
Clinical staff who will be conducting special evaluations will be trained in BABY HUG data
collection procedures. Standardized methods for data collection for special evaluations (e.g.,
neurological examinations or neuropsychological evaluations) have been set by specialists
designated by the Steering Committee. Clinical staff will be STE certified and given study
certification numbers that will identify the evaluations for which they are responsible.
Members of adjudication panels have been given detailed instructions on the adjudication
process and have completed several sample cases designed to test the adjudication process. The
MCC prepared these cases in collaboration with designated specialists (e.g., for radionuclide
scanning).
Clinical Center Principal Investigators and coordinators must attend at least one training
session and successfully complete the certification process, which will include satisfactory
completion of practice procedures and data collection with patients. Training is conducted and
certification is issued by the Medical Coordinating Center staff after review with the Study
Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Project Officer.

12.5
DATA EDITING AND MANAGEMENT
12.5.1 Introduction
The Medical Coordinating Center serves BABY HUG as the repository of all forms,
documents and minutes. Clinical Centers will use the Medical Coordinating Center Internet Data
Entry System to send to the Medical Coordinating Center data in electronic format from the original
of each BABY HUG form, which will be completed and kept in a manner acceptable for regulatory
purposes in Clinical Center files. All BABY HUG data collection forms and transmittal lists for blood
specimens and other materials (e.g., images) shipped in the course of BABY HUG data collection
will be sent to the Medical Coordinating Center via Internet Data Entry. Medical Coordinating
Center staff will monitor the arrival of data and transmittal lists to identify form and procedure
delinquencies based on appointment schedules and anticipated study forms. Medical Coordinating
Center staff will monitor Core Laboratory specimen receipt dates for specimen delinquencies based
on appointment schedules, expected specimen collection, and reports of specimens received in the
Core Laboratories.
12.5.2 Receipt and Inventory
Medical Coordinating Center staff will receive, log in and store all Internet Data Entry
transmissions. Clinical Centers should send specimens directly to the Core Laboratories with
Internet Data Entry of transmittal lists to the Medical Coordinating Center. Data from the Clinical
Centers will be automatically linked to the date of receipt. Transmittal lists are compared with data
received from the Clinical Center and data transmitted from the Core Laboratories. Any
discrepancies between crucial patient identifiers (e.g., name code, ID number or date of study
entry/follow-up visit) that Medical Coordinating Center staff find will be brought to the Clinical
Center’s attention immediately by e-mail.

SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-12.wpd — 8/09
Page 12-5 of 12-16
12.5.3 Expected Receipt of Forms
The expected dates for receipt at the Medical Coordinating Center of the BABY HUG
patients' form data will be: one week after each visit for eligibility screening data; one week after
their study entry visit for Treatment Initiation Forms; two days after clinic visit for Core Laboratory
Reports and Missing Specimen Lists; two weeks for Follow-Up Visit Forms or Missed Visit Forms;
two weeks for Clinical Event Report Forms; and one week for Imaging Study Forms. Data not sent
to the Medical Coordinating Center or specimens not sent to the Core Laboratory within two weeks
of the expected date will be denoted as delinquent.
Guidance to assist the questioner in obtaining the information (QxQs) for each of the forms
is posted on the Website for ease of use by the Clinical Center staff. Practice with data entry and
discussion of the fine points of data entry for neuropsychological evaluations have made clear to
the Clinical Center staff the extent of effort necessary for intelligent, single entry of the BABY HUG
data. The Internet Data Entry System has been developed to accommodate timely data entry and
preliminary edit at the time of data entry so that the time critical information necessary to keep the
BABY HUG patients on study treatments and adequately monitored for safety is available. Print
back capability for Clinical Center verification and sign off as index document is provided by the
Internet Data Entry system. The system allows for data entry at a rate of 3600 characters per hour
(most people key at this rate easily). At this rate, 200 binary (or single field) variables can be
entered in three minutes. The regular follow-up visit form (Form 31), has 131 keystrokes to the form
and takes approximately 1.5 minutes to key. The items entered from a form are registered in the
central data base immediately after entering the data. Critical forms such as the Form 31 must be
entered on a more timely basis than other forms. In the event of a Clinical Center burden
management problem the MCC recommends that a two-tiered system for data entry be established.
Critical forms such as the Form 31 will be entered first and lower priority forms will be entered when
more time is available for the coordinator (or when another designated data entry person is
available) to enter the lower priority forms. To cover for the possibility that BABY HUG Clinical
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-12.wpd — 8/09
Page 12-6 of 12-16
Center staff are unable to transmit time critical information because of equipment failure (e. g. ,
the server at the Medical Coordinating Center or the server at the Clinical Center is down), a
dedicated fax line in the BABY HUG Coordinating area has been established. This fax line is used
for BABY HUG transmissions only. Clinical Center staff will fax their completed, time critical forms
to the Medical Coordinating Center where they will be processed electronically, or if need be,
manually to maintain the processing of time critical information. Information that is not time critical
(e.g., annual neurology exams) can be keyed by Clinical Center staff when full functionality is
restored. BABY HUG Clinical Centers that participate in the Children’s Oncology Group (COG)
already have experience with Internet data entry and note that this backup plan offers a level of
security and assurance that is not available in other studies that delay Clinical Center data
transmissions until all systems are functioning and data processing staff are available following any
interruptions. In the event of national emergencies (e.g., concerted attack on the Internet,
communication systems or air transportation), contingency plans will be written so that whatever
communications and specimen transportation systems that can be used will be. In the short term
if fax lines are working, all critical information may be sent by fax to the Medical Coordinating Center
for data entry. Disruptions of specimen transportation may require short term stop-orders
interrupting individual study habits for brief periods until central safety monitoring can be
reestablished. Long term disruptions will have to be addressed with reconsideration of design.
Long term failure of Internet data entry will also be addressed with negotiated design changes such
as installation of distributed systems in the Clinical Centers or central data entry of forms
transmitted to the Medical Coordinating Center by the fastest available method (e.g., fax or courier).
In the event that certain other aspects of data entry are found to be highly burdensome to the
coordinators, they will be discussed on the coordinators’ bi-monthly conference calls and their
concerns presented to the Operations Committee and as appropriate to the Steering Committee
and addressed by the Medical Coordinating Center and other members of the Steering Committee.

12.6
MONITORING PROGRESS AND PERFORMANCE
a.
Clinical Centers
Clinical Centers will be monitored individually and in the aggregate for unexplained lag in
recruitment, missed visits, missed blood specimen collection, missed scheduled procedures,
missing expected forms, agreement between treatment dose recommended and dose dispensed,
study treatment not accounted for, medical events required to be reported, and routine adverse
events. Weekly lists of expected visits, blood specimens, and scheduled procedures, will be posted
on the web site for each enrolled patient. Forms and procedures expected but not reported within
three days and treatment status not reported within one day will be noted on the website and added
to a cumulative delinquency report. Some delinquencies may be corrected at a later date. Other
delinquent information may not be recoverable after the critical time period has elapsed.
Unrecoverable delinquent data will be counted in summary reports as Protocol deviations for the
time-critical aspect. For instance, if a stop order is issued but is not reported as having been
implemented for three days, the database will show the day it was reported implemented, but the
time-lag will remain on record as a minor Protocol deviation. Certain events such as adverse
events and stop orders not implemented will not be allowed to continue unresolved. The Study
Chairman will be notified within 48 hours of a stop order not implemented or serious adverse
event(s).
1.
Eligibility
Status regarding eligibility criteria will be entered into the database for all consented
patients. Their progress will be posted daily on the web site until they either are disqualified or are
fully qualified. If they have a reversible eligibility disqualification, this will be noted. Aggregate
reports will be generated weekly throughout recruitment showing, according to Clinical Center, the
numbers of patients who are eligible, those disqualified and why, those qualified, those randomized
and enrolled, and those in follow-up. Steering Committee members will monitor these accruing
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-12.wpd — 8/09
Page 12-8 of 12-16
reports and make recommendations to improve performance where needed or recommend
changes in procedures.
2.
Follow-Up Clinic Visits
At every follow-up visit, the form will require a report of specific events (see Chapter 4) and
any unusual conditions or occurrences (write-in). The Clinical Center investigator will be required
to review this and provide an assessment of whether an adverse event has occurred. Since this
is an IND monitored study, the usual definitions of adverse event may be implemented, such as the
occurrence of death or a life-threatening condition or an event that causes or prolongs
hospitalization.
3.
Study Treatments
Monitoring study treatments will be one of the most important activities of the study. Study
forms will require complete accounting of study treatments to verify that each patient received
his/her correct bottle with the correct dose, and that treatment was administered daily. If scheduled,
blood specimens must be collected for a patient to continue taking prescribed study treatment. If
blood results (CBCs) do not arrive from the local laboratory at the Medical Coordinating Center
when expected, a stop-treatment order will be issued immediately and automatically. At every
study visit treatments are expected to be returned, and they will be assessed for compliance by
measurement of residual treatment returned. Treatment errors will be reported to the Study
Chairman immediately and will be counted cumulatively, if they represent major Protocol violations.
Study policies regarding remedial action on repeated treatment regimen violations will be
implemented.

