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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 collect preliminary data on the diagnostic performance of Hypericin-guided cystoscopy regarding the detection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Standard, white light cystoscopy will be compared with Hypericin assisted cystoscopy (PVP-Hypericin instillation; white light followed by blue light (Hypericin PDD) using a within-patient design by inspecting the bladder under white light first, followed by blue light.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP). Before entering the study, the informed consent form was read by and explained to all subjects. Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Adult male and female patients with a cystoscopically suspected bladder neoplasm scheduled for transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) were screened at 10 investigational study sites (urology clinics) in 2 countries: Austria (2) and Germany (8) between 27 OCT 2011 (FPFV) and 19 JUL 2014 (LPLV).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Overall 227 patients were screened; 5 patients were screening failures (2 patients withrew their consent, 1 patient had unacceptable laboratory values, and 2 patients were not enrolled due to other reasons) and 222 patients were assigned to Hypericin PDD and TUR-B.

    Overall trial / SEP
    Reporting group description
    Safety Evaluable Population (SEP): the safety population included all treated patients with post-treatment efficacy data. The SEP was analysed mainly with respect to drug safety. Of 222 patients assigned to photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) using Hypericin and TUR-B, 50 patients were used to standardise the study procedures (training patients), and 172 patients were regular patients. 2 patients terminated the study prematurely after Visit 2. TUR-B was not done in both patients either because of the appearance of a nontolerable AE which was not related to the study medication or due to problems with the blue light of the PDD System. Among the 172 regular patients, 20 patients were included in the subgroup with PK sampling. All 222 patients (50 training patients and 172 regular patients) received a single intravesical instillation of 50 mL reconstituted solution containing 225 μg Hypericin for PDD of bladder cancer at Visit 2 (day of surgery).

    Full Analysis Set (FAS) The FAS for the efficacy analyses included all treated patients with available data to evaluate the primary endpoint. This meant, that both treatments (white light and blue light) had to be applied and the respective efficacy data were required in order to calculate the primary endpoint. This analysis set was used for the confirmatory test of the primary endpoint. Of 222 patients assigned to photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) using Hypericin and TUR-B, 50 patients were used to standardise the study procedures (training patients), and 172 patients were regular patients. Of 172 regular patients who had Hypericin PDD, 2 patients terminated the study prematurely after Visit 2.

    Diagnostic performance of Hypericin-assisted cystoscopy / Sensitivity per patient [1]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint variable was the percentage of patients in whom non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (Tis and/or Ta/T1) is detected by Hypericin-assisted cystoscopy (PVP-Hypericin instillation;white light followed by blue light) as confirmed by biopsy results. The primary endpoint was defined as the percentage of patients in whom additional non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (Tis and/or Ta/T1) could be detected by Hypericin-assisted cystoscopy compared to standard white light cystoscopy, as confirmed by biopsy results.

    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: The database does not allow for statistical analysis for studies with a single arm within-patient comparison. A confirmatory analysis was done for the primary endpoint. A confirmatory analysis (one-sided Mc- Nemar Test) was done in the FAS for the primary endpoint. All further statistical analyses were explorative.

    The false positive rate was derived as the number of false positive lesions detected with white or blue light divided by the total number of lesions suspected with white light or blue light, respectively. The false positive rate was calculated for standard white light and Hypericin PDD using the McNemar test for paired proportions.

    End point timeframe
    Blood sampling for pharmacokinetics was done frequently, 24 hour-profile, from Visit 2 (before surgery) to Visit 3 (1st post-operative day), and once on Visit 4 (7th - 8th postoperative day) to obtain a complete pharmacokinetic profile.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse events were recorded in detail (starting with insertion of the urinary catheter for instillation of PVP-Hypericin), at each post-baseline assessment (Visits 2 - 3 and Visits 2 - 4 for the sub-group with PK sampling, respectively).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Mar 2012
    The amendment was requested by Sanochemia Pharmazeutika AG after first practical experience with the protocol. Adaptations of the respective inclusion diagnosis and inclusion criteria were made. In addition, the section about sample size was changed in order to allow an increased enrolment of further training patients, if deemed necessary. Furthermore, some administrative changes were included. These changes have substantial implications on the population of patients and the conduct of the study.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
