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   43857   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
    To assess the clinical safety, immunogenicity and tolerability of Ruconest in the treatment of acute angioedema attacks in 2-13 year old HAE patients.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All study-related procedures were to be hosted in a familiar environment in facilities selected for childcare: the staff were to be trained in communicating to and looking after (young) children and their legal representatives. All study-related procedures (e.g. blood samplings) were to be optimized and modeled in order to minimize risk and distress. Age appropriate information was to be given to the child and his/her representatives prior to any investigations or procedures. Eventual changes in the procedures were to be announced to them well in advance. For blood sampling it was recommended, for the sake of patient's comfort, to use butterfly needles and to place a catheter during the time of hospitalization for easy blood collection. Also, applying a topical anesthetic before catheter placement was to be considered.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Male and female patients, from 2 up to and including 13 years of age with a clinically suspected and/or confirmed diagnosis of HAE will be recruited for this study. Patients will be identified and invited to participate by the investigators at the respective study centers.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Pts with a med hist of HAE (age 2-13 yrs) were invited for a screening visit. At screening the diagnosis HAE was confirmed via Central lab testing. If the diagnosis was confirmed, pts were eligible for treatment if an acute attack would occur and they presented to study center within 5 hrs of onset of attack. Total: 63 scr, 57 eligible, 20 treated

    Time to beginning of relief [1]
    End point description
    Time to beginning of relief for all attacks is presented.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Time to beginning of relief of symptoms that showed the response to treatment based on the overall VAS score decrease of ≥ 20 mm from baseline.
    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: As this was an open-label single arm study, no statistical analyses could be provided. The pre defined endpoint was to show relief of symptoms, which was defined as a reduction of ≥ 20 mm on VAS compared the baseline VAS score. In the result section the median time to beginning of relief in minutes is presented with the 95% CI. No comparison has been against a control or placebo group, so therefore no statistical analyses could be presented.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    25 Aug 2011
    This amendment was implemented in order to ensure consistent evaluation of the VAS and TEQ efficacy parameters, as it was agreed with the FDA for a concurrent study. Furthermore, in order to obtain consistent immungenicity safety data, anti-rabbit IgE antibody testing is added to the immunology test-panel at Day 28. Also, following remarks from Ethics Committees and Competent Authorities, various corrections are implemented.
    27 Oct 2011
    This amendment corrects the investigator's score to reflect the more refined analysis of attack locations. It also specifies the analysis of anti-rabbit epithelium IgE, which assessment was added previously.
    09 Nov 2012
    This amendment updates the section about sponsor personnel and stipulates that pregnancies have to be reported as SAE; this has been added to the safety section. Also, some (minor) textual corrections have been made.
    10 Jun 2014
    The amendment describes administrative changes. The Pharming Project Manager has been changes as well as the Pharmacovigilance contact details.
    15 Aug 2014
    This amendment is prepared upon request of the Czech Republic Competent Authorities (SUKL) and includes country specific updates in the sections of blood sampling procedures to ensure compliance with the guidelines, extension of the reasons for withdrawal and the usage of contraception is removed because sexual intercourse at persons until the age of 15 is illegal in the Czech Republic.
