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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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 Mean Activity Period/Day/Visit at Week 48, as Assessed by Step Activity Monitoring (SAM)
    End point description
    Participants were instructed to continue to wear SAM (a pedometer) for at least 9 consecutive days. SAM was used to record number of strides/minute following each visit. A stride is the leg motion that begins when foot with SAM leaves the floor and ends when same foot touches the floor again (a stride generally equals 2 steps). Mean obtained during Screening (Week -6 to -1) and following Week 1 visit were used as baseline data. For each day, an active period was defined as the first time after 3:00 AM that greater than (>) 2 strides/minute were recorded to the last time prior to midnight that >2 strides/minute were recorded. Days were deleted on which such an active period was less than (<) 50% of mean active period across all days for that participant's visit. ITT population included all participants who were randomized and received any study treatment; and had a valid baseline, and at least one valid post-baseline 6MWD value. Here, ‘n'=participants evaluable at specified timepoint.

    Change From Baseline in Mean Total Step Count/Day/Visit During the Active Periods at Week 48, as Assessed by SAM
    End point description
    Participants were instructed to continue to wear SAM (a pedometer) for at least 9 consecutive days. SAM was used to record the number of strides/minute following each visit. A stride is the leg motion that begins when foot with SAM leaves the floor and ends when the same foot touches the floor again (a stride generally equals 2 steps). Mean obtained during Screening (Week -6 to -1) and following Week 1 visit were used as baseline data. For each day, an active period was defined as the first time after 3:00 AM that >2 strides/minute were recorded to the last time prior to midnight that >2 strides/minute were recorded. Days were deleted on which such an active period was <50% of mean active period across all days for that participant's visit. ITT population included all participants who were randomized and received any study treatment; and had a valid baseline, and at least one valid post-baseline 6MWD value. Here, 'n'= participants evaluable at specified timepoint.

    Change From Baseline in Number of Digits Recalled Forwards and Backwards on Digit Span Task at Week 48
    End point description
    Basic attention and working memory was measured using the digit span task. A series of digits (0-9) were presented to the child in an auditory format only. The task had 2 parts; in the forward condition, the child was requested to repeat back the digits in the order they were presented and in the backward condition, he was requested to reverse the order of presentation. A raw score of the total number of correct responses was converted to an age-scaled-score (z-score) by subtracting the corresponding mean and dividing by the corresponding standard deviation of a reference population for that age. ITT population included all participants who were randomized and received any study treatment; and had a valid baseline, and at least one valid post-baseline 6MWD value. Here, ‘n’=participants evaluable for this endpoint for specified categories.

    Change From Baseline in Heart Rate Before, During, and After Each 6MWT at Week 48, as Assessed by Heart Rate Monitoring With the Polar® RS400
    End point description
    Heart rate was measured with a Polar RS400 heart rate monitor, which consists of a transmitter strap worn around the chest and a wristwatch receiver. Monitor produces a digital text file with 1 value per minute that represents mean heart rate for that minute. Mean heart rates values were collected prior to, during, and after the 6MWD. The participant rested for 5 minutes in a sitting position prior to the 6MWD, and the mean heart rate for the last minute of this rest period was collected and documented as the resting heart rate. During the 6MWT, the mean heart rate was collected and documented as the active heart rate. After completing the 6MWT and resting for 3 minutes, the mean heart rate for 1 minute was collected and documented as the recovery heart rate. ITT population included all participants who were randomized and received any study treatment; and had a valid baseline, and at least one valid post-baseline 6MWD value. Here, ‘n'=participants evaluable for specified categories.

