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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    To demonstrate that intravenous iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) is non-inferior to oral iron sulphate in the ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb) in subjects with chemotherapy induced anemia and either absolute or functional iron deficiency.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and amendments were approved by local ethics committees/Institutional Review Boards and competent authorities. The trial was conducted in accordance with good clinical practice and the Declaration of Helsinki. Informed consent was obtained in writing prior to any trial-related activities.

    [1] - Treatment, visit, treatment*visit interactions, platinum based chemotherapy (Yes/No), and country were included as factors and baseline Hb were included as covariate. The treatment difference at week 4 was derived from the interaction between treatment and visit. The primary analysis was to assess non-inferiority and the non-inferiority margin was set as -0.5 g/dL.
    [2] - As the trial was designed to demonstrate non-inferiority, the analyses of FAS and PP population would lead to similar conclusions and therefore the analyses for both analysis sets needed to be powered properly.

    Test for superiority, MMRM
    Statistical analysis description
    In case the 95 % CI lay entirely above 0, this was evidence of superiority in terms of statistical significance at the 5 % level. In that case, the p-value associated with a test of superiority was calculated and evaluated whether this was sufficiently small to reject the hypothesis of no difference.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    From the time a subject had signed the ICF and until he/she had completed the trial, all AEs/SAEs were collected in the CRF. The SAEs occurring after study termination were reported if considered related to the trial treatment.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    The investigator was responsible for ensuring that all AEs observed by the investigator or reported by the subjects were properly collected and recorded in the subject’s medical record as well as on the AE form.

    Reporting group description
    Subjects treated with iron isomaltoside 1000 were randomised to either an IV infusion (group A1) of maximum 1000 mg (the maximum dose per infusion was 1000 mg for subjects with a weight >45 kg, 750 mg for subjects with a weight between 35 and 45 kg, and 500 mg for subjects with a weight <35 kg) iron isomaltoside 1000 as single doses over approximately 15 minutes (full iron replacement was achieved by 1 or up to 2 doses at a weekly interval) or IV bolus injections (group A2) of 500 mg iron isomaltoside 1000 administered over approximately 2 minutes once weekly until full replacement dose was achieved (a total of 1-4 doses at a weekly interval).

    Reporting group title

    Subjects receiving oral iron sulphate were treated daily for 12 weeks with 200 mg given as 100 mg twice a day.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 May 2010
    • Primary objective was changed to demonstrate that iron isomaltoside 1000 is non-inferior to iron sulphate • Endpoints were better defined to evaluate change in Hb and other iron parameters at defined time points during the study • An additional visit was added at 24 weeks • Iron dosage was increased to 2000 mg for subjects with body weight ≥ 100 kg
    27 Jul 2010
    • Duration of individual subject participation was clarified to be 24-26 weeks • Stratification criteria for Hb and s-ferritin was modified • The inclusion criteria was modified to clarify the types of non-myeloid malignancies
    20 Mar 2013
    • The primary objective was re-phrased to “ability to maintain haemoglobin concentration” • Measurement of TIBC was added as a secondary objective • The primary endpoint was modified from “change in Hb concentration from baseline to week 12” to “change in Hb concentration from baseline to week 4” • Additional secondary endpoint “Number of AEs of special interest (i.e. hypersensitivity reactions or hypotension at pre-specified time points in relation to administration of study drug)” was added • High grade lymphoma was added to inclusion criterion 2 • Exclusion criterion 10 was clarified and exclusion criterion 11 was deleted • Clarifications in drug dosage and formulation, study flowchart, study assessments, recording of vital signs, prohibited medications, protocol deviations, and reporting of AEs • Definition of non-smokers, statement on provision of study drug, storage temperature of study drug, description of overdose, and interim analyses were added • Changes in the statistical analyses were made as per changes in endpoints. MMRM was used instead of LOCF to account for missing values • Change in frequency of safety review meeting to once in 4 months
