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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy (effect on grip strength and disability) and safety/tolerability of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% (IGIV, 10%) in subjects with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with this protocol, the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Guideline for Good Clinical Practice, Title 21 of the US Code of Federal Regulations and the European Directive.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Recruitment was conducted in the U.S., Canada, and Europe at 17 study sites. The first subject was enrolled in August 2008.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Fifty unique potential subjects were enrolled (signed informed consent) at clinical study sites in North America and Europe. Six were screen failures. Therefore, 44 subjects were randomized and treated.

    Pre-assignment period milestones
    Number of subjects started
    50 [1]
    Number of subjects completed
    44

    Pre-assignment subject non-completion reasons
    Reason: Number of subjects
    Screen Failure: 6
    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The worldwide number of subjects enrolled only included subjects treated with study product (N=44) as per definition of enrolled in EudraCT (Enrolled=Treated). The number of subjects reported in the pre-assignment period includes all subjects enrolled in the study i.e. signed informed consent (N=50).

    Immune globulin intravenous (Human), 10% (IGIV, 10%) solution consists of 1 vial of a liquid solution containing 100 mg/mL protein, of which at least 98% is Immunoglobulin (IgG). Subjects were dosed intravenously at increasing rates of infusion starting at 0.5 mL/kg body weight/hour (BM/h) and increasing to a maximum rate of 5.0 mL/kg BW/h. Alternatively Institutional Standardized Infusion Rate Protocols may be used. Rate of infusion could be adjusted at the investigator's discretion.

    Immune globulin intravenous (Human), 10% (IGIV, 10%) solution consists of 1 vial of a liquid solution containing 100 mg/mL protein, of which at least 98% is Immunoglobulin (IgG). Subjects were dosed intravenously at increasing rates of infusion starting at 0.5 mL/kg body weight/hour (BM/h) and increasing to a maximum rate of 5.0 mL/kg BW/h. Alternatively Institutional Standardized Infusion Rate Protocols may be used. Rate of infusion could be adjusted at the investigator's discretion.

    Grip Strength in the More Affected Hand [1]
    End point description
    The grip strength was measured using a DynEx digital dynamometer. The result of grip strength was recorded to a resolution of 0.1 kg. Each grip strength test consisted of 3 maximal repeated contractions (trials). Each subject will perform 2 sessions of grip strength testing. After a 10-minute break, the testing session will be repeated for a total of 6 grip repetitions per hand. Population: Intent To Treat.

    Mean Relative Change in Grip Strength in the More Affected Hand [2]
    End point description
    Relative Change is defined as 100 * (End of the Cross-Over Period - baseline of Cross-Over Period) divided by baseline of Cross-Over Period. The grip strength was measured using a DynEx digital dynamometer. The result of grip strength was recorded to a resolution of 0.1 kg. For statistical analysis, the mean of (usually three) trials for cross-over sessions 1 and 2 was computed and the mean of the sessions was used in the analysis as the result of the grip strength measurement. Only if no grip strength testing could be performed the results were considered as missing. Population: Intent To Treat.

    Overall Disability Sum Score - Standardized
    End point description
    The overall disability sum scale (based on Merkies et al., 2002) is a patient questionnaire that measures disability. Overall disability sum score = arm disability scale (range 0–5) + leg disability scale (range 0–7); Overall Range: 0 (no signs of disability) to 12 (maximum disability). This was standardized to a scale of 0 to 100 (the best score being 100) to allow calculation of relative changes. Population: Intent to Treat.

    Time Required by Subjects to Complete the 9 Hole Peg Board Test (9-HPT) with the Dominant Hand
    End point description
    The 9-HPT is a quantitative measure of upper extremity (arm and hand) function. Subjects picked up the pegs one at a time (nine in total), and put them into the holes on the board as quickly as possible, in any order until all the holes were filled. Then, without pausing, subjects removed the pegs one at a time and returned them to the container as quickly as possible. Each subject did this two times with their dominant hand. The 9-HCT objective is to see how fast subjects could put all of the pegs in and take them out again. Population: Intent to Treat.

    End point description
    Relative grip strength change is defined as 100 * (End of the Cross-Over Period - baseline of Cross-Over Period) divided by baseline of Cross-Over Period. The grip strength was measured using a DynEx digital dynamometer. The result of grip strength was recorded to a resolution of 0.1 kg. For statistical analysis, the mean of (usually three) trials for cross-over sessions 1 and 2 was computed and the mean of the sessions was used in the analysis as the result of the grip strength measurement. Only if no grip strength testing could be performed the results were considered as missing. Population: Intent to Treat.
