Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the efficacy of NewGam in correcting the platelet count.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was conducted in accordance to the principles of GCP, ensuring that the rights, safety and well-being of patients are protected and in consistency with the the Declaration of Helsinki. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were carefully defined in order to protect subjects from contraindications, interactions with other medication and safety factors associated with the investigational medicinal product. Throughout the study safety was assessed, such as occurrence of AEs, labvalues, vital signs and physical examinations.

    End point title
    Response Rate [1]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint of this study was the response rate, i.e., the proportion of patients with an elevation of platelet count to greater equal 50x10^9/L within 7 days of the first infusion, i.e., by study Day 8 (at least once prior to Day 9). The evaluation of the primary objective was performed for the FA set (ITT analysis) and for the PP1 set (PP analysis).
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Baseline, Day 2 to Day 8.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The analysis of the primary objective aimed at demonstrating that the response rate after administration of NewGam (p), defined as the proportion of patients with an elevation of platelet count to gretater equal 50x10^9/L within 7 days after the first infusion, was above a pre-defined value of 0.60. This threshold was obtained from a historical control value of p0=0.75 and a region of indifference ofδ=0.15. The hypothesis (H0: p ≤ p0−δ) was tested at a 1-sided significance level of α =0.025.

    Amendment
    22 Nov 2011
    Amendment #2: The inclusion criterion for age was narrowed to at least 18 years and no older than 65 years old (was 80 years) Two new exclusion criteria added: • Patients with BMI greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2 • Patients with risk factors for TEE in which the risks outweigh the potential benefit of NewGam treatment Medically measureable parameters leading to an early termination of individual patients were implemented. The concomitant medications and AEs were to be monitored until Day 63 instead of until Day 22.
    14 Jun 2012
    Amendment #3: • The exclusion criterion regarding prior rituximab therapy was extended to 4 months from 3 months. • A second confirmatory assessment was included.

    Restart date
    29 Apr 2013
    Following discussions with the FDA,the sponsor was informed that if the submitted data provided evidence of both safety and efficacy, the FDA would review the data with 36 patients in the FA Set. Therefore, the sponsor decided to terminate the study and not enrol any further patients, and proceed with a single, final analysis using the data from the 40 enrolled patients.
