CHESTNUT Trial Summary

This trial will test if a new medication is safe and effective for children with a rare bone disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with Hypophosphatasia (HPP) who are in early puberty or younger, have open growth plates, and have been treated with asfotase alfa for at least 6 months. They must weigh over 10 kg and not have had a new fracture recently. Kids can't join if they've had certain other health problems or surgeries that might affect the study, or if they're allergic to ingredients in the treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing ALXN1850 against asfotase alfa to see which one is safer and more tolerable for kids with HPP who've already tried asfotase alfa. It's a Phase 3 study where participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ALXN1850 or continue their current treatment of asfotase alfa.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from ALXN1850 could include reactions similar to those experienced with asfotase alfa since both drugs treat HPP. These may involve issues at the injection site, allergic reactions, or complications related to the conditions being treated.

CHESTNUT Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: asfotase alfaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Starting at Day 1 of the Randomized Evaluation Period, participants will receive asfotase alfa for a total of 24 weeks. Participants will receive 6 mg/kg/week of asfotase alfa via SC injection as either 2 mg/kg 3 times per week or 1 mg/kg 6 times per week. Part A of the OLE Period participants will have frequent visits over the first 24 weeks; Part B will have visits every 9 months for up to approximately 108 weeks.
Group II: ALXN1850Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Starting at Day 1 of the Randomized Evaluation Period participants will receive ALXN1850 for a total of 24 weeks. Participants will receive bodyweight dependent doses of either 20mg, 35mg or 50mg of ALXN1850 once q2w via SC injection. During Part A of the OLE Period, participants will have frequent visits over the first 24 weeks; Part B of the OLE Period participants will have visits every 9 months for up to approximately 108 weeks.
