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 ).

    Average Change from Baseline in Modified Ashworth Scale-Bohannon (MAS-B) Ankle Score with Knee Extended at Weeks 4 and 6
    End point description
    The MAS-B was used to evaluate spasticity based on grading the resistance encountered in the principal muscle group (elbow and wrist) by means of passively moving a limb through its range of motion at a study specified velocity. The resistance encountered to passive stretch was graded using a 6-point scale where: 0=no increase in muscle tone (best) to 4=affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension (worst). The scores at Weeks 4 and 6 were averaged. A Mixed Model Repeated Measures (MMRM) model was used for analysis. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Participants from the mITT population, all randomized participants with a valid MAS-B baseline ankle score with knee extended and at least one post-baseline measurement at Weeks 2, 4, or 6 for the MAS-B of the ankle score with knee extended and the CGI by physician, with data available for analysis.

    Goal Attainment Score (GAS) as Assessed by Physician Using a 6-Point Scale
    End point description
    Two functional goals, one active and one passive, were selected by the participant and family in consultation with the physician investigator and/or treating physical therapist relative to the lower limb impairment due to spasticity. The physician assessed the achievement of the goals using a 6-point scale: where -3=worse than start to +2=much more than expected: improvements clearly exceed the defined therapeutic goal. An Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model was used for analysis. The Modified ITT population includes all randomized participants with a valid MAS-B baseline ankle score with knee extended and at least one post-baseline measurement at Weeks 2, 4, or 6 for the MAS-B of the ankle score with knee extended and the CGI by physician, with data available for analysis.

    Change from Baseline in Severity of Spasticity of the Ankle with Knee Extended and Knee Flexed (R2-R1) Calculated Using the Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS)
    End point description
    The MTS measured the difference between slow and fast range of motion (R2-R1) and respective change from baseline to each posttreatment visit. The MTS of the ankle determined the passive range of movement at different movement velocities, V1 (as slow as possible) and V3 (as fast as possible) with the relative difference between a slow and fast velocity passive stretch determining the dynamic component of the muscle contracture for the joint. The investigator measured 2 joint angles by goniometer: the R1 angle which is the angle of catch after a V3 stretch and the R2 angle defined as the passive joint range of movement following a V1 stretch. The R2–R1 value indicated the level of the dynamic component of spasticity in the joint. The difference between R2 and R1 range of motion and respective change from baseline to each posttreatment office visit on the MTS was derived. An Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model was used for analysis. The mITT population was used for analysis.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Mar 2012
    -The primary efficacy analyses were reworded to specify that if a pairwise comparison in MAS-B was not statistically significant, the corresponding pairwise comparison in CGI by Physician would not be considered statistically significant regardless of the actual p-value. -Addition of Section 7.7 Additional Analysis/Inference for US FDA to clarify when dose effectiveness would be concluded. This change addressed US FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) comments during Special Protocol Assessment review. -Revised approximate volume of blood collection for hematology and chemistry laboratory assessments from 5 to 7 mL (milliliters) (participants weighing < 15 kg) and from 12 to 14 mL (participants weighing ≥ 15 kg) to meet revised central laboratory requirements. -Revised participant-reported onset of spasticity symptom relief question from “have you noticed any treatment effect…” to “have you noticed any effect…” to minimize potential bias based on central IRB requirement.
    28 Jan 2014
    -Amended primarily to add assessment of suicidal ideation/behavior using the C-SSRS as a standard safety measure required by the US FDA’s Division of Neurology Products. -Added distinction between US FDA and non-US FDA clinical hypotheses and analyses. -Added participant-reported benefit of injection as an efficacy measure. -Specified that C-SSRS was to be performed as a safety measure for participants ≥ 6 years of age at Day 1, and provided description of scale, data handling, and reference information. Request from US FDA. -Revised Inclusion Criterion and screening procedure to remove requirement of true equinus foot deformity referenced in Rodda and Graham. Clarified gait pattern analysis not required to confirm equinus foot deformity. -Revised Exclusion Criterion to remove definition of significant knee spasticity. -Modified Exclusion Criterion regarding seizure frequency for exclusion. -Added Exclusion Criterion to exclude participants with significant suicidality from treatment so as to avoid data confounding. -Clarified that participants could stay in the study even if prohibited medication was administered -Clarified MTS scale description by adding “with knee extended and knee flexed”. -Changed multiple testing procedure to gatekeeping procedure to control type I error rate -Removed pairwise comparison for higher dose versus lower dose to incorporate US FDA recommendation. -Removed overall test for among group comparison. Gatekeeping procedure sufficient to control type I error rate -Removed subgroup efficacy analyses by type of anesthesia. -Revised sample size calculation to base the calculation on 2 sample t test as the overall test for among group comparison was removed. -Removed requirement that urine pregnancy test must be performed prior to study treatment. -Updated serious adverse event reporting procedures -Revised MAS-B description so the assessment could be performed by other qualified site personnel.
    25 Jul 2016
    -Protocol amended primarily to modify the statistical methods (introduction of the Hochberg procedure, change in imputation methods, and sensitivity analyses) to reflect the simultaneous changes being made to Protocol 191622-101. -The ITT population was replaced with the mITT population (defined as all randomized participants with a valid MAS-B at baseline of the principal muscle group and ≥ 1 postbaseline measurement at Weeks 2, 4, or 6 for the MAS-B of the principal muscle group and CGI by Physician). Revised based on US FDA recommendation. -Added a responder status based on +1 score of CGI by Physician. -Changed sensitivity analyses of MAS-B and CGI by Physician to use the MI method for missing values instead of observed cases and deleted sensitivity analyses using LOCF. Revised to address US FDA feedback. -Changed primary MAS-B analysis and coprimary MAS-B and CGI by Physician (for US FDA) analyses to use MMRM with observed data; ANCOVA with MI and observed data was used as sensitivity analyses. Revised to address US FDA feedback. -Deleted subgroup analyses of adverse events because deemed unnecessary. -Changed multiple testing procedure (gatekeeping procedure) to Hochberg procedure for the coprimary analysis (for US FDA) to control type I error rate.
