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   43861   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 ).

    Arm description
    Subjects (from trial NN7088-3859) undergoing major surgery received bleeding preventive treatment with N8-GP before, during and after surgery. The total duration of the trial was 2-5 weeks. Upon completion of this trial, subjects returned to trial NN7088-3859.

    Dosage and administration details
    The trial product was administered as a slow bolus intravenous injection. The administrations were performed both at home and in hospital. Dosing was done at the investigators’ discretion (except a fixed dose of 50 IU/kg at screening visit). The dose level of N8-GP during this trial was chosen following the coagulation factor 8 (FVIII) activity levels recommended by World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) guidelines. Higher levels could be necessary depending on type of surgery and standard practice at site. The WFH guidelines for desired FVIII levels in major surgery are as follows: pre-surgery (day 0): 80−100%; post-surgery days 1−3: 60−80%; days 4−6: 40−60%; days 7−14: 30−50%. For treatment of a bleeding episode, all subjects were treated with doses between 20−75 IU/kg. The maximum dose to be administered to a subject within 24 hours was 200 IU/kg.

    Haemostatic effect during surgery evaluated by the four-point scale, assessed by the Investigator/surgeon at the day of surgery - Four-point response scale: excellent, good, moderate or none [1]
    End point description
    Haemostatic effect during surgery was evaluated on a four-point response scale as ‘none’, ‘moderate’, ‘good’ and ‘excellent’. This was assessed after completion of surgery (defined as “last stitch”). Excellent: Better than expected/predicted in this type of procedure. Good: As expected in this type of procedure. Moderate: Less than optimal for the type of procedure but haemostatic response maintained without change of treatment regimen. None: Bleeding due to inadequate therapeutic response with adequate dosing, change of regimen required. Analysis population: Full analysis set included all subjects exposed to the trial drug (N8-GP) and completed surgeries.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Dec 2011
    Amendment was issued primarily as a response to a Voluntary Harmonised Procedure (VHP) assessment. Minor adjustment to the protocol have been made. Also changes to the Subject Information/Informed Consent are reflected in this amendment
    13 Apr 2012
    This protocol amendment was issued primarily to change the requirement for the timing of the pre-operative loading dose and secondarily to align with the NN7088-3859 (pathfinderTM2) substantial protocol amendment issued simultaneously. In conjunction other minor clarifications to the protocol has also been included.
    21 Jan 2014
    1. Addition of a trial site 2. Decision that the present trial would remain open to ensure that subjects participating in the NN7088- 3859 trial (including extension parts) would have the opportunity to undergo major surgery. Thus, patients would be offered to continue on N8-GP until commercially available ensuring that they could undergo surgery without having to switch product. 3. Withdrawal criteria was amended to allow subjects with a low titre inhibitor (≤5 BU), that did not result in clinically ineffective treatment with N8-GP, to continue in the trial. 4. Minor surgery definitions aligned with trial NN7088-3859. 5. Israel added to country list. 6. Text updated to reflect what the subject had consented to regarding storage of samples (if allowed by local law). 7. Responsibilities regarding labelling and packing of trial product were updated. 8. Text regarding serious adverse events was specified.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
