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   44235   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7336   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
    1. Evaluate the efficacy after 26 weeks of Kuvan® treatment + Phe-restricted diet therapy in increasing dietary Phe tolerance, as compared to dietary therapy alone in <4 year-old infants and children with phenylketonuria (PKU). Phe tolerance will be defined as the amount of dietary Phe (mg/kg/day) ingested while maintaining blood Phe levels within the range of 120-360 μmol/L (defined as ≥120 to < 360 μmol/L). 2. Evaluate the safety after 26 weeks of Kuvan® treatment in <4 year-old infants and children with PKU. 3. Evaluate BH4 (tetrahydrobiopterin; sapropterin) blood levels via scheduled PopPK samplings.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was performed in accordance with the protocol and subsequent protocol amendments and with the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki, in accordance with the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH), Note for Guidance on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) (ICH Topic E6, 1996) and applicable regulatory requirements.

    Number of Subjects With Neuromotor Developmental Milestones Assessed Using Denver Developmental Scale (DDS) - Kuvan Continuous Study
    End point description
    Subjects with normal neuromotor development were assessed by standardized developmental milestones using a parent/guardian report form in the following areas: fine motor, gross motor, language, and personal-social using DDS Test. DDS Test is a widely used to examine the developmental progress of 0-6 years of children. The scale reflects what percentage of a certain age group is able to perform a certain task. Tasks are grouped into 4 categories (social contact, fine motor skill, language, and gross motor skill) and include items such as smiles spontaneously (performed by 90% of three-month-olds), knocks 2 building blocks against each other (90% of 13-month-olds), speaks 3 words other than "mom" and "dad" (90% of 21-month-olds), or hops on 1 leg (90% of 5-year-olds). The more items a child fails to perform (passed by 90% of his/her peers), the more likely the child manifests a significant developmental problems.

    Number of Samples With Phenylalanine Hydroxylase (PAH) Gene Mutations - Kuvan Continuous Study
    End point description
    The DNA samples received were quantified by using a nanophotometer, and were aliquoted to a concentration of 20 nanogram/microliter DNA and aliquots from each sample were distributed to one 96-well plate and Sanger sequenced. All samples showing only 1 mutation were analyzed by MLPA. All samples showing only 1 or no mutation were resequenced completely (exons 1 to 13) in both directions. Kuvan® (sapropterin dihydrochloride) tablets were administered orally at a dose of 10 milligram/kilogram/day (mg/kg/day). If after 4 weeks, there was less than 20 percent (%) increase in subject's Phe tolerance versus baseline, the dose was escalated to 20 mg/kg/day. Phenylalanine (Phe)-restricted diet was adjusted every 2 weeks, based on the mean Phe levels of the previous 2 weeks using pre-defined Phe adjustment criteria.

    Population Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Apparent Clearance (CL/f) - Kuvan Continuous Study
    End point description
    CL/f is the rate at which a drug is removed from the body via renal, hepatic and other clearance pathways.The reason for pooling subjects receiving Kuvan and subjects with Phe-restricted Diet was to facilitate the estimation of baseline endogenous value of BH4 which can only be observed in subjects not receiving the treatment. All enrolled subjects for whom at least one adequately documented BH4 concentration value and dose record were included in the population PK analysis. This includes patients receiving either Kuvan® tablets were administered orally at a dose of 10 milligram/kilogram/day (mg/kg/day) in conjunction with a Phe-restricted diet, or diet alone. If after 4 weeks, there was less than 20 percent (%) increase in subject's Phe tolerance versus baseline, the Kuvan® dose was escalated to 20 mg/kg/day. Phenylalanine (Phe)-restricted diet was adjusted every 2 weeks, based on the mean Phe levels of the previous 2 weeks using pre-defined Phe adjustment criteria.

    Population PK Parameter: Apparent Volume of Distribution (V/f) - Kuvan Continuous Study
    End point description
    V/f is defined as the distribution of a medication between the plasma and the rest of the body after the dose. It is the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of the drug. The reason for pooling subjects receiving Kuvan and subjects with Phe-restricted Diet was to facilitate the estimation of baseline endogenous value of BH4 which can only be observed in subjects not receiving the treatment. Ignoring this baseline endogenous value would have led to biased stimated of the Kuvan PK parameters. This pooling assumes that the addition of Kuvan does not confound the BH4 measurements in these analyses as a consequence the population PK parameters describing the PK of BH4 are the same for the 2 arms and so cannot be presented in terms of per arm/per treatment group based as per the planned analysis.

    Population PK Parameter: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve, Time 0 to Infinity (AUC [0-infinity]) - Kuvan Continuous Study
    End point description
    AUC [0-infinity] was estimated by determining total area under the curve of the concentration versus time curve extrapolated to infinity. Since AUC could not be obtained from non-compartmental analysis because of sparse data, AUC = Dose/(CL/F); CL/F was population apparent clearance estimated from the population PK model, & Dose the actual total dose received by the patient on one dosing interval. The reason for pooling subjects receiving Kuvan &subjects with Phe-restricted Diet was to facilitate estimation of baseline endogenous value of BH4 which can only be observed in subjects not receiving treatment. Ignoring this baseline endogenous value would have led to biased estimated of Kuvan PK parameters. This pooling assumes that the the addition of Kuvan does not confound the BH4 measurements in these analyses as a consequence the population PK parameters describing the PK of BH4 were same for the 2 arms and cannot be presented per arm/per treatment group as per planned analysis.

    Population PK Parameter: Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2) - Kuvan Continuous Study
    End point description
    The t1/2 was defined as the time required for plasma concentration of drug to decrease 50 percent (%) in the final stage of elimination. Since t1/2 could not be obtained from non-compartmental analysis because of sparse data, t1/2 was estimated as Log(2)*(V/F)/(CL/F), where V/F & CL/F were the population apparent central Volume & clearance, estimated from population PK model. The reason for pooling subjects receiving Kuvan & subjects with Phe-restricted Diet was to facilitate the estimation of baseline endogenous value of BH4 which can only observed in subjects not receiving treatment. Ignoring this baseline endogenous value would have led biased stimated of the Kuvan PK parameters.

    Kuvan® + Phe-restricted Diet - Continuous
    Reporting group description
    Kuvan® (sapropterin dihydrochloride) tablets were administered orally at a dose of 10 milligram/kilogram/day (mg/kg/day). If after 4 weeks, there was less than 20 percent (%) increase in subject's Phe tolerance versus baseline, the dose was escalated to 20 mg/kg/day. Phenylalanine (Phe)-restricted diet was adjusted every 2 weeks, based on the mean Phe levels of the previous 2 weeks using pre-defined Phe adjustment criteria.

    Phe-restricted Diet - Continuous
    Reporting group description
    Phenylalanine (Phe)-restricted diet was adjusted every 2 weeks, based on the mean Phe levels of the previous 2 weeks using pre-defined Phe adjustment criteria. After 26 weeks, the starting dose of Kuvan will be 10 mg/kg/day, and the dose may be adjusted by the Investigator, if clinically indicated, but it may not exceed 20 mg/kg/day.
