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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    The Infusion Log Diary case report form (CRF) was used to determine the number of test article infusions administered to treat a bleed. This was calculated by adding the initial (on-demand) infusion to any subsequent (on-demand) infusions for the same bleed (same bleed start date/time). The mean of infusions to produce an excellent, good, moderate and no response was reported. All enrolled subjects who took at least 1 dose of ReFacto AF study drug were included in the safety and efficacy analyses.

    Number of Bleeding Episodes Occurring Less Than Equal To (≤) 48 Hours After a Prophylaxis Infusion
    End point description
    First, the bleed start time from the Infusion Log Diary CRF was used to determine the number of breakthrough bleeds that occurred ≤48 hours after an infusion marked as “Prophylaxis” (which had no associated bleed). If there was more than 1 bleed location (i.e. ankle and joint) with identical bleed start date and time, it was treated as 1 bleed occurrence. If a response was given, or if a bleed time was given, but “On Demand” was not listed as “treatment type”, it was still counted as an on-demand bleed for analyses/summaries. Bleeding episodes were not categorized as spontaneous (atraumatic) or traumatic. All enrolled subjects who took at least 1 dose of ReFacto AF study drug were included in the safety and efficacy analyses.

    Incidence of Less-Than-Expected-Therapeutic Effect (LETE) in the On-demand Setting

    The calculation of incidence of on-demand LETE used the number of bleeds identified as, or with a result of, LETE as the numerator (from the On Demand LETE CRF), and the denominator was the number of bleeding episodes treated in an on-demand setting. This denominator could include new bleeding episodes in prophylaxis subjects breakthrough bleeds), and if subsequent on-demand doses for such a bleed met the on-demand LETE criteria, then an on-demand LETE was reported. All enrolled subjects who took at least 1 dose of ReFacto AF study drug were included in the safety and efficacy analyses.

    The calculation of incidence of prophylaxis LETE used the number of bleeds identified as, or with a result of, LETE as the numerator (from the Prophylactic LETE CRF), and the denominator was the number of routine prophylaxis infusions. Each infusion was classified in the infusion log (“Prophylaxis/ On Demand/ Preventive”), and subjects were instructed to select “On Demand” if the infusion was to treat a bleed, even if the subject typically followed a prophylaxis regimen. Only the infusions classified as “Prophylaxis” were counted in this denominator.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    28 May 2009
    1) Modification of definition of “clinically significant FVIII inhibitor” to remove any association of this definition with LETEs. 2) Deleted definition of “lack of effect” to disassociate this term with “LETE”, so as to allow sites to report lack of effect as an AE. This was independent of occurrences of LETE. 3) Added an exclusion that subjects who have had previous exposure to ReFacto AF were not permitted to participate in this study.
    30 Aug 2010
    1) Modified the time specified for the interim analysis. Previously, it was “An interim analysis will be conducted when approximately 50% of the subjects have achieved 50 EDs” and now it is “An interim analysis will be conducted before 2 years of enrollment, when data is available for 50% of the subjects who have achieved 50 EDs”.
    24 Mar 2011
    1) The efficacy endpoint, number of spontaneous/breakthrough bleeds within 48 hours of a preventive or prophylaxis dose of ReFacto AF, ABR was modified to indicate that all bleeds reported within 48 hours of a prophylaxis dose would be included.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The study was terminated early by agreement with the EMA (European Medicines Agency) before full recruitment was attained, but this is not considered to affect the overall results and the ability of the study to address its objectives.
