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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    Primary objective was to compare the efficacy of aripiprazole with placebo in the suppression of tics in children and adolescents (7-17 years) with a diagnosis of Tourette’s Disorder. The primary efficacy measure is change from Baseline to endpoint (Week 8) on the Total Tic score (TTS) of the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS). Secondary efficacy measures included Clinical Global Impressions Scale for Tourette’s Syndrome (CGI-TS) and Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome - Quality of Life Scale (GTS-QOL). The secondary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of aripiprazole once-weekly treatment with oral tablets in children and adolescents with Tourette's Disorder.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was conducted in compliance with the protocol, International Conference on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP), and applicable local laws and regulatory requirements.

    Primary: Mean change from Baseline to Week 8 in Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) total tic score

    End point title
    		 Mean change from Baseline to Week 8 in Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) total tic score [1]
    End point description
    The YGTSS is a semi-structured clinical interview designed to measure current tic severity. This scale consisted of a tic inventory, with 5 separate rating scales to rate the severity of symptoms, and an impairment ranking. Ratings were made along 5 different dimensions on a scale of 0 to 5 for motor and vocal tics, each including number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference. The total tic score (TTS) ranged from 0 (none) to 50 (severe) with higher score for more severe symptoms (greater reduction from baseline for greater improvement). The YGTSS ranking of impairment, with a maximum of 50 points, is based on the impact of the tic disorder on areas of self esteem, family life, social acceptance and school scores. This is a fully validated scale in adults and has become a standard instrument for the evaluation of the severity of Tourette’s Disorder in children. In an Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population, participants were randomly assigned to the double-blind treatment.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: No statistical analyses were defined for this endpoint because the trial was discontinued by the sponsor with a much smaller sample size than originally planned.

    The severity of illness and efficacy of study medication for each participant were rated using the CGI-TS scale. The study physician were to rate the participants total improvement whether or not it is due to study treatment. All responses were compared to the participants condition at Baseline (Day 0). Response choices include: 0 = not assessed, 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, and 7 = very much worse.

    The GTS-QOL is a disease-specific patient-reported scale for the measurement of health-related quality of life in participants with Tourette’s Disorder, taking into account the complexity of the clinical picture of the disease. The questionnaire consists of a 27-item Tourette’s Disorder-specific scale with 4 subscales (psychological, physical, obsessional, and cognitive). The GTS-QOL total score ranged from 0 (extremely dissatisfied with life) and 100 (extremely satisfied with life).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    14 Feb 2013
    In protocol amendment 1, substantial revisions were made such as; To remove the option of allowing subjects to roll over into Study 31-10-274 if they terminated early due to lack of efficacy at Week 5 or later in the previous trial; To clarify the criteria for the exclusion of subjects based on QTc values; To increase the expected duration of the entire trial;To update the statistical methods; To clarify the process of breaking the blind; To update the sample handling for blood for metabolic profiling; To update the protocol with new OPDC standard sections on reporting of product quality complaints.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    03 Sep 2013
    The trial was terminated early based on the review of the recent data from placebo-controlled Trial 31-10-272 (aripiprazole QW) relative to the results of the placebo-controlled Trial 31-12-293 (aripiprazole once daily [QD]) in subjects with TD. The aripiprazole QW formulation was found to be statistically superior to placebo in Trial 31-10-272, but the demonstrated efficacy was not as robust as that observed with the QD formulation. Therefore, OPDC discontinued trial 31-10-273 because the aripiprazole QW formulation will not be pursued for the treatment of TD. Importantly, the trial closure was unrelated to any safety issues (no signals or items of concern have been identified).
