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   43843   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 investigate the effect of repeat oral dosing of CNV1014802 on the pain experienced in trigeminal neuralgia (TG).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to evaluations being performed for eligibility. Subjects were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study. Through the informed consent process each subject was made aware of the purpose of the study, the procedures, the benefits and risks of the study, the discomforts and the precautions taken. Any side effects or other health issues occurring during the study were followed up by the study doctor. Subjects were able to stop taking part in the study at any time without giving any reason. Subjects could discontinue the study at any time due to an adverse event. Because of the severe nature of the pain associated with TN, subjects are unlikely to accept extended periods of placebo treatment. Therefore, a two-stage enriched randomized withdrawal design was selected for the study, whereby responders to CNV1014802 are identified in an initial open-label phase, and eligible responders are randomised to a second, placebo-controlled, double blind, withdrawal phase. Any subjects who were not responders in the initial open-label period were discontinued from the study and did not enter the randomized withdrawal period. Placebo was incorporated into the study as a control. However, as treatment failure was the primary outcome, subjects who received placebo and did not achieve pain relief (despite availability of rescue medication) were rapidly discontinued from the study and standard therapy re-introduced.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Of the 44 patients who completed the open-label phase, 30 were eligible for randomisation to the double-blind phase. One subject was randomised but did not receive a dose of double-blind medication, therefore, the number of subjects in the double-blind phase that received at least 1 dose of study medication was 29 (the Intent-to-treat [ITT] population).

    Number of Subjects Reaching Treatment Failure in the Double-blind Period
    End point description
    Subjects were classified as a treatment failure if they met one of the following criteria: - 50% increase in the frequency of paroxysms compared to the final 7 days of the open-label period, to more than 3 paroxysms - When more than 3 paroxysms were reported in a 7-day period, a 50% increase in the severity of pain experienced in the paroxysms compared with the final 7 days of the open-label period - A Patient Global Improvement of Change rating of much worse/very much worse - The subject discontinued the study due to 'lack of efficacy' in the double-blind phase. (Any subject who took more than 1 dose of a prohibited oral sodium channel blocker to treat their TN was considered to be a treatment failure and was withdrawn from the study due to lack of efficacy.) - The subject discontinued due to an adverse reaction or poor tolerability. ITT population: subjects who were randomized and received a dose of double blind medication.

    Change From Baseline Brief Pain Inventory - Facial (BPI-F)
    End point description
    The BPI-F is a reliable and validated multidimensional tool that consists of 18 questions. It measures 3 domains of pain: 1) pain intensity (worst and average pain intensity), 2) interference with general activities of daily living (ADL), and 3) face-specific pain interference. The BPI-F was used as an assessment measure for quality of life in TG subjects. The BPI-F uses an 11-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (no pain/interference) to 10 (worst pain /interference imaginable). ITT population: subjects who were randomized and received a dose of double blind medication. n=number of subjects with available data at given time point.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    07 May 2012
    The protocol was amended to increase the age limit of subjects to 80 years of age. The rationale for this amendment was that TN is a condition that is associated with increasing age. Many subjects are diagnosed in the 60-70 year age range and consequently the population of subjects requiring treatment extends into subjects aged 80 and older. Following review of the demographic data for TN subjects the sponsor changed the maximum age for inclusion in this study to 80 years. The population within the study would therefore more closely reflect the final intended target population.
    27 Mar 2013
    1) Addition of a genotyping sample. The rationale was that a genetic substrate for neuropathic pain is an accepted hypothesis in the scientific community. Recently, sodium channel gene mutations causing cell hyperexcitability have been identified in groups of subjects with painful neuropathy. Calcium channelopathies have also been linked to migraine and epilepsy. Given the importance of sodium and calcium channels in the generation, propagation and plasticity of pain signals, it was decided to genotype five sodium channel (Nav1.1, Nav1.2, Nav1.3, Nav1.6 and Nav1.7) and two calcium channel (Cav2.2 and Cav2.1) genes in all subjects entering the study to explore whether mutations in these genes are present in TN and whether these are related to response to treatment with CNV1014802. Genotyping was not mandatory for subjects participating in the study and was carried out for research purposes only. 2) Clarification of Withdrawal criteria for Primary Endpoint. This amendment updated the primary endpoint withdrawal criteria to require at least three paroxysms within a 7 day period to be experienced and that thereafter a 50% increase in either the number of paroxysms or in severity of pain would result in the need to withdraw subjects. Data from the planned interim analysis on the first 10 subjects treated in the open label indicated that some subjects had a very marked response to CNV1014802, such that they had no paroxysms in the final week of open label treatment. To avoid withdrawing subjects who only had one paroxysm in a 7 day period, the withdrawal criterion concerning number of paroxysms was changed to require at least three paroxysms/7 day period and thereafter a 50% increase in number or severity of paroxysms. The other withdrawal criteria remained unchanged.
    15 Aug 2013
    Increase Subject numbers. The number of subjects recruited to the open-label period of the study was increased from up to 40 subjects to up to 70 subjects. The target recruitment for the trial was to randomize 30 subjects with TN. At the outset of the trial, Convergence estimated that 'Approximately 40 subjects will be recruited into the open-label period to aim to randomize 30 subjects into the double-blind phase'. At the time of the amendment, 37 subjects had been enrolled into the open-label treatment period of study and only 14 had been eligible for randomisation to the double-blind period. It was apparent from the enrolment at this time point that a greater number of subjects would be required to enter the open-label treatment period than was stated in the protocol.
