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   43977   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7312   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 demonstrate the efficacy of SPD489 compared with placebo in adults (18-55 years of age inclusive) with moderate to severe binge eating disorder (BED) at Visit 8 (Weeks 11-12) as measured by the number of binge days (defined as days during which at least 1 binge episode occurs) per week as assessed by clinical interview based on subject diary.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation of Good Clinical Practice, the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, as well as other applicable local ethical and legal requirements.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Subjects were recruited between 12-Nov-2012 and 19-June-2013 and locations included medical clinics & research centers.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 A total of 383 subjects were randomized to treatment. Of these, 4 subjects from the placebo arm discontinued the study prior to study drug administration (reasons for discontinuation for 4 'randomized but not treated' subjects were: 2 subjects lost to follow-up and 2 withdrew due to protocol violation). A total of 379 subjects started treatment.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: All enrolled subjects were not treated with study drug. Since baseline included treated subjects only, the worldwide number enrolled in the trial differs with the number of subjects reported in the baseline period.

Responses were categorized as follows: 1-week Cessation = 100% reduction in binge episodes during the preceding 7 days. Marked Reduction = 99% to 75% reduction during the time since the previous visit. Moderate Reduction = 74% to 50% reduction during the time since the previous visit. Negative to Minimal Reduction = <50% reduction during the time since the previous visit. The Full Analysis Set was defined as all randomized subjects who took at least 1 dose of investigational product and who had 1 post-baseline primary efficacy assessment (number of binge days per week calculated for at least 1 week). Not all subjects had data for this outcome.

    		 Change From Baseline in Eating Inventory Scores at Week 12
    End point description
    The Eating Inventory also known as the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire is a 51-item self-reported questionnaire intended to assess 3 dimensions of eating behavior. There are 36 true/false items, 14 items on a 4-point Likert scale (1=eat rarely to 4=always), and 1 item on a 6-point Likert scale (1=eat whatever you want to 6=constantly limiting food intake). Cognitive Restraint score ranges from 0-21. Hunger score ranges from 0-14. Disinhibition score ranges from 0-16. Higher scores denote higher levels of restrained eating, disinhibited eating and predisposition to hunger. The Full Analysis Set was defined as all randomized subjects who took at least 1 dose of investigational product and who had 1 post-baseline primary efficacy assessment (number of binge days per week calculated for at least 1 week). Not all subjects had data for this outcome.

    		 Change From Baseline in Binge Eating Scale (BES) Score at Week 12
    End point description
    The BES is a self-reported questionnaire containing 16 items designed to assess behavioral, affective, and attitudinal components of the subjective experience of binge eating. Each item is assessed based on 1 of 4 responses, with 1 denoting that a subject has greater control over eating behavior and 4 denoting that a subject had less control over eating behavior. A total score (sum of the 16 items) may range from 16-64. A lower score indicates greater control over eating behavior. The Full Analysis Set was defined as all randomized subjects who took at least 1 dose of investigational product and who had 1 post-baseline primary efficacy assessment (number of binge days per week calculated for at least 1 week). Not all subjects had data for this outcome.

    End point description
    The FrSBe is a 46-item self-rating scale designed to measure the neurobehavioral traits associated with the 3 primary regions of the prefrontal cortex. Subjects were asked to indicate the frequency with which they have engaged in certain behaviors using a rating scale from “1” (almost never) to “5” (almost always). Summary scores were calculated and converted to t-score. A decrease from baseline in FrSBe total score represents improvement. The Full Analysis Set was defined as all randomized subjects who took at least 1 dose of investigational product and who had 1 post-baseline primary efficacy assessment (i.e., number of binge days per week calculated for at least 1 week). Not all subjects had data for this outcome.