4.
Monitoring the Clinical Centers
Medical Coordinating Center staff will produce recruitment reports weekly during the
recruitment phase from the data entered from forms submitted for each entered patient. A
sufficiently low recruitment performance will be responded to by a site visit from the Study Chairman
or Vice-Chairman, Medical Coordinating Center staff, and NHLBI and NICHD staff. Failure to
improve performance after such a site visit may result in an end to support for recruitment in a
Clinical Center.
On a bi-weekly basis, the Operations Committee (Study Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Medical
Coordinating Center staff, Coordinator representatives, Steering Committee representatives and
NHLBI and NICHD staff) meet by conference call to review recruitment goals and Protocol
violations reported for each Clinical Center. Protocol exceptions for eligible patients will be
considered by the Operations Committee and may be granted as long as study integrity is not
compromised. If the committee arrives at a recommendation to grant an exception to the Protocol,
the local IRB will be notified and the exception will be conducted in accord with the local IRB’s
Standard Operating Procedures. Clinical Centers will be notified of minor violations with
suggestions for remedial action. Major violations will result in a site visit by the Study Chairman or
Vice-Chairman, Medical Coordinating Center staff and an NHLBI and NICHD staff member.
At each scheduled Steering Committee meeting, a report of progress toward
accomplishment of study goals will be presented, both for BABY HUG as a whole and for individual
Clinical Centers. These reports will include certification status, number of eligible patients
identified, number of patients enrolled of those identified, completeness of scheduled visit data
collection, completeness of specimen collection, completeness of clinical event reporting,
adherence to Protocol and results of actions taken to improve compliance.

Page 12-10 of 12-16
5.
Site Visits
Clinical Centers will be visited during the study to assure quality of data collection. Medical
Coordinating Center staff will generate computer printouts of form data for comparison to Clinical
Center form copies and to actual patient charts.
If a Clinical Center is under consideration for being discontinued from treatment of patients
in BABY HUG, the Study Chairman or Vice-Chairman, Medical Coordinating Center staff and
NHLBI and NICHD Project Officers will visit the Clinical Center and provide a site visit report to the
Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for recommendation on final action.
Clinical Centers with the greatest difficulty in meeting proposed goals for recruitment may
also be site visited, and recommendations for improvement made, with a report to the DSMB.
b.
Central Facilities
The MCC will monitor routinely receipt of expected reports from the Core Laboratories and
treatments shipped from the Pharmacy Distribution Center. Any expected blood result that is not
received will be tracked by MCC staff by telephone with the Clinical Center and the Core
Laboratory. Because many courier shipments can be traced on the Internet, there should be a
rapid resolution to any questions about shipments lost in transit.
Quality assurance programs will be established to monitor the results from the Core
Laboratories. In addition, the Core Laboratories will be chosen for their high level internal quality
assurance programs. Hematology and Biochemistry Core Laboratory values will be monitored both
for range and for consistency with the child’s laboratory measurement history. Values that are
deemed “alert” values will be discussed immediately between MCC staff and Hematology and
Biochemistry Core Laboratory staff. If the value is confirmed, the alert process will be implemented.
Table 7-3 shows the lab alert values.
Treatments dispensed by the Clinical Center (Investigational) Pharmacies will be checked
for agreement with the treatment kit number assigned to the child, as well as the recommended
prescription. The Clinical Center Principal Investigator will be notified immediately of any
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-12.wpd — 8/09
Page 12-11 of 12-16
discrepancies. Confirmed discrepancies will be tallied cumulatively. Pharmacies accruing
unacceptable numbers of discrepancies will be reported to the Study Chairman for immediate
action.
c.
Endpoint Evaluation Committees
Members of endpoint evaluation committees will receive appropriate guidelines for the
purpose of performing study assessments. They will first adjudicate sample cases. During the
conduct of the study, various methods of quality assurance will be implemented including masked
duplicate case reviews, both within-reviewer (reader) and between-reviewers (readers). Results
of these reviews will be tabulated according to Clinical Center and reviewer. Between and within
reviewer agreement rates will be available to the DSMB. The schedule of the reviews or readings
of adverse event reports and images will be monitored and reported routinely to the Steering
Committee. Reviewers or readers who fall behind in their assigned study work will be contacted
by the Study Chairman and MCC Principal Investigator to assess the situation and propose a plan
of action. Repeated failure to perform may result in replacement of a reviewer (reader).
d.
Medical Coordinating Center
1.
Randomization
The randomization schedule will be devised to assure the appropriate blocking and balance
of treatment groups for clinically important clinical patient characteristics and within each Clinical
Center. Two schedules will be devised for use: one for Clinical Center staff to practice using the
ATRS, and one that will be the final study randomization schedule. The final schedule will also be
analyzed to assure that balance is achieved by age and Clinical Centers, and that there are no
unusual sequential runs of treatment assignments within any Clinical Center.

Page 12-12 of 12-16
2.
Laboratory Results, Prescription Recommendations and Record of
Treatments
MCC staff will develop computer programs to take into account each patient’s baseline
laboratory values, new laboratory data and recent laboratory values. These programs will identify
extreme outliers for possible safety alerts (see Table 7-3), and will be used to assess whether
changes from baseline or recent results are unusual. Outlier results will be verified and reviewed
if necessary with the Study Chairman. Extreme values that constitute an adverse event will be
managed according to specified procedures. Abnormal values that do not exceed levels will be
used in formulating treatment recommendations. The system will follow the dose adjustment
Protocol (see Chapter 6) to make the appropriate dose recommendation for the next 2- or 4-week
period. Dose recommendations will be reviewed along with the attending laboratory results by the
designated medical staff at the MCC. Confirmed treatment recommendations will be forwarded to
the Clinical Center electronically (e-mail or Website).
All occurrences of misreported laboratory results will be cumulated and reported, as well as
all alert values, and routine dose changes.
MCC staff will review accruing information about reported toxicities and their resolution and
consequent dose adjustments to see if the frequency of adjustments is reasonable or if patients
are being stopped too frequently. Tabulations of how much of the time patients are not maintained
on assigned treatment will also be reviewed. Placebo stops and adjustments will be compared for
similarity to the hydroxyurea group to help maintain the blind.
3.
Data entry and database quality assurance
Because data entry will be from the remote sites, data quality assurance will derive from site
visits that will include complete audits of the data against the medical record. Periodically copies
of original forms may be requested from Clinical Centers for independent data entry and
comparison in the Medical Coordinating Center to check the quality of Clinical Center data entry.

ROUTINE REPORTING
Routine reports for the Steering Committee will be prepared on: eligibility and enrollment,
by Clinical Center and overall; recruitment expected versus actual; study forms and specimens,
expected and received; unusable results, alert values, values requiring verification, values modified,
values deleted, and stop orders issued on the basis of unavailable results; treatment adjustments,
dispensing, return of and compliance with study treatments; special studies expected and
performed or not performed; endpoints evaluation; committee performance (e.g., case reports and
images reviewed and cases pending); and adverse events by Clinical Center and overall.
12.8
SAFETY AND PATIENT MONITORING
a.
Central Review of Laboratory Results
A Medical Coordinating Center physician will confirm all toxicities and alert values and
review individual cases and tabulations of toxicities and alert values.
b.
Adverse Events
Any adverse event, regardless of attribution to study treatment or sickle cell disease will be
reported to the Medical Coordinating Center. Any event meeting the definition of a serious adverse
event will be reported to the DSMB Chair, Executive Secretary of DSMB, the NHLBI and NICHD
Project Officers and to the FDA. The Clinical Centers will report all occurrences of serious adverse
events that occur at their institution according to their local IRB requirements.
c.
Data and Safety Monitoring Reports and Meetings
The DSMB will meet regularly to review cumulative study data. In addition to the routine
performance reports, they will review data according to the assigned groups. Interim review of the
primary and secondary endpoint data with statistical testing will be presented according to the
interim monitoring plan (see Section 4.4.5). All cases of adverse events and laboratory alert values
will be reviewed in detail. The DSMB will make recommendations to the NHLBI and NICHD
regarding recruitment goals, study performance, and patient safety.

d.
Unblinding
In the event of an emergency that the Clinical Center Principal Investigator or that a local
treating physician considers knowledge of the BABY HUG patient’s treatment assignment is
necessary for determining patient management, the Principal Investigator or treating physician will
telephone the BABY HUG Study Chairman to discuss the need for unblinding. The Study Chairman
will be able to use the Automated Telephone Response System (ATRS) to obtain unblinding
information 24 hours/day as necessary.
12.9
PROTOCOL VIOLATIONS
Staff of Clinical Centers, Core Laboratories, Endpoint Evaluation Committee members,
Medical Coordinating Center personnel and any other personnel who implement the study Protocol,
manage patients on behalf of the study, report, manage or analyze study data share in
responsibility for patient safety and the scientific integrity of BABY HUG. With the assistance of
oversight provided by the NHLBI and NICHD through the Data and Safety Monitoring Board and
the local Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), all matters of Protocol implementation and data
reporting will subject to review. Procedures for monitoring of scientific integrity and quality
assurance in multicenter trials have been promulgated by the Society for Clinical Trials (Knatterud
et al, 1998). Violations of the Protocol will be investigated promptly to maintain patient safety.
The steps to prevent Major Protocol Violations or reporting of incorrect data are: training
and certification, site visits, audits, statistical checks, edit checks, and careful follow-up of any
abnormalities that may result in clinic-wide treatment stop and suspension of randomization.
Data collection by non-certified personnel will be prevented by training and certification
(including education that misuse of certification number is a scientific integrity issue), detected by
review of study forms all of which require signature, certification number and date, and if found,
acted upon by clinic-wide audit; deletion of data found erroneous; and requirement of assurances
and a plan from the Clinical Center Principal Investigator to keep the problem(s) from recurring.

SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-12.wpd — 8/09
Page 12-15 of 12-16
Failure to provide a Patient/Family advocate will be prevented by training and certification,
detected by review of initial and follow-up Patient/Family advocate forms, site visits, and data audit,
and acted upon with clinic-wide treatment stop and suspension of randomization.
Requesting enrollment (randomization) for a child who does not meet eligibility criteria will
be prevented by training and certification, detected on checking eligibility data collection forms, and
acted upon with suspension of randomized study treatment and randomization.
Requesting enrollment (randomization) for a child on whom informed consent has not been
obtained, or whom the Patient/Family advocate has not found the family in agreement will be
prevented by training and certification, detected on site visit, and acted upon with suspension of
randomized study treatment and randomization.
Failure to act to implement a treatment stop order within 72 hours will be prevented by
training and certification, detected by review of study treatment data collection forms and
Patient/Family advocate follow-up and acted upon with suspension of randomized study treatment
and randomization.
Failure to report a serious adverse event (Section 10.2.3) within 24 hours of learning of
event will be prevented by training and certification, detected on review of study treatment data
collection forms and Patient/Family advocate follow-up, and acted upon with suspension of
randomized study treatment and randomization.
12.10 IRB APPROVAL
Clinical Centers will submit the BABY HUG Protocol and the Informed Consent Form as
modified for use to the Local Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) for initial review before any patient
can be screened for BABY HUG. Clinical Centers will submit local updates to the IRB for annual
review, Protocol amendments and study-wide reports such as DSMB recommendations and any
other information that may be requested by the IRB. Clinical Centers will comply with local IRB
requirements regarding reporting serious adverse events, whether or not related to study treatment.
Clinical Centers will provide the Medical Coordinating Center with documentation of approval from
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

13.3
STUDY ADMINISTRATION
13.3.1 Study Chairman and Vice-Chairman
The Study Chairman and Vice-Chairman have been elected by the Steering Committee.
The Study Chairman is Chairman of the Operations Committee and Steering Committee. The
Study Chairman is responsible for overall conduct of the study and adherence to the study time
table (see Appendix D). The Vice-Chairman acts in place of the Study Chairman in case of the
Study Chairman’s unavailability. Consultants to the Medical Coordinating Center will be available
24 hours a day for emergency unblinding of assigned study medication.
13.3.2 Steering Committee
The Study Chairman will preside over the Steering Committee which will consist of the
Principal Investigators from each Clinical Center and the Medical Coordinating Center, the NHLBI
and NICHD Project Officers and (ex officio) directors of the central units. This committee will be
responsible for overseeing the writing of main papers as directed by the DSMB and as approved
by the NHLBI.
13.3.3 Data and Safety Monitoring Board
The Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) has been appointed by the NHLBI. DSMB
voting members include experts in sickle cell anemia, the clinical use of hydroxyurea, biostatistics
and bioethics, who are not connected with the study, and ex officio (non-voting) members -- the
Study Chairman and the Medical Coordinating Center Principal Investigator -- and representatives

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-13.wpd — 8/09
Page 13-6 of 13-9
tions. The DSMB reviewed the initial study Protocol and will approve all changes made to it during
the course of the study, review Data and Safety Monitoring Reports, and make recommendations
on major Protocol changes and/or early release of study results. The Operations Committee will
report any unexpected or unusual findings to the DSMB which may be convened ad hoc for a
special review of BABY HUG any time circumstances so warrant. The DSMB will meet at least
yearly, to review the annual BABY HUG report. It will review safety as the trial progresses, will
evaluate treatment efficacy at pre-specified interim time points for possible early termination of the
study, and will review any proposals to discontinue treatment of patients in a Clinical Center
because of non-adherence to the Protocol.
DSMB meetings begin with an Executive Session at which summary notes are taken by a
representative of the NHLBI. Other BABY HUG Steering Committee members do not participate
in the Executive Session. The Study Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Medical Coordinating Center
Principal Investigator and invited BABY HUG investigators join the DSMB for other parts of the
agenda until the presentation of study outcome data. The BABY HUG Clinical Center investigators
are excused for the study outcome presentation and discussion. Medical Coordinating Center staff
take summary notes of the DSMB meeting from the end of the Executive Session through the
presentation of study outcomes and discussion. At the end of the presentation of study outcomes
and discussion, the Medical Coordinating Center staff are excused for the DSMB to meet in a
second Executive Session. The NHLBI representative is responsible for recording summary notes
of the second Executive Session and the recommendations of the DSMB. At the end of the second
Executive Session, the BABY HUG investigators rejoin the DSMB for a preliminary review of DSMB
recommendations. The NHLBI Executive Secretary of DSMB provides the summary notes and
recommendations of the DSMB, in an expeditious and timely manner, to the Medical Coordinating
Center. The Medical Coordinating Center communicates these recommendations to the BABY
HUG Steering Committee. At the next DSMB meeting, the DSMB votes to accept (or revise) the
summary notes recording transactions of the meeting and recommendations.

PEDIATRIC HYDROXYUREA PHASE III CLINICAL TRIAL (BABY HUG) PROTOCOL
CHAPTER 14
POLICY MATTERS
14.1
INTRODUCTION
Procedural guidelines are established to ensure that all investigators adhere to the protocol,
to facilitate optimum use of data generated by the study, and to ensure optimal use of the resources
of the Central Units and Medical Coordinating Center (for quality control in the study see Section
10.4).
14.2
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Members of the Steering Committee will create a list of major and minor protocol violations.
Major violations are those which endanger patients, such as repetitive failure to obtain scheduled
blood counts or failure to discontinue therapy promptly when so advised. Minor violations are those
which impede the progress of the study, such as not filing reports in timely fashion (form
delinquencies) and excessive delays in supplying materials (e.g, scans, other images or event
reports) for central review. Also, the Steering Committee will consider exceptions to the Protocol
and advise the Operations Committee of its decision.
After the first major violation, a clinic will be asked to submit a proposal outlining how
recurrence will be prevented. After a second major violation, clinics will not be allowed to recruit
more patients, but will be able to follow those already recruited. After three major violations the
Clinical Center may no longer be supplied with study drug. Prior to suspension of study treatments
at a Clinical Center, the Study Chairman or Vice-Chairman, Medical Coordinating Center Principal
Investigator and NHLBI and NICHD Project Officers will visit the Clinical Center and provide a site
visit report to the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for recommendation on final action.
Clinical Centers with the greatest difficulty in meeting their proposed goals for recruitment will also
be site visited, and recommendations for improvement made to them, with a report to the DSMB.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-14.wpd — 8/09
Page 14-2 of 14-6
(Clinical Centers which are not having problems with performance will also be visited at least once
during the study, to assure quality of data produced). The Data and Safety Monitoring Board
(DSMB) will be made aware of all major violations, and will consider discontinuing study treatment
at the Clinical Center after a third violation.
The Medical Coordinating Center will document minor violations in performance reports, as
well as notifying the Clinical Centers of them. Repeated minor violations which are not corrected
will result in reports to the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), the NICHD and the National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
14.3
CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS
Over the seven year course of the trial, it is expected that changes in Principal Investigators
(PIs) will occur in some of the Clinical Centers. These changes may be necessitated by movement
of the Principal Investigators to another institution, illness, retirement, or change in responsibility
within the same institution. When a change in PI occurs, the viability of the Clinical Center as a
BABY HUG participant could become problematic. In this situation, retention of the
established/experienced nurse coordinator may help ensure that the Clinical Center can continue
to function effectively. When such a change occurs, it is understood that the contractual
arrangement between the NHLBI and the Clinical Center will be reviewed and possibly altered.
However, because of the profound influence that such a change may have on the remaining Clinical
Centers in the conduct of BABY HUG, the members of the Steering Committee and/or the
Operations Committee should have the opportunity to discuss and provide input into the decisions
that are made.
As noted in Section 14.2, problems in the performance of a Clinical Center will be discussed
by the Operations Committee. The Clinical Centers and/or their representatives, the Medical
Coordinating Center, and the NHLBI and NICHD Project Offices should all participate in any
decisions which involve turnover of Principal Investigators and/or Clinical Centers.

