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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of NewGam in preventing serious bacterial infections compared to historical control data.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was conducted in accordance to the principles of GCP, ensuring that the rights, safety and well-being of patients are protected and in consistency with the Declaration of Helsinki. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were carefully defined in order to protect subjects from contraindications, interactions with other medication and safety factors associated with the investigational medicinal product. Throughout the study safety was assessed, such as occurrence of AEs, lab values, vital signs and physical examinations.

    End point title
    rate of serious bacterial infections per person-year [1]
    End point description
    The number of serious bacterial infections per person-year of treatment was calculated by the following formula: Total number of serious bacterial infections / patient-years on NewGam treatment. Serious bacterial infections were defined as bacteraemia/sepsis, bacterial meningitis, osteomyelitis/septic arthritis, bacterial pneumonia, and visceral abscess.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The primary endpoint (rate of serious bacterial infections per person-year) is presented as point estimates of the rate along with a 99% confidence interval (CI). The rate of serious bacterial infections per year was calculated by the following formula: r = Total number of serious bacterial infections/Patient years on NewGam treatment

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 Aug 2010
    Amendment 4: • The recruitment period was prolonged and the number of sites was increased. • Patients less than 16 years of age with a history of diabetes mellitus type II were allowed to enter the study. • Flu vaccination including H1N1 strain during the study was allowed. • Measles was to be reported as an SAE. • Only AEs classified as at least possibly related to the study drug (ADRs) to be assessed as to their expectedness by the sponsor in accordance with current Octapharma drug safety procedures • Following the adoption of a new CHMP guideline on the clinical investigation of IVIG (EMA/CHMP/BPWP/94033/2007 rev 2) , interim analysis after 6 months of treatment in 15 patients was deleted without any consequence for the study.
    16 Feb 2012
    Amendment 5: • The planned clinical end was delayed by one quarter. • A clarification was added that patients were to be evaluated in the age group assigned at the time when they had signed the informed consent • Secondary endpoints and safety evaluation were updated upon request of the Paediatric Committee (PDCO). • A clarification was added that discrepancies between diary entries and eCRF entries were to be explained by investigator in source records. • Information was added that therapeutic efficacy parameters were to be evaluated per person-year on treatment.
