Effect Of Poloxamer 188 Vs Placebo On Painful Vaso-Occlusive Episodes In Children And Adults With Sickle Cell Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial
JAMA-JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION(2021)
摘要
Key PointsQuestionCan poloxamer 188, an agent that is reported to reduce blood viscosity and cell-cell interactions, effectively reduce the duration of vaso-occlusive episodes (painful crises) in hospitalized patients with sickle cell disease? FindingsIn this randomized clinical trial that included 388 children and adults with sickle cell disease, treatment with poloxamer 188 vs placebo resulted in mean time to last dose of parenteral opioids during vaso-occlusive episodes of 81.8 vs 77.8 hours, a difference that was not statistically significant. MeaningAmong patients with sickle cell disease, poloxamer 188 did not significantly shorten the duration of painful vaso-occlusive episodes.ImportanceAlthough effective agents are available to prevent painful vaso-occlusive episodes of sickle cell disease (SCD), there are no disease-modifying therapies for ongoing painful vaso-occlusive episodes; treatment remains supportive. A previous phase 3 trial of poloxamer 188 reported shortened duration of painful vaso-occlusive episodes in SCD, particularly in children and participants treated with hydroxyurea. ObjectiveTo reassess the efficacy of poloxamer 188 for vaso-occlusive episodes. Design, Setting, and ParticipantsPhase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, international trial conducted from May 2013 to February 2016 that included 66 hospitals in 12 countries and 60 cities; 388 individuals with SCD (hemoglobin SS, SC, S-beta(0) thalassemia, or S-beta(+) thalassemia disease) aged 4 to 65 years with acute moderate to severe pain typical of painful vaso-occlusive episodes requiring hospitalization were included. InterventionsA 1-hour 100-mg/kg loading dose of poloxamer 188 intravenously followed by a 12-hour to 48-hour 30-mg/kg/h continuous infusion (n=194) or placebo (n=194). Main Outcomes and MeasuresTime in hours from randomization to the last dose of parenteral opioids among all participants and among those younger than 16 years as a separate subgroup. ResultsOf 437 participants assessed for eligibility, 388 were randomized (mean age, 15.2 years; 176 [45.4%] female), the primary outcome was available for 384 (99.0%), 15-day follow-up contacts were available for 357 (92.0%), and 30-day follow-up contacts were available for 368 (94.8%). There was no significant difference between the groups for the mean time to last dose of parenteral opioids (81.8 h for the poloxamer 188 group vs 77.8 h for the placebo group; difference, 4.0 h [95% CI, -7.8 to 15.7]; geometric mean ratio, 1.2 [95% CI, 1.0-1.5]; P=.09). Based on a significant interaction of age and treatment (P=.01), there was a treatment difference in time from randomization to last administration of parenteral opioids for participants younger than 16 years (88.7 h in the poloxamer 188 group vs 71.9 h in the placebo group; difference, 16.8 h [95% CI, 1.7-32.0]; geometric mean ratio, 1.4 [95% CI, 1.1-1.8]; P=.008). Adverse events that were more common in the poloxamer 188 group than the placebo group included hyperbilirubinemia (12.7% vs 5.2%); those more common in the placebo group included hypoxia (12.0% vs 5.3%). Conclusions and RelevanceAmong children and adults with SCD, poloxamer 188 did not significantly shorten time to last dose of parenteral opioids during vaso-occlusive episodes. These findings do not support the use of poloxamer 188 for vaso-occlusive episodes. Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01737814This phase 3 trial examines the effectiveness of poloxamer 188 in reducing the duration of painful vaso-occlusive episodes in children and adults with sickle cell disease compared with placebo.
