UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO MEDICAL CENTER CONSENT TO ACT AS A RESEARCH SUBJECT

89-619

ACTG 122

Drs. Douglas Richman, Stephen Spector, J. Allen McCutchan, Samuel A. Bozzette, Lisa DeJarnette, Samuel Yonren, Brett Cassens, Wayne Dankner, William Freeman and their associates are conducting a study to determine the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetic profile and effect on viral cultures of an oral form of FIAC. FIAC is a medication that is active against herpes virus infections (herpes simplex, varicella zoster, and cytomegalovirus). FIAC has been used successfully in earlier studies to treat herpes infections in patients who have a compromised immune system. I have been asked to participate because I have a cytomegalovirus infection, but I do not have evidence of CMV retinitis.

Ganciclovir is a drug which is presently used to treat CMV retinitis and other forms of CMV infection. However, ganciclovir must be administered intravenously and for prolonged periods, usually necessitating a central venous catheter. The purpose of my receiving oral FIAC is to test its safety, tolerance, and antiviral effects, so that it may be used to treat patients with serious CMV infections such as CMV retinitis.

If I agree to be in this study the following will be done:

  1. I will have a complete history, physical exam, viral cultures, and blood drawn for laboratory tests at the time of enrollment, and at least every other week thereafter for up to 12 weeks.

  2. I will receive one of five possible dose regimens or oral FIAC. If my blood and/or urine continues to grow cytomegalovirus, and the dose I am taking is being tolerated by me and other people taking the same dose of FIAC, then I will be increased to the next higher dose level. Once my blood or urine becomes culture negative for CMV for at least four weeks I will remain at that dose level for the remainder of the study.

  3. I will not need to be hospitalized; however, I will need to spend at least two hours at the UCSD Treatment Center during the second week and the eighth week in order to have bloods drawn for FIAC levels. If I take part in the pharmacokinetic study, then I will need to spend one day in the Outpatient Clinical Research Unit in order to have blood drawn and urine collected for eight hours after my first daily dose of FIAC.

  1. I will have ophthalmologic exams done at my enrollment onto the study and during weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12.

  2. If I develop CMV retinitis during the study, I will be allowed to continue FIAC if I desire, or withdraw from the study.

  3. I will have electrocardiograms performed at entry and day 7, day 14, and weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  4. If I am sexually active I will use effective contraceptive during FIAC treatment and for 30 days following treatment.

  5. If I have been taking AZT without difficulty over the past month, then I can continue to take AZT while on the study; however, I must take 600mg. or less per day.

  6. I have not taken and I will continue not to use acyclovir, ganciclovir, foscarnet, or interferon during the study. If I have not been taking AZT previously, I understand that I cannot start AZT until after the 12 week study period.

  7. After the 12 week study period has ended, I will not continue to receive FIAC.

Participation in this study may involve some added risks or discomforts:

It is possible that FIAC may cause my white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets to decrease. This may predispose me to bleeding, anemia, and infection. Some other side effects that I may experience include nausea and perhaps vomiting. It is also possible that confusion, jerking, and even seizures may occur while I am taking this medication, although this is unlikely on the doses I will receive.

In animal studies there was evidence of heart damage in those animals receiving very high doses of FIAC. It is not known whether FIAC may cause sterility or infertility in humans, however, this is a possibility. Since interactions between FIAC and other medications are incompletely understood at this time, I must not take other medications without first consulting with my study physician or nurse practitioner.

I realize that I may receive no benefit from participating in this study. The knowledge gained may help others in the future.

Dr. ______________ has explained this study to my child and me and answered my questions. If my child or I have other ?? or if we wish to report a research-related problem, I may call Dr. _______________ at 298-7021.

INVESTIGATOR'S STATEMENT
Purpose and Benefits

Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Varicella Zoster virus (VZV), and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection are significant opportunistic diseases seen in patients who are immunocompromised. Many HIV-infected patients are also coinfected with hepatitis B virus. CMV is known to cause many serious infections including inflammation of the retina in one or both eves ("retinitis"). This is one of the infections associated with AIDS and may lead to blindness. Although herpes and hepatitis B infections do not cause AIDS, severe herpes and hepatitis B disease may occur following advanced immunocompromised states. FIAU is an investigational new drug which has not been tested previously in humans The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows the use of FIAU only in research with a limited number of subjects. FIAU is similar to another investigational new drug, FIAC, which has been tested previously in approximately 100 patients, including AIDS patients with CMV infection. The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and tolerance over a two week period of four different doses of FIAU in HIV-infected patients including some with CMV, VZV, HSV, or hepatitis B infection. You may benefit if your CMV, HSV, VZV or hepatitis B infection improves or stabilizes while receiving FIAU therapy, although no benefits can be guaranteed. The information gained will provide some initial information on the dosing and side effects of FIAU which may be of future benefit to HIV-infected patients.

