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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy/safety of prasugrel as monotherapy for reduction of Vaso Occlusive Crisis in patients aged 2 to less than 18 years. The statistical analysis plan allowed for data cutoff on 17-Jul-2015. This was designated the submission data base lock which occurred Aug-2015 and patients continued study drug to garner more safety data (to inform labeling should the study have been positive). A review of the efficacy/safety by the Sponsors mid Sep-2015 confirmed a lack of efficacy with no new safety issues; patients were then contacted starting on 17-Sep-2015, and taken off of study drug. Almost all patients discontinued study drug by 1-Oct-2015, with follow up for study close out continuing until late 2015, and allowing for the 120 day safety assessment data lock in late Jan-2016.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice, and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, in addition to following the laws and regulations of the country or countries in which a study is conducted.

    Participants will be titrated from initial daily dose of 0.08 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of orally administered prasugrel monotherapy at randomization to a dose that will achieve a P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) level of 231 to 136, as measured by VerifyNow instrument. This corresponds to a range of platelet inhibition of approximately 30% to 60%. The maximum possible dose allowed is 0.12 mg/kg daily, not to exceed 10 mg daily.

    Participants who were on placebo during the double-blind treatment period will begin the OLE titration with the 0.08-mg/kg dose. The participants who had been on prasugrel will start the OLE on their final double-blind dose, which may be titrated up or down as required. Similar to the double-blind treatment period, doses will be adjusted to reach the target level of platelet inhibition. The maximum level of platelet inhibition that will be allowed in this study will be approximately 60% (corresponding to a PRU of 136). Any patient with a PRU less than 136 during the titration period who cannot be titrated to a lower dose will be discontinued from the study.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Participants who had not permanently discontinued study drug, completed 24 months of treatment and met OLE criteria were eligible to enter OLE.

    Secondary: Monthly Rate of Days with Pain

    End point title
    Monthly Rate of Days with Pain
    End point description
    Monthly rate of days with pain was measured through participant diaries using a modified version of the FPS-R. Each day participants selected the face on the scale that reflected their worst pain related to sickle cell disease (SCD) on that day. This pain scale contains six faces corresponding to the pain intensity of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10, in which 0 denotes no pain and 10 denotes the worst pain possible. Any day the participant selected a face other than face 0 was considered a day with pain. Monthly rate of days with pain was calculated for each participant by summing the number of days reported with any pain divided by the number of non-missing diary entries completed in the month. A month was defined as 4 weeks (28 days).The monthly rate was set to missing if there were more than 14 missing entries for the FPS-R in a specific month. Data collected through the primary completion date are present below.

    A painful crisis is defined as an onset of moderate to severe pain that lasts at least 2 hours for which there is no explanation other than vaso-occlusion and which requires therapy with oral or parenteral opioids, ketorolac, or other analgesics prescribed by a health care provider (HCP) in a medical setting such as a hospital, clinic, emergency room visit, or telephone management. The painful crisis that occurred within 7 days from the prior event onset date was not counted as a new episode. Data collected through the primary completion date are presented below.

    Monthly rate of days of analgesic use was measured through participant diaries and was calculated for each participant by summing the number of days they reported analgesic use divided by the number of diary entries completed in the month. A month was defined as 4 weeks (28 days). The monthly rate was set to missing if there were more than 14 missing entries for analgesic use in a specific month. Data collected through the primary completion date are presented below. Analysis Population: All randomized participants who are 4 years or older and have baseline and at least one post-baseline monthly outcome measure in any month.

    Reporting group description
    Participants will be titrated from initial daily dose of 0.08 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of orally administered prasugrel monotherapy at randomization to a dose that will achieve a P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) level of 231 to 136, as measured by VerifyNow instrument. This corresponds to a range of platelet inhibition of approximately 30% to 60%. The maximum possible dose allowed is 0.12 mg/kg daily, not to exceed 10 mg daily.

    Reporting group title
    Placebo - Double Blind Phase
    Reporting group description
    Participants in this treatment group will receive daily orally administered placebo and will follow visit schedule identical to that in the active treatment group.

    Reporting group title
    Prasugrel - Open Label Phase
    Reporting group description
    Participants who continued to meet eligibility criteria, who were not permanently discontinued from study drug, and who concluded their participation in 24 months of double blind treatment were to be considered eligible to enter the open label phase.

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    21 Feb 2013
    - Primary endpoint was updated to include a composite of painful crisis or acute chest syndrome and to include not only oral/parenteral opioids and ketorolac but other prescribed analgesics. -Rate of painful crisis added to major secondary efficacy objectives - Hemorrhagic stroke removed from efficacy endpoints. - Inclusion criterion changed to allow patients ≥ 19 kg - Number of participants expected to be enrolled was increased - Stopping rules added for the Data Monitoring Committee - Schedule of events updated to allow additional blood draw

    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.
    The pre-defined levels of platelet inhibition and prasugrel as monotherapy may have contributed to the failure to meet any primary/secondary endpoint.
