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   44068   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7320   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of romiplostim as a long-term treatment in pediatric thrombocytopenic subjects with ITP.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations/guidelines, United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) GCP regulations/guidelines, and the GCP regulations/guidelines to all regions where the study was conducted. The investigator submitted the protocol, informed consent form, investigators brochure, and any other relevant supporting information to the appropriate IEC or IRB for review and approval before study initiation. Amendments to the protocol were approved by the IEC/IRB and the local regulatory agencies, as appropriate, before the implementation of changes to the study. The investigator or his/her designee informed the subject of all aspects pertaining to the subject’s participation in the study before any screening procedures or investigational drug was administered.

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events [1]
    End point description
    The adverse event severity grading scale used was the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 grading scale. A serious adverse event was defined as an adverse event that met at least one of the following serious criteria: • fatal • life threatening (places the subject at immediate risk of death) • required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • congenital anomaly/birth defect • other medically important serious event. The investigator assessed whether each adverse event was possibly related to the investigational product.

    Number of Participants who Developed Antibodies to Romiplostim [5]
    End point description
    Two validated assays were used to test for antibodies to romiplostim / the thrombopoietin-mimetic peptide component of romiplostim (TMP). The first was an immunoassay to confirm the presence of antibodies. The second was a cell-based bioassay to detect neutralizing or inhibitory effects in vitro. If a sample was positive in both assays, a participant was defined as positive for neutralizing antibodies. Transient antibodies are those positive post-baseline but negative at the last time point tested. Persistent antibodies were those positive at the last time point tested.

    20 Mar 2012
    • The pharmacy guide in Appendix E was removed and replaced with the Investigational Product Information Manual to accommodate study center-specific drug distribution options and to ensure that the most current investigational product details were accurately communicated. • The serious adverse event guidance was updated to reflect a 24-hour rather than 1 work day timeline for reporting serious adverse events.
    25 Sep 2012
    • Study contacts and other minor updates were made. • The definition of the study duration for subjects was updated. • The serious adverse event reporting language was updated per current Amgen safety guidelines. • The adverse event reporting language and grading criteria (National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] version 3.0) were changed for consistency within the romiplostim pediatric program.
