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 reducing renal-related anaemia in NDD-CKD subjects, determined as ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb).
    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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects were screened in the period 30 June 2010 to 24 February 2014. The trial took place at 67 sites (hospitals or private dialysis clinics) in 3 continents: 17 in India, 10 in Germany, 7 in United Kingdom, 7 in Austria, 7 in Russia, 5 in Poland, 4 in Denmark, 3 in Romania, 3 in USA, 2 in Sweden, and 2 in Ireland.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients who were ≥18 years of age with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 15-59 mL/min/1.73 m2, Hb <11.0 g/dL, either or both of serum-ferritin <200 μg/L and TSAT < 20%, and had not received ESA treatment within 8 weeks prior to screening, were eligible to participate.

    Arm title
    Group A, iron isomaltoside 1000
    Arm description
    The total IV iron needed for each subject in group A was calculated according to an adapted Ganzoni formula (target Hb was 13 g/dL (8.1 mmol/L) as the subjects were ESA naive): Cumulative iron dose (mg) = [body weight (kg) x (target Hb - actual Hb (g/dL)] x 2.4 + depot iron (set at 500 mg). Subjects treated with iron isomaltoside 1000 either received an IV infusion (group A1) of maximum 1000 mg iron isomaltoside 1000 as single doses over 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 2 minutes once weekly until full replacement dose was achieved.

The number of subjects may differ from the analysis population if data is missing. With a 2:1 randomisation, a two-sided significance level of 5%, and a non-inferiority margin of -0.5 g/dL, there was 80% power to demonstrate non-inferiority with 214 patients in group A and 107 patients in group B.

The treatment difference at week 4 was derived from the interaction between treatment and visit.
    [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.

    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.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    All AEs classified as serious and/or related to the study drug were followed by the principle investigator (PI) until the subject had recovered, recovered with sequelae, or died, and until all queries related to the AEs had been resolved. All other AEs were followed by the PI until the subject had recovered or until EOS whichever came first.

    Reporting groups
    Reporting group title
    Group A, iron isomaltoside 1000
    Reporting group description
    The total IV iron needed for each subject in group A was calculated according to an adapted Ganzoni formula (target Hb was 13 g/dL (8.1 mmol/L) as the subjects were ESA naive): Cumulative iron dose (mg) = [body weight (kg) x (target Hb - actual Hb (g/dL)] x 2.4 + depot iron (set at 500 mg). Subjects treated with iron isomaltoside 1000 either received an IV infusion (group A1) of maximum 1000 mg iron isomaltoside 1000 as single doses over 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 2 minutes once weekly until full replacement dose was achieved.

    Reporting group title
    Group B, oral iron sulphate
    Reporting group description
    Subjects receiving with oral iron sulphate were treated daily for 8 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
    15 Feb 2010
    • The replacement dose was modified to 750 mg iron isomaltoside 1000 for subjects with body weight between 35-45 kg and 500 mg iron isomaltoside 1000 for < 35 kg body weight • Laboratory assessment of s-calcium was added to obtain a complete serum chemistry • It was clarified that the UPT will be done only at screening • Packaging of iron isomaltoside 1000 was changed from 10 mL (1000 mg iron) am-poules to 5 mL (500 mg iron) vials • Analysis of phosphate as part of safety lab after 25, 50, and 100 subjects had been ex-posed to iron isomaltoside 1000 was added to monitor changes in phosphate levels
    28 Sep 2011
    • Subjects with body weight < 30 kg were excluded from the study for safety reasons • In the secondary endpoints, target limits for Hb, s-ferritin, and TSAT were removed on request from investigators, as these limits were too high • Text regarding the number of study centres was revised from “4 countries (UK, Denmark, Sweden, and India)” to “several countries in the European Union and India” • Levels of s-ferritin in the inclusion criteria were modified from s-ferritin < 100 µg/L to s-ferritin < 200 µg/L • Text describing non-serious AEs, ADRs, and SUSARs were added for clarity • Text regarding “3 months follow-up for pregnancy and study drug related SAEs” after EOS was removed
    18 Mar 2013
    • Primary endpoint of change in Hb concentration from baseline was changed from week 8 to week 4. • In the secondary endpoints, it was clarified that the responder can fulfil the criteria at any time point instead of all time points • A secondary endpoint of the number of subjects with a change in Hb ≥ 2.0 g/dL at different time points was added, in alignment with previous studies • The 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 as a secondary endpoint • Secondary endpoint of change in Hb concentration was changed from week 4 to week 8 in order to align with the change in primary endpoint • Exclusion criteria 5 was modified to clarify that if the subject did not have an impaired liver function then there was no need to exclude the subject from the study. • Exclusion criteria no. 6 and 20 were removed as there was no increased risk for subjects infected with human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis virus in participating in the study and it is not a contraindication in the SmPC of the study drug • To allow addition of new centres in countries other than Europe and India, the text describing the participating countries was generalised • Window periods for recording vital signs were increased from 0-5 to 0-10 min, and approximate time points were added for 5 min and 30 min after injection to allow a more flexible procedure • The word “approximately” was added to the administration time in order to make the drug administration more flexible for the centre personal • The provision for re-screening was added • The pregnancy reporting procedure was updated as there is no safety issue for women of which the spouse has been enrolled in the study • Appendix 2 related to CH-RLSq was updated
