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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    To identify an optimal dose interval with respect to efficacy and safety for the ALK tree AIT in adults and adolescents with moderate to severe birch pollen induced allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Rescue medication for residual sypmtoms allowed Ongoing safety surveillance
    Background therapy
    		 Subjects received open-labelled pharmacotherapy for rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms. In case of asthma symptoms, subjects were free to use their regular controller and reliever medications.
    Evidence for comparator

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The trial included 65 sites in 7 European countries: Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden. 773 subjects were screened and 637 subjects were randomised.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 136 subjects were screening failures. Common reasons for screening failures were negative SPT to Betula verrucosa, specific IgE <class 2, or clinically relevant perennial allergic rhinitis or asthma.

    The daily dose of IMP in this trial was 1 tablet, which should be taken at the same time each day; preferably in the morning. Instructions were to carefully remove the foil from the back of tablet blister card, to take out the tablet with dry fingers and to place the tablet under the tongue. Swallowing was to be avoided for 1 minute and eating and drinking was not allowed within 5 minutes after intake of the tablet.

    [8] - The primary endpoint, the average rhinoconjunctivitis daily symptom score, was planned to be analysed by fitting appropriate dose response curves. However, as the daily symptom score did not display a dose response relationship (due to modest pollen exposure), none of the planned models for fitting the data were appropriate to execute and the data was instead presented as pairwise comparisons.

    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Pre-planned procedures and pre-existing conditions found as a result of screening procedures were not considered adverse events. Common signs and symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis should also not be recorded as adverse events unless there was a clear temporal relationship to IMP administration or the event meet the definition of a serious event.

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The trial was carried out in a pollen season that was unusually low for birch as well as alder and hazel pollen counts. The low pollen exposure is a likely explanation for the inability to identify a dose response for the primary efficacy endpoint.