14.4
TYPES OF BABY HUG RESEARCH
BABY HUG research and the resulting presentation and publications may be grouped into
the following study categories.
1.
Endpoint studies;
2.
Data bank studies;
3.
Ancillary studies.
The Steering Committee will exercise responsibility for all endpoint, data bank, and ancillary
studies, and for all publications and presentations evolving from BABY HUG research, through the
Scientific Affairs and Publications Committee. BABY HUG investigators have agreed that all BABY
HUG research is collaborative in nature. No investigator will publish BABY HUG data from any one
Clinical Center or group of Clinical Centers without the written approval of the Publication
Committee, the NICHD and the NHLBI.
Investigators at all BABY HUG sites, including the Medical Coordinating Center and the
NHLBI and NICHD Program Offices, have equal status with regard to developing protocols,
participating in such studies as are approved and collaborating in the development and publication
of research papers based on BABY HUG material.
The procedures in this section for endpoint, data bank, and ancillary studies, and for
publication of BABY HUG research results are similar to those used in other cooperative clinical
trials. These procedures are intended to protect the interests of all investigators and patients in the
trial, namely, to assure that study data conform to the requirements of study design, are accurately
presented, authorship is appropriately acknowledged, and the text of all publications is well written
with proper attention to the protection of patient privacy. All BABY HUG presentations are subject
to review and approval by the NHLBI and NICHD.
14.4.1 Endpoint Studies
An endpoint study is a study pertaining to the fundamental goals of the project (e.g., the
evaluation of the efficacy of hydroxyurea in the prevention of chronic end organ damage) or which
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-14.wpd — 8/09
Page 14-4 of 14-6
involves data, such as treatment assignment, differences in hospitalization by treatment
assignment, or mortality rates, which cannot be released prior to the end of the study. These
studies will summarize the findings of BABY HUG, based on the entire study population, and will
be written at the conclusion of follow-up or data collection.
14.4.2 Data Bank Studies
A data bank study is a study which uses data routinely collected on patients when they are
screened for or enrolled in BABY HUG and analyzes these data to answer some scientific question.
Data used in this research are not directly related to the fundamental goals of the study.
14.4.3 Ancillary Studies
An ancillary study is a study which uses supplementary data collected on patients who are
screened for or enrolled in BABY HUG, over and above the data collection required by the BABY
HUG Protocol. Such studies are usually restricted to consideration of a specific test technique or
involve only supplemental data collected on some or all BABY HUG patients.
Approval and participation in ancillary studies are considered by the Steering Committee,
the NICHD and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) with the advice of independent
review committees (the Data and Safety Monitoring Board or the Protocol Review Committee).
Proposals for ancillary studies are submitted to the Medical Coordinating Center which distributes
them to the Steering Committee for scientific review and Clinical Center Principal Investigator
consideration with regard to feasibility and interest in participation in the ancillary study in each
Clinical Center. Steering Committee members reply to a ballot distributed by the Medical
Coordinating Center indicating their approval or disapproval of the ancillary study, the priority they
would accord the ancillary study and whether or not their Clinical Center would participate in the
ancillary study. Approval requires a majority vote.
14.5
CLINICAL CENTER ACCESS TO BABY HUG DATA FILES AT THE END OF THE STUDY
At the end of the study, Medical Coordinating Center staff will produce a well documented
data tape containing a refined (and reduced) set of the BABY HUG data for the purpose of analysis
*Bristol-Myers Squibb, Par Pharmaceuticals
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/CHAP-14.wpd — 8/09
Page 14-5 of 14-6
by the BABY HUG investigators and eventual release to the public domain in accordance with
NHLBI policy. Clinical Center directors may analyze the data on this data tape in their own centers,
but prior to submission of articles for publication must submit the analyses proposed for publication
to the Medical Coordinating Center, where they will be reviewed and computations replicated.
Clinical Center directors who perform their own analyses are responsible for obtaining all support
necessary for the data bank or ancillary study outside of regular study resources. The Medical
Coordinating Center will be the center of study analysis activities as long as the BABY HUG
investigators continue in their collaborative efforts.
14.6
PUBLICATION
The design and the main results manuscripts will list all Principal Investigators and all
members of the manuscript writing committees in the authorship. The authors of other publications
stemming from the study will be those who actually write the document (the writing committee), plus
the group as a whole (“Doe J, Roe K, and the Pediatric Hydroxyurea Phase III Clinical Trial (BABY
HUG) investigators), with all investigators and coordinators listed in the appendix at the end of the

CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST
BABY HUG investigators and their immediate family will not buy, sell, or hold stock options
in any of the companies* providing medication (or making competing products) under study from
the time the recruitment of patients for the trial begins until funding for the study in the investigator’s
unit ends and the results are made public; or from the time the recruitment of patients for the trial
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 14-6 of 14-6
begins until the investigator’s active and personal involvement in the study or the involvement of
the institution conducting the study (or both) ends.
Each investigator will agree not to serve as a paid consultant to the companies during these
same periods. The guidelines will also apply to the investigator’s spouse and dependents. The
Medical Coordinating Center will hold and update annually conflict-of-interest statements from each
investigator.
Certain other activities are not viewed as constituting prohibited conflicts-of-interest but must
be reported annually to the Medical Coordinating Center: the participation of investigators in
education activities supported by the companies (permitted only if no honorarium is paid to the
investigator); the participation of investigators in other research projects supported by the
companies; and, occasional scientific consulting to the companies on issues not related to the
products in the trial and for which there is no financial payment or other compensation. The BABY
HUG conflict-of-interest policy will incorporate the NHLBI and U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) policies on conflict-of-interest for investigators.
The BABY HUG investigators will not accept any restraint on freedom of publication.

Introduction
Over the course of the two-year BABY HUG Clinical Trial, patients will each have a total
volume of approximately 77.6 ml of blood collected for evaluations, including 17.1 ml for
immunology studies. The largest volume will be obtained in the pre-randomization evaluation
period and the first 4 weeks on study treatment, during which time approximately 29.6 ml will be
collected. Efforts are made to work with the smallest volumes of specimens possible. For example,
Schwartz GFR specimens will be aliquotted from specimens already prepared for other evaluations.
Using a conservative estimate of a 12 month old infant entering the study with an initial weight of
8 kg, this amount will constitute approximately 3.7 ml/kg over an 8-week period. This amount is
within the guidelines for maximum volume of phlebotomy (3-7 ml/kg per 8 week period), which have
been utilized by the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Duke University Medical Center
Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). The maximum amount obtained at a single blood draw will be
approximately 8 ml; this will not exceed the guideline of 1 ml/kg (Duke University Medical Center
IRB) in an 8 kg infant and will not produce significant cardiovascular stress. Older children with
sickle cell disease have tolerated phlebotomy of 5-10 ml/kg every 2 to 4 weeks (Ware et al., 1999).
During the other time periods in the course of the BABY HUG Clinical Trial, blood sampling volumes
will be considerably less.

Appendix E
Anthropometric Measurement Procedures
BACKGROUND
Since BABY HUG is a longitudinal study and growth velocity data will be collected, it is
important that all measures be made as accurately as possible. Accuracy and standardized
procedures are also necessary in multicenter studies to make sure that data from one center are
comparable to data from other centers. In BABY HUG data will be gathered on date of birth, birth
weight, and gestational age. Gestational age is estimated from of the number of weeks between
the mother’s record (recollection) of the onset of her last menstrual period and the child’s birth. In
clinic anthropometric measures of weight, length, and head circumference will also be taken.
Weight should be recorded in kilograms to the nearest 0.1 kg (100 grams). Length and head
circumference should be recorded to the nearest 0.1 cm.
GENERAL PROCEDURES
Anthropometric measurements should be taken by BABY HUG personnel specifically trained
and certified to perform these measurements. If possible, the same examiner(s) should measure
participants throughout the study period. Whenever possible, measurements should be taken by
a team of two observers. One observer takes the measurements while the other observer records.
The observer taking the measurements calls out the results to the recorder. The recorder repeats
the results and then calls out the name of the next measurement. The observer keeps the
measuring instrument in place until the recorder repeats the number. The recorder checks the
examinee’s position during the procedure. All of the measurements – weight, length, and head
circumference – are made once before repeating them a second time in the same sequence by the
same observer. A third measurement is made by the same observer only if the second
measurement differs from the first by the specified amounts.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09-Word/Appendix E.wpd — 8/09
Page E-2 of E-9
It is important that the measurements be made in pleasant, warm, and quiet surroundings.
If blood specimens are taken, they should be drawn after anthropometric data have been obtained.
Each center will use the same apparatus for all measurements.
Weight
The weight measurement is critical to assessing growth velocity. Thus, weight must be
measured accurately. Following is a description of instruments and methods used for weighing
infants.
There is general agreement that weight should be measured using a beam scale with
movable weights or a well calibrated electronic scale, and that a pan scale is needed for
measurements made during infancy.
Weight is best measured with the subject nude, which is practical during infancy. At older
ages, nude measurements may not be possible. If nude measurements are not feasible,
standardized light clothing, for example, a disposable paper gown, should be worn in preference
to “light indoor clothing.”
There are diurnal variations in weight of about 1 kg in children and 2 kg in adults. Therefore,
making a note of the time of day at which measurements are made is desirable. Usually it is not
practical to measure at a fixed time, but a narrow range may be achievable.
Materials and Methods
Pan Balance
•
A pan-type balance (scale) accurate to ± 10 grams (preferably to ±1 g) is needed
for children under 12 months old. It may be a beam balance or a modern electronic
recording balance.
•
The balance should be checked for accuracy just prior to use by adjustment of zero
weight on the balance beam and weekly by verifying standard (National Bureau of
Standards - NBS) weights of 2 and 4 kg. At least yearly, the balance should be
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09-Word/Appendix E.wpd — 8/09
Page E-3 of E-9
inspected and adjusted if necessary by a qualified representative of the
manufacturer.
•
The child is weighed nude. Because a pan balance may be uncomfortable, a pad
can be placed on the pan. The pad is weighed, and this weight is recorded and
subtracted from the total weight (infant + pad). Alternatively, the balance is adjusted
to zero with the pad in place. Whichever procedure is used, it should be practiced
consistently throughout the study.
•
The child must be relatively quiet and still during the weighing.
•
The child is weighed to at least the nearest 100 grams.
•
The first weight is recorded on the BABY HUG Anthropometry Form. The child is
then weighed again, and this measurement is also recorded. If the two
measurements (made to the nearest 0.1 kg) differ by more than 200 grams (0.2 kg),
a third weighing is made and recorded. Individuals making the weighings should
sign the data form and record their certification numbers.
Standing Scale
A subject able to stand without support is weighed using a leveled platform scale with a
beam and moveable weights (see Appendix E Figure 1). The beam on the scale must be
graduated so that it can be read from both sides and the scale positioned so that the measurer can
stand behind the beam, facing the subject, and can move the beam weights without reaching
around the subject. The movable tare is arranged so that a screwdriver is needed to shift it. The
subject stands still over the center of the platform with the body weight evenly distributed between
both feet. At older ages, children object to being weighed in the nude, and light indoor clothing
such as a disposable paper gown can be worn but not shoes, long trousers, or a sweater.
Standardized clothing, for example, a disposable paper gown should be the same at every
weighing. The weight of this clothing is not subtracted from the observed weight when the
recommended reference data are used. Weight is recorded to the nearest 100 g. Weight is
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09-Word/Appendix E.wpd — 8/09
Page E-4 of E-9
measured and recorded twice. If the two measurements disagree by more than 100 g, a third
measurement is made and recorded (see Appendix E Figure 1).
Length
Linear growth of children is assessed by measuring length. Recumbent length should be
used up to 18 months of age and standing height after 18 months of age. Of the anthropometric
data, recumbent length may be the most difficult to obtain accurately. Examiners should practice
measuring infants and verify their ability to measure recumbent length accurately.
Materials and Methods
•
A recumbent length measuring board with fixed headboard and movable footboard
that are perpendicular to a table surface is required. The measuring scale must be
along the length of the board. The scale should be in centimeters with 0.1 cm
divisions.
•
The board should be regularly checked that the scale is in place and that the
footboard is functioning properly with minimum play around a horizontal or vertical
axis.
•
Two measurers are needed to obtain satisfactory measurements. One measurer
holds the child’s head in a plane that allows the child to look upward in a line joining
the left tragus and the lowest point of the inferior margin of the left orbit: line of sight
(13). Slight traction is applied to bring the top of the child’s head to the headboard.
The other measurer holds the child’s feet with toes pointed upward and brings the
footboard gently against the child’s feet. Press knees to straighten legs, i.e., they
should be fully extended to avoid under-estimating length. Once the child is in
place, the measurer holding the head may observe that the head is no longer
touching the headboard. The footboard should not be brought forward. Instead, the
head should be brought gently but firmly back to the headboard. This is appropriate,
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SLC:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09-Word/Appendix E.wpd — 8/09
Page E-5 of E-9
because the child should be stretched slightly to give an accurate measurement
(see Appendix E Figure 2).
•
The child’s recumbent length is measured to the nearest 0.1 cm.
•
The recumbent length measurement in cm and the data are recorded on the
appropriate data form.
•
The measurement should be repeated and value recorded. If the two
measurements do not agree within 0.5 cm, the recumbent length should be
measured a third time. The two measurers may change positions for the third
measurement.
Head Circumference
Materials and Methods
•
Head circumference is measured with a flexible narrow non-stretchable tape. Steel
and fiberglass tapes are satisfactory. Disposable paper tapes can also be used.
•
If the same tape is used repeatedly, it should be checked periodically against a steel
centimeter reference tape.
•
Head circumferences are measured in young children while lying still. In measuring
the older child, it is preferable for the child to be on the mother’s lap.
•
The tape is placed firmly around the head above the supraorbital ridges (right above
the brows). While holding the tape in place with the index or middle finger of one
hand, the tape is passed over the occipital prominence (bump) at the back of the
head with the other hand and the maximum circumference is noted.
•
The tape should be pulled snugly around the head compressing the hair (see
Appendix E Figure 3). The tape must be kept in the same plane on left and right
sides of the head. The measurement should be recorded to the nearest 0.1 cm.
•
If the child has a hairstyle that may interfere with the tape’s proper position and
cannot be easily undone (e.g., “Corn rows”), the best circumference measures
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

