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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 3 doses of AVP-923 capsules containing either 45 mg DM and 10 mg Q (AVP-923-45) or 30 mg DM 10 mg Q (AVP-923-30) or 20 mg DM and 10 mg Q (AVP-923-20) compared to placebo, for the treatment of central neuropathic pain in a population of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) over a 12-week period.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Ethics committees met the guidelines set out by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and conformed to local laws and customs where appropriate. Written institutional review board (IRB) approval for the protocol and the signed informed consent form (ICF) were obtained and transmitted to Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or their representative before the study was initiated. The IRB was informed of and approved all protocol amendments. Modifications that eliminated an apparent immediate hazard to patients did not require preapproval by the IRB/IEC. Standards for Good Clinical Practice, as outlined by regional regulations, were adhered to for all study-based procedures. The investigator ensured that this study was conducted in full conformance with the laws and regulations of the United States. Informed consent followed the principles outlined in the current version of the Helsinki Declaration. Each patient found to be eligible for the study was properly informed of the purpose of the study. The patient was alerted to any anticipated adverse event (AE) that may be encountered with the study drug. A signed ICF was obtained from all patients (or their authorized representative if enrolled prior to Amendment 2 of the protocol) prior to patient entry into this study. Patients were provided with a copy of their signed ICF (except for patients enrolled prior to Amendment 1 of the protocol).

    Association between the Dextromethorphan (DM) Plasma Concentration and the Change from Baseline Pain Rating Scale Score to the Average Pain Rating Scale Score during Days 57 through 84
    End point description
    The association between the DM plasma concentration and the change from Baseline (BL) PRS score to the average PRS score during Days 57 through 84 was measured. The PRS requires participants (par.) to rate their pain over the past 12 hours on a scale of 0 to 10 (0=no pain; 10=worst possible pain) by circling the number that best describes their pain on average over the past 12 hours. Baseline (BL) PRS was defined as the average of the PRS scores in the last 7 days collected prior to the BL visit. Post-BL PRS is the average of the Day 57 through 84 values. For par. who did not have any PRS scores during Days 57 through 84, the average of the last 7 available post-BL PRS scores was used. Change from BL was calculated as the post-BL score minus the BL score. Modified Intention-To-Treat (MITT) Population: all par. in the ITT Population (randomized participants) who received >=1 dose of study drug, provided a BL PRS score, and had >=1 post-BL PRS assessment. 999=data not available.

    End point description
    The PRS requires participants to rate their pain over the past 12 hours on a scale of 0 to 10 (0=no pain; 10=worst possible pain) by circling the number that best describes their pain on average over the past 12 hours. Baseline PRS was defined as the average of the PRS scores in the last 7 days collected prior to the Baseline visit. If participants did not have at least 4 PRS scores during the last 7 days prior to the Baseline visit, then the average of up to 7 of the most recent PRS scores available prior to the Baseline visit was used. Post-Baseline PRS is the average of the Day 57 through 84 values. For participants who did not have any PRS scores during Days 57 through 84, the average of the last 7 available post-Baseline PRS scores was used. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline score minus the Baseline score. PRS score change from baseline to Days 57-84 was the dependent variable, treatment group was a fixed effect, and the baseline PRS score was a covariate.

    Secondary: Change From Baseline in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) Scores

    End point title
    Change From Baseline in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) Scores
    End point description
    The FSS questionnaire contains 9 statements that attempt to explore the severity of fatigue symptoms in participants with MS and other conditions, including chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus, and is designed to differentiate fatigue from clinical depression because both share some of the same symptoms. Participants were asked to respond to each statement on a scale of 1 to 7, with 1 indicating “Strongly Disagree” and 7 indicating “Strongly Agree.” The total score is computed as the sum of the sub-scores for all 9 statements; a higher score indicates increasing fatigue. Baseline (BL) is defined as last non-missing measurement prior to dosing. Change from BL is calculated as the post-BL value minus the BL value. Only participants with a value at both the BL visit and the specific post-BL visit have been included in the analysis. FSS change from BL was the dependent variable, treatment group was a fixed effect, and the BL FSS was a covariate.

    Secondary: Change From Baseline in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Scores

    Close Top of page
    End point title
    Change From Baseline in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Scores
    End point description
    The EDSS is a method of quantifying disability in participants with MS. It is based on neurological examination of 8 functional systems (FS) (pyramidal, cerebellar, brainstem, sensory, bowel and bladder, visual, cerebral, and other) that allows neurologists to assign a FS score to each of these systems. Neurological findings in each FS are scored on a scale of 0 (low level of problems) to 5 (high level of problems). The “other” category is not rated numerically but measures disability related to a particular issue, like motor loss. A total EDSS score is then calculated on a scale of 0 (normal) to 10 (death from MS). The total EDSS score is determined by 2 factors: gait and FS scores. A higher score indicates greater disability. Baseline (BL) is defined as last non-missing measurement prior to dosing. Change from BL is calculated as the post-BL value minus the BL value. Only participants with a value at both the BL visit and the specific post-BL visit were included in the analysis.

    Change From Baseline in Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29) Scores
    End point description
    The MSIS-29 is an instrument measuring the physical (20 items) and psychological (9 items) impact of MS from the participant' perspective and is used to evaluate therapeutic effectiveness from the participants' perspective. Participants were asked to circle the response that best described the impact of MS on daily life on a scale of 0 (not at all) to 5 (extremely). The total MSIS-29 score is calculated as the sum of the sub-scores for all 29 questions, with lower scores indicating better quality of life. Baseline is defined as last non-missing measurement prior to dosing. Change from Baseline is calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. For participants with missing data at Day 85, the last available value has been used. MSIS change from Baseline to Day 85 was the dependent variable, treatment group was a fixed effect, and the Baseline MSIS was a covariate.

