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
    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of orally administered LX1606 in subjects with symptomatic carcinoid syndrome.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and with GCP as required by the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines and in accordance with country-specific laws and regulations governing clinical studies of investigational products.
    Background therapy
    The majority of subjects (86.7%) received antigrowth hormones (lanreotide, octreotide) during the study.
    Evidence for comparator
    No comparators were used in the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    After signing the informed consent form, patients who satisfied inclusion/exclusion criteria were entered into the study on Day 1 (start of study drug) and were considered enrolled at that time. Sixteen patients were screened; however, 15 patients were enrolled with the 16th patient identified as a screen failure prior to enrollment.

    Dosage and administration details
    Patients participated in a 2-week Run-in Period to establish Baseline symptoms. Following the Run-in Period, all patients were given telotristat etiprate oral capsules at a starting dosage of 150 mg 3 times daily (tid) for 14 days. Dose escalations occurred serially every 14 days, up to a maximum dosage of telotristat etiprate 500 mg (as free base) tid, as guided by specific clinical criteria for dose escalation.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Upon completion of the Core Phase, 11 patients were eligible to enter the Extension Period. Of those that were not eligible, 1 patient withdrew consent after completion of the Core Phase; 2 patients completed the Core Phase prior to the optional Extension Period being available.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Jun 2010
    Amendment #1: 1. Inclusion criteria were revised to require patients of childbearing potential to agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (defined as having a failure rate of <1% per year). 2. Dose-limiting toxicities were revised to include the definition for a minimum intolerable dose.
    10 Jan 2011
    Amendment #2: 1. Study design was modified to allow for an optional 24-week, Open-label Extension Period treatment in which eligible patients who completed the initial 4-week Treatment Period could continue to receive treatment. 2. Inclusion criterion was modified to include all carcinoid tumors. 3. Study population was modified to reflect an increase in the number of study sites (from 8 to 15).
    13 Jun 2011
    Amendment #3: 1. Pregnancy section was modified to reflect the change in the extension requirement of contraceptive use and monitoring for both males and females.
    08 Aug 2011
    Amendment #4: 1. Study design was modified to allow for an optional 72-week, Open-label Extension Period in which eligible patients who completed the initial 4-week Treatment Period could continue to receive treatment. 2. Exclusion criterion for liver function values was revised to reflect the increase in the allowable ALP levels from ≥1.5 to ≥3 × ULN.
    18 Jul 2012
    Amendment #5: Study design was modified to reflect that patients had to be able to tolerate dose regimens of 250 mg tid or 500 mg tid to enroll into the optional Extension Period of the study as the 50-mg capsule strength would no longer be manufactured.
    13 Nov 2012
    Amendment #6: 1. Study design was modified to allow for an optional 124-week, Open-label Extension Period in which eligible patients who completed the initial 12-week Treatment Period could continue to receive treatment.
