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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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 ).

    Change From Baseline in Total Chloride Transport at Day 14 of Cycles 1 and 2 [1]
    End point description
    TEPD assessed in each participant. Warmed solutions of Ringer’s solution, amiloride, chloride-free gluconate, isoproterenol, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were perfused through a nasal catheter while a voltage tracing was recorded. Total chloride transport computed for each nostril. The total chloride transport values calculated by subtracting the voltages at the end of a perfusion from the voltage at the end of an earlier perfusion (isoproterenol-amiloride). Population included randomized participants receiving ≥1 dose of study drug with evaluable chloride transport data. Baseline data for Cycles 1 and 2 and change from Baseline data at Day 14 of Cycles 1 and 2 are presented. Via a 2-sided t-test, the Baseline of Cycle 1 vs Day 14 of Cycle 1 at Ataluren 4, 4, and 8 mg/kg p-value=0.133 and at Ataluren 10, 10, and 20 mg/kg p-value=0.190 and the Baseline of Cycle 2 vs Day 14 of Cycle 2 at Ataluren 4, 4, and 8 mg/kg p-value=0.123 and at Ataluren 10, 10, and 20 mg/kg p-value=0.592.

    Number of Participants With Normalization of Chloride Transport Between Baseline and Day 14 of Cycles 1 and 2 [3]
    End point description
    Nasal TEPD was assessed in each participant using standardized techniques. Warmed solutions of Ringer’s solution, amiloride, chloride-free gluconate, isoproterenol, and ATP were perfused for ≥3-minute sequentially through a nasal catheter while a voltage tracing was recorded. Total chloride transport was computed for each nostril. The total chloride transport values were calculated by subtracting the voltages at the end of a perfusion from the voltage at the end of an earlier perfusion (isoproterenol - amiloride). The average of the values for each nostril was computed. If the assessment was available in only 1 nostril, this value was used as if it were the average of both nostrils. Normalization of chloride transport (normal range [NR]) was defined as nasal TEPD that was at least as electrically negative as -5 mV. Population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had evaluable normalization of chloride transport data.

    Change From Baseline in Parameters of Transepithelial Difference at Day 14 of Cycles 1 and 2
    End point description
    To assess TEPD, warmed solutions of Ringer’s solution, amiloride, chloride-free gluconate, isoproterenol and ATP were perfused for ≥3-minutes sequentially through a nasal catheter while a voltage tracing was recorded. Total chloride transport was computed per nostril. Totals were calculated by subtracting voltages at end of perfusion from voltage at end of earlier perfusion for: sodium transport (amiloride–Ringer’s solution), intrinsic chloride transport (CL trans) (chloride-free gluconate–amiloride), stimulated CL trans (isoproterenol–chloride-free gluconate), total potential difference (dif) (isoproterenol–Ringer’s solution), and ATP-mediated CL trans (ATP–isoproterenol). Basal potential dif voltage was obtained at end of Ringer’s solution perfusion. Population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had evaluable transepithelial difference data.

    Change From Baseline in CFTR Protein in Nasal Mucosa as Determined by Immunofluorescence at Overall Day 56
    End point description
    The immunofluorescence staining of normal epithelial cells (for example, from nasal mucosal curettage) reveals the presence of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) protein at the apical surface. Cells were stained with antibodies that recognized an epitope in the C-terminal portion of the CFTR protein, and the cells were imaged microscopically. The percentage of epithelial cells that showed apical CFTR staining was determined by 2 expert readers who were blinded to the timepoint at which the samples were obtained. The scores of the reviewers were averaged to determine the final percentage of cells with apical CFTR. Population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had evaluable apical cell data. Overall Baseline data for the study and change from overall Baseline data at overall Day 56 are presented.

    Change From Baseline in Nonsense Mutation CFTR mRNA in Nasal Mucosa as Determined by Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) Assay at Overall Day 42
    End point description
    The collection and processing of the nasal mucosal curettage from each nostril of each participant for measurement of CFTR protein by immunofluorescence and for quantification of CFTR messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) was performed using standardized techniques. The slides were processed and immunostained for detection of CFTR protein. Microscopic images were to be captured photographically for analysis. Because the nasal brushing used to collect nasal mucosal epithelial cells did not result in collection of sufficient cells for RT-PCR to be performed, an insufficient number of paired baseline and follow-up samples were available for analysis. As a result, no data were available to evaluate the effects of ataluren on CFTR mRNA. Population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had evaluable CFTR mRNA data.

    Change From Baseline in the CF-Related Symptom Scores, as Assessed Using a Participant-Reported Questionnaire at Day 14 of Cycles 1 and 2 and Overall Day 56
    End point description
    The CF symptom self-reported (or their guardians) questionnaire includes questions related to daytime cough, nighttime cough, sputum volume, sputum clearance, physical fatigue, and shortness of breath. For each symptom, the participants were asked to choose the response that best matched their experience during the 3 days before the questionnaire was completed. The scale of the 4 possible responses for each question was 0 (best response) to 4 (worse response). The sum of the scores for all of the questions was calculated. The scale for the sum of the scores was 0 (best response) to 24 (worse response). Population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had evaluable CF-related symptom scores. Overall Baseline data for the study and change from overall Baseline data at Day 14 of Cycles 1 and 2 and at overall Day 56 are presented.

    PK: Area Under the Concentration Time Curve from Time 0 (Dosing) to 24 hours (AUC0-24) of Ataluren
    End point description
    All PK parameters were calculated using the actual postdose blood sampling times in relationship to the time of the first dose (morning dose) on Day 14 of each treatment cycle. AUC0-24 values were calculated by WinNonlin by extrapolation to 24 hours if the last sampling timepoint was before 24 hours and by interpolation if the last sampling timepoint was after 24 hours. Extrapolation of AUC to 24 hours was performed only if the last sampling timepoint did not deviate from the nominal collection time by more than approximately 10%. Population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had evaluable AUC0-24 data. The data for each dose level represents pooled data for participants in the low-to-high dose sequence and the high-to-low dose sequence.

    Compliance with Study Treatment
    End point description
    For each participant, compliance was described in terms of the percentage of drug actually taken relative to the amount that was prescribed (taking into account physician-prescribed reductions and interruptions). The number of doses described as “taken less than planned” includes cases in which the participants took less than the prescribed dose and/or cases in which the Investigator reduced the dose. Population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had evaluable compliance data. The data for each dose level represents pooled data for participants in the low-to-high dose sequence and the high-to-low dose sequence.
