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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    (i)To investigate differences in regional dopamine D2/3 receptor occupancy between Alzheimer's Disease, Schizophrenia Like Psychosis and Healthy Controls after 4 days treatment with amisulpride 50mg daily (ii)To investigate differences in the threshold of dopamine D2/3 receptor occupancy required for 25% symptom reduction and emergence of motor side effects in SLP and AD during 4-10 weeks treatment with amisulpride (50-200mg daily) (iii) To determine dose-response relationships (dose/plasma level/clinical outcome) in SLP and AD during dose-titration of amisulpride (50-200mg) over 4-10 weeks
    Protection of trial subjects
    The safety profile of amisulpride will be determined through the use of scales that measure side effects and form part of the efficacy assessment (see above) Evaluation will be carried out immediately prior to each dose increase (every 14+-7 days)

    Groupsd 3 (AD, SLP) will remain on a dose of 50mg daily until their next follow-up assessment (14±3 days). Follow-up assessment will be co-ordinated with clinical teams prescribing and will take place immediately prior to each dose increase (this will be determined by the prescribing clinician, the standard dose increment being 50mg at a time). Follow-up assessment will take place thereafter every 14±13 days, to coincide with each review by the prescribing team (which may be variable), over a total of 10 weeks. The maximum daily dose prescribed will be 200mg daily (taken as 100mg tablets twice daily).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Jun 2014
    This amendment also includes a non-substantial amendments to the protocol (Version 3 16 Mar 12 and version 4.0 25 Oct 12) since the initial CTA approval for the study. The following was amended – Version 3  In the original protocol, there was no mention of contraindications to amisulpride; this is now included  In the original protocol, the flowchart for group 1 did not include ECG screening; neither was it mentioned in the ‘screening’ section.; this is now included Version 4 As the study aims to use a two-scan approach to calculate occupancy between pre- and posttreatment scans; this approach will not be possible if a pre-treatment scan fails. In this situation, it is planned to estimate baseline dopamine D2/3 receptor BPND from the mean baseline BPND (age- and gender- corrected) of other participants from the same patient group during analysis.  Prolactin levels during dose-titration and the steady state component of the study will be measured. This will not require any additional procedures, as prolactin levels will be obtained from the same sample tube used to measure amisulpride levels.  Any references to Joint Clinical Trials Office changed to King’s Health Partners Clinical Trials Office throughout the protocol Protocol has been amended clarify the SmPC as the study reference document and detail that a Developmental Safety Update Report will now be submitted in place of the Annual Safety Report.
    19 Mar 2015
    Additional blood sample to be taken prior to PET scanning to allow amisulpride binding to plasma proteins to be estimated, which will inform about the fraction of ‘unbound drug’ that is free to pass from peripheral bloodstream to the central nervous system (CNS). This information will be used to inform the pharmacokinetic (non-linear mixed effect) model for amisulpride.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Groups 1 & 2 not recruited. Trial terminated due to failure to recruit, powered on the basis of imaging & aimed to detect differences in the threshold occupancy for extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) during dose titration in the 2 patient groups.
