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   44138   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this clinical study was to assess clinical efficacy of Human-cl rhFVIII in terms of prevention (prophylactic treatment) and treatment of (breakthrough) BEs in previously treated children suffering from severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C <1%)
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was conducted in accordance to the principles of GCP, ensuring that the rights, safety and well-being of patients are protected and in consistency with the Declaration of Helsinki. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were carefully defined in order to protect subjects from contraindications, interactions with other medication and safety factors associated with the investigational medicinal product. Throughout the study safety was assessed, such as occurrence of AEs, lab values, vital signs and physical examinations.

    PK/recovery: 50 IU FVIII/kg body weight (BW) of the previously used FVIII concentrate followed by Human-cl rhFVIII after a wash-out period. Prophylactic treatment: All patients were treated prophylactically: every other day or 3 times weekly. The recommended dosage regimen was 30–40 IU FVIII/kg BW. Two dose escalations of each +5 IU FVIII/kg BW were allowed in case of an inadequate response (≥2 spontaneous BEs within one month). Treatment of breakthrough bleeding´s: dosage recommendations depending on the location and severity of the bleed are given in the protocol. Patients were treated for at least 50 EDs and at least 6 months.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Jun 2011
    Amendment #1: The original study protocol suggested every other day prophylactic treatment with Human-cl rhFVIII for all subjects. After an enrolment period of 6 months it turned out that many patients are not willing to join the study because their doctors and parents prefer a three times weekly injection. The protocol amendment therefore specified that both - every other day treatment as well as three times weekly prophylactic treatment is allowed.
    07 Oct 2011
    Amendment #2: The original study protocol was asking for 13 evaluable patients per age cohort to undergo the pharmacokinetic (PK) investigational part of the study. This patient number was based on the EMEA-draft guideline EMEA/CHMP/BPWP/144533/2009, dated 23 July 2009, which requested 13 patients per cohort to be evaluated for the study. On 21. July 2011 the guideline has been finalized, now requesting 12 evaluable patients per age cohort to undergo the PK investigation. The protocol amendment specified that 12 evaluable PK patients per age cohort will be included into the study.