Procedures

This study will last for 14 days exclusive of the screening and any followup visits. If you agree to participate in this study, you will have a complete history and physical examination performed. At the screening and baseline visits you will have blood drawn for

Suggested Citation:"Appendix D: Informed Consent Documents." Institute of Medicine. 1995. Review of the Fialuridine (FIAU) Clinical Trials. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. doi: 10.17226/4887.
×

AIDS virus and immune function tests as well as for routine blood tests (four tablespoons). You will also have other routine baseline studies, including chest X-rays, EKG, urinalysis, stool guaiac (for detection of blood), and an eye examination (only if you are infected with CMV). You will receive FIAU as an outpatient as soon as it has been determined that you meet the criteria for entry. The dose of FIAU will be assigned sequentially (in order of patient enrollment) per kilogram of body weight. Your FIAU dose will range from 1.0 to 5.0 mg/kg/day. FIAU will be given orally every 8 hours with about 2 tablespoons of water and will be Taken either one hour prior to or three hours after meals. You may receive FIAU for up to 14 days or until your CMV, HSV or VZV infection worsens or until you experience significant toxicity.

You will have regular check-ups to monitor your infection and your tolerance of FIAU. These will be performed on days 2, 3, 5, 7 10 and 14. Treatment may be discontinued or modified depending on your response. Standard blood tests, urinalysis, stool guaiac, CMV, HSV, VZV and/or HBV (hepatitis B virus) tests, eye exams, EKG, and tests measuring the concentration of FIAU in your blood will be done at some of these visits. Approximately 17 tablespoons of blood will be drawn during the two week study. You are requested to avoid heavy exercise for 1 day prior to each day that blood is to be drawn (e.g., days 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14). if you have chronic HBV infection, you will be required to have a one week and four week followup visit. At this visit you will have a brief history and physical exam; blood (2 teaspoonfuls) will also be drawn at each of these visits.

While you are taking FIAU you may not take acyclovir (ZoviraxR), ganciclovir (DHPG), foscarnet or interferon. You may be allowed to take zidovudine (also known as azidothymidine AZT, RetrovirR) for the duration of the this study if you've been taking the drug for at least 6 weeks, if you are receiving less than or equal to 600 mg per day, and if your red cell, white cell and platelet counts have not dropped significantly. If you start taking AZT after you've begun this FIAU study, you will be dropped from the study. You are allowed to take aerosolized pentamidine for prevention of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.

Risk and Discomforts

Although FIAU has not been administered to humans, there are a number of known side effects of FIAC that patients have experienced in other studies. You may experience nausea and vomiting. FIAU may also cause toxicity to your blood-forming cells; specifically your white cells, red cells and platelets may be reduced in number. Reduction of your white cells may cause you to experience more frequent infections. A decrease in red blood cells can cause fatigue and too few platelets may cause bleeding. With FIAC, these effects reversed with lowering of the dose or drug discontinuation. Some of your blood chemistry values may change while on FIAU therapy. Reversible neurologic toxicity following FIAC administration has been infrequently reported but FIAU may also cause confusion, muscle jerking and seizures. Polymyositis

×

(inflammation of many muscles) has been reported in one patient receiving FIAC and was reversible with drug discontinuation. Non-reversible cardiac toxicity (damage or death to heart muscle and tissue) at very high FIAC doses has been observed in animal studies. These neurologic and cardiac effects may occur with FIAU. FIAU may also affect the production of healthy sperm and/or fetal development. Since FIAU is an investigational drug, there may be other previously unknown side effects. The risks of drawing blood include mild pain, bruising, or rarely infection at the needle site.

If you take this drug during pregnancy you may expose your unborn child to significant hazards of deformity. if you are a woman, you must avoid pregnancy while taking this drug, and, if you are sexually active, you must agree to use some form of barrier contraception while you participate and for at least 3 months following study completion. If you are a woman of child-bearing potential, you will be required to have a serum (blood) pregnancy test prior to entry in the study. If you do become pregnant while on this study, you must notify the investigator immediately. If you are a man with a female partner of child-bearing age, should your partner become pregnant, there is the possible risk of deformity in the child. Therefore, it is important that you or your partner use barrier contraception.

The amount of radiation exposure from the chest x-rays will be about 110 mrem; this is about the same as normal exposure from background radiation in Seattle during one year.

Alternatives

If you choose not to participate in the study, it will have no effect on your continued care. Other alternatives at this point include careful observation by your doctor and either treatment by Foscarnet, interferon or Ganciclovir depending on your individual infection. Other treatment includes treatment against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which causes AIDS (such as Zidovudine), in order to contain the underlying HIV infection which made you vulnerable to infections.

Other Information

All information and test results will be strictly confidential. You and your laboratory samples will be identified by code. All records with identifying information will be kept in locked files, and will be available only to the investigators with the following exception. Representatives of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Oclassen Pharmaceuticals (makers of the drug) will have the right to review study data and will have access to identifying information. The FDA,. the NIH, and Oclassen Pharmaceuticals reserves the right to review subjects' personal medical records as relevant to this study. You should also understand that the investigators of this study are requesting your permission to review your medical records for purposes of this research study. The medical records utilized

in this study will be entered into a centralized computer data base but only code numbers will be used. No publication or public discussion of the results of this research will contain information that could identify you. The research records will be kept indefinitely. Part of the blood samples will be saved, and may be used in the future for other HIV-related tests. These samples will be identified only by code number and will be accessible only to studies involving current University of Washington investigators.

