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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of BI 201335 given for 12 or 24 weeks in combination with PegIFN/RBV given for 48 weeks as compared to PegIFN/RBV alone in chronic GT-1 hepatitis C virus infected patients who failed a prior PegIFN/RBV treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. In addition IDMC meetings were held approximately every four months at the project level; trial data were reviewed in open and closed sessions.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline characteristics are based on patients who were randomised after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one of the study medication.

    Null:Faldaprevir 12 weeks
    Reporting group description
    Patients who had had a prior null response received Faldaprevir 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 12 weeks, followed by placebo once daily combined with PegIFN/RBV for 12 weeks. Followed by PegIFN/RBV alone for 24 weeks.

    Reporting group title
    Null:Faldaprevir 24 weeks
    Reporting group description
    Patients who had had a prior null response received Faldaprevir 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 24 weeks. Followed by PegIFN/RBV alone for 24 weeks.

    Reporting group title
    Relapser & partial:Faldaprevir 24 weeks
    Reporting group description
    Patients who had had a prior relapse or prior partial response, received Faldaprevir 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 24 weeks. Followed by PegIFN/RBV alone for 24 weeks (for the partial relapsers the last 24 weeks was only if the patient did not achieve early treatment success (ETS)).

    Reporting group title
    Relapser & partial:Faldaprevir 12 weeks
    Reporting group description
    Patients who had had a prior relapse or prior partial response, received Faldaprevir 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 12 weeks, followed by placebo once daily combined with PegIFN/RBV for 12 weeks. Followed by PegIFN/RBV alone for 24 weeks (for the partial relapsers the last 24 weeks was only if the patient did not achieve early treatment success (ETS)).

    Reporting group title
    Relapser & partial:Placebo
    Reporting group description
    Patients who had had a prior relapse or prior partial response, received 2 soft gelatin capsules identical to those containing Faldaprevir once daily (orally) and PegIFN/RBV administered by injection, for 24 weeks, followed by PegIFN/RBV for 24 weeks.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 Jun 2011
    Revision of Cohort 2 (partial responders) and Cohort 3 (null responders) to contain a maximum of 250 patients each. Several time window changes to offer sites and patients more scheduling flexibility Clarification of definitions for severity of rash and management guidelines for rash/photosensitivity reactions Clarification of genotypic resistance section Clarification of End of Treatment; patients were not stopped early if their viral load was below the limit of quantification. Clarification of inclusion (i.e. liver diseasebiopsies sought but were allowed to be waived if patient would have been put at risk) Clarifications of exclusion criteria for criterion #2, as well as based on CTP classification and updates of the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) for ribavirin. Changes included: incidental steatosis diagnosed by biopsy was not an exclusion criterion, decompensated liver disease was based on CTP classification, pre-existing psychiatric conditions, added creatinine clearance ≤50 mL/min) Addition of section on pure red-cell aplasia to facilitate safety reporting Implementation of a revised AE grading system (DAIDS grading) in order to harmonize AE reporting across HCV projects. Adjusted definition and reporting of AEs of special interest Addition of HCRU and work productivity data collection for HEOR evaluation Clarification of management of missed treatment doses Patients that permanently discontinue any study drug were not eligible to stop all treatment at Week 24, but rather followed the 48-week visit schedule.Revision of other endpoints: Extended rapid virological response was removed and progression of liver disease following EOT was added. Clarification that not every severe or serious AE prompted treatment discontinuation.
    12 Mar 2012
    Modified duration of treatment to SVR12 as primary endpoint and SVR24 as secondary based on regulatory presentations and retrospective analysis of phase II data indicating 98% positive predictive value. Clarification of stopping rule: Viral load results obtained at Visit 2a (Day 2) and Visit 2b (Day 7) were used for correlation with PK levels only. Stopping rule criteria were not considered based on viral load values from Visit 2a and 2b. Clarification of process: Investigators remained blinded to HCV load results during the first 8 weeks of therapy. The Investigator was informed by IVRS when a criteria for treatment discontinuation due to lack of efficacy were met for a given patient during the first 8 weeks of treatment. Once at Week 12 (V6), investigators received HCV RNA results. Clarification of dose modifications: FDV except for the results prior to Week 12 which remained blinded: No dose reductions were permitted for FDV. Interruptions had to be discussed with the clinical monitor. If only FDV was discontinued, patient was continued on PegIFN and RBV if medically appropriate. FDV monotherapy was not allowed. PegIFN: Dose reduction PegIFN (according to ANC or platelets) was initiated as per protocol. If Peg IFN had to be permanently discontinued, RBV and FDV (if applicable) had to also be discontinued within 7 days from the final decision to discontinue PegIFN. PegIFN interruptions had to be discussed with the clinical monitor. RBV: Treatment visit change: Follow Up 2 Visit changed from ±14 days to ±7 days. Revision of EOT process to: The Week 48 visit was also performed for early treatment discontinuation patients as per schedule. Any patient who was virologic failure (lack of efficacy) and was eligible for the rollover trial (PegIFN/RBV failures) but refused participation in 1220.48 was discontinued from the trial. Follow up 2 visit window reduced to encourage more timely visits near database lock. Oral antivirals for herpes simplex were allowed.
    21 Mar 2012
    Revised approach for implementation of amendment 2 to implement immediately to eliminate hazard and notify IRB/IEC/Competent Authority.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to the platform limitations, statistical analysis for null responders compared to historical rates of SVR could not be presented. Results for those can be found on ct.gov, study number NCT01358864.