possible should be taken and the presence of such a hair style should be noted on
the Anthropometry Form.
TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION
Problems with different observers over time occur and thus it is important to keep the
number of observers to a minimum and ensure continued training and certification over time. Inter-
observer variability and errors related to lack of skills can introduce major errors in the data. A goal
will be to have an individual certified as a trainer at each Clinical Center so that individuals
subsequently joining the staff can be trained on site, certified, and recertified. Training and
certification will be on site at all BABY HUG Clinical Centers and carried out by the master trainer.
The certification procedures trains the measurers at each site in the techniques and process
of taking the actual measurements covered in this manual. During this procedure recording
methods, equipment calibration and potential sources of error will be demonstrated.
Recertification will be required every year after the original certification. This will be carried
out by each center’s designated trainer or by the Study’s master trainer. The designated trainer
will be certified as having demonstrable measurement skills and knowledge of the methodology,
including recording, for avoidance of errors.

Clinical Event Definitions
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/Appendix F.wpd — 8/09
Page F-1 of F-6
Appendix F: Clinical Event Definitions
Introduction
In BABY HUG, clinical event definitions will be applied for consistency with other important
NHLBI-sponsored clinical studies of sickle cell anemia such as the Clinical Study of Sickle Cell
Disease (CSSCD) and the Multicenter Study of Hydroxyurea in Sickle Cell Anemia (MSH).
Definitions
Anemia: A reduction of hemoglobin level by at least 30% from the steady-state level OR a
reduction by at least 20% accompanied by an acute increase in spleen size. Acute anemic events
should be classified into one of the following categories.
1.
Splenic sequestration crisis: The event is characterized by an increase in spleen
size and firmness, reduction of hemoglobin level by at least 20% and may include
drop in platelet or white counts. Splenic sequestration is defined in BABY HUG by
the findings of a palpable, large spleen with hemoglobin less than 5 gm/dL for
nonfatal occurrences.
2.
Aplastic Crisis: This event is characterized by a substantial decrease in reticulocyte
count to below 1.5 % before or concurrent with a reduction in hemoglobin level to
a level greater than 30% below the steady-state level. Characteristically results from
acute infection with parvovirus B19. Check the patient’s parvovirus IgM titer; usually
it should be positive.
3.
Other anemia: Reduction of hemoglobin because of blood loss, transfusion reaction
or hyper-hemolysis will be classified as an other anemia. A hyper-hemolytic episode
is characterized by normal or increased reticulocyte counts and nucleated red cell
count during an episode of falling hemoglobin associated with an increase in indirect
bilirubin level over the usual value. The latter finding is important to allow
discrimination from a recovering aplastic crisis.
SLC/F:/BABY-HUG/BHUG Protocol/August-09/Appendix F.wpd — 8/09
Page F-2 of F-6
Aplastic Crisis: See Anemia.
Arthritis (septic): See Infection (other).
Aseptic Necrosis: Presentation in the age range of patients in BABY HUG would be unusual.
Patients encounter pain in their hip or shoulder, often of a different character than their usual crisis
pain. The pain persists indefinitely, long after the expected duration of crisis pain. Early
radiographic findings are subepiphyseal lucency and widening of the joint space. Late changes
include flattening of the epiphysis and sclerosis with fragmentation.
Bacteremia: Febrile illness with blood culture positive for bacteria. Organism must be specified.
Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA): Acute neurologic syndrome secondary to occlusion of an artery
or hemorrhage with resultant ischemic and neurologic symptoms and signs.
1.
Stroke, hemorrhagic: Injury to brain tissue resulting from disturbance of blood supply
to the brain due to hemorrhage. The area of the hemorrhage should also be
reported (e.g., subarachnoid, subdural, intracerebral, aneurysm).
2.
Stroke, infarctive: Injury to brain tissue consistent with occlusion of vessel(s) by
thrombus or embolus which results in neurologic abnormalities on physical
examination that persist beyond 24 hours.
3.
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Temporary interference with blood supply to the
brain. The symptoms include neurologic signs that clear within 24 hours (48 hours
if basilar system is involved). After the attack, no evidence of residual neurologic
damage remains on physical examination.
Chest Syndrome: Also known as acute chest syndrome (ACS). A clinical syndrome that includes
at least 3 of the following symptoms: chest pain, temperature elevation over 38.5oC/101.5oF ,
tachypnea, wheezing or cough. A new pulmonary infiltrate must be present on x-ray involving at
least one complete lung segment to be consistent with alveolar consolidation instead of atelectasis.

Fever without Focus: Elevation of temperature greater than 38.5oC/101.5oF (regardless of route,
oral, axillary or rectal) not associated with a positive culture from any source or with any other
special event. Will be characterized as an event managed with blood culture (no growth) and
empiric parenteral antibiotics or by parental history (no blood culture, no empirical parenteral
antibiotics).

Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder affecting 0.4% of the general population and up to 14% of people 65 years and older. Response to medications such as beta blockers and primidone may be of benefit, but are often accompanied by intolerable side effects. Response to ethanol, on the other hand, has a roughly 80% chance of significant tremor reduction, though daily use of this as a treatment has potentially serious medical, social, and legal consequences.
The leading hypothesis for ET pathophysiology is an unmasking of spontaneous oscillations originating in neurons of the inferior olive. Both ethanol and 1-octanol have been shown to reduce these spontaneous oscillations in an animal model of ET; however, 1-octanol does this at a dose much lower than that leading to intoxication, suggesting in may be useful in the treatment of essential tremor. Our initial studies with 1-octanol have shown it to be safe at dosages up to 64mg/kg without signs of intoxication, while at the same time showing benefit.
OBJECTIVE
We plan to evaluate the efficacy of different 1-octanol formulations in humans based on accelerometry and spirography. We will also evaluate drug and metabolite bioavailabilities using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection method from plasma and urine samples.
STUDY POPULATION
We will study adult subjects with ethanol-responsive Essential Tremor (ET).
DESIGN
This study is designed as a two-phase unblinded inpatient study of adults with ET receiving weight-adjusted oral dosages of 2 different formulations of 1-octanol in a crossover fashion. Phase I of the study is designed to develop an octanol detection assay using HPLC. Four subjects will receive daily escalating dosages (1-32 mg/kg) of a single 1-octanol formulation followed by a crossover trial of both formulations at a dosage of 64 mg/kg. Phase II will study 20 subjects receiving one of the two formulations at 64 mg/kg on inpatient day 1 followed by a 24 hour period of close monitoring. The second formulation will be given on day 3 and the patient will again undergo close monitoring for 24 hours.
OUTCOME MEASURES
The primary outcome measures for the study will be efficacy based on tremor ratings from accelerometry and spirography. Secondary outcome measures will be the determination of bioavailability, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles of octanol #61864 and octanol #68751 and their metabolites. | OVERVIEW

Addendum: Based on the results of the assays for all subjects who participated in Part 1 and 2 of this protocol, we would like to conduct an exploratory study (Part 3) consisting of two subjects receiving a dose of 128mg/kg of 1-octanol. This is meant to primarily explore the plasma concentration of 1-octanol, while also providing valuable information regarding the safety and efficacy at this higher dose. The remainder of the experimental design will be maintained, with exception of additional safety precautions which will be discussed in the protocol and consent. | Essential Tremor | Ethanol Alcohol Responsive Movement Disorder Gas Chromatography Bioavailability Pharmacokinetics Essential Tremor | null | 0 | null | null | 1 | [

