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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 as follows: -to assess the effect of prolonged-release fampridine over 24 weeks on the following parameters to explore endpoints for the Phase 3 study: self-assessed walking disability, dynamic and static balance, subjective impression of well-being, and subjects’ global impression of change in walking -to evaluate the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release fampridine
    Protection of trial subjects
    Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to evaluations being performed for eligibility. Subjects were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study. Through the informed consent process each subject was made aware of the purpose of the study, the procedures, the benefits and risks of the study, the discomforts and the precautions taken. Any side effects or other health issues occurring during the study were followed up by the study doctor. Subjects were able to stop taking part in the study at any time without giving any reason.

    Primary: Change From Baseline to Mean On-treatment (Weeks 2 to 24) on the Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12 (MSWS-12)

    Change From Baseline to Mean On-treatment (Weeks 2 to 24) on the Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12 (MSWS-12)
    End point description
    The MSWS-12 is a 12-item questionnaire that asks subjects to rate limitations of their mobility due to multiple sclerosis (MS) during the preceding 2 weeks on a 5-point scale (from 1= not at all to 5= extremely). The higher the score, the greater the degree of limitation in walking caused by MS. A negative change indicates an improvement in walking. For each subject, the mean change from baseline to on-treatment was calculated. As the distribution of between-subject changes from baseline were not normally distributed, the median change from baseline and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for each treatment group. Treatment groups were compared using median differences and corresponding 95% CI, which were calculated using non-parametric methods. Missing data were imputed by last observation carried forward (LOCF) method. Intention to treat (ITT) population: all treated subjects.

    Percentage Change From Baseline to Mean On-treatment (Weeks 2 to 24) on the Timed Up and Go (TUG)
    End point description
    TUG was presented using speed in meters per second (m/s), derived by dividing 6 meters by the time (in seconds) required to complete the walk. At each study visit, there were 2 trials of the TUG; the speed for any particular study visit was calculated as the average of the speeds for trial 1 and trial 2. If either trial was missing, then the speed for that visit was the speed from the completed trial. For each subject, the mean change from baseline to on-treatment was calculated. As the distribution of between-subject changes from baseline were not normally distributed, the median change from baseline and corresponding 95% confidence interval were calculated for each treatment group. Treatment groups were compared using median differences and corresponding 95% CI, which were calculated using non-parametric methods. Missing data were imputed by LOCF method. ITT population: all treated subjects.

    Change From Baseline to Mean On-treatment (Weeks 2 to 24) on the Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
    End point description
    The BBS test comprises 14 balance-related tasks scored from 0 (unable to perform) to 4 (able to perform independently). The BBS is the sum of scores across these tasks and ranges from 0 (poor balance) to 56 (good balance). A positive change on the BBS indicates an improvement in balance. For each subject, the mean change from baseline to on-treatment was calculated. As the distribution of between-subject changes from baseline were not normally distributed, the median change from baseline and corresponding 95% CI were calculated for each treatment group. Treatment groups were compared using median differences and corresponding 95% CI, which were calculated using non-parametric methods. Missing data were imputed by LOCF method.

    Change From Baseline to Mean On-treatment (Weeks 2 to 24) on the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29) Physical Impact Score
    End point description
    MSIS-29 is a subject-completed questionnaire comprising 29 questions measuring the physical (questions 1 to 20) and psychological (questions 21 to 29) impact of MS. For a particular visit, the MSIS-29 physical subscale score was calculated by summing the 20 items and transforming to a scale with a range of 0 (no impact of MS) to 100 (extreme impact of MS). A negative change indicates an improvement in function. For each subject, the mean change from baseline to on-treatment was calculated. As the distribution of between-subject changes from baseline were not normally distributed, the median change from baseline and corresponding 95% CI were calculated for each treatment group. Treatment groups were compared using median differences and corresponding 95% CI, which were calculated using non-parametric methods. Missing data were imputed by LOCF method.

    The EQ-5D is a generic quality of life instrument that comprises 5 questions and a VAS. Questions address mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. A score of 1 (no problem) to 5 (severe problem) are possible responses. A summary utility index value was calculated for subjects with non-missing data for each of the 5 questions at a visit. EQ-5D utility score ranges from -0.594 (worst health state) to 1.000 (best health state). A positive change indicates an improvement in utility score. An ANCOVA with adjustment for baseline values was used to calculate least squares means and corresponding 95% CI for each treatment group, as well as the least squares mean differences and corresponding 95% CI.

    Percentage of Subjects With an Improvement on the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at Week 2 [3]
    End point description
    The PGIC is a global assessment of the subject’s impression of how the study drug affected their overall walking during the preceding 7 days. The assessment is scored on a 7-point scale (1=very much worse, 2=much worse, 3=slightly worse, 4=unchanged, 5=slightly improved, 6=much improved, 7=very much improved). The number and proportion of subjects with an improvement (i.e., a score of 5, 6, or 7) at Week 2 were calculated. ITT population: all treated subjects with PGIC data available at Week 2.

    Number of Subjects With Notable Changes in Hematology, Blood Chemistry, and Urinalysis [5]
    End point description
    The following laboratory tests were performed: hematology: hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, white blood cell count (with differential), and platelet count; blood chemistry: sodium, potassium, chloride, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and bicarbonate; urinalysis: color, appearance, leukocyte esterase, specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, blood, ketones, microscopy, and urine culture (if necessary to rule out infection); estimated creatinine clearance (using the Cockcroft-Gault formula); pregnancy testing for all female subjects of childbearing potential. Safety population: all subjects who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study treatment.
