Justification
A re-examination has shown that the requirements of Regulation (EU) No. 536/2014 (CTR) were incorrectly considered to be fulfilled by the RMS.

Therefore, the authorisation of the clinical trial must be revoked, Article 77 CTR, Section 42 (2) German Medicinal Products Act (Arzneimittelgesetz, AMG), as the conduct of the clinical trial is not justifiable with regard to the requirements of the CTR in Articles 28 and 32 (1) (e). The risk-benefit assessment is negative for the proposed age group and the clinical trial is neither intended to investigate treatments for a medical condition that is unique to minors, nor is the clinical trial essential at this stage for the validation of data obtained in clinical trials on persons capable of giving informed consent or by other research methods in relation to minors.

Rather, it is deemed premature to authorise a clinical trial in this age group (children 2 to 12 years of age).

The currently available evidence is based on a First-In-Human trial in 15 adult patients (ALXN1850-HPP-101/NCT04980248). In this trial, three experimental cohorts were administered three dosages of ALXN1850 (low, medium, high), respectively, via IV infusion and/or SC over multiple administration intervals. It is acknowledged that the pharmacological activity of ALXN1850 in adult patients with hypophosphatasia was confirmed in this trial. However, the evidence with regard to the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of ALXN1850 generated in this trial is too limited to enable extrapolation to paediatric age groups, in particular (very young) children.

The Sponsor is, therefore, requested to generate more evidence with regard to the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and particularly safety of ALXN1850 in adult and adolescent patients (“Hickory”, ALXN ALXN1850-HPP-301/D8590C00002/NCT06079281/EU CT 2023-505673-32-00) first. Based on the new evidence from the “Hickory” trial, substantial modifications of the study protocol of the „Chestnut“ trial (ALXN1850-HPP-303/D8590C00004/NCT06079372/EU CT2023-505674-15-00) may be necessary (e. g., based on an interim analysis of the “Hickory” trial that is assessed by the Data Monitoring Committee). It is essential that enrolment in the “Chestnut” trial be staggered by descending age ranges, starting with children aged 10 to 12 years.

Up to that point, additional evidence in paediatric age groups may have been generated in the “Mulberry” trial (ALXN1850-HPP-305/D8590C00003/NCT06079359/2023-505675-73-00) that can inform weight-based dosage as well as risk monitoring and mitigation strategies.

As outlined above, the option remains to conduct the “Chestnut” trial in children later, at a more advanced stage of clinical development of ALXN1850, when a more cogent rationale based on more extensive evidence is available.

The Sponsor has the opportunity to comment in accordance with Article 77 (2) CTR.
