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   44043   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7319   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 efficacy of desmoteplase 90 µg/kg versus placebo in terms of favourable outcome at Day 90 in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The nature of the illness often implies impairment to understand and /or consent to participate in a study in the acute setting. Hence, consenting procedures, normally done by the patient and/or his/her legal representative, were extended to include consent by an impartial witness, a proxy (a relative), or a study-independent physician. However, this was only allowed under the conditions listed in the protocol and if allowed by local law and regulations and approved by the relevant ethics committee or IRB

    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: 492 patients were randomised (245 and 247 to placebo and treatment, respectively) However, only 478 (238 and 240 to placebo and treatment, respectively) were actually treated

    Modified Rankin Scale Score
    End point description
    mRS response (score of 0 to 2) at Day 90 The mRS is a clinician-rated scale designed to provide a global assessment of the patients dependency after stroke. The scale consists of a single item measuring the patient’s function based on the ability to perform daily activities. The patient is rated on a 7-point scale from 0 to 6, where a score of 5 corresponds to severe disability, and 6 to death. Assessment of a pre-stroke mRS score is based on an interview addressing the status of the patient prior to the stroke.

    National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score
    End point description
    The NIHSS is a clinician-rated, 15-item scale designed to assess the severity of stroke-related neurological deficits: level of consciousness, eye movements, visual fields, facial symmetry, motor strength (arm and leg), coordination, sensation, language (aphasia and dysarthria), and neglect. Each item is rated on a 3-, 4-, or 5- point scale ranging from 0 (normal) to the maximum score (extremely severe symptoms). The total score of the 15 items ranges from 0 to 42, where lower scores indicate less impairment.9

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Nov 2009
    The statistical design of the study was modified in order to align with the twin-study (12649A; DIAS-4). The original design was changed to a fixed-sample design, including an interim futility analysis without adjusting the significance level in the final analysis. With the fixed design, a two-sided test at the 0.05 level of significance was used. The sample size was increased to 400 treated patients in order to be able to detect a smaller effect size of 13% (38% desmoteplase responders versus 25% placebo responders) instead of 15%. The following was added: hierarchical ordering of endpoints, identification of the full-analysis set (FAS) as the primary analysis set, sensitivity analyses.
    09 May 2012
    Post-follow-up visits, up to 2 years after IMP administration, were added to explore the long-term antibody response and safety profile. Also, long-term assessments of living arrangements, quality of life, and a measure of resource utilisation were added. The timing of the post-dose ECG was moved from 24 hours after IMP administration to within 4 hours after IMP administration, as this was closer to the peak plasma concentration. Central reading of the ECGs was added. Exclusion criteria were clarified
    21 Sep 2012
    The total number of patients planned was increased from 400 to 480, to preserve the risk of a type II error at an acceptable level, as a review of blinded data showed that the overall percentage of responders in the study was higher than anticipated.
    18 Oct 2013
    Additional analyses of the primary and secondary endpoints were added to investigate the subgroup of patients with a baseline NIHSS score of 8-24. Analysis of the mRS using ordinal logistic regression was moved from the exploratory analysis to the secondary analysis. Subgroup analyses investigating the relationship between time from stroke onset to treatment and clinical outcome were added.
