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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 was to evaluate the long-term safety of eculizumab in patients with haemolytic PNH, who had completed the eculizumab TRIUMPH (C04-001), SHEPHERD (C04-002) or X03-001 studies. The TRIUMPH study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which haemolytic, transfusion-dependent patients received eculizumab (N=43) or placebo (N=44) administered by intravenous (IV) infusion for 26 weeks. The SHEPHERD study was an open-label study in which patients (N=97) received eculizumab treatment for 52 weeks. The X03-001 study was an open-label extension study of eculizumab in which patients with transfusion dependent, haemolytic, PNH continued to receive treatment for an additional 104 weeks.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients must have been vaccinated for Neisseria meningitidis 14 days before the first investigational product infusion in the parent studies (C04-001 [TRIUMPH], C04-002 [SHEPHERD], or X03-001 studies).
    Background therapy
    No background therapy was used.
    Evidence for comparator
    This was an open-label extension study, opened to patients who had completed the eculizumab TRIUMPH (C04-001), SHEPHERD (C04-002) or X03-001 studies, and had consented to participate. Patients who had completed the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled TRIUMPH study were required to enroll in a 4-week blind induction period to preserve the blinded treatment before inclusion in the open-label treatment period ofstudy E05-001.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 46 clinical sites in the United States, Canada, Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom participated in this study. Patients must have had fully completed the TRIUMPH (C04-001), SHEPHERD (C04-002), or X03-001 studies to enter this extension study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 187/195 patients from the 3 previous PNH studies of eculizumab elected to continue treatment in the E05-001 extension study (85 [41 eculizumab-treated patients and 44 placebo-treated patients]), 92, and 10 patients from the TRIUMPH, SHEPHERD, and X03-001 studies, respectively).

    Blinding implementation details
    This study was not blinded. Of note, patients who completed the TRIUMPH study, a 4-week blind induction period was applied to preserve the blinded treatment before inclusion in study E05-001. Patients who completed the SHEPHERD or X03-001 studies entered directly into this open-label treatment extension study because there was no blind to be maintained.