The study drug, FIAU, laboratory tests, and clinic visits will be provided free of charge. However, costs of hospitalization and/or medications required for treatment of side effects will be the financial responsibility of you and your insurance company. Some insurance companies may not reimburse you for expenses arising from investigational studies. If significant findings are noted during the study that might affect your willingness to continue hue to participate, these findings will be provided to you.

INVESTIGATOR'S STATEMENT
Purpose and Benefits

Many HIV-infected patients are coinfected with hepatitis B virus. Although hepatitis B infections do not cause AIDS, severe hepatitis B disease may occur following advanced immunocompromised states. FIAU is an investigational new drug which has recently been tested in a small number of humans. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows the use of FIAU only in research with a limited number of subjects. FIAU is similar to another investigational new drug, FIAC, which has been tested previously in approximately 100 patients, including AIDS patients with CMV infection. The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and tolerance over a two to six-week period of two different doses of FIAU in HIV-infected patients with hepatitis B infection. You may benefit if your hepatitis B infection improves or stabilizes while receiving FIAU therapy, although no benefits can be guaranteed. The information gained will provide some initial information on the dosing and side effects of FIAU which may be of future benefit to HIV-infected patients.

Procedures

If you agree to participate in this study, you will have a complete history and physical examination performed. At the screening and baseline visits you will have blood drawn for AIDS virus and immune function tests as well as for routine blood tests (four tablespoons). You will also have other routine baseline studies, including chest X-rays, EKG, urinalysis, and stool guaiac (for detection of blood). You will receive FIAU as an outpatient as soon as it has been determined that you meet the criteria for entry. Your FIAU dose will range from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/kg/day. FIAU will be given orally every 8 hours with about 2 tablespoons of water and will be taken either one hour prior to or three hours after meals. You may receive FIAU for up to 14 days.

You will have regular check-ups to monitor your infection and your tolerance of FIAU. These will be performed on days 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14. Treatment may be discontinued or modified depending on your response. Standard blood tests, urinalysis, stool guaiac, hepatitis B virus (HBV) tests, EKG, and tests measuring the concentration of FIAU in your blood will be done at some of these visits. Approximately 17 tablespoons of blood will be drawn during the two week study. You are requested to avoid heavy exercise for 1 day prior to each day that blood is to be drawn (e.g., days 2, 3', 5, 7, 10, and 14). You will be required to have a one week and four week post-treatment followup visit. At this visit you will have a brief history and physical exam; blood (2 teaspoonfuls) will also be drawn at each of these visits.

At the end of the 14 days of treatment, you will be evaluated (with blood tests) to determine if your hepatitis B infection improved. If your hepatitis B infection did not improve, your participation in the study will be completed. If your hepatitis B infection improved (according to blood test results) during treatment with 1.0 mg/kg/day dose but showed signs of worsening off treatment, you will have the option of being treated for another 2 weeks with FIAU with the same followup schedule as for the initial treatment. If you were treated with either the 0.1 mg/kg/day or the 0.5 mg/kg/day dose and showed improvement, which then worsened off treatment, you will have the option of being treated for another 4 weeks with FIAU. Followup will be the same as with the initial dose except that at weeks 3 and 4 of treatment you will undergo the same evaluation as at week 1. If your hepatitis infection shows improvement with either dose of FIAU, you will be asked to return monthly for one year at which time you will have 1 tablespoon of blood drawn for hepatitis and liver funtion evaluation.

If you are chosen to receive either the 0.1 or 0.5 mg/kg/day FIAU dose, you may be asked to participate in two daytime studies to determine the blood concentrations of FIAU. Following your first dose of FIAU on day 1 multiple blood samples (each 15 cc or one tablespoonful) will be collected over an 8 hour interval from an indwelling catheter. Following your last dose of FIAU on day 14, multiple blood samples (each one tablespoonful) will be obtained over a 12 hour interval. Additionally, you will be asked to save your urine for the initial 8 hours of this second study. These studies will be conducted at the AIDS Clinical Trials Unit. A maximum of 20 tablespoons of blood will be collected in both of the blood concentration studies.

While you are taking FIAU you may not take acyclovir (ZoviraxR), ganciclovir (DHPG), foscarnet or interferon. You may be allowed to take' zidovudine (also known as azidothymidine, AZT, RetrovirR) for the duration of this study if you've been taking the drug for at least 6 weeks, if you are receiving less than or equal to 600 mg per day, and if your red cell, white cell and platelet counts have not dropped significantly. If you start taking AZT after you've begun this FIAU study, you will be dropped from the study. You are allowed to take aerosolized pentamidine for prevention of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.

