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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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
    To evaluate the safety of every other week dosing of velaglucerase alfa (GA-GCB) in subjects with type 1 Gaucher disease who were previously treated with imiglucerase.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki. It was also conducted in accordance with local country regulations and International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) E6 guidelines.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The first subject was enrolled on 25 July 2007 and the last subject completed on 26 June 2009. Subjects received the same dose of velaglucerase alfa (GA-GCB) as their previous dose of imiglucerase (range-</= 60 Unit per kilogram (U/kg) - >/=15 U/kg) every other week via intravenous infusion.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects at least 2 years old with documented diagnosis of type 1 Gaucher disease. Consistent treatment (every other week at a dose <=/= 60 U/kg and >=/= 15 U/kg) with imiglucerase for at least 30 consecutive months; same dose during the 6 months prior to study enrollment. Minor dosing interval variance was allowed per standard clinical practice.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: All enrolled (N=41) subjects were not treated with study drug. Since baseline period included only treated (N=40) subjects, the worldwide number enrolled in the trial differs with the number of subjects reported in the baseline period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 Oct 2007
    •Inclusion Criterion changed, requiring male subjects to use a medically acceptable method of birth control throughout their participation in the study and to report any pregnancy of a partner. •Exclusion Criterion was rewritten to clarify that exclusion required both a hemoglobin of less than equal to (<=) 10 g/dL and a platelet count of <=80 x 103 platelets/cubic millimetre(mm3). •Anaphylactoid reaction during treatment with imiglucerase in addition to anaphylactic reaction as a reason for exclusion from the study. •Expanded exclusion of erythropoietin to exclusion of any red cell growth factor and allowed the use of inhaled corticosteroid therapy. •Provided clarification that a spleen infarction was required to be active and clinically significant, experienced within 12 months of screening, and radiologically confirmed to be a reason for exclusion from the study and splenectomized subjects were not to be excluded. •Provided clarification that bone necrosis was to be worsening bone necrosis within 12 months of screening; inactive or stable bone necrosis was not intended to be an exclusion. •Pregnant or lactating subjects were excluded. •The following assessments were added to screening procedures: chitotriosidase genotyping, vital signs, and serum B12 and folic acid concentrations. •After each of the first 3 infusions, a safety telephone call from the Investigator to the subject 1 day after infusion was added to the protocol. •Infusion time was changed from the same infusion time as the previous imiglucerase dose to a 1-hour infusion. Longer infusion times were to be documented. •Transition to home therapy no longer required approval by the Shire HGT Medical Monitor but was left to the discretion and direction of the Investigator. •Reticulocyte count was to be performed at the site’s local laboratory rather than a central laborator due to stability issues. •Imaging of the femoral neck was added to the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) assessment.
