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
    To assess the effect of ACZ885 on peripheral artery wall morphometry using MRI techniques at 12 months
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial. Wherever possible, patients were maintained on a stable medical regimen throughout the study, so that medication changes did not confound the study results. Medications like analgesics, opioids, pentoxyfylline or cilostazol, which are used to manage the pain of intermittent claudication were allowed, but were optimized prior to enrollment in the treatment phase of the study.

    Primary: Mean vessel wall area ratio of 12 months to baseline

    End point title
    Mean vessel wall area ratio of 12 months to baseline
    End point description
    Peripheral artery wall area (superficial femoral artery) measured using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) cross-section slices. Mean vessel wall area (mm^2) was derived by converting total plaque volume (TPV) (mL) of the vessel to mm^3 by multiplying by 1000, dividing by the number of slices used for the volume calculation, and dividing by the thickness of a slice (3 mm). Least squares mean for ratio of 12 months to baseline was measured from repeated measures mixed effect model with visit, treatment, the treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline and the visit-by-baseline interaction as fixed effects. The pharmacodynamics (PD) analysis set included all patients with available PD data and no protocol deviations with relevant impact on PD data. Patients who underwent iliac/femoral stenting were removed from all data points that occurred after this procedure in the analysis.

    Adverse Events are collected from First Patient First Visit (FPFV) until Last Patient Last Visit (LPLV). All Adverse events are reported in this record from First Patient First Treatment until Last Patient Last Visit.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Consistent with EudraCT disclosure specifications, Novartis has reported under the Serious adverse events field “number of deaths resulting from adverse events” all those deaths, resulting from serious adverse events that are deemed to be causally related to treatment by the investigator.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    29 May 2014
    The purpose of the amendment was to utilize new information about PAD patient characteristics derived from the ongoing trial to more appropriately and inclusively enroll patients consistent with the originally intended patient population. Expanding the upper/lower bound of the ABI inclusion criteria to 0.9 and 0.4, respectively, and adding alternative criteria, including a drop in ABI or ankle pressure with exercise or a decreased TBI, allowed Investigators to readily identify more completely the intended patients of interest with physiologically significant PAD. Thus, this amendment maximized inclusiveness while maintaining the originally intended patient population.
    07 Apr 2015
    The purpose of the amendment was to utilize new information about PAD patient characteristics derived from the ongoing trial to more appropriately and inclusively enroll patients consistent with the originally intended patient population. The removal of the mandatory exercise run-in period eased patient compliance with the protocol without altering the intention of outcome of the trial. Removal of the exercise run-in in turn decreased the minimum total run-in period. The acceptable inclusion criteria for glucose control in diabetics was increased to allow more diabetics to participate. In addition, the exclusion criteria for patients with a history of cancer was clarified such that if a patient had been cancer-free for a period of five years, they would not be excluded.
