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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Of a total of 29 initiated trial sites, 23 sites enrolled and dosed at least one patient. The country distribution was (number of actively recruiting sites per country in parenthesis): Austria (1), Canada (1), Finland (1), France (1), Germany (3), Israel (2), Italy (1), Spain (1), Switzerland (1), UK (3) and United States of America (8).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    After screening, eligible subjects entered a 4-week run-in period followed by a 52-week recombinant factor XIII (rFXIII) treatment period. Subjects who before entering the trial were receiving regular replacement therapy with a FXIII-containing product were to receive their last standard replacement dose just before the screening visit.

    Arm description
    Subjects received 35 IU/kg rFXIII every 4th week (28±2 days) during a treatment period of 52 weeks. In case of acute bleeding episodes, any additional treatment as per investigator judgment was to be according to local standard practice. Additional doses of rFXIII could therefore not be used to treat such breakthrough bleedings.

    End point title
    Rate (Number Per Subject Year) of Bleeding Episodes Requiring Treatment With a FXIII Containing Product During the Treatment Period [1]
    End point description
    The rate (Number Per Subject Year) of bleeding episodes represents the incidence of bleeding episodes requiring treatment with a FXIII-containing product.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    For a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).
    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 low bleeding incidence and frequency for patients currently on regular replacement therapy (on average approximately 0.3 bleeds/year) and the low number of patients diagnosed with congenital FXIII deficiency (400-700 patients worldwide) did not allow a statistical comparison of clinical outcome parameters (bleeding events) between rFXIII and any other type of regular replacement therapy with sufficient statistical power.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    27 Jun 2008
    The FXIII genotyping will not be made again for those patients if it can be confirmed that the they have Congenital A-subunit deficiency and provided that the results can be made available to NN at screening or prior to administration of trial product. The text in the protocol and Subject Information / Informed Consent were updated accordingly. Regarding the participating countries the protocol will be updated according to the result for the country feasibility. The safety information in the protocol and SI/IC has been updated to include data from recently finalised trial F13CARD-1660. The remaining changes are editorial.
    12 Dec 2008
    A few subject selection criteria were slightly reworded or modified as described in Section 9.3. Furthermore, lack of efficacy of rFXIII (as judged by the investigator) was added as a withdrawal criterion. A sensitivity analysis for the primary endpoint excluding centres that contributed with more than 20% of the total number of subjects was specified.
    27 Jan 2009
    No major changes were implemented with this amendment, which specifies precautionary measures related to pregnancy.
    10 Jun 2009
    It was specified that if the Novo Nordisk Safety Committee decided to stop treatment of a subject with rFXIII for safety reasons, the subject could continue in the trial for continued blood and urine sampling for safety evaluation. In addition to recording of bleeding episode and adverse event details, sampling for haematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, FXIII laboratory parameters, immunology, coagulation parameters and clot solubility testing was to be performed prior to administration of standard replacement therapy.
    25 Nov 2009
    The subject information/informed consent form was slightly modified due to the fact that two additional subjects had developed non-neutralising antibodies after initiation of treatment with rFXIII.
    02 Dec 2009
    This amendment enabled further characterisation of anti-FXIII antibodies. Samples from any subjects in whom anti-FXIII antibodies had been observed following dosing with rFXIII were to be further characterised in order to determine the immunoglobulin isotype of the detected anti-rFXIII antibodies. Additionally, cross-reactivity of subject antibody to plasma-derived FXIII was to be assessed. These analyses were exploratory and were to be presented separately.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
