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.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Crigler-Najjar syndrome is associated with a complete or partial hepatic deficit of bilirubin glucuronosyltransferase activity and is apparent during the neonatal period by intense jaundice. The urea cycle disorders are inborn errors of metabolism that affect the transfer of nitrogen into urea. There are six disorders: N-Acetylglutamate synthase deficiency, Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency, Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, citrullinemia, argininosuccinic aciduria and argininemia

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess the safety of one cycle of HHALPC infusions up to six months in paediatric patients suffering from CN or UCD in terms of clinical status, portal-vein hemodynamics, morphology of the liver, de novo detection of circulating anti-HLA antibodies, and/or other immune related markers as well as Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and clinically significant Adverse Events (AEs) related to infusion.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1. To assess the long term safety (up to 12 months) of one cycle of HHALPC infusions in paediatric patients (CN or UCD) in terms of clinical status, portal-vein hemodynamics, morphology of the liver, de novo detection of circulating anti-HLA antibodies, and/or other immune related markers as well as SAE’s and clinically significant AEs related to infusion.
    2. To appraise the efficacy post infusion of one cycle of HHALPC for each individual patient and for all patients for a min of 6 and up to 12 months by as compared to his/her prior medical condition.
    3. To investigate the engraftment of HHALPC in the liver (at 6 month, and optional at 12 month) by quantitative measurement of enzymatic activity on the biopsies and/or establishing donor sequences by real time PCR or in FISH or immunohistochemistry
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Sub-study PBMC_version 2.0_01 August 2012.
    Ref: Protocol UKHEP001 PBMC "Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells".

    The purpose of the study is to learn more about the kinetics of an
    immune response following infusion of undifferentiated progenitor cells
    in patients suffering from urea cycle disorder and Crigler Najjar
    syndrome.
    The study is conducted to evaluate the risk of rejection by determining
    the presence of activated T-cells against donor cells in patients after
    infusion with HepaStem. The presence or absence of activated T-cells
    might be seen as a surrogate marker of potential rejection.

    F.5 Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)
    A long term safety surveillance of the patients following infusion with HepaStem is planned. The surveillance will mimic as much as possible the standard follow-up of the respective diseases (standard of care). The surveillance in the remit of this trial, will end when the patient is undergoing an organ transplant or takes part in another research study.
