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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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
    General Objectives: Assessment of the short-term and long-term efficacy and safety of 3 different doses of the three-dimensional autologous chondrocyte transplantation product ACT3D-CS for the treatment of cartilage defects (≥ 4-10 cm2) of knee joints. The health economic outcomes are mainly intended to be assessed and evaluated as a basis for future negotiations with health insurances, health care providers and development of newly implemented procedural codes within the German DRG (Diagnosis Related Groups) system for ACT3D-CS. Health economic data within the phase II study will be collected and assessed, where different doses of ACT3D-CS will be applied. Primary Objectives: Change of overall KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) from baseline (Day 0) to final assessment (FA) at 12 months after transplantation determined for each dosage group and between the dosage groups
    Protection of trial subjects
    In case of pain, patient agreed only to use paracetamol mono- (maximum 4 g/day) or a combination preparation and oral and/or topical NSAIDs during the trial and to discontinue the use of oral and/or topical NSAIDs and/or paracetamol combination preparation 1 week before each visit (whereby the use of paracetamol mono-preparation, maximum 4 g/day was allowed). However, in the morning of the visit day, no pain medication was allowed. Other pain medications were allowed during the surgical procedure and could be taken for a period not exceeding 4 weeks after surgery. Any illness of the patient present at the time of enrolment into the trial was considered as concomitant illness and documented in the Concomitant Illness & Medication/Measure Form of the eCRFs containing the following: – Concomitant illness – Medication/Measure – Medication form – Dosing/Frequency – Start date – Stop date Every concomitant illness (except for those constituting exclusion criteria as defined in Section 9.3.2) was examined before the patient's enrolment into the trial and treated with an appropriate medication/measure if necessary. Any illness emerging during the course of the trial was to be regarded as an adverse event (see Section 9.5.1.3.1). All illnesses and any surgical treatment of the patient and medications taken / measures performed during the six months before enrolment into the trial were also to be documented in the Concomitant Illness & Medication/Measure Form. Any medication/measure (including over-the-counter medication, multi-vitamin or nutritional supplement) taken by the patient or prescribed during the trial was to be recorded in the Concomitant Illness & Medication/Measure Form of the eCRFs.

    Notes
    [3] - The change of overall KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) at 12 months from baseline (Day 0) was tested statistically for all three dose groups by applying the principle of ordered hypotheses. The statistical hypothesis per dose group was equality of the overall KOOS at 12 months compared with baseline versus the alternative of superiority.
    [4] - The null hypothesis to be tested in the primary analysis was: H0: delta = KOOSV12 - KOOSBase = 0 It was to be rejected if p < or = alpha = 0.05 in a one-sample, two-sided t test (for details see Section 6.4.1 of the SAP).

According to the study protocol, each patient was to receive a single dose of chondrosphere. In fact two patients did not receive any chondrosphere, but did undergo arthroscopy; the latter was a study-specific procedure and these two patients are therefore included in the safety population and in all safety analyses except where a statement to the contrary is made.
