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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of 400 units NT 201 compared with placebo in the first double-blind treatment cycle, and to investigate the safety of 400 units NT 201 administered in three subsequent open-label treatment cycles.
    Protection of trial subjects
    High medical and ethical standards were followed in accordance with Good Clinical Practice and other applicable regulations. In addition, an independent data monitoring committee was in charge of monitoring patient safety while the study was ongoing.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 331 individuals suffering from post-stroke lower-limb spasticity were screened and 290 were included in study at 51 sites. One ineligible subject was randomized to placebo but withdrawn from study prior to first treatment with study medication. For purpose of study analysis overall number of subjects enrolled is therefore considered 289.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 289 subjects were enrolled in main period. All of the 269 subjects who completed the main period of the study entered the open-label extension period.

    End point description
    The AS is a well known and commonly used scale in clinical trials with spasticity. It was considered to be the best clinical tool for measuring resistance to movement. It was used to categorize the severity of spasticity by judging resistance to passive movement. It is a 5-point scale that ranges from 0 (=no increase in tone) to 4 (=limb rigid in flexion or extension). Full Analysis Set: Subset of subjects in the Safety Evaluation Set (SES) of the main period for whom the primary efficacy variable was available, whereby SES is the subset of all subjects who were exposed to IP in the main period at least once.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 Aug 2011
    The overall reason for the amendment was to fulfil a post marketing commitment (PMC) for Xeomin in the United States. A co-primary endpoint was added, the ‘Investigator’s Global Assessment of Efficacy’. This scale had been part of the Study Protocol as tertiary outcome measure before. Accordingly, details on the analyses of the primary endpoint(s) were updated. The Ashworth Scale (AS) and the co-primary endpoint were only to be co-analyzed for United States submission and both had to show significant treatment differences.
    16 May 2014
    The overall reason for the amendment was to implement a revision of sample-size calculation and to implement current updates of approval status, safety information and statistical methods.
