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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the safety and antiepileptic activity of long-term treatment with ganaxolone in subjects with Infantile spasms (IS) who have completed the double blind controlled trial (Protocol 1042-0500).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with GCP as described in the US CFR, the International Conference on Harmonization, and the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. At the first visit, prior to initiation of any study-related procedures, the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of the subjects gave their written consent to participate in the study after having been infonned about the nature and purpose of the study, participation and termination conditions, and risks and benefits.

    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 primary efficacy analysis of the proportion of subjects who were free of spasms at Week 96 could not be performed because no subjects completed to Week 96.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 Feb 2007
    To clarify the need for vEEG to ascertain an infantile spasm diagnosis and to make administrative changes.
    17 Apr 2007
    To add information about the use of rescue benzodiazepines (up to 2 doses in any 7-day period) and to state that 24-hour vEEG was to be performed without benzodiazepines and at least 24 hours after the last benzodiazepine administration.
    31 Aug 2007
    To adjust the planned number of sites and subjects based on enrollment in Protocol 1042-0500, to adjust the schedule of events to give investigators the option of de-escalating ganaxolone over 4 weeks rather than 2 weeks, to clarify the position on the use of benzodiazepines as rescue medication, and to add PK analyses.
    27 Sep 2007
    To increase the duration of treatment from 9 months to 1 year (and therefore add 2 visits to the study schedule) and to clarify that 24-hour vEEG to confirm freedom from spasms was only to be performed if the subject has been free of spasms for 24 hours.
    18 Jan 2008
    To extend the study duration from up to 1 year to 72 weeks (plus a 2- to 4-week taper period), to add 2 more visits to the study schedule to accommodate the increased duration, to change the length of spasm-free time required for a 24-hour vEEG to be performed (from 24 hours to 14 days), and to remove the final vEEG to confirm freedom from spasms if a subject discontinued early due to lack of efficacy.
    16 May 2008
    To extend the study duration from 72 weeks to 96 weeks (plus a 2- to 4-week taper period), to add an additional study visit to accommodate the increased duration, to delete cessation of hypsarrythmia as a secondary endpoint, to update the definition of responder, to delete analysis based on seizure type, and to specify that efficacy analysis at Visit 6 (Week 26) can determine whether there is a clinically significant response to ganaxolone to justify prolonged chronic treatment.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to the early closure of the study by the sponsor, the primary efficacy analysis could not be performed.
