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
    To assess the efficacy, tolerability, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of IgPro20 in subjects with primary immunodeficiency (PID). As the primary objective, the IgPro20 dose should result in sustained immunoglobulin G (IgG) trough levels (Ctrough) comparable to the previous IgG treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines, and standard operating procedures for clinical research and development at CSL Behring and the Clinical Research Organisations (CROs) involved. Compliance with these requirements also constitutes conformity with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (version of 1996). The study was conducted under a protocol reviewed and approved by an IEC/IRB; the study was conducted by scientifically and medically qualified persons; the benefits of the study were in proportion to the risks; the rights and welfare of the subjects were respected; the physicians conducting the study did not find the hazards to outweigh the potential benefits; the results reported are accurate; and each subject or subject’s parent or legal guardian gave his or her written informed consent before any protocol driven tests or evaluations were performed.

    Total Serum IgG Trough Levels [1]
    End point description
    Total IgG trough levels for IgPro20 treatment at steady state were compared with documented trough level data for IgG treatment received prior to enrolling in the study (pre-study data are from enrolled subjects with at least 3 documented IgG trough values ≥ 5 g/L during up to 6 months of intravenous (IGIV) or subcutaneous (IGSC) replacement therapy prior to receiving IgPro20 study treatment). For this purpose, 6 consecutive IgPro20 trough values (obtained prior to infusions 12 to 17) per subject were aggregated to the subject’s median value and then median values across subjects were summarised using descriptive statistics. The same procedure was applied to pre-study treatment using the 3 most recent IgG trough values ≥ 5 g/L obtained prior to the first IgPro20 infusion. The intention-to-treat (ITT) population included all subjects treated with IgPro20 during the efficacy period (starting with Week 12); pre-study treatment IgG trough levels were not available for 2 subjects.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    11 May 2007
    A lower limit haemoglobin value of 10 g/dL was defined; subjects with haemoglobin values < 10 g/dL throughout the study were to be discontinued. The secondary objective of changes in viral safety markers was deleted because viral safety markers were only measured at screening. The inclusion criteria were changed to allow subjects with a diagnosis of ARAG to enter the study and minor changes to the schedule of assessments were incorporated. Furthermore, an additional HRQL instrument, the TSQM, was incorporated. This amendment was implemented before any subjects had received the first infusion of IgPro20.
    31 May 2007
    The lower age limit of subjects participating in the study was raised to 16 years of age for study sites in the UK to fulfil the requirement of the South West Research Ethics Committee. This amendment was implemented before any subjects had received the first infusion of IgPro20.
    30 Jan 2009
    Based on slow recruitment and to ensure sufficient data for children, the number of study sites was changed from approximately 12 study sites to 21 study sites in Europe, the number of subjects was changed from approximately 36 enrolled subjects to 51 enrolled subjects, and the recruitment period was extended from approximately 4 months to 15 months. The number of subgroup analyses as well as the lowest number of subjects in a subgroup was limited to provide meaningful results. Subgroup analyses were only to be done for the primary endpoint and the secondary endpoints number of infections and number of days out of work/school/kindergarten/day care or unable to perform normal activities due to infections. An additional subgroup analysis of treatment-emergent AEs was stipulated. This amendment was implemented after all subjects had received the first infusion of IgPro20 and after 38 subjects had completed the study or had discontinued from the study.