] | 108 | RANDOMIZED | PARALLEL | 0TREATMENT | 3TRIPLE | false | 0ALL | true | The purpose of this study is to determine whether gabapentin is efficacious as an analgesic for chronic low back pain. | Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major health problem for the VA, affecting up to 15% of all veterans. Nationally, its medical and disability costs exceed $50 billion annually. Despite its impact, relatively little research evaluates treatment for CLBP. Wide variation in patterns of care suggests uncertainty over effective therapy. Most chronic back cases are not surgical candidates. The mainstays of medical treatment have been non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants, opioids, and antidepressants. Non-steroidal drugs and muscle relaxants are effective for acute but not for chronic back pain. Opioids may provide analgesia but safety limits their use. Tricyclic antidepressants provide modest pain relief, separate from effects on depression. But it is clear additional research is needed to develop more effective pharmacotherapy. One approach favored by many authorities is determining if agents effective for one type of chronic pain syndrome (e.g., diabetic neuropathy) can be generalized to other syndromes, like chronic back pain. Another is to identify effective drug combinations, based on selecting drugs with differing therapeutic mechanisms.
This research is a program of rigorous randomized clinical trials testing the efficacy of antidepressants for analgesia in chronic back pain. Because chronic pain is a complex disorder, the program features a multidisciplinary research team, involving specialists in psychiatry, orthopedic surgery, psychology, anesthesiology, clinical pharmacology, and biomathematics. The research has both pragmatic and explanatory aims. Our strategy has been to test antidepressants with differing, and selective properties in an attempt to isolate therapeutic mechanisms. Thus, we began with trials using selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), rather than those with dual noradrenergic and serotonergic effects (e.g., amitriptyline, imipramine). To ensure applicability of results, we have used rigorous diagnostic procedures to identify patients with chronic back pain due to degenerative disk disease. To enhance generalizability we recruit primary care patients rather than tertiary pain clinic samples. Patients without major depression are studied to examine analgesia separate from antidepressant effects. Secondary outcomes address function and life quality.
We have conducted three controlled trials using identical recruitment and assessment methodology. The first, comparing a noradrenergic antidepressant (nortriptyline) with placebo, indicated that the noradrenergic agent provided clinically relevant analgesia. The second was a head-to-head comparison of a selective noradrenergic agent (maprotiline) with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI, paroxetine). The noradrenergic agent outperformed the SSRI, which was equivalent to placebo. To clarify these results we explored whether efficacy might be evident only at specific drug concentrations. Therefore, the third study, has a prospective concentration design comparing the most potent and selective noradrenergic antidepressant (desipramine) to the standard SSRI, fluoxetine. Subjects were randomized to placebo or predetermined concentration windows reflecting low, medium, and high exposure to study drugs and followed for 12 weeks. Interim analysis suggests that low concentration desipramine outperforms placebo (p\<0.05). It is also superior to mid-concentration and high exposure desipramine--as well as all exposure levels of the SSRI, which are equivalent to placebo.
In sum, all three studies supported noradrenergic analgesia in CLBP, and the two studies that evaluated SSRIs failed to find analgesia. This suggests noradrenergic activity, perhaps within a therapeutic window, may be primarily responsible for back pain analgesia. These findings have led us away from studies proposing combining noradrenergic and serotonergic agents. An alternative approach which builds on these data, but first employs another class of agents, seems reasonable. This strategy is to assess if gabapentin, a calcium channel blocker agent with demonstrated efficacy in neuropathic pain, can be extended to chronic back pain.
We conducted a double-blind, randomized assignment, 12-week, placebo controlled clinical trial of the efficacy of gabapentin. Non-depressed chronic low back pain patients (N = 130) will be randomized to placebo or high dose gabapentin (3600 mg/day or maximum tolerable dose). Analysis was by intent to treat. The primary efficacy assessment is mean pain intensity (Descriptor Differential Scale, DDS) at exit. Secondary outcomes are function and life quality (Oswestry Disability Index, Short Form-36, Quality of Well-Being Scale). Safety evaluation includes rating adverse events (Scandinavian Society of Psychopharmacology Committee on Clinical Investiagations Side Effects Rating Scale, UKU), standardized physical examination, and clinical laboratory testing. Results could provide explanatory insight into mechanisms of back pain, and address the pragmatic clinical need by primary care providers and others for effective therapy. | Chronic Low Back Pain | analgesia antidepressant agents back pain pain | null | 2 | arm 1: Gabapentin 300 mg orally three times daily up to a maximum of 1200 mg orally three times daily for 12 weeks arm 2: Inert placebo capsules identical in size and shape to the experimental capsules, one to three capsules taken orally three times daily for 12 weeks | [

Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with more than one chemotherapy drug (combination chemotherapy), may be a better way to block tumor growth. | PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the incidence of clinically apparent cardiac dysfunction in patients with lymph node positive breast cancer treated with bevacizumab and dose dense doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel (ddAC \> T).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate changes in LVEF during treatment. II. To evaluate non-cardiac toxicity.
OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, multicenter study. Patients are sequentially assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Arm A: Patients receive doxorubicin IV, cyclophosphamide IV over 20-30 minutes, and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SQ) on days 2-11 or pegfilgrastim SC on day 2. Treatment repeats every 14 days for 4 courses. Patients then receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive G-CSF or pegfilgrastim as above. Treatment with paclitaxel, bevacizumab, and G-CSF or pegfilgrastim repeats every 14 days for 4 courses. Patients then receive bevacizumab alone every 14 days for up to 18 courses.
Arm B: Patients receive doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and G-CSF or pegfilgrastim as in group I. Patients then receive paclitaxel, bevacizumab, and G-CSF or pegfilgrastim as in group I. Patients then receive bevacizumab alone every 14 days for up to 22 courses.
Treatment in both groups continues in the absence of disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients who require radiotherapy (post-lumpectomy) or who plan radiotherapy at the discretion of the investigator (post-mastectomy) undergo radiotherapy beginning within 6 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy.
Premenopausal patients with estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) positive disease receive oral tamoxifen once daily for 5 years beginning at the time of radiotherapy or within 6 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy. Postmenopausal patients with ER and/or PR positive disease receive an aromatase inhibitor (e.g., anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane) or tamoxifen followed by an aromatase inhibitor once daily for up to 10 years.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for up to 3 years from study entry.

Study participants will include 972, TB infected, San Francisco Jail inmates, aged 18 or older. One group of volunteers will take INH two times a week for 9 months, and the other group will take rifampin daily for 4 months. Medication will be administered in jail and at the San Francisco TB Clinic if the volunteer is released from jail prior to completing the study. Participants will be seen daily for 4 months (rifampin group), and 2 times a week for 9 months (INH group) for directly observed therapy. Study procedures will include 5 symptom review visits and blood samples for lab testing. Follow-up will continue for each subject for five years after enrollment into the study. | The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effect of two accepted regimens for treating latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in jail. Tuberculosis (TB) in incarcerated populations continues to be a serious problem, due to the large proportion of persons who are at high risk of both having latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and developing active disease. Completion of treatment of LTBI, while an important component of overall TB control efforts, has not been successful in jails. This is primarily because inmates are frequently released before finishing a 6-9 month course of standard therapy, and have low rates of completing therapy in the community. This study proposes to look at toxicity and adherence for this 4-month regimen compared to the nine-month regimen of to isoniazid (INH), and to examine costs, both cost of delivered care and the cost of TB disease prevented, with examination of reasons for completion or noncompletion of therapy. Short-course therapies for LTBI may address this problem but they are more expensive and have not been studied adequately to answer questions about side effects, completion rates, and overall cost. The investigators propose a randomized trial to test the effects of a short course therapy, rifampin (600 mg orally) given daily for 4 months, as compared to (INH) (900 mg orally) given twice weekly for 9 months. Both regimens are listed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Thoracic Society as acceptable treatments for persons with LTBI. The study participants will include 972 San Francisco Jail inmates, 18 years and older, enrolled over a 28-month period, for a sample of 486 in each study group. Subjects, followed in jail and after release, will be followed to test three hypotheses: the null hypothesis of a difference in toxicity of rifampin as compared to INH within a 95% confidence interval of (.4-1.87) and no difference by study group in adherence and in cost-effectiveness. A secondary aim is to describe reasons for completion or noncompletion of therapy. Toxicity is defined as complications leading to stopping drug. Adherence is defined as completion of care, or 120 doses taken within 6 months for the rifampin group and 76 doses of INH taken within 12 months for the INH group. Cost effectiveness will be calculated as the total cost of care (nursing, medical, laboratory, as well as facility costs), and measured against costs of TB cases prevented. All treatments will be administered by directly observed therapy (DOT) in jail, and by DOT after release at the San Francisco TB Clinic. Counseling on adherence (going to the TB Clinic if released before completing therapy) and on possible side effects will be given to all study subjects at enrollment and during follow-up clinic visits. All subjects will be routinely evaluated by study personnel every two weeks for the first 6 weeks, and thereafter to detect possible drug toxicity including hepatitis, peripheral neuropathy, arthralgias, rash, memory loss, and other clinical symptoms. All patients will undergo laboratory assessment at regular intervals according to a schedule which compares study group participation and the usual care in the jail. All blood test results, and new symptoms or changes in symptoms found at follow-up, will be added to the jail medical record. A final interview will be done with subjects at the time that they have completed or not completed this course of therapy for LTBI, to determine reasons (barriers and enablers). Follow-up will continue for each subject for five years after enrollment into the study, to measure study endpoint (completion of care, taken off drugs for toxicity or loss to follow-up) and to measure subsequent treatment for LTBI or development of active TB by record review. | Tuberculosis | LTBI, tuberculosis, rifampin, isoniazid, prisoners | null | 2 | arm 1: isoniazid (INH) (900 mg orally) given twice weekly for 9 months arm 2: rifampin (600 mg orally) given daily for 4 months | [

