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   43858   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Pilot study examining the efficacy and safety of transplanting ex vivo expanded corneal epithelial limbal stem cells on Amniotic Membrane (AM) as a procedure to restore sight and relieve pain for patients with severe Ocular Surface Disease (OSD) arising from Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD). Aim was to: •Generate the data required for reliable sample size calculations for subsequent studies •Evaluate all the practicalities and logistics of the study including the recruitment process, follow-up procedures, data collection and analysis •Obtain information on actual recruitment rate •The study also aimed to obtain preliminary answers to the following questions:- •Is transplantation of ex vivo expanded corneal limbal stem cells feasible, efficient and safe? •Does this procedure lead to improvements in vision and quality of the ocular surface? •How does immunosuppression and limbal stem cell transplantation compare with using immunosuppression and amniotic membrane alone?
    Protection of trial subjects
    Bandage contact lens was placed atop the graft for comfort and protection, also Botox injections were applied to the affected eye lid this induced temporary ptosis which aimed to facilitate the survival of the graft and to protect the epithelium, also a short course of topical antibiotic and steroid eye drops were prescribed to be applied to the affected eye, post surgery.
    Background therapy
    		 Immunosuppressive therapy was tailored according to the patient’s individual clinical response. • Prednisolone: Initial dose of 60 mg daily tapering at 5mg weekly until 10 mg maintenance dosage plus • Cyclosporine: Initial dose of 100 mg twice a day then tapered to 50mg twice a day or • Mycophenolate mofetil. Dose between 750mg to 1g twice a day Further, prior to surgery, each patient made a single autologous donation of blood. This allowed preparation of autologous serum eye drops for the patient’s own use post-surgery.
    Evidence for comparator
    		 The control product amniotic membrane (AM) is a used extensively to treat ocular surface disorders. It is hypothesised that immunosuppressive therapy and AM alone may allow ocular surface reconstruction by eliminating the inflammatory environment that is detrimental to the function of stem cells. Therefore, one group of patients received donor derived ex vivo expanded corneal limbal stem cells on AM and immunosuppressive therapy, and the second group received AM graft and immunosuppressive therapy.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Recruitment started on 1st July 2011 and ceased early due to slow recruitment at 17 patients, amendment to cease recruitment approved by the MHRA 09/12/2014. A total of 30 patients were screened for the trial of whom 13 were either not suitable (6) or declined (7). 17 were enrolled of whom 16 were treated (one patient withdrew prior to treatment)

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Subjects diagnosed with LSCD were screened for inclusion in trial in compliance with inclusion/exculsion criteria defined in study protocol LSC001. Informed consent for participation in trial gained prior to any study related procedures taking place.

    The randomisation schedule was generated using Random Permuted Blocks (Pocock S. 1993). Neither the patient, nor the study staff performing the post-operative evaluations, knew to which treatment group they had been allocated. The randomisation was only broken by the Pharmacovigilance Manager at the end of the study, or would have been in the event of an unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SAR)

    Each product was considered to be a single ‘dose’ based with ≥200mm2 macroscopic outgrowth and a diameter ≥15mm in all directions. Administration was via the removal of abnormal tissue over the cornea and the conjunctiva resected and recessed. The graft was placed atop the defect and the edge sewn to the peripheral cornea with 10-0 nylon. The posterior peripheral edge of the AM was sewn to the resected and recessed conjunctiva. A second AM was sewn on top of the product and a bandage contact lens placed to help protect the cells. One of the explants was sewn in the 12 o’clock position. The AMs dissolved gradually and the stem cells establish to the grafted surface

    Control AM for transplantation alone was prepared using an identical technique as for the IMP Allogeneic Ex-vivo Expanded Corneal Epithelial Stem Cells on AM, the AM was administered in the same way as the IMP arm. Each cultured AM was considered to be a single ‘dose’. Administration was via the removal of abnormal tissue over the cornea and the conjunctiva resected and recessed. The graft was placed atop the defect and the edge sewn to the peripheral cornea with 10-0 nylon. The posterior peripheral edge of the AM was sewn to the resected and recessed conjunctiva. A second amniotic membrane was sewn on top of the product and a bandage contact lens placed to help protect the graft.

All patients showed lower (improved) ocular surface scores at the conclusion of the trial. However, only patients in the test arm who received the IMP Allogeneic Ex-vivo Expanded Corneal Epithelial Stem Cells on Amniotic Membrane product showed a statistically significant higher mean improvement in combined ocular surface score.

    End point description
    Quality of life (QoL) assessments using the SF-36 scoring system were analysed as a whole data set, and as delta in each patient relative to each individual’s starting score in each category. There were no statistically significant changes in QoL scoring throughout the trial. The one exception was a significant decrease at 6 months (p= 0.0024) in the Social Function component of the SF36 score which returned to non-significance over baseline thereafter. This likely contributed to a trend towards initial reduction in overall SF-36 score at 6 months which recovered subsequently. Although there was fluctuation over time, SF-36 scores closely tracked to the pre-trial baseline levels by the end of the study

    12/13 patients showed normal WBC levels throughout the study. 1 patient with chemical injury had an elevated WBC – this patient had ongoing ocular inflammation and had to be withdrawn from the study for corneal transplant. Patients could be stratified into normal or high serum cytokines at the start of the study – the normal group consisted of chemical burns patients and the one patient with autoimmune disease, while the high group consisted of all aniridia patients, 2 chemical burns, and the other patient with an autoimmune disease (pemphigus). In the high cytokine group, IL-8 was highly elevated in all patients, but IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha levels were not increased. The high group also showed variably increased levels of IL-2, 4, 10 and 12, but there was no consistent pattern. There was no correlation between IL-8 levels and WBC. the results of this post hoc analysis are appended.