Drs. Douglas Richman, Stephen Spector, J. Allen McCutchan, Samuel A. Bozzette, Leland Rickman, Diane Havlir, Wayne Dankner, William Freeman and their associates are conducting a study to determine the safety, tolerance, and effect on vital cultures of an oral form of FIAU. FIAU is a medication that is active against herpes virus infections (herpes simplex, varicella zoster, and cytomegalovirus) and hepatitis B. FIAU has not been used in human subjects but a related antibiotic FIAC has been successfully used to treat herpes virus infections in patients who have a compromised immune system. I have been asked to participate because I have a cytomegalovirus ,other herpevirus infection or hepatitis B infection.

The purpose of my receiving oral FIAU is to test its safety, tolerance, and antiviral effects, so that it may be used to treat patients with serious CMV, herpes virus and hepatitis B infections.

If I agree to be in this study the following will be done:

  1. I will have a complete history, physical exam, viral cultures, and blood drawn for laboratory tests at the time of enrollment, and on at least 3 days over a period of 2 weeks.

  2. I will receive one of four possible dose regimens of oral FIAU for a total of 14 days.

  3. I will not need to be hospitalized; however, I will need to spend at least two hours at the UCSD Treatment Center during the first day in order to have bloods drawn for FIAU levels. -.

  4. I may have ophthalmologic exams done at my enrollment onto the study and at the end of the study if I have CMV.

  5. If I develop CMV; retinitis during the study, I will be allowed to continue FIAU if I desire, or withdraw from the study.

  6. I will have electrocardiograms performed at entry and days 7 and 14.

  7. If I am sexually active I will use effective contraceptive during FIAU treatment and for 30 days following treatment.

  1. If I have been taking AZT without difficulty over the past 6 weeks, then I can continue to take AZT while on the study; however, I must take 600 mg or less per day.

  2. I have not taken and I will continue not to use acyclovir, ganciclovir, foscarnet, or interferon during the study. If I have not been taking AZT previously, I understand that I cannot start AZT until after the 2 week study period.

  3. After the 2 week study period has ended, I will not continue to receive FIAU.

Participation in this study may involve some added risks or discomforts:

It is possible that FIAU may cause my white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets to decrease. This may predispose me to bleeding, anemia, and infection. Some other side effects that I may experience include nausea, vomiting, or muscle inflammation. It is also possible that confusion, jerking, and even seizures may occur while I am taking this medication, although this is unlikely on the doses I will receive.

In animal studies there was evidence of heart damage in those animals receiving very high doses of FIAC. It is not known whether FIAU may cause sterility or infertility in humans, however, this is a possibility. Since interactions between FIAU and other medications are incompletely understood at this time, I must not take other medications without first consulting with my study physician or nurse practitioner.

I realize that I may receive no benefit from participating in this study. The knowledge gained may help others in the future.

SUBJECT CONSENT

I have been asked to participate in a research study entitled ''FIALURIDINE (FIAU): Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Dosing Regimen Study in Patients With Compensated Chronic Hepatitis B'' under the supervision of Dr. David Paar and associates at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. I understand that The University of Texas Medical Branch is one of two centers in the United States where this study is being conducted.

PURPOSE OF STUDY

My doctor has explained to me that I have chronic hepatitis B. The purpose of this study is to determine whether two different doses of FIAU given at different intervals for 90 days are effective in reducing or eliminating the hepatitis B virus.

Fialuridine (LY303256, FIAU) is a new investigational anti-hepatitis B drug. My part in this study will last 17 to 29 months and will include 14 to 16 visits to my doctor. Approximately 35 other people will also be in this study. I will be followed for two years after I stop taking the medication if I benefit from the study drug or for one year after I stop taking the medication if tests do not show sufficient improvement.

QUALIFICATIONS:

I must have a pregnancy test prior to enrollment if I am a female of childbearing potential. My doctor has told me that I cannot be in this study or I may be discontinued after enrollment if I am or have any of the following:

  • Pregnant;

  • Breastfeeding an infant;

  • Concurrent viral infection(s) (AIDS/HIV, hepatitis C, hepatitis D);

  • Low blood count teats;

  • Had antiviral, immunologic, or other investigational drug therapy within the last six months;

  • Advanced cirrhosis on liver biopsy or significant liver disease other than hepatitis B;

  • Any liver function tests that do not meet entry requirements;

  • Abnormal kidney function;

  • Abused alcohol or drugs within the preceding 6 months;

  • Any significant underlying disease which, in the opinion of my doctor, could interfere with his determining the response of therapy;

STUDY PROCEDURE

I understand that while I am in this study I will not be allowed to take any immunologic therapy (e.g., corticosteroids or Imuran® (azathioprine), or other investigational drug therapy or antiviral (e.g., Intron® A (interferon-alpha-2b), acyclovir) riot used in the study. Only FIAU, a drug being investigated for treating patients with the hepatitis B virus will be given to me in this study. I will be assigned to one of six drug treatment groups. The medication is a syrup that I will take by mouth as instructed by my physician (at least one hour before eating or at least two hours after

Suggested Citation:"Appendix D: Informed Consent Documents." Institute of Medicine. 1995. Review of the Fialuridine (FIAU) Clinical Trials. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. doi: 10.17226/4887.
×

eating) for the 90 days of treatment. My doctor will tell me how much syrup I should take. I will measure each dose amount of syrup with a syringe given to me with the study medication bottle(s).

