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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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
    The primary objective of Study M07-005 was to evaluate the PK and PD parameter estimates of eculizumab to confirm the dose regimens for paediatric patients with PNH
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients must have been vaccinated against Neisseria meningitidis, Pneumococcus species, and Hemophilus influenzae type b at least 14 days prior to the start of study drug, or be vaccinated and receive treatment with appropriate antibiotics until 14 days after vaccination. Patients were excluded for prior treatment with eculizumab, presence or suspicion of bacterial infection or recurrent bacterial infections, or history of meningococcal, pneumococcal, or gonococcal disease. Patients were also excluded if pregnant, breastfeeding, or intending to conceive during the study period.
    Background therapy
    No background therapy was used in this trial.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Recruitment period lasted from October 2009 to January 2011. Three sites in the USA enrolled a total of 7 patients.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screening phase was approx. 2 weeks. ICF and paediatric/adolescent assent forms were signed at or before Visit 1. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were obtained and evaluated. If all screening criteria are met, the patient was eligible to enter the treatment phase of the study after receiving a N. meningitidis, pneumococcus and hemophilus vaccination

    Reporting group description
    Seven patients aged 11–17 years were enrolled between October 2009 and January 2011; younger patients did not present for eligibility screening at the participating centers during the study period. All patients entered the body weight cohort of greater or equal to 30 kg. Each patient received all nine doses of eculizumab via peripheral vein and completed the study period of 12 weeks.

    End point title
    PK and PD evaluation [1]
    End point description
    PD response was measured by the capacity of patient serum to lyse chicken erythrocytes in a human serum-complement hemolytic assay; complete complement blockade was defined as <20% hemolysis in vitro. All baseline trough plasma levels of eculizumab were undetectable. Peak and trough eculizumab concentrations increased gradually and reached a plateau by week 4. At week 12, median trough eculizumab levels were 192.5 mcg/ml (range 124.2-321.1) and median peak levels were 425.4 mcg/ml (range 220.5-556.1). The max and min conc. of eculizumab, and AUC were significantly associated with the change from baseline in LDH at the follow-up visits (P=0.0273, P=0.0250 and P=0.0263 respectively). Prior start of eculizumab, in vitro hemolysis of <20%, that is, inducing complete complement blockade, after steady-state levels were reached at week 4.

    PK ad PD samples were collected before and after completing the administration of eculizumab at each visit.

    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) that occurred in at least 2 subjects during the study are reported here. TEAEs are defined as an event not present prior to exposure to eculizumab or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to eculizumab.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Nov 2010
    Amendment 2 (protocol v3.0): Modify the protocol to restrict inclusion criteria as agreed in the Paediatric Investigation Plan for eculizumab. Further to the evaluation of the Paediatric Investigation Plan for eculizumab by the European Paediatric Committee, the protocol inclusion criteria was modified as follows: 1. To update dosing for patients 2 - 17 years old and weight ≥5kg. 2. To include vaccination requirements previously described in the methodology section of the protocol as an inclusion requirement. In addition, to add vaccination requirements for Pneumococci and Haemophilus. 3. To only include paediatric patients in whom haemolysis contributes to the anaemia. 4. To not include patients with history of meningococcal/pneumococcal/gonococcal disease. 5. To add an external data monitoring committee (DMC) to monitor safety. 6. To add an exploratory endpoint to assess correlation between LDH and PNH clone size.
