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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 objective of this study was to provide continued access to rilpivirine (RPV) for subjects who were randomized and treated with RPV in the Phase 2b (TMC278-C204 [C204]) or Phase 3 studies (TMC278-TiDP6-C209 [C209] and TMC278-TiDP6-C215 [C215]), and who, at the time of roll-over, experienced and were expected to continue experiencing clinical benefit from RPV treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse events (AEs) leading to discontinuation, any grade 3/4 events of rash (irrespective of causality), AEs considered at least possibly related to RPV, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related AEs, and pregnancies were collected from signing of the informed consent form (ICF) until the data cut-off date and were followed up by the investigator.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Total of 482 subjects were treated and 437 discontinued at data cut-off date (8 Feb 2018): 371 switched to commercially available RPV and 6 discontinued as they reached a virologic endpoint. At last visit of last subject (28 February 2020), out of 45 subjects 37 switched to commercially available RPV and 6 lost to follow-up.

    Reporting group description
    Subjects who rolled over from trial C204 continued to receive RPV 25 milligrams (mg) once daily (qd) in combination with an investigator-selected background regimen consisting of 2 nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (N[t]RTI)s starting Day 1.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    05 May 2011
    Amendment 1, issued on 5 May 2011, was considered substantial and the overall reason for the amendment was to replace the serum pregnancy test by a urine pregnancy test, add a reminder for the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*5701 allele testing and viral genotype determination, switching of background nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors [N(t)RTI]s from the roll-over visit onwards was allowed, effective methods of birth control for male and female subjects were updated and the withdrawal criteria were updated.
    28 Nov 2016
    Amendment 3, issued on 28 November 2016 (with country-specific amendments in South Africa and Chile [25 July 2017]), was considered substantial and the overall reason for the amendment was the simplification of the study and the reduction of study-related activities to a minimum for the limited number of subjects remaining in this study. The main component of the study remained to allow subjects who experienced and were expected to continue experiencing clinical benefit from rilpivirine (RPV) treatment to have continued access to RPV in a simplified study setting or to be switched to local (RPV-based) treatment options or local standard of care, as appropriate.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Not all AEs were collected; AEs considered related to RPV, leading to discontinuations, SAEs, or grade 3/4 events of rash regardless of causality were collected; discontinuation rate was > 90 percent which makes interpretation of results difficult.