I understand that my doctor has examined me to determine that my chronic hepatitis is the type that meets the entry requirements to enroll in this study. Approximately one week before I begin treatment, I will have a liver biopsy if I have not had a liver biopsy within the past six months and adequate tissue is available for analysis. I may have to remain at the hospital for approximately one day for this procedure at no cost to myself. Also my blood will be drawn for analysis. One of the blood tests will verify that I am not infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which can cause AIDS. My doctor has explained the risks and benefits of the test for AIDS. Other blood tests will verify that I am not infected with the hepatitis C or D virus. Based on the results of my liver biopsy, I will have my study admission visit approximately seven days later. I will not eat after midnight until my admission visit the next morning. At or before the admission visit, chest x-rays, an ECG, my medical history, and current assessment of my symptoms will be obtained. In addition, if I am a female that can have children, I must have a negative pregnancy test (urine teat) before I may be enrolled in the study. Prior to receiving my first dose of study drug, my blood will again be drawn for analysis and I will provide a urine specimen. I will receive the first dose of study drug at the doctor's office, and blood will be drawn immediately before the dose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 hours after the dose. In addition, I may have additional blood drawn at 12 and 24 hours after the dose depending on the treatment group to which I am assigned. Follow-up evaluations (laboratory and/or clinical) will be performed on Days 7, 14, 21, 28, Month 2, and Month 3. On Days 7, 14, and 21 my blood will be drawn right before my morning dose. I will take this dose at the doctor's office. The night before these visits, I will not eat after midnight until my visit the next morning. In addition, on Day 21, my blood will be drawn at the same times as on Day 1.

The Day 28, Month 2 and Month 3 visits will involve a physical examination, current assessment of my symptoms, blood test and a urine test, until I finish taking my study medication. I will then have a visit to the doctor's office every 3 months. One year after I have completed study drug therapy, I will have a liver biopsy; if my lab tests show that I have not benefited from the study drug, my physician will instruct me on when my next visit will be. Blood draws for each visit will require approximately 2-4 tablespoonfuls (30-60 ml) of blood. All evaluations and laboratory tests for this study will be free of charge.

I understand that during my dosing period, I will bring my study medication bottle(s) with any remaining syrup still in them to the doctor's office and give it to the person designated by the doctor for recording and collecting or reissuing.

If I am a female of childbearing potential, I understand that I should use adequate birth control (such as oral contraceptives, diaphragms with contraceptive jelly, cervical caps with contraceptive jelly, condoms with contraceptive foam, intrauterine devices (IUDs), Norplant®, or abstinence). If I am a male, my partner and I should use similar methods of birth control.

I also understand that my physician, or Eli Lilly and Company may stop my participation in the study at any time without my agreement. The FDA may also stop the study for safety reasons at any time without my agreement If I stop being in the study, I understand that further treatment of my infection, if needed, will be discussed with me by my physician.

BENEFITS

I understand that because I have chronic hepatitis B, an infection for which the new drug is being considered as therapy, I may benefit medically from being a part of this study; however, I may receive no benefit at all. If I do not receive personal benefit, society as a whole will have benefited from my participation as the questions of whether this is a useful drug will have been answered.

REIMBURSEMENT

I understand that I will receive $15.00 per clinic visit at the time of the visit while participating in the study up to a maximum of $300.00 for completion of the study. I understand that medical evaluations, laboratory tests, and study medications required by the study protocol will be provided free of charge.

POTENTIAL RISKS OF STUDY

I understand that there may be risks for me if I agree to be in this study. FIAU is a new investigational drug for chronic hepatitis B. Fifty-four patients with chronic hepatitis B have been treated with this medication for 14 to 28 days. In addition, 100 patients have been treated for up to eight weeks with FIAC, a similar drug that is converted into FIAU in humans. Both drugs appear to have similar side effects. These side effects include anemia (abnormally low number of red blood cells in the bloodstream), changes in laboratory tests that measure liver, kidney, and muscle function, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches. These laboratory changes are expected to improve once the study drug is stopped. Changes in heart, muscle, sperm, and fetuses have been found in laboratory test animals given extremely high doses of FIAU and FIAC. Additionally, chromosomal changes have been detected in mice given high doses of FIAU. The effect of this in humans is unknown.

The major effects of liver biopsy are pain, fainting, bacteria in the blood, puncture of an internal organ (other than the liver), and bleeding. Local pain and discomfort at the liver biopsy site occurs in 1 out of 5 patients, is usually mild, and lasts 1 to 12 hours. Fainting and bacteria in the blood occur in 2% or less of the patients biopsied. Puncture of an internal organ other than the liver and internal bleeding are very rare.

