Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy, Safety, Efficacy

Compare, after 5 days of treatment, the cessation of disease progression in patients with SJS/NET between the experimental arm receiving filgrastim in addition to the reference symptomatic treatment (FILGRASTIM group) and the control arm receiving only the reference symptomatic treatment combined with placebo (CONTROL group).

Secondary objectives 11

  1. Assessment of time to cessation of disease progression since initiation of treatment, between FILGRASTIM and CONTROL treatment arms
  2. Evaluation of time to complete re-epidermalization, between FILGRASTIM and CONTROL treatment arms
  3. Evaluation of overall survival at time D30 between FILGRASTIM and CONTROL treatment arms
  4. Evaluation of overall survival to 365 days between FILGRASTIM and CONTROL arms
  5. Evaluation of the number of days of hospitalization corresponding to the SJS/NET episode between the FILGRASTIM and CONTROL treatment arms
  6. Assessment of the frequency of clinical or biological adverse events leading to premature discontinuation of FILGRASTIM treatment
  7. Assessment of the total number per patient and the nature of clinical or biological adverse events observed during patient management in each treatment arm
  8. Assessment of the use of systemic corticosteroid therapy in each treatment arm.
  9. Assessment of the presence of ophthalmological, stomatological/ORL, gastroenterological, gynecological, urological and psychiatric sequelae
  10. Assessment of patient quality of life
  11. Assessment of risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 Filgrastim (ZARZIO) / Placebo (Glucose 5%)
Single-center, randomized, controlled, single-blind (patient) versus placebo, clinical phase 2/3, superiority pilot trial comparing two therapeutic strategies: - FILGRASTIM EXPERIMENTAL arm: reference symptomatic treatment combined with intravenous or subcutaneous ZARZIO treatment, - CONTROL arm: reference symptomatic treatment combined with intravenous placebo (5% glucose) (except for patients weighing less than 30kg).
Randomised Controlled Single [{"id":131952,"code":1,"name":"Subject"}] FILGRASTIM: Injection of ZARZIO 30 MU/0,5mL and/or ZARZIO 48 MU/0,5mL, over a period of 5 consecutive days (1 injection per day during 30 minutes - - day 1 : set up standard treatment). The filgrastim solution will be diluted in 20 mL of 5% Glucose. The dose of ZARZIO administrated depends of the patient’s weight :
- 20 to < 30kg = 0,3 mL of ZARZIO 48 MU/0,5mL (subcutaneous route)
- 30 to < 60kg = 0,5 mL of ZARZIO 30 MU/0,5mL (by IV)
- 60 to < 90kg = 0,5 mL of ZARZIO 48 MU/0,5mL (by IV)
- 90 to < 120kg = 2x0,5 mL of ZARZIO 30 MU/0,5mL (by IV)
- 120 to 150kg = 0,5 mL of ZARZIO 30 MU/0,5mL + 0,5 mL of ZARZIO 48 MU/0,5mL (by IV)
- > 150kg = 2x0,5 mL of ZARZIO 48 MU/0,5mL (by IV)
PLACEBO: Injection of 20 mL of Glucose 5% solution over a period of 5 consecutive days (1 injection per day during 30 minutes - day 1 : set up standard treatment). The dose given is equivalent to that used for filgrastim :
- 20 to < 30kg = placebo not available because the injection must be done subcutaneously so the blind cannot be respected.
- 30 to < 60kg = 20mL of Glucose 5% solution (by IV)
- 60 to < 90kg = 20mL of Glucose 5% solution (by IV)
- 90 to < 120kg = 20mL of Glucose 5% solution (by IV)
- 120 to 150kg = 20mL of Glucose 5% solution (by IV)
- > 150kg = 20mL of Glucose 5% solution (by IV)

  6. Patient who received cyclosporine, anti-TNFalpha or intravenous immunoglobulins or lithium in the month prior the inclusion
  7. Pregnant or breast-feeding women
  8. Patient under protective measure (safeguard measure, curatorship, guardianship) or deprived of liberty
  9. Patient in exclusion period after participation at other interventional clinical trial

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Comparison between the 2 groups of the proportion of patients with a halt in the progression of skin detachment at D5 (D0: initiation of treatment) defined by a detached and/or bullous surface and/or associated with a NIKOLSKY sign determined according to the stable burns table

Secondary endpoints 11

  1. Time to stop progression
  2. Time to complete re-epidermalization, defined as disappearance of skin erosions AND return to normal skin
  3. Overall survival at D30
  4. Overall survival to D365
  5. Number of hospital days corresponding to the length of hospitalization for the SJS/NET episode
  6. Number per patient and nature of clinical or biological adverse events observed between D0 and D5 leading to premature discontinuation of filgrastim treatment
  7. Total number per patient and nature of clinical or biological adverse events observed up to D365
  8. Use of systemic corticosteroid therapy between D0 and D15, with a study of the nature, cumulative doses and indications for objective prescriptions. A comparison will be made between the 2 treatment groups.
  9. Presence of ophthalmological, stomatological/ORL, gastroenterological, gynecological, urological and psychiatric sequelae
  10. Patient quality of life
  11. Risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