    Change From Baseline in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Scores
    End point description
    The PSQI is a self-rated questionnaire that assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. A total of 19 individual items generate 7 component scores: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each component is scored from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty). The sum of the scores for the 7 components yields 1 global score (from 0 to 21). A higher PSQI score indicates worse quality of sleep. Baseline (BL) is defined as last non-missing measurement prior to dosing. Change from BL is calculated as the post-BL value minus the BL value. Only participants with a value at both the BL visit and the specific post-BL visit were included in the analysis. For participants with missing data at Day 85, the last available value was used. PSQI change from BL was the dependent variable, treatment group was a fixed effect, and the BL PQIS was a covariate.

    Change From Baseline in MS Neuropsychological Screening Questionnaire (MSNQ) Scores
    End point description
    The MSNQ is a self-reporting, 15-item questionnaire developed to screen for cognitive impairment in participants with MS. Participants (or their informants) scored each item on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (often and greatly interferes with life). The total MSNQ score is calculated as the sum of the sub-scores for all 15 questions and thus ranges from 0 to 60. A higher score indicates greater impairment. Baseline is defined as last non-missing measurement prior to dosing. Change from Baseline is calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Only participants with a value at both the Baseline visit and the specific post-Baseline visit have been included in the analysis. For participants with missing data at Day 85, the last available value has been used. MSNQ change from Baseline to Day 85 was the dependent variable, treatment group was a fixed effect, and the Baseline MSNQ was a covariate.

    Change From Baseline in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) Scores
    End point description
    The BDI-II is a 21-item, self-reported instrument intended to assess the existence and severity of symptoms of depression. Each item corresponds to a symptom of depression and is scored on a 4-point scale, ranging from 0 to 3. Participants are asked to consider each statement as it relates to the way they have felt for the past 2 weeks. Each of the 21 items is summed to give a single score (ranging from 0 to 63). A total score of 0 to 13 indicates minimal depression, a score of 14 to 19 indicates mild depression, a score of 20 to 28 indicates moderate depression, and a score of 29 to 63 indicates severe depression. Baseline (BL) is defined as last non-missing measurement prior to dosing. Change from BL is calculated as the post-BL value minus the BL value. Only participants with a value at both the BL visit and the specific post-BL visit have been included in the analysis. For participants with missing data at Day 85, the last available value has been used.

    Change From Baseline in Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) Scores
    End point description
    The SDMT assesses organic cerebral dysfunction in both children (8 years and older) and adults. The SDMT involves a simple substitution task that normal participants can easily perform. Using a reference key, the examinee has 90 seconds to pair specific numbers with given geometric figures. The SDMT score is the total correct response (not counting errors) in 90 seconds and ranges from 0 to 110. Lower scores indicate increased dysfunction. Baseline is defined as last non-missing measurement prior to dosing. Change from Baseline is calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Only participants with a value at both the Baseline visit and the specific post-Baseline visit have been included in the analysis. For participants with missing data at Day 85, the last available value has been used. SDMT change from Baseline to Day 85 was the dependent variable, treatment group was a fixed effect, and the Baseline SDMT was a covariate.

    • The total number of sites was increased from approximately 65 sites to approximately 90 sites. • Eligibility criteria were updated. • Text was added stating that a sponsor may withdraw a participant from the study for administrative reasons. • The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) were added as efficacy assessments. • A definition for compliance was added. • A modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT) population was added to the analysis populations. • An additional pharmacokinetic sample collection was added to Visit 4 (Day 50). • Text was removed stating that the study drug could be administered by the caregiver and that the caregiver could complete the participant’s diaries. • The stabilization period for multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapy was reduced to at least 2 months before randomization from at least 3 months before randomization. • Text was added stating that oral steroids at a stable dose prior to randomization were allowed as long as the dose remained unchanged during the study. • Acetaminophen up to 2600 mg/day was replaced with ibuprofen up to 800 mg/day as a permitted rescue pain medication. • It was clarified that participants should not begin recording their daily pain score until the 1-week washout period was completed, if applicable. • Informants (i.e., a person having contact with the participant at least 3 times a week) could not complete the Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Screening Questionnaire (MSNQ). • It was clarified that an MS relapse or acute exacerbation was defined as symptoms causing significant change in functional ability or in sensory function. • Randomization was stratified by geographic region instead of by center. Dynamic allocation was handled by interactive voice response system (IVRS). • Text in the introduction was reorganized, deleted, and added. • Records of all investigational product dispensing were in the eCRF.
    24 Apr 2013
    • The sample size was updated to 200 patients from 400 participants. • Due to the decreased sample size, the primary efficacy endpoint was updated from the change from baseline PRS scores to an assessment of the correlation between DM Cmax and change from baseline PRS scores. The key secondary efficacy endpoint changed from change in Fatigue Severity Scores (FSS) to the change from baseline PRS scores. The change in FSS scores was still included as an additional secondary endpoint. • Participants who participated in an interventional clinical study within the past 30 days were excluded from participating in the study; the previous version stated that participating in any clinical study was exclusionary. • Participants with evidence of uncontrolled diabetes based on HbA1c >53 millimoles/mole (mmol/mol) (>7.0%) were excluded from the study; in previous versions, participants with HbA1c <53 mmol/mol (>7.0%) were excluded from participating. • Height and weight were added to the vital sign measurements. • It was clarified that AEs reported after receiving the last dose of study drug would be followed up until resolution or until stabilization of the event had occurred. • Text stating that participant instructions would be reviewed in person and that written instructions would be provided to the participant or their caregiver was removed. • It was clarified that concomitant medication use should not be entered in the patient diary card, as this information was captured in the electronic Case Report Form.
