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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 ).

    		 Change From Baseline in CNS Vital Signs Cognitive Test Battery: Neurocognitive Index
    End point description
    A computerized subject-administered test battery with subtests for verbal and visual memory, processing speed, nonverbal reasoning, executive functioning, working memory, and sustained attention. A computerized 7-point sedation item (0 [not sleepy] to 10 [very sleepy]) was completed prior to test battery. The Neurocognitive index score was derived from subtest scores per an algorithm. The index score and subtest scores assessed the subject’s changes in cognition. Scores were rated as above average (score >109), average (90 to 109), below average (80 to 89), or well below average (70 to 79). ITT; (n)= number of subjects with analyzable data at post-baseline observation for ziprasidone and placebo, respectively. ET includes observations from visits not within windowing criteria. LOCF imputation used for Week 6 LOCF timepoint (last post-baseline non-missing visit).

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Treatment emergent adverse events are reported from time of first dose of study treatment up to 6 days after last dose of study treatment.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Safety population = all randomized subjects with at least 1 dose of study treatment. An Adverse Event (AE) term may be reported as both a serious and non-serious AE, but are distinct events. AE may = serious for 1 subject and = non-serious for another subject or subject may have experienced both a serious and non-serious episode of the same event.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    06 Dec 2006
    1. A physical exam including body temperature was completed at week 6 or end of treatment. 2. Extensive electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring was performed throughout the study, including triplicate ECGs at baseline and excluding Week 4. 3. Subjects who could not tolerate a dose of 120 mg/day were allowed to have a dose reduction and to continue study treatment at 100 mg/day or as low as 80 mg/day. Subjects weighing <45 kilograms (kg) were to be allowed a minimum dose of 40 mg/day. Subjects who could not tolerate the dose range of 80 to 160 mg/day for children above 45 kg or 40-80 mg/day for children <45 kg, discontinue and might be eligible to enter the extension trial. 4. ECGs showing a Fridericia corrected QT (QTcF) of >=460 milliseconds (msec) or a suspected increase from baseline of 60 msec or greater was to be repeated within the same visit. If the QTcF value persisted at >=460 msec and/or the change from baseline persisted at >=60 msec, the study drug was to be discontinued immediately and a pediatric cardiologist or a pediatric intensive care specialist should be contacted to discuss the ECG result. 5. Exposure In Utero definition was amended to include paternal exposure. 6. It was recommended that subjects should complete the CNS Vital Signs battery before any intrusive assessments such as blood draws, if at all possible. 7. Possibly Suicide-Related Adverse Events (PSRAEs) were included in adverse event reporting.
    09 Nov 2007
    1. Subjects who could not tolerate a dose of 120 mg/day were allowed to have a reduction and to continue study treatment at 100 mg/day or as low as 80 mg/day. Subjects weighing <45 kg were to be allowed a minimum dose of 40 mg/day. Subjects who could not tolerate the dose range of 80 to 160 mg/day for children above 45 kg or 40-80 mg/day for children <45 kg, should discontinue and might be eligible to enter the extension trial. This statement was added in section summary, Trial Design, Trial Treatments. 2. Concominant medication section amended to include lorazepam(up to 2 mg/day) or (if lorazepam is not available in the country diazepam up to 5 mg/day) for anxiety or agitation. 3. Protocol amended to provide subject status information on supplemental analysis addressing “pre-pause” and "post-pause” study enrollment, general clarifications and consistencies, and redesign of the study drug blister card to decrease the chance for dosing errors (usually overdosing beyond protocol specified dose). Subjects enrolled prior to the pause used the original blister card packaging, while subjects entering after the pause, used the improved blister card packaging. A sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the effect, if any, of this change.
    24 Jan 2008
    1. The scheduling of post-dose sampling paired to ECG measurement was changed from within 10 minutes of ECG to immediately after ECG.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    09 Nov 2007
    During the conduct of the trial, the study was “paused” to improve the blister card packaging. The original card provided for mulitiple dose levels. The replacement card provided a single dose level for each specific card, while still preserving the flexible dosing capability. The blister card design was changed after approximately 1/3 of the subjects had enrolled. The study was interrupted (paused) for approximately 4 months pending re-packaging of the drug.

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The AE tables were amended to incorporate previously unreported AEs that were found during an independent audit and verified by the investigators.
