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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Change from baseline in the quantified gait analysis kinematic, dynamic and mechanical work parameters
    Amélioration après traitement, des paramètres cinématiques, dynamiques et de travail mécanique, en analyse quantifiée de marche
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Each patient will be randomized, after inclusion, in group 1 or 2. Group 1 will receive the treatment during 6 weeks, then have a period of 2 weeks of wash-out, and after this be treated with placebo for 6 weeks.
    Group 2 will receive the placebo first for 6 weeks, be washed-out for 2 weeks, and then have the IMP for 6 weeks.

    Each patient will thus be evaluated 4 times, before and at the end of each period of treatment.
    Chaque patient, à l'inclusion, sera randomisé en l'un des 2 groupes, 1 ou 2. Le groupe 1 recevra le traitement par Fampridine pendant 6 semaines, puis aura une période de 2 semaines de wash-out, avant d'être traité par placebo pendant 6 semaines.
    Le groupe 2 sera traité d'abord par placebo pendant 6 semaines, cash-out pendant 2 semaines, puis la FAmpridine pendant 6 semaines.
    Ainsi, chaque patient sera évalué 4 fois, avant et à la fin de chacune des 2 périodes de traitement.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    -comparison of change after treatment, of quantified parameters of electromyography and energy cost an gait analysis
    -comparison of clinical parameters (spasticity, strength, muscular stiffness, walking tests) and subjectives scores (MSWS-12, Borg scale, quality of life, fatigue)
    -comparison of motor evoked potentials parameters
    -comparaison après traitement des paramètres électromyographiques et de coût énergétique, en analyse quantifiée de marche
    -comparaison après traitement des paramètres cliniques (spasticité, force musculaire, raideur musculaire), et des échelles subjectives (MSWS-12, score de Borg, qualité de vie, fatigue)
    -comparaison des résultats des potentiels évoqués moteurs
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Each patient will thus be evaluated 4 times, before and at the end of each period of treatment.
    These evaluations will be coupled with the primary endpoint evaluations.
    chaque patient sera évalué 4 fois, avant et à la fin de chacune des 2 périodes de traitement.
    Ces analyses seront couplées aux évaluations des objectifs primaires

    From the 110 screened patients, only responders will pursue the study. According to available data from previous studies, 30% of patients will respond.
    We intend to randomize 32 patients into the 2 arms of treatment (placebo before FAmpyra vs Fampyra before placebo) for the 14 weeks of the study.
    At the end of this study, if the treatment is not yet available for commercial use, the sponsor intends to sponsor an extension study to provide treatment to responding patients wishing to continue.
    110 patients seront inclus, parmi eux, seuls les répondeurs (30% selon les études antérieures) seront randomisés. Donc 32 patients seront répartis entre les 2 bras de traitement (placebo puis Fampridine ou inversement) pour les 14 semaines de l'étude.
    A la fin de cette étude, si la Fampridine n'est pas encore commercialisée en Belgique, le sponsor a prévu un protocole d'extension, afin d'offrir le traitement aux patients répondeurs qui le souhaitent.
