A Multicenter rAndomized, open-label, blinded endpoint evaluation, phase 3 study comparinG the effect of abelacimab relative to daltepariN on venOus thromboLism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding in patients with gastroIntestinal (GI)/genitourinAry (GU) cancer associated VTE (Magnolia)
Trial Description
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, blinded endpoint study to evaluate the effect of
abelacimab relative to dalteparin on venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding in
patients with gastrointestinal (GI)/genitourinary (GU) cancer associated VTE (Magnolia)
Eligibility Requirements
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female subjects ≥18 years old or other legal maturity age according to the
country of residence
- Confirmed GI (colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, esophageal, gastro-esophageal junction
or hepatobiliary) or confirmed GU (renal, ureteral, bladder, prostate, or urethra)
cancers if:
- Unresectable, locally advanced, metastatic, or non-metastatic GI/GU cancer and
- No intended curative surgery during the study
- Confirmed symptomatic or incidental proximal lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
(i.e., popliteal, femoral, iliac, and/or inferior vena cava vein thrombosis) and/or a
confirmed symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE), or an incidental PE in a segmental, or
larger pulmonary artery. Patients are eligible within 120 hours from diagnosis of the
qualifying VTE.
- Anticoagulation therapy with LMWH for at least 6 months is indicated
- Able to provide written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent to treat the
current (index) occurrence of DVT and/or PE
- More than 120 hours of pre-treatment with therapeutic doses of UFH, LMWH, or other
anticoagulants
- An indication to continue treatment with therapeutic doses of an anticoagulant other
than for VTE treatment prior to randomization (e.g., atrial fibrillation, mechanical
heart valve, prior VTE)
- PE leading to hemodynamic instability (systolic BP <90 mmHg or shock).
- Acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke or intracranial hemorrhage, in the last 4 weeks
preceding screening.
- Brain trauma, or cerebral or a spinal cord surgery or spinal procedures such as lumbar
puncture or epidural/spinal anesthesia within 4 weeks of screening
- Need for aspirin in a dosage of more than 100 mg/day or, any other antiplatelet agent
alone or in combination with aspirin
- Bleeding requiring medical attention at the time of randomization or in the preceding
4 weeks
- Planned brain, spinal cord, cardiac, vascular, major thoracic and/or major abdominal
surgery in the 4 weeks following randomization
- History of heparin induced thrombocytopenia
- Infective acute or subacute endocarditis at the time of presentation
- Primary brain cancer or untreated intracranial metastasis
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 3 or 4 at screening
- Life expectancy of <3 months at randomization
- Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) <30 mL/min at the screening visit
- Platelet count <50,000/ mm3 at the screening visit
- Hemoglobin <8 g/dL at the screening visit
- Acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, liver cirrhosis; or an alanine
aminotransferase ≥3 times and/or bilirubin ≥2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) at
the screening visit in the absence of clinical explanation
- Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] > 180 mm Hg or diastolic BP
>100 mm Hg despite antihypertensive treatment)
- Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) who are unwilling or unable to use highly
effective contraceptive measures during the study from screening up to 3 days after
last treatment of dalteparin or 100 days after administration of abelacimab
- Sexually active males with sexual partners of childbearing potential must agree to use
a condom or other reliable contraceptive measure up to 3 days after last treatment of
dalteparin or 100 days after administration of abelacimab
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women
- History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs (including dalteparin) or its
excipients, to drugs of similar chemical classes, or any contraindication listed in
the label for dalteparin
- Subjects with any condition that in the judgement of the Investigator would place the
subject at increased risk of harm if he/she participated in the study
- Use of other investigational (not-registered) drugs within 5 half-lives prior to
enrollment or until the expected pharmacodynamic effect has returned to baseline,
whichever is longer. Participation in academic non-interventional studies or
interventional studies, comprising testing different strategies or different
combinations of registered drugs is permitted.
