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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    • To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of QTI571 in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial. Subjects who experience worsening of PAH requiring hospitalization may require the use of diuretics and supplemental oxygen. If severe, subjects may require intensive care treatment and use of vasopressors. PAH therapies, not used at time of enrollment, such as subcutaneous, oral, inhaled or intravenous prostacyclin derivatives, should only be added if the subject meets a TTCW event, including overnight hospitalization for worsening of PAH, worsening of WHO functional class by one or more levels, or a decrease in 6MWD of 15% measured on two occasions. Subjects who have a TTCW event may remain in the study and perform assessments per the visit schedule.
    Background therapy
    Specific PAH medications include: all endothelin receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors and inhaled, oral, intravenous, or subcutaneous prostacyclin analogues. Background PAH therapies include: oxygen, digoxin, all diuretics, and calcium channel blockers. Background PAH therapies may be adjusted as necessary during the study.

    Patients were instructed to take 2 100 mg tablets (highest tolerated dose in core study) once daily with a meal and a 200 mL glass of water and to swallow the tablet whole. If at any time, the dose of 200 mg q.d was not tolerated, treatment was to be discontinued and patient was to be discontinued from the study. Dosing was to be stopped immediately for unacceptable values (defined in protocol) of thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, all events of syncope, receipt of lung transplant, and significant arrhythmia or LV dysfunction.

    Patients were instructed to take 4 100 mg tablets (highest tolerated dose in core study) once daily with a meal and a 200 mL glass of water and to swallow the tablet whole. For patients unable to tolerate 400mg q.d, based on specific criteria outlined in the protocol, a dose reduction to 200mg q.d was to have taken place . If criteria persisted after two weeks of dose reduction, patient was to have been discontinued. After a dose reduction, dose escalation back to 400 mg was permitted if it was safe to do so in the investigator’s clinical judgment. Dosing was to be stopped immediately for unacceptable values (defined in protocol) of thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, all events of syncope, receipt of lung transplant, and significant arrhythmia or LV dysfunction.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Nov 2010
    The protocol was amended to specify an end date for the study and to clarify an exclusion criterion for female contraception requirements.
    17 Dec 2010
    The protocol was amended to remove the requirements for reporting pregnancy outcome from the male participant’s partner. Mandatory collection of the information could be an unwarranted intrusion into the privacy of the male participant’s partner.
    23 Jun 2012
    Relevant Data Summary was added to include the currently available clinical data, safety and tolerability data related to imatinib. Corrections of visit numbers in Section 6-Visit schedule and assessments were done. Fluid retention information for imatinib and the requirements for weight measurement and edema assessment were added. References were updated.
    14 Dec 2012
    This study has been designed to run over the course of three years. However, the current protocol mistakenly does not provide for study site visits during the final year. These visits have now been added to the assessment schedule. Patients will return to their study site twice during this period. This is an open label and requirement for an independent statistician and programmer was removed.

    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.
    In 2013, Novartis discontinued the development program of imatinib in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) due to requirement of regulatory authorities for additional data to secure marketing approval; all global extension studies were closed.