In addition, I understand that blood samples will be obtained for laboratory measurement during the study. I will experience some minor discomfort when blood is being drawn from my vein. Bleeding, bruising, or infection may also occur at the needle site where blood samples are obtained. The amount of total blood withdrawn will be approximately 600 ml, or 20 ounces over the 2-year and 3-month period.

Drugs and procedures in this study may involve risks to me or an unborn child that are not yet known. I understand that I am to tell Dr. Paar at (409) 772-2222 immediately if I have any unusual health experience, injury, or bad effect.

The study medication must be taken only by me, and it should be kept out of the reach of children and other adults.

COMPENSATION FOR INJURY

I understand that if I am physically injured because of any substance given to me or procedure properly performed on me under the plan for this study, Eli Lilly and Company will reimburse me for the reasonable medical expense, a for the treatment of that injury which are not covered by my own insurance or health care program. No other compensation is available from Eli Lilly and Company if any injury occurs. I understand, however, that I am riot waiving any of my legal rights by participating in this study.

ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES

As an alternative to participation in this study, I understand that interferon is approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic HBV infection. I understand that I could choose this drug rather than participate in this research study.

Purpose of Study:

You are invited to participate in a research study of a new investigational anti-hepatitis B drug, fialuridine (LY303256, FIAU). This drug has been used to treat chronic hepatitis B in 54 patients, for up to 28 days and has been well tolerated. However, it has had limited use in humans, and limited use for prolonged periods of time. Your part in this study will last 17 to 29 months and will include 14 to 16 visits to the doctor. Approximately 35 other people will also be in this study at this site and one other.

Your doctor has explained to you that you have chronic hepatitis B. The purpose of this study is to determine whether two different doses of FIAU given at different intervals for 90 days are effective in reducing or eliminating the hepatitis B virus. You will be followed for two years after you stop taking the medication if you benefit from the study drug or for 1 year after you stop taking the medication if tests do not show sufficient improvement.

FIAU is an oral (syrup) medication which is an antiviral medication acting to interrupt the virus's ability to reproduce itself. During this study you will not be allowed to take any immunologic therapy (e.g. corticosteroids or ImuranR (azathioprine)), other investigational drug therapy or antiviral (e.g. IntronR A (interferon alfa-25), acyclovir) not used in the study. Only FIAU, a drug being investigated For treating patients with hepatitis B virus will be given to you in this study.

Two different total daily doses of FIAU will be studied. (1) 0.1mg/Kg body weight daily and 2) 0.25 mg/Kg bony weight daily. In each of these two dose groups, there will be 3 subgroups - A) Patients who take all the daily dose ONCE A DAY; B) Patients who divide the total daily dose, taking it TWICE A DAY, and C) Patients who divide the total daily dose, taking it THREE TIMES. A DAY. Thus there are S possible dose/time schedules. You will be assigned randomly (that is by chance) to one of these 6 treatment groups. You will be instructed in how and when to take your specific dose. It should be taken on an empty stomach, at least one hour before eating, or at least 2 hours after eating.

Procedures to be Followed

You have previously been evaluated, and the results of your examination and laboratory values indicate that you have chronic hepatitis B, and you do meet all the entry requirements required to enroll in this study.

Approximately one week before beginning treatment, you will have a liven biopsy if you have not had a liver biopsy, that we can use, within the past year. A liver biopsy means that the skin on your right side will be numbed and a needle will be inserted to remove a small piece of liven tissue. You will be instructed in breathing techniques to make the procedure easier and safer. After the biopsy you will lie on your right side for several hours You will have to remain at the hospital for approximately one day for this procedure. Also your blood will be drawn for analysis. One of the blood tests will verify that you are not infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which can cause AIDS. A separate consent form will be signed permitting us to test you for HIV. Your doctor has explained the risks and benefits of the test for AIDS. other blood tests will verify that you are not infected with hepatitis C or D virus. Based on the results of your liver biopsy, you will be enrolled in the study at a visit approximately seven days later. You will not eat after dinner on the day before your admission visit and will not have breakfast until after you are seen the next morning. At the admission visit, chest x-rays, a EKG, your medical history, and current assessment of your symptoms will be obtained. In addition, if you are a female capable of having children, you must have a negative pregnancy test (urine test) before you may be enrolled in the study. Prior to receiving your first dose of study drug, your blood will be drawn for analysis and you will provide a urine specimen. You will receive the first dose of study drug at the hospital and blood will be drawn immediately before the dose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 hours after the dose. In addition, you may have additional blood drawn at 12 and 24 hours after the dose depending on the treatment group to which you are assigned. Follow-up evaluations (laboratory and/or clinical) will occur on Day 7, 14 and 21 of your treatment period. On Day 7 and Day 14, your blood will be drawn right before your morning dose. The night before these visits, you will not eat after dinner until your visit the next morning.

At your Day 21 visit, you will take your morning dose of study drug at the hospital and your blood will be drawn immediately before the dose and after the dose at the same intervals as your first visit. After you have taken one month of study drug therapy, you will begin monthly visits to the hospital. You will continue the monthly visits, which will involve a physical examination, current assessment of your symptoms, blood tests and a urine test, until you finish taking your study medication. You will then have a visit to the hospital every a months.

