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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 objectives of this study were to assess the safety and efficacy of AA4500 in the retreatment of recurrent contractures in joints that were effectively treated with AA4500 in a previous Auxilium-sponsored Phase 3 study.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Care After Injection To evaluate the subject for possible immediate immunological AEs, the subject was to remain in direct observation of medical personnel who were skilled in the management of acute allergic reactions for the first 20 minutes after receiving an injection of study drug. A subject could have been discharged from the study unit after a 60-minute observation period, provided: • The subject exhibited no sign of an immunological or other significant systemic or local AE and • The subject’s vital signs remained stable throughout the 60-minute observation period Before discharge, subjects were instructed not to flex or extend the fingers on the treated hand for 12 hours after the injection to prevent extravasation of AA4500 out of the cord. A soft, bulky, gauze dressing was applied to the treated hand. The dressing served as a reminder to the subject not to move the treated hand. Subjects were instructed when to remove the dressing and to inspect the treated hand for edema, sensation, and movement. The subject was instructed to contact the investigator immediately if any problems were noticed. Subjects were instructed not to manipulate the injected finger themselves. Local Anesthesia Before each finger extension procedure, the investigator could have administered local anesthesia according to the practice of his/her institution and the subject’s willingness to receive anesthesia. Local anesthesia was to be recorded as a concomitant medication.

    AA4500 was administered after reconstitution with diluent (0.9% NaCl containing 0.03% calcium chloride). The volume of injection was 0.25 mL for metacarpophalangeal (MP) joints and 0.20 mL for proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints. The investigator treated the recurrent cord affecting the joint with up to three injections of AA4500 until the outcome was deemed satisfactory by the investigator and/or the subject, or until the cord was no longer palpable. Injections of AA4500 were to be separated by approximately 28 days. Each subject in this study had only one recurrent contracture treated.
