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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    Pharmacokinetics (PK) evaluation in vivo incremental recovery; area under the curve (AUC);area under the moment curve (AUMC); plasma half-life (tœ),determination of the time necessary to reach the peak plasma concentration (Tmax),clearance (CL), mean permanence time (MRT),distribution volume at steady state (Vdss),peak plasma concentration (Cmax) Efficacy and Safety evaluation Efficacy: 1) Evaluation of the haemostatic efficacy of Kedrion human plasma-derived double virus inactivated and nanofiltered factor IX (henceforth: Investigational Medicinal Product- IMP) in the management of acute bleeding events. Safety: 1) Assessment of the risk of inhibitor (neutralizing anti factor IX antibodies) development in conjunction with infusion of the IMP throughout the study period 2) Assessment of thrombogenicity of the IMP 3) Assessment of the short and medium term safety of the IMP, when administered to severe/moderately severe Previously Treated Patients
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects may withdraw their consent for participation in the study at any time without prejudice. Additionally, the Investigator may withdraw a subject if, in his/her clinical judgment, it is in the best interest of the subject or if the subject cannot comply with the protocol. Wherever possible, the tests and evaluations listed for the termination visit should be carried out. The sponsor should be notified of all study withdrawals within 24 hours.

    Dosage and administration details
    Pharmacokinetic: 50 + 5 IU/Kg BW Prophylactic regimen: The frequency of FIX was twice/week. The IMP was administered iv at a maximum infusion rate of 10 ml/min. The dose administered was 30-40 IU/kg BW with the exact dose determined by the Investigator and rounded up to the nearest whole vial. Once the prophylactic dose and regimen have been established, every effort had to be made to maintain that regimen throughout the study period. Changes in the dosing regimen might have been made at the Investigator’s discretion. On-Demand regimen In the event that the subject experienced a bleed that requires infusion of FIX, the subjects had to be treated exclusively with the IMP, administered iv at a maximum infusion rate of 10 mL/min. The dose and time intervals between doses used to treat the bleed will be at the discretion of the Investigator. The required initial dosage may eventually be determined using the following formula: BW (kg) x desired Factor IX increase% x 1.2

    [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: Pharmacokinetic Analyses: PK parameters were evaluated using a non-compartmental model. Different types of paramenters were estimated: Slope, Rate constant, Elinination rate constant, α and β half life, Cmax, Tmax, AUC, AUMC and MRT, Vdss, Vd, Cl Each parameter was summarized by mean and SD of the mean. The differences of means (baseline vs 6 months) will be evaluated using paired T test. All PK concentrations were summarized by means of summary statistics for each timepoint

    Amendment
    23 Dec 2009
    Amendment 1 main changes: 1. Monitoring and Quality activities were outsourced to the CRO Sintesi Research S.r.l. 2. Number of patients updated from “not less than 20” to “at least 20” according to CPMP/BPWG/198/95 rev. 1 Guideline 3. Exclusion of adolescent patients from 12 to 18 years, and consequently deletion of the inclusion criteria “weight>35 Kg” 4. PK evaluations: wash-out period changed from “4-7 days” to “at least 4 (7 if possible)”, according to the reference Guideline. 5. Safety: Inhibitors evaluations: IgE, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 ed IgG4 dosage against FIX was added in case of patients who develop anaphylaxis and/or inhibitors according to CPMP/BPWG/198/95 rev. 1 “Note for Guidance on the Clinical Investigation of Human Plasma Derived Factor VIII and IX Products”

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    06 Jan 2016
    Serious delays on the enrollment timelines in all the countries involved in the trial (Italy, Turkey and Romania), have had a negative impact on the IMP stocks dedicated to the study, and in some cases the IMP expired before its use. In order to guarantee the IMP delivery, the available IMP at that time was used to treat patients already enrolled, waiting for a new production of the product. After that the study was temporarily suspended waiting for the availability of new IMP. Unfortunately no new production of nanofiltered FIX was done and the final decision was to close definitely the study, with only 16 enrolled patients (Protocol required 20 patients)
