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
    Study AMAG-FER-CKD-253 is an extension study of the combined AMAG-FER-CKD-251 (2010-019387) and AMAG-FER-CKD-252 (2010-019388) studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of episodic treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) with ferumoxytol. Study AMAG-FER-CKD-251 was a study evaluating the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) ferumoxytol in pediatric participants with dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD). Study AMAG-FER-CKD-252 was a study evaluating the efficacy and safety of IV ferumoxytol in pediatric participants with nondialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease. Due to significant challenges with enrollment for both studies, Study AMAG-FER-CKD-252 was combined with Study AMAG-FER-CKD-251 and enrollment continued under Study AMAG-FER-CKD-251 and then led the Sponsor to discontinue the combined AMAG-FER-CKD-251 and AMAG-FER-CKD-252 studies and the AMAG-FER-CKD-253 study as designed.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted according to international standards of Good Clinical Practice, International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), United States Food and Drug Administration regulations, applicable government regulations, and institutional research policies and procedures. AMAG will also continue to support the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. All participants were to remain in the clinic for 1 hour following each IV injection of ferumoxytol, with frequent monitoring of vital signs and close observation for adverse events.
    Background therapy
    There was no background therapy administered across all participant groups.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study population will consist of pediatric participants (6 months to <18 years of age) with IDA defined as hemoglobin <12.0 grams/deciliter (g/dL) and with either transferrin saturation (TSAT) ≤40% or ferritin <100 nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL) and CKD.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screening was to take place within 2 weeks of the start of the study. Screening assessments included review of inclusion/exclusion criteria, signature of informed consent, medical history, vital signs measurement, physical examination, clinical laboratory assessments including iron panel, and start of adverse events capture.

    When a participant had persistent or recurrent IDA (defined as hemoglobin <12.0 g/dL and with either TSAT ≤40% or ferritin <100 ng/mL), the participant began a 7-week treatment. Participants received 2 IV injections of ferumoxytol 7.0 mg iron (Fe)/kilogram (kg) (maximum of 510 mg/dose), the first dose administered on Day 1 and the second on Days 3 through 9 of the Treatment Period.

    Ferumoxytol for IV injection: Each 20 mL single-use vial contains 17 mL of ferumoxytol that consists of iron, at a concentration of 30 mg Fe/mL, and mannitol, at a concentration of 44 mg/mL, in a black to reddish brown sterile, aqueous, colloidal, isotonic solution. The product contains no preservatives. Osmolality: 270-330 milliosmoles/kg; pH: 6-8. Administration was 2 IV injections of ferumoxytol 7.0 mg Fe/kg (maximum of 510 mg/dose), the first dose administered on Day 1 and the second on Days 3 through 9 of the Treatment Period.

    End point description
    Mean changes in hemoglobin following the first course of ferumoxytol from Baseline to Week 5 were to be presented. Despite efforts to complete the studies as designed, several factors contributed to significant challenges in enrollment and led the Sponsor to discontinue the combined AMAG-FER-CKD-251 and AMAG-FER-CKD-252 studies, and the AMAG-FER-CKD-253 study. Blood samples were collected, but not run through an analysis to obtain end point data.
