A clinical trial showed that the median time to disease progression was significantly delayed in the ACTIMMUNE plus calcitriol arm vs calcitriol alone.*
In an analysis that combined data from a second study, 19 out of 24 (79%) patients on ACTIMMUNE (± calcitriol) for at least 6 months exhibited reduced trabecular bone volume compared to baseline.1
Trial design: A controlled, randomized study in patients with SMO was conducted with ACTIMMUNE administered subcutaneously 3 times weekly. Sixteen patients were randomized to receive ACTIMMUNE plus calcitriol (n = 11) or calcitriol alone (n = 5). Patients ranged in age from 1 month to 8 years, with the mean being 1.5 years.1
*Disease progression is defined by death, significant reduction in hemoglobin or platelet counts, serious bacterial infection requiring antibiotics, 50 dB decrease in hearing, or progressive optic atrophy.1
