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   43977   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7312   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
    Core Study To demonstrate that the efficacy of E5501 (in addition to standard of care) is superior to placebo (in addition to standard of care) for the treatment of adult participants with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) (ITP) as measured by cumulative number of weeks of platelet response over 6 months of once daily treatment in adults participants who received at least 1 prior ITP therapy. Extension Phase To evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term therapy with E5501 in participants with chronic ITP (cITP)
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOPs) of the sponsor (or designee), which are designed to ensure adherence to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines as required by the following: • Principles of the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki, October 2008 • ICH E6 Guideline for GCP (CPMP/ICH/135/95) of the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products, Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products, International Conference on Harmonisation of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use • Title 21 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (US 21 CFR) regarding clinical studies, including Part 50 and Part 56 concerning informed participant consent and IRB regulations and applicable sections of US 21 CFR Part 312 • A waiver from the IRB(s)/IEC(s) was obtained before study initiation for non-US studies conducted under an Investigational New Drug (IND) application. • European Good Clinical Practice Directive 2005/28/EC and Clinical Trial Directive 2001/20/EC for studies conducted within any European Union (EU) country. All suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) were reported, as required, to the Competent Authorities of all involved EU member states.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    15 Jun 2012
    The ability of participants to be permanently discontinued at the discretion of the investigator after 7 days of therapy at the maximum dose if they had dangerously low platelet counts. • P-gP wording was revised to include strong P-gP inhibitor was to be added to avatrombopag therapy or if the dose of a concomitantly administered strong P-gP inhibitor was altered, platelet counts would be monitored weekly for the next 3 weeks in the event a dose adjustment of avatrombopag was required. • Wording was added to the inclusion criteria that patients with neutrophil counts above the reference range may be enrolled upon review and discussion with the Eisai medical monitor. • The fasting gastrin-17 exclusion requirement was increased to 1.5 times ULN for those participants on PPIs or H2 antagonists. Eisai Confidential Page 91 of 2178 Clinical Study Report E5501-G000-302 • Time-to-first bleeding event and time-to-first bleeding event with WHO Bleeding Scale score endpoints were included to align the current study with analyses planned in the E5501-G000-305 study. • Repeat screening laboratory evaluations due to potential laboratory error or a transient and/or reversible condition were to be made available prior to Randomization. • The ability to remove participants based on gastric biomarkers was added. • Lack of treatment effect was defined to allow participants with very low platelet counts to discontinue earlier due to lack of treatment effect and continue into the Extension Phase. • A follow-up endoscopy was requested if there was a significant abnormal endoscopy during the study.
    25 Mar 2013
    • A secondary objective was made an exploratory objective. • The secondary objective for the Extension Phase to assess the reduction in the use of steroids and concomitant ITP medication in participants receiving avatrombopag was removed. • The effectiveness assessments for the Extension Phase were revised. • The key secondary endpoint was redefined as exploratory. • The target sample size was changed to 45 participants. • The criterion that 35% of splenectomized participants will be enrolled in the study was removed. • The inclusion criterion for participants enrolling in the Extension Phase to align with study completion was clarified. • The population PK/PD analysis was revised • Study completion was defined