One year after you have completed study drug therapy, you will have a liver biopsy, if your lab tests show that you have benefitted from the drug and you will continue to see the physician every six months for one more year. If your lab tests show that you have not benefitted from the study drug, your physician will instruct you on when your next visit, will be. Blood draws for each visit will require approximately 2-4 tablespoonsful (30-60 ml) of blood. All evaluations and laboratory tests for this study will be free of charge.

FIAU/HEPATITIS B

Marshall M. Kaplan, MD

During your dosing period, the first 3 months in the study, you will bring your study medication bottle)s) with any remaining syrup still in them to the hospital and give it to the person designated by the doctor for recording and collecting or reissuing drug. You rill be given a flow sheet of your specific appointments, dates and instructions.

Risks and Possible Side Effects

There may be risks for you if you agree to be in this study. FIAT is a new investigational drug taken for 14 to 28 days by 54 patients with chronic hepatitis B. An additional 100 patients have been treated for up to 8 weeks with a similar drug, FIAC that is turned into FIAU in humans. Both drugs appear to have similar side effects, These side effects are primarily nausea and fatigue but may include stomach pain, vomiting, headache, and muscle aches. Changes in laboratory tests that measure liver, kidney, and muscle function, and anemia have also occurred. These laboratory changes are expected to improve, once the study drug is stopped. In laboratory test animals given extremely high doses (much higher than in this-study), changes in heart muscle with nonreversible toxicity, skeletal muscle, the formation and production of sperm, fetal development and kidney toxicity have been found. Additionally, chromosomal changes have been detected in mice given high, doses of FIAU. The effect of this in humans is unknown. Because this drug may penetrate the skin and become incorporated into your genetics material, you should use caution in handling the medication and wash thoroughly with soap and water should it come in contact with your skin.

The major effects of liver biopsy are pain, fainting, bacteria in the blood, puncture of an internal organ (other than the liver), and bleeding. Local pain and discomfort at the liver biopsy site occurs in 1 out of 5 patients, is usually mild, and lasts 1 to 12 hours. Fainting and bacteria in the blood occur in 2% or less of the patients biopsied, Puncture and bleeding are very rare.

In the event that your blood tests suggest damage to muscle, you may be asked to have a thigh muscle biopsy. This will be done under local anesthesia at no expense to you. This procedure may cause temporary discomfort at the biopsy site.

Some minor discomfort is caused when blood is drawn from my vein. Bleeding, bruising or infection may also occur at the site where blood samples are obtained.

In addition to these effects, other unpredictable bad effects due to the study drug or test procedures may occur.

If you should have an adverse effect any time during the study, you should tell your doctor immediately. Any new significant information developed during the course of this research which may change your wish to continue in this study will be provided to you and to the doctor.

Marshall M. Kaplan, MD

For Men and Women of Childbearing Potential:

The medication used in this research study may involve risks to you or to an embryo or fetus if you are pregnant at any time during the study. If you are pregnant or should you intend to become pregnant, you should not be enrolled in this study. Males should also not father a child while in this study. If you choose to participate, you must use adequate birth control to prevent pregnancy during this study, while you are on study medication and for 3 months after the study medication has stopped (up to a total of S months). Adequate methods of contraception include birth control pills, diaphragms, or cervical caps, used with contraceptive jelly, condoms with contraceptive foam, IUD's (intrauterine devices), NorplantR, or abstinence. Should you become pregnant at any time during this time frame, you must immediately notify your physician, and your participation in the study will be terminated. A pregnancy test will be performed prior to your enrollment in the study.

Benefits

It is not known whether you will benefit from this study or not.

Because you have chronic hepatitis B, an infection for which the new drug. is being considered as therapy, you may medically benefit by the partial or complete healing of your infection. The study may also be of benefit to other patients with this type of infection in the future.

Other Treatment

As an alternative to participation in this study, you may be treats with interferon. You understand that you could choose this drug rather than participate in this research study. Therapy for chronic hepatitis B is limited. Only interferon-alpha-2b (Intron-A) is approved in the United States for the treatment of hepatitis B. You understand that you could choose this therapy rather than participate in this research study.

Costs

While you are enrolled in the study, during the medication phase (90 days) and the follow up period (up to 2 years after medication) and during the one week pretreatment phase, all laboratory tests, hospital, outpatient clinic and physician charges will be provided to you at no cost. In addition all study medication will be provided to you at no cost to you or your insurance carrier.

CONFIDENTIAL

Fialuridine (LY303256): Bioequivalence of Syrup and Tablet Formulations, and Influence of Timing of Meals on Pharmacokinetic Variables

Informed Consent Document
INTRODUCTION

You are invited to take part in a research study of an investigational drug for the treatment of hepatitis B (viral liver infection) known as fialuridine (FIAU, LY303256). We plan to study up to 22 volunteers. Your participation in this study is expected to last up to 4 weeks.