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of omalizumab to treat moderate to severe allergic asthma. | Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lower airways. The inflammatory process is associated with changes in airway hyperresponsiveness (irritability), and airflow limitations caused by bronchoconstriction, edema, and mucous plugging. Mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, activated T-lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and airway epithelial cells all play a role in this inflammatory process by releasing mediators directly responsible for local inflammation and by releasing mediators that encourage a further influx of inflammatory cells (Expert Panel Report 2, 1997). These cells and their products eventually produce a state of chronic allergic inflammation leading to increased vascular leakage, mucous secretion, smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness, and nerve activation. Clinically, this process is characterized by intermittent shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness.
Although most asthmatics are atopic (allergic), non-atopic asthmatics exist and can develop equally severe disease. Non-allergic asthmatics have a trend towards higher than normal levels of the allergic antibody (IgE) though obviously they lack skin test specificity. When examining skin test reactivity and serum IgE as independent variables for asthma risk, there was a stronger association with serum IgE elevation than skin test reactivity. In fact, serum IgE tended to be high in asthmatics regardless of skin test reactivity.
Omalizumab (Xolair®) is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to the (FceRI) binding site on human IgE. The binding of omalizumab inhibits the ability of IgE to bind to basophils or mast cells.
Omalizumab recently received FDA approval for the treatment of moderate to severe persistent allergic asthma in pediatric (12 years of age and above) and adult patients. The addition of omalizumab to standard asthma therapies has been found to reduce asthma exacerbations and decrease both inhaled corticosteroid dose and rescue medication use. (Busse, 2001). In a phase III double blinded placebo controlled trial involving 525 severe allergic asthmatics, omalizumab treated patients had fewer exacerbations during both a steroid stable phase and steroid reduction phase than did placebo controls (Busse, 2001). The median reduction in steroid dose during reduction phase was 75% and 50% in the omalizumab and placebo groups respectively. In a similarly designed steroid reduction study involving 6 to 12 year-old moderate to severe allergic asthmatics, steroid reduction was possible in 100% of treated patient verses 66.7% of placebo treated patients (Milgrom, 2001). Other steroid reduction studies have had similar results (Buhl 2002, Soler 2001). Omalizumab has also been shown to improve quality of life in allergic asthmatics as measured by the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ). In adults, AQLQ demonstrated greater improvement at 16, 28 and 52 weeks in omalizumab treated patients than in placebo treated (Finn 2003). Similarly in pediatric populations, AQLQ improvement reached statistical significance in omalizumab treated patients (Lemanske 2002).
Omalizumab has shown itself to be a promising new therapy for the treatment of moderate to severe allergic asthma. It is currently not indicated for patients with non-allergic asthma. The objective of this study will be to define the effects of omalizumab on cell surface FceRI expression and serum IgE of non-allergic asthmatics. | Asthma | asthma | null | 2 | arm 1: water injection arm 2: Other Names:

Study participation will last up to two years.
We aim to investigate pharmacologic strategies for improving and stabilizing cognitive functioning in late-life depression and minimizing progression of cognitive and associated functional impairment. Cognitive impairment in late-life depression has not been adequately addressed in previous intervention research, is a core feature of the illness, contributes markedly to disability and impaired quality of life, and is an overlooked but potentially critical target of intervention. Data from the MTLD II study suggest that treating depression does not normalize cognitive functions and may not prevent their progression. We will test a pharmacologic strategy involving the cholinesterase inhibitor donepezil, in combination with maintenance antidepressant pharmacotherapy (escitalopram, venlafaxine, or duloxetine), to improve and to maintain cognitive functioning and functional competence in elderly patients with major depression.
We hypothesize that maintenance antidepressant pharmacotherapy combined with donepezil will be superior to maintenance antidepressant pharmacotherapy combined with placebo/clinical management in (1) improving cognitive performance; and (2) slowing progression of cognitive impairment and decline in functional competence. We plan to recruit 200 patients aged 65 and above in current episodes of major depression. Those who respond to antidepressant pharmacotherapy with citalopram, venlafaxine, or duloxetine will then be randomly assigned on a double-blind basis to one of two 24-month treatments: 1)antidepressant pharmacotherapy plus donepezil/clinical management; or 2)antidepressant pharmacotherapy plus placebo/clinical management.

Despite the fact that GAD frequently demands prolonged treatment with medication, very little is known about the benefits of long-term treatment. GAD is characterized by 6 months or more of exaggerated worry and tension that is unfounded or much more severe than the normal anxiety most people experience. People with GAD are unable to relax and often suffer from insomnia. Venlafaxine XR, a drug used to treat depression, has been shown to be effective in the short-term treatment of GAD. However, its benefits over a course of more than 8 weeks have not been assessed. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of venlafaxine XR in treating GAD on a long-term basis and preventing the relapse of GAD after 6 months of treatment versus 12 months of treatment.
Participants in this double-blind study will first receive 6 months of open-label treatment with venlafaxine XR. Upon completion of this initial phase, participants will be randomly assigned to either continue on venlafaxine XR or begin taking placebo. After 12 months, participants taking venlafaxine XR will be randomly assigned to continue on the drug or switch to placebo. Participants will have 22 study visits over at least 18 months. Follow-up visits will occur 24 months after enrollment. Relapse of GAD will be assessed with the Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Global Severity and Improvement Scale.

Several clinical studies also suggest that CIFN has greater antiviral activity in patients with genotype 1 hepatitis C infection, particularly if given as a daily injection. These data indicate that the use of a regimen of daily CIFN and ribavirin will lead to greater virologic response rates compared with pegylated interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin in patients with genotype 1 infection, with comparable adverse events. Emerging data indicate that HCV genotype 1 patients with a delayed virologic response to initial therapy may benefit from an extended duration of therapy. Therefore, the goals of this pilot study are to determine the tolerability and efficacy of daily CIFN plus ribavirin when given for 52 weeks or an extended duration of therapy. The target population will consist of "difficult-to-treat" patients, defined as having the following characteristics: genotype 1, a North American patient population, predominantly male gender, and no specific exclusions for pre-existing psychiatric or substance abuse co-morbidities. | Current treatment for hepatitis C is a pegylated interferon alfa plus ribavirin. This treatment is inadequate for patients with HCV genotype 1, since the majority of patients do not respond (termed non-responders) or respond but relapse (termed relapsers) following termination of these treatments. Data from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Hepatitis C Registry and community hospitals indicate that the large majority of patients identified with hepatitis C have characteristics associated with a poor treatment response and remain untreated at this time. Data have suggested that consensus interferon (CIFN, CIFN or interferon alfacon-1) has greater antiviral activity in vitro compared with interferon alfa-2a or alfa-2b. Preliminary data indicate that more patients with genotype 1 can respond to CIFN and ribavirin than current standard treatments, due to the fact that approximately 25% of patients who are nonresponders to pegylated interferon and ribavirin may have a sustained response to a regimen of daily CIFN and ribavirin. Furthermore, difficult to treat patients may benefit from a longer duration of therapy than the standard 48 week regimen based on when an initial virologic response to therapy occurs.
Aims: To determine the safety and efficacy of (A) daily CIFN (15 mcg/d sq) and ribavirin (1-1.2 gm/d PO) given for 52 weeks, vs (B) daily CIFN (15 mcg/d sq) and ribavirin (1-1.2 gm/d PO) given for 52 to 72 weeks for treatment-naïve patients with hepatitis C genotype 1, with treatment duration based on the virologic response during the initial 24 weeks.
Methods: Patients who meet eligibility criteria will be stratified by race and randomized to one of two treatment arms, and all patients will have viral kinetics measured by quantitative PCR at weeks 4,8,12,16,20 and 24. Patients in treatment arm A will follow "standard" stopping rules, i.e., if there is not a 2-log drop in viremia by 12 weeks the treatment will be discontinued, otherwise they will all receive 52 weeks of treatment if they also are qualitative PCR negative by week 24. In treatment arm B the patients will be monitored monthly until they have a virologic response (defined as \>2 log drop in viral levels from baseline) by quantitative PCR for up to 24 weeks. Once they have a virologic response by quantitative PCR their treatment will be continued for an additional 48 weeks. In both groups, treatment will be stopped if the patients do not become negative for HCV RNA by qualitative PCR by 24 weeks on therapy. A total of 192 patients at up to 10-20 sites will be recruited. The primary endpoint would be the number who achieve a sustained virologic response; secondary endpoints are the percentage of patients who complete therapy, have significant adverse events, and the relationship of early virologic response at each 4 week period between 4 and 24 weeks and those who achieve a sustained virologic response.
Sample size determination: To detect an absolute difference of 20% or more in sustained virologic response between treatment arms A and B; the Log-rank test is performed at the alpha level of .05 and the test is maintained at least 80 percent statistical power; it is estimated that a total of 96 patients in each treatment arm will be required.
Analysis: Univariate and multivariate analysis will be used to determine factors associated with final endpoints. Subgroup analyses will be done based on time to early virologic response and duration of therapy each stratification. The primary and secondary endpoints will be determined on an intention-to-treat basis starting with all patients that receive at least one dose of study medications. The primary and secondary endpoints will also be determined in a per-protocol analysis on those patients who take 80% of the prescribed CIFN and 80% of the prescribed ribavirin for 80% of the time.
Significance: The current initial treatment of pegylated interferon alfa and ribavirin for patients with hepatitis C who are genotype 1 and have other "difficult-to-treat" characteristics is inadequate. The results of this trial are needed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of two regimens of daily CIFN and ribavirin. Since the large majority of hepatitis C patients in VA and other community hospitals fall into this category, the results of this trial may influence the potential treatments recommended for these patients. | Chronic Hepatitis C | Hepatitis C interferon alfa ribavirin interferon alfacon-1 antiviral therapy | null | 2 | arm 1: Daily CIFN (15 mcg/day SQ) and RBV (1-1.2 g/d PO) given 52 weeks (group A) arm 2: CIFN (15 mcg/day SQ) and RBV (1-1.2 g/d PO) given for 52-72 weeks (from time of viral response +48 weeks) (group B) | [

