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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 primary objective was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of SPD489 administered as a daily morning dose (20, 30, 50, and 70 milligram per day [mg/day]) as adjunctive therapy to an antidepressant for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults (18-65 years of age inclusive at the time of consent for the respective short-term antecedent SPD489 MDD study). Long-term safety was described using: • Occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), • Responses to the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), and • Specific evaluation of blood pressure and pulse rate, clinical laboratory evaluations, and electrocardiogram (ECG) results.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, as well as other applicable local ethical and legal requirements.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study enrolled eligible adults with MDD who had completed treatment in a short-term antecedent SPD489 (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) MDD study (SPD489-209 [2011-003615-28], SPD489-322 [2011-003018-17], and SPD489-323 [2011-003006-25]).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 1570 subjects were enrolled. Of these, 11 subjects excluded from the Safety Analysis Set (reasons for discontinuation were 3 subjects lost to follow up, 3 subject withdrew and 5 subjects were without a post-Visit 0 safety assessment). A total of 1559 subjects were included in Safety Analysis Set.

    Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) [1]
    End point description
    C-SSRS is a semi-structured interview that captures the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviour during the assessment period. The interview includes definitions and suggested questions to solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related thought or behaviour occurred. The assessment is done by the nature of the responses, not by a numbered scale. Safety analysis set included all subjects who took at least 1 dose of investigational product and had at least 1 post-Visit 0 (Week 0) safety assessment in this study.

    QIDS-SR is a validated, self-reported rating scale that contains 16 items scored on a scale from 0-3 with total scores ranging from 0 (no depression) to 27 (very severe depression). Lower scores indicate less depression. The QIDS-SR was only assessed in the SPD489-322 antecedent study. The QIDS-SR total score is calculated as the sum of the highest score on any 1 of Items 1-4, Item 5, the highest score on any 1 of Items 6-9, Items 10-14, the highest score on either Item 15 or 16.

    Quality of Life Enjoyment Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF)
    End point description
    The Q-LES-Q-SF is a 16-item self-report questionnaire which evaluates general subject satisfaction with health, mood, relationships, functioning in daily life, and their treatment. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good). The total raw score (summary scale score) was calculated by summing item scores 1 to 14 (total raw score range: 14 to 70). Item 15 (satisfaction with medication, raw score range: 1 to 5) and Item 16 (overall satisfaction and contentment; raw score range: 1 to 5) were stand-alone items. For reporting, summary scale, Item 15 and Item 16 raw scores were transformed into percentage maximum possible score which ranged from 0 to 100, where higher scores are indicative of greater enjoyment or satisfaction.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    11 Nov 2011
    Specified that the 4 antidepressants (background product) were to be provided by the sponsor. Clarified psychiatric disorders that were exclusionary to study participation. Specified that the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings were based on an average of 3 readings. Included medications having Central Nervous System (CNS) effects as being exclusionary to study participation. Clarified prior use of investigational product, participation in a previous clinical study, and use of commercial LDX as being exclusionary to study participation. Reduced the duration after the study that a subject was to take contraception from 30 days after the last dose of investigational product to 7 (+2) days. Specified that the management of blood pressure and pulse during the study were to be based on an average of 3 readings for each respective measurement. Updated excluded treatments to describe excluded investigational compounds and to add LDX as being an excluded treatment. Expanded permitted concomitant medications during the study to include any medication (not just over the counter medications or antibiotics) not affecting blood pressure, heart rate, or the CNS and that were considered necessary for the subject’s welfare. Specified that background product was to be taken in conjunction with investigational product. Noted which study assessments were to be performed when background product was tapered or investigational product was down-titrated. Noted that investigational product was to be stored based on the temperature range specified on the label. Added that eligible subjects who declined participation were not permitted to enroll in the study at a later date. Updated specific items of interest on the C-SSRS for the investigator to use when evaluating a subject’s suitability to remain in the study. Updated Q-LES-Q-SF version and date.
    15 Nov 2012
    Female subjects must “not have a positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG)” rather than “must have a negative β-hCG.” Specified that a female subject’s pregnancy was to be reported within 24 hours. Updated to include requirements regarding malignancy and skin cancer history exclusion. Specified that an average QT interval calculated using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) or QT interval calculated using Bazett’s formula (QTcB) interval greater than (>) 450 millisecond (msec) (males) or >470msec (females) was exclusionary to study participation. Limited use of prohibited medications to “current use” rather than “current use or prior use (during the antecedent study).” Removed the requirement that the investigator contact the contract research organization (CRO) medical monitor prior to withdrawal of the subject from investigational product. Added that, in the opinion of the investigator, changes in physical examination, clinical laboratory, or ECG results precluding treatment with SPD489 would require the subject to discontinue from the study. Specified that subjects requiring a change in MDD treatment prohibited by the protocol were discontinued from the study. Specified intervals for QTcF and QTcB for which a subject would be excluded. The following reasons for discontinuation were added under the category of “other”: – Change in background product for MDD treatment required, Treatment for MDD, or any other condition, by a prohibited medication, Other reasons for discontinuation (must be specified) Added that occasional non-chronic use of sedatives and anxiolytics was permitted. Updated window for Visit 0 (Dose Optimization) study assessments for subjects not entering this study directly from the pre-defined antecedent study. Also specified that these subjects must have signed informed consent prior to these assessments being done.
