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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to assess the safety of pitavastatin 1 mg QD, 2 mg QD, and 4 mg QD in children or adolescent patients with high-risk hyperlipidaemia over a period of 52 weeks.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. Each patient was assured of his/her right to withdraw from the study at any time. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Patients were discouraged from starting any new medication, both prescribed and over-the-counter, without consulting the Investigator unless the new medication was required for emergency use. In general, any medication not excluded by the protocol was permitted.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This study included patients who completed the 12-week, double-blind study NK-104-4.01EU (EudraCT 2011-004964-32), but was also open for enrollment by eligible children and adolescents who were not enrolled in the double-blind study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    For patients who were not enrolled in the double-blind study, a 5 weeks screening/washout period occurred before the start of dosing. No screening/washout period was required for patients who entered this study upon completion of the double-blind study.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: One Patient was enrolled into the study, but withdrew consent before receiving any study drug. The patient was therefore not included in any specific dose level, but was included in the patient total.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 May 2012
    Amendment 2 (Protocol v3.0) was written to modify the language about removing patients from the study due to failure to achieve the target LDL-C level of <130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L). Due to the lack of approved statin treatments available to paediatric patients at the time the study began, the study Investigators requested that they have discretion to maintain children in the trial if it was felt that there was no better therapy available outside the confines of the trial, rather than being required to withdraw them based solely on the LDL-C levels achieved. After the Investigator Meeting, this proposed modification to the study was presented to and supported by the independent DMC for this study.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