To date, the only scientifically-proven and FDA-approved treatment for acute stroke is the clot-busting drug, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). A newer clot-busting drug, tenecteplase (TNK), has chemical properties that make it a potentially safer and more effective drug for treating stroke. Preliminary testing of TNK in patients with acute stroke has been encouraging enough to warrant further testing.
This study, TNK-S2B, will compare three different doses of TNK with standard tPA treatment in patients with acute stroke. Patients will be chosen randomly to receive either TNK or tPA. Neither the patient nor his/her doctor will know which medication the patient received until the study is completely finished.
The first part of the study will look at results of treatment in the first 24 hours to select the best dose of TNK to carry forward into a more detailed comparison with standard tPA treatment. After at least 100-150 pairs of the best dose of TNK and tPA patients have been enrolled, entry into the study will pause, and the outcomes at 3 months after stroke will be compared to see if the results of TNK treatment are sufficiently promising as an improvement over standard treatment to justify expanding the study to find a definitive answer.
The study, which will be conducted in at least 8 large medical centers, is expected to last about 3 years. | Stroke | stroke tenecteplase TNK ischemic tissue plasminogen activator tPA | null | 2 | arm 1: tenecteplase arm 2: tissue plasminogen activator, tPA | [

Despite induction of viral suppression, all volunteers must have demonstrated limited post-antiretroviral CD4 increase.
Lopinavir/ritonavir will be substituted for one of the 3 ARV drugs in the current (baseline) antiretroviral treatment regimen. Lopinavir/ritonavir will be substituted for any of the following: 3rd NRTI, an NNRTI, a PI or a boosted PI, while the nucleoside backbone will remain the same. If the subject is currently on a three-drug nucleoside/nucleotide plus a 4th anchor drug such as a NRTI, NNRTI, PI or boosted PI regimen, the triple nucleoside will remain constant and only the anchor drug is to be substituted with Lopinavir/ritonavir. Patients on 2 NRTIs with an NNRTI and a PI combination will not be allowed in the study.
Patients will be evaluated frequently, to include physical examination, assessment for the development of AIDS-defining conditions, hematology, chemistry, lipid profile, CD4 CD8 cell counts, plasma HIV-1 RNA ultrasensitive, and assessment of adverse events.

When the substudy was added, a new randomization was created for the participating centers. Those subjects in the bone sub-study were stratified by country, gender (male, premenopausal female, and postmenopausal female), pre-screening HbA1c (i.e., ≤9%; \>9%), and either to MET or AVM.
At randomization, Visit 3 (Week 0), subjects were initiated at Dose Level 1. Treatment with AVM was initiated at a dose of 4 mg/500 mg and titrated up to a maximum total daily dose of AVM 8 mg/2000 mg.

Colony-stimulating factors, such as darbepoetin alfa and G-CSF, may increase the number of red blood cells and white blood cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving azacitidine together with darbepoetin alfa and G-CSF may be an effective treatment for myelodysplastic syndromes.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving azacitidine together with darbepoetin alfa and G-CSF works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. | OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* Determine the hematological response rate in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes treated with azacitidine, darbepoetin alfa, and filgrastim (G-CSF).
Secondary
* Determine the time to leukemia progression, survival, and changes in apoptotic index of bone marrow in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized study.
* Initial therapy (courses 1 and 2): Patients receive azacitidine subcutaneously (SC) or intra-venous (IV) on days 1-5 (week 1) and darbepoetin alfa\* SC on day 8 (week 2). Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses.
Patients undergo bone marrow aspirate and biopsy to assess response. Patients with a major hematological improvement OR with grade 3-4 hematological toxicities during the first 2 courses of therapy AND/OR ≥ 50% reduction in bone marrow cellularity compared to baseline proceed to optimization therapy A. Patients not meeting any of the above criteria proceed to optimization therapy B. Patients with disease progression are removed from study.
* Optimization therapy A (courses 3-8): Patients receive azacitidine SC or IV on days 1-5 (week 1), darbepoetin alfa\*\* SC on day 8 (week 2), and filgrastim (G-CSF) SC 3 times weekly in weeks 2-4.
* Optimization therapy B (courses 3-8): Patients receive a higher dose of azacitidine on days 1-5 (week 1), darbepoetin alfa\*\* SC on day 8 (week 2), and G-CSF 3 times weekly in weeks 2-4.
In both optimization therapy A and B, treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses. Patients with any degree of hematological improvement after initial therapy and optimization therapy proceed to maintenance therapy.
* Maintenance therapy (course 9 and all subsequent courses): Patients receive azacitidine on days 1-5 (week 1). Only patients with anemia (hemoglobin \< 12 g/dL) and/or neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count \< 1,500/mm ³) at the start of any given course during maintenance therapy receive darbepoetin alfa\*\* SC beginning on day 8 (week 2) and continuing once every 21 days and G-CSF SC 3 times weekly beginning in week 2.
Courses repeat every 28-56 days (determined by the treating physician) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Bone marrow samples are obtained at baseline and after the completion of course 2 of study treatment for apoptosis analysis, flow cytometry, and gene expression profiles of p53 and p21 by immunohistochemistry. Peripheral blood samples are obtained periodically and analyzed for hemoglobin F quantitation.
NOTE: \*Administered only if the patient is anemic (hemoglobin \< 12 g/dL).
NOTE: \*\*Darbepoetin alfa is held if hemoglobin \> 12 g/dL on day 1 of a given cycle. | Leukemia Myelodysplastic Syndromes | de novo myelodysplastic syndromes refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts refractory anemia with excess blasts refractory anemia refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia chronic myelomonocytic leukemia secondary myelodysplastic syndromes childhood myelodysplastic syndromes | null | 1 | arm 1: Combination of Azacitadine andHematopoietic Growth Factors | [

VELCADE® is a drug that inhibits certain immune reactions that happen when lymphocytes encounter foreign substances. We are doing this research to determine if VELCADE® may be useful in treating GVHD. | Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious complication after bone marrow transplantation from another donor. GVHD is caused by certain cells called lymphocytes. Normally these cells make immune reactions that help protect the body from foreign substances that cause infection. Here, these cells attack the normal tissues of the body as if they were foreign substances. This interferes with the normal function of vital organs and results in their damage. In GVHD these cells attack the skin, liver and bowel. GVHD also increases the chances of infection.
VELCADE® is a drug that inhibits certain immune reactions that happen when lymphocytes encounter foreign substances. We are doing this research to determine if VELCADE® may be useful in treating GVHD.
VELCADE® is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple myeloma in patients who have received at least two prior therapies and have demonstrated disease progression on their last therapy. Its effectiveness is also being tested in other cancers. The dose of the drug being used in this research study is the same as what is used for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

A subclinical inflammatory state is thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and coronary artery disease (CAD). Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) -alpha is an inflammatory cytokine that is increased in a spectrum of inflammatory diseases as well as in insulin resistance. TNF-alpha antagonists are clinically effective in the inflammation of arthritides, and have recently been shown by our group to decrease inflammatory cardiovascular risk markers in metabolic syndrome. Data suggests that adiponectin, a recently discovered adipocytokine that may protect against the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis, may be downregulated by TNF-alpha. In addition, population based studies have shown that those with the highest levels of TNF-alpha have an increased relative risk of cardiovascular morbidity while rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with TNF-alpha blockade appear protected from cardiovascular disease. We will perform a 6-month study in which we will administer etanercept, a TNF-alpha receptor fusion protein, to subjects with metabolic syndrome to investigate its effect on surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease, including inflammatory markers, adiponectin and glucose tolerance and endothelial function. The results of the proposed study will have broad implications regarding the physiological role of TNF-alpha on the inflammatory cascade, cardiovascular indices and endothelial function. | Metabolic Syndrome | Inflammation Visceral adiposity TNF Adiponectin glucose tolerance endothelial function metabolic syndrome | null | 2 | arm 1: None arm 2: None | [

The investigators propose a double-blind, randomized controlled pilot study comparing the effect of sitagliptin (a novel anti-diabetic drug with beta-cell protective potential) versus placebo, on the preservation of beta-cell function over one year in patients with T2DM on metformin, the first-line agent for the treatment of T2DM (ie. the study groups will be (i) sitagliptin and metformin versus (ii) placebo and metformin). This study may demonstrate an important beta-cell protective capacity of sitagliptin.
Hypothesis: In patients with T2DM on metformin, treatment with the DPP-IV inhibitor sitagliptin will preserve pancreatic beta-cell function. | Medications currently used in the treatment of T2DM have not been shown to modify the progressive decline in beta-cell function that occurs over time. Recent evidence, however, suggests that a new class of anti-diabetic medications, called dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors, may be able to protect beta cells and hence alter the natural history of T2DM. We thus wish to study the effect of sitagliptin (a DPP-IV inhibitor) on the preservation of beta-cell function in patients with T2DM randomized to either (i) sitagliptin and metformin or (ii) placebo and metformin. | Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus | Type 2 diabetes beta-cell function sitagliptin intensive insulin therapy | null | 2 | arm 1: Sitagliptin 100mg once a day (od) by mouth (po) arm 2: Placebo once a day (od) by mouth (po) | [
