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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 primary objective of this study was to assess the safety of two concurrent injections of AA4500 0.58 mg (one injection per joint) into the same hand in subjects with multiple Dupuytren’s contractures with palpable cords followed 24 to 72 hours later by a finger extension procedure, and compare the rate of occurrence of targeted SAEs (tendon rupture/ligament injury and anaphylaxis) to historical rates of the same in clinical studies and post-marketing commercial use (ie, historical controls). The secondary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of two concurrent injections of AA4500 0.58 mg (one injection per joint) into the same hand. An additional objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two concurrent injections of AA4500 0.58 mg (one injection per joint) in the same hand based upon the time between injection and finger extension procedure (ie, 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Care After Injection In order to evaluate the subject for possible immediate immunological AEs, the subject remained in direct observation of medical personnel who were skilled in the management of acute allergic reactions for the first 20 minutes after receiving an injection of study drug. A subject may have been discharged from the study unit after a 60-minute observation provided: • The subject exhibited no sign of an immunological or other significant systemic or local AE. • The subject’s vital signs remained stable throughout the 60-minute observation period. Subjects were instructed not to flex or extend the fingers on the treated hand for 12 hours after injection to prevent extravasation of AA4500 out of the cord. A soft bulky gauze dressing was applied to the treated hand. The dressing served as a reminder to the subject not to move the treated hand. Subjects were instructed when to remove the dressing and to inspect the treated hand for edema, sensation, and movement. The subject was instructed to contact the investigator immediately if any problems were noticed. Subjects were instructed not to manipulate the injected finger(s) themselves.

Study drug was administered in a volume of 0.25 mL for MP joints and 0.20 mL for PIP joints. Study drug was injected directly into the cord using a 26 or 27 gauge ½ inch (13 mm) needle. On Day 1 of this study, each subject received two concurrent injections of AA4500 0.58 mg (one injection per joint) into the same hand (selected hand). After completing the Day 61 follow-up visit, 10 subjects with bilateral disease were granted special permission to re-enroll into the study and receive a second series of two injections in their contralateral hand.

    The URAM scale is a patient-reported functional 9-item scale (total score 0-45) developed and validated to assess functional outcome of patients suffering from Dupuytren's disease with higher scores indicating greater difficulty using the hand.The estimated clinically important change of the URAM scale is 2.9 points. A decrease in total URAM score indicates improvement in hand function.

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    14 Dec 2012
    Clarified that the study period of 60 days for the core study was followed by an optional 90-day additional treatment period. Added that subjects who required additional treatment in the treated hand may have received up to three additional injections of AA4500 according to the XIAFLEX package insert. Updated that the end of the core study occurred when the last subject completed the Day 61 follow-up visit. The end of the completed study occurred when the last subject completed the Day 30 visit after the last additional injection. Added that AEs, including targeted AEs, were to be captured on the eCRF. In addition, the date of each additional injection and the finger and joint treated were to be recorded on the eCRF.