PURPOSE

The purposes of this study are to determine how your body handles a syrup form and two tablet forms of FIAU, and to determine the influence of food on how your body handles FIAU.

PROCEDURES

Before entering the study you were interviewed by a physician who asked about your medical history and completed a general physical examination. In addition, you have had blood and urine tests done, a heart tracing performed, and may have had a chest x-ray performed if you had not had one within the last six months. Based upon these tests you are being invited to participate in this study.

Your participation in this study will require that you be admitted to the Lilly Clinic. You will receive five single doses of FIAU on five separate dosing days, with each dose being given at approximately 8 AM. Each dose of FIAU will be separated by 3 to 7 days without dosing. Each dose will be 5 mg of FIAU, either as a single 5 mg tablet, as five 1 mg tablets, or as I teaspoonful of syrup. On three of the dosing days you will receive one of these dose forms following an overnight fast and will continue to fast for 4 hours after receiving the dose. The total fasting time is up to fifteen hours. On one dosing day you will receive the 5 mg tablet following an overnight fast and immediately before a

standard breakfast, and on one dosing day you will receive the 5 mg tablet following an overnight fast and at some time between 1 hour before and 2 hours after a standard breakfast.

You will not smoke, or drink caffeine-containing beverages during the study. You will not take any medications (except for an occasional pain medicine) during the study period.

Prior to the start of dosing a blood sample will be obtained. On each dosing day approximately 12 blood specimens will be drawn. A blood specimen for safety analysis will be obtained the day after each dose of FIAU. The total volume of blood collected from you during the study will be about 517 ml, which is about one pint.

RISKS

You understand that there may be risks for your being in this study.

FIAU is a new investigational drug taken for 14 to 28 days by 54 patients with chronic hepatitis B. An additional 100 patients have been treated for up to 8 weeks with a similar drug, FIAC, that is turned into FIAU in humans. Both drugs appear to have similar side effects. These side effects include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, and muscle aches or fatigue. Changes in laboratory test values that measure liver, kidney, and muscle function, and anemia (low blood count) have also occurred. These laboratory changes are expected to improve, once the study drug is stopped. In addition, laboratory test animals given extremely high doses of FIAU by mouth (3,500 times more than the dose planned for this study, adjusted for different animal weights) have shown decreased sperm production, and animals given extremely high doses directly into their veins (7,000 to 14,000 times more than the dose planned for this study, adjusted for different animal weights) have shown heart muscle damage.

Needle punctures for blood draws are usually well-tolerated by most people. However, they may cause bleeding, bruising, discomfort, infections and/or pain at the needle site and dizziness.

In addition to these effects, fialuridine (FIAU, LY303256), or the procedures in this study, may have other unknown effects. In case you have any bad effects, make sure that you immediately tell the nurses or Dr. Hyslop at the Lilly Clinic at 276-4757.

You should not participate in this study if you have:

  • Concurrent viral infection(s) (AIDS/HIV, hepatitis C, hepatitis D).

  • Low blood count tests.

  • Received medical therapy for viral infections such as AIDS or hepatitis, including therapy with drugs under investigation as treatment for these infections, within the last six months. Such treatment could include drugs such as zidovudine, didanosine, zalcitabine, and interferon.

  • Advanced cirrhosis on liver biopsy or significant liver disease.

  • Abused alcohol or drugs within the preceding 6 months.

VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION

Your taking part in this study is entirely voluntary. You may refuse to take part in the study or you may quit the study at any time without a penalty or loss of benefits to which you were entitled before taking part in the study. If you decide to stop being part of this study, Dr. Hyslop will talk to you about the process for stopping and the medical consequences of your making this choice. Dr. Hyslop or Eli Lilly and Company (the sponsor of this study) may stop this study, or your being a part of it at any time without your consent.

TREATMENT AND COMPENSATION FOR INJURY

If you follow the directions of the doctor in charge of this study and you are physically injured due to any substance or procedure given during your participation in this study, Eli Lilly and Company will decide either to provide treatment for the injury, or to pay for

In June 1993 a clinical trial of fialuridine (FIAU), a promising new medication for hepatitis B, was abruptly terminated when one of the 15 out-patients participating in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) study was suddenly hospitalized with liver failure. Although all the remaining patients were contacted and told to stop taking their medication, six more subsequently developed severe toxicity. Five patients died, and two others were probably saved from death only by having liver transplants.

In response to a request from the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, the IOM committee has analyzed the FIAU clinical trials, making recommendations for additional safeguards for the conduct of future clinical trials. This evaluation included the review of documents pertaining to investigational new drug submissions, protocols and consent forms from other clinical trials, as well as information available from other clinical and preclinical experience with compounds related to FIAU and its parent drug, fiacitibine (FIAC), which is metabolized to FIAU. The committee does not seek to affix responsibility for the adverse outcome of this NIH trial, but instead focuses on whether any rules or procedures governing the clinical trials process itself need to be changed, and if so, what burdens or costs such changes might place on future clinical trials.
