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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Stage 1 (phase II dose-finding part):
    •Determination and selection of one dosage from the three NewGam maintenance dosage arms in comparison with a placebo arm, based on the percentage of responders (defined as a decrease in the adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) disability score by at least 1 point) at week 24. The selected NewGam dosage and placebo will be employed and compared in Stage 2.

    Stage 2 (phase III confirmatory part):
    •To demonstrate superiority of the dosage regimen selected at study Stage 1 (out of 0.4 g/kg, 1.0 g/kg or 2.0 g/kg NewGam) over placebo in patients with CIDP as assessed by response rate at week 24 (responder is defined as a decrease in the adjusted INCAT disability score by at least 1 point).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the safety and efficacy of NewGam administration in patients with CIDP through other parameters
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    •Worsening of disability and objective increase in weakness or sensory deficit during the 6 months prior to screening
    • ≥18 years of age
    •Overall adjusted INCAT disability score between 2-9 (see appendix 1); a score of 2 has to result exclusively from leg disability

    •Known IgA deficiency with antibodies to IgA
    •History of hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis or severe systemic response to immunoglobulin, blood or plasma derived products, or any component of NewGam

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Efficacy:
    Response relative to baseline at 24 weeks or at time of rescue NewGam infusion using the adjusted INCAT disability score. Response will be defined as a decrease of at least 1 point on the adjusted INCAT disability score, a scale from 0 to 10 (from healthy to unable to make any purposeful movements with arms or legs in which the change from 0 to 1 in the upper limb component is discounted, see appendix 1).
    The results from the Stage 1 (dose-finding phase II part) of this seamless phase II/III trial will be used to adopt the sample size in the Stage 2 (efficacy phase III part), and also to only continue - in addition to the placebo arm - with the NewGam arm that is the most efficacious as shown by IA.