    End point description
    Immunofluorescence evidence of a change in dystrophin expression on biceps muscle biopsy was defined as an increase in the staining of the sarcolemmal membrane with an antibody to the C-terminal portion of the dystrophin protein (excluding revertant fibers) between the pre-treatment (1 week prior to Baseline visit) and post-treatment (Week 36) biopsies. The biceps muscle was biopsied from one arm for confirmation of the absence or reduced levels of dystrophin prior to treatment initiation and from the other arm to assess for production of dystrophin post-treatment. As-treated population included all randomized participants who actually received any study treatment. Here, ‘n' signifies participants evaluable for this endpoint at specified timepoint.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Dec 2007
    The changes implemented with this amendment are: - Information resulting from in vivo general toxicology studies of ataluren dosing for one month in mice was updated; - Information resulting from in vitro studies of human cytochrome P450 inhibition and induction was updated.
    28 Apr 2008
    The changes implemented with this amendment are: - Clarified that muscle dystrophin levels may be absent or reduced in Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DBMD) participants; - Clarified the required phenotypic evidence of DBMD by 9 years of age to ensure the enrollment of only BMD participants with more severe disease presentation and thereby limit the potential for a ceiling effect associated with the study-related efficacy evaluations; - Removed plasma renin as a laboratory parameter for potential exclusion from the study; - Clarified the duration of the follow-up period (that is, 6 weeks) requiring the use of contraceptives for sexually active participants; - Clarified the information regarding the metabolism of losartan by CYP2C9; - Clarified that participants must not use assistive devices during the 6MWD; - Clarified that blood pressure values collected during the 6MWD were not to be reconciled with blood pressure values collected with vital signs; - Clarified the wording to describe the methods used by the participants to complete the timed-function test (TFT) for running or walking 10 meters and climbing/descending stairs; - Clarified the wording to describe the documentation of the active heart rate during the 6MWD; - Clarified the site adverse event reporting requirements and de-identification of submitted source documentation to facilitate appropriate reporting by the sites; - Added and clarified assessments of 6MWD variability for upward adaption of sample size if variability was higher than expected; - Added a sensitivity analysis to determine the influence of assigning siblings to the same treatment group on the primary analysis; - Clarified the time-to-event analyses with regards to censoring; - Added a definition of treatment-emergent adverse events to clarify the safety analysis; - Corrected the number of participants for the interim efficacy and safety analysis from 100 to 90 participants (completing at least 24 weeks of treatment).
    27 Oct 2008
    The changes implemented with this amendment are: - Updated the required screening laboratory values based on experience to date in the DBMD study population. Thus, this amendment modified the screening laboratory parameters to allow for the inclusion of participants with clinically insignificant laboratory abnormalities and avoid unnecessary participant blood collection for retesting; - Modified the safety monitoring parameters and actions to be taken consistent with the changes to the laboratory entry criteria. This change was made to avoid the burden of unnecessary blood collection to reassess clinically inconsequential Grade 1 laboratory findings in this pediatric study population; - Removed the table describing the safety profile of ataluren; - Addressed the need for additional language to be inserted into the informed consent document encouraging participants and parents/guardians to avoid discussion of study-related procedures and study drug except with medical professionals involved in the study or in the care of the participant.
    04 Mar 2009
    The changes implemented with this amendment are: - Clarified that a participant is only required to walk for ≥75 meters during the 6MWD at Screening for the purpose of determining study eligibility, and that distances <75 meters are allowed for subsequent 6MWTs; - Revised the analysis plan for data derived from the SAM based on input from experts, recent literature, and assessment of initial pre-treatment data; - Updated the baseline 6MWD stratification from <270 meters and ≥270 meters to <350 meters and ≥350 meters. Prior to study start, the estimated mean 6MWD for the study population was ~270 meters; however, early assessment of pre-treatment 6MWD data (including 47 participants at Screening and 20 participants at Baseline visit) showed a mean 6MWD of ~350-360 meters; - Clarified that an overdose of study drug is the administration of a study drug dose >2 times the highest intended total daily dose level for this protocol; - Clarified the procedures for confirming Grade 1 or minor laboratory abnormalities; - Clarified that information regarding prior use of cardiac drugs for congestive heart failure (CHF) prophylaxis/treatment was also to be collected; - Clarified the parameters being measured for hematology laboratory assessments; - Clarified that not all muscle samples were to be processed and immunostained for various sarcoglycans and dystroglycan; rather, select samples may be assessed, as permitted by sample availability and observed dystrophin expression; - Revised the analysis plan for the 6MWD. Because the magnitudes of the changes in 6MWD were likely to be related to the baseline 6MWD, and because the MMRM was likely to have greater power than the repeated-measures analysis of covariance (RANOVA), the MMRM was to be used rather than the RANOVA.
