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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    01 Aug 2012
    Amendment 1: 1. Added 2 exclusion criteria for the purposes of screening patients who may not have had carcinoid syndrome (CS)-related diarrhea. Specifically, exclusion criteria #15 and #16 were revised to clarify that only clinically significant findings that would compromise patient safety or the outcome of the study were to result in patient exclusion 2. Modified text to clarify how patients with missing or uninterpretable urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (u5-HIAA) results would be stratified 3. Modified text regarding the use of concomitant medications to clarify the use of over-the-counter antidiarrheal therapy, bile acid sequestrants, and pancreatic enzymes 4. Added text to clarify that select study visits may have been performed outside of investigative site at the discretion of the Investigator and Sponsor 5. Added stool sampling to the Screening laboratory assessments 6. Added text to specify that additional information was collected if episodes of adverse events of special interest (AESIs) occurred 7. Defined central nervous system (CNS) events to include any clinically significant changes in mood, physical affect, or exacerbation of preexisting CNS conditions (eg, depression, migraine headaches) as AESIs 8. Revised the analysis section to clarify that the Run-in and DBT Periods of the study were to be reported separately from the OLE Period
    11 Apr 2013
    Amendment 2: 1. Modified the secondary endpoint describing durability and additional endpoints for changes in bowel movement (BM) frequency to reflect a 30% change in response of desired criteria. Based on review of new data from completed Phase 2 studies by key opinion leaders in the field, a 30% change in response criteria was considered clinically relevant. The leaders had cited precedent for this proportion of change in prior studies of medications to control diarrhea 2. Added information on patient symptomatology and clinical relevance of symptom improvement through semi-structured patient interviews 3. Increased the number of study sites anticipated to participate to 70 4. Added definition of childbearing potential to the inclusion criteria 5. Added information regarding benefit/risk assessment to the Introduction Section 6. Added text to specify that a Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) may have terminated the study if warranted 7. Revised text to remove reference to the interactive voice response system as only a web-based system (IWRS) was to be utilized for this study 8. Revised treatment compliance text to include criteria for defining a missed dose; specifically, “A dose outside of a 3-hour window should have been considered missed” 9. Added restrictions for grapefruit just for 2-3 hours before and following dosing in the study 10. Added text to allow rescreening of patients at the discretion of the Medical Monitor who were excluded during the Screening Period 11. Added text to describe the patient Exit Interview Substudy 12. Added a section to provide guidance to Investigators when monitoring/evaluating hepatic function 13. Modified instructions on how blood pressure, height, and weight measurements should have been collected 14. Updated safety reporting information 15. Added additional details regarding pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling
    06 Sep 2013
    Amendment 3: 1. Revised the wording of the primary endpoint to correctly reflect that the planned analysis was to evaluate individual treatment groups versus placebo for a reduction of bowel movements (BMs) from an initial Baseline value 2. Secondary endpoints were revised to align with the clinical importance of additional pathological and physical manifestations of carcinoid syndrome (CS). The other efficacy objectives were adjusted to accommodate changes to the planned analysis 3. Replaced the term “refractory” with the term “not adequately controlled” for the patient population expected to participate. Although early signs of tachyphylaxis were exhibited in the planned patient population, patients who were eligible to participate in this study may have experienced some benefit from their background somatostatin analog therapy and, thus, were no longer adequately controlled 4. Allowed patients who had undergone tumor-directed therapies and experienced little or no reduction in BMs to participate 5. Increased the number of study sites anticipated to participate to 100 6. Clarified the PK objective and clarified that details of the population PK analyses were to be prepared in a separate document 7. Provided updated information on new and completed studies 8. Provided additional information for the withdrawal of patients 9. Added text to require capturing individual missed doses 10. Added assessment of a patient’s clotting profile via prothrombin time and international normalized ratio laboratory values at Screening 11. Added parameters for depression detection and quality of sleep assessment during the DBT Period 12. Provided clarification that patients who become pregnant should have been discontinued from study treatment immediately 13. Clarified sample size calculations and statistical testing
    17 Apr 2014
    Amendment 4: 1. Modified portions of the statistical methodology to ensure consistency between the protocol and the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). Specifically, updates were made in order to describe which population was used in the sensitivity analyses of the primary efficacy endpoint, as well as to provide clarification on the summary of plasma concentration and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for the data collected from patients with intensive PK assessments 2. The name of the study drug (active metabolite and ethyl esterprodrug of the active metabolite) was modified throughout to correctly represent the adoption of the United States Adopted Name naming convention, and additional text was added to clarify that the identified dose of each tablet is representative of free base (ie, the ethyl ester prodrug) 3. Clarified the expected frequency of the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) meetings 4. Updated safety reporting text regarding relation to study drug and definition of an SAE 5. Statistical text was modified to describe disposition of AEs identified as adverse events of special interest (AESI) 6. Clarified the minimum dose requirement of SSA therapy in regards to inclusion criterion number 5 7. Added restrictions for both food and drink containing grapefruit to 2 to 3 hours before and after dosing
    20 Jan 2015
    Amendment 5: 1. Modified the exclusion criterion to remove the corrected QT interval using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) limitation of 450 msec 2. Clarified AESIs 3. Clarified the manner in which responses to questions designed to detect early signs of depression were to be managed 4. Clarified definition of AEs not related to study drug 5. Included a fifth classification for AEs, entitled “unlikely related” 6. Further defined the criteria for reporting a hospitalization as an SAE 7. Further defined how primary and secondary endpoints were to be analyzed and reported

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    During the open-label extension there was no placebo control, so safety results should be interpreted with caution.
