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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the clinical benefit of midodrine hydrochloride (HCl) in subjects with symptomatic orthostatic hypotension (SOH) as determined by the proportion of subjects who fail to maintain an adequate response to treatment following randomized withdrawal of treatment (placebo) as compared to subjects remaining on active treatment (midodrine HCl).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with ICH Good Clinical Practice, the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, as well as other applicable local ethical and legal requirements. A data monitoring committee monitored safety data generated by the study at regular intervals for the duration of the study. Their role was to protect the interests of subjects in the study and of those still to be entered, by review of accumulating safety and tolerability data generated in this study.

    End point title
    Percent of Subjects Who Failed to Maintain a Response
    End point description
    Failure to maintain a response was defined as any randomized subject that met both criterion 1 and criterion 2 below on Day 16: 1. The Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) Item 1 score increased by >=4 points compared to baseline. OHSA Item 1 is a dizziness scale that is scored on a range from 0 (no dizziness) to 10 (severe dizziness). A lower score indicates less severe symptoms. 2. There was an increase in the number of syncopal/near syncopal events or severity of events within 15 minutes of standing compared to those observed at baseline. Syncope was defined as a loss of consciousness, and near syncope was defined as a feeling (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, feeling as though one would black out) that, without intervention, would lead to a loss of consciousness. This end point used the Full Analysis Set, defined as all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of double-blind investigational product and had data available.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    11 Sep 2012
    This amendment included the following changes. 1-Dates of the planned study period were updated to match agreement with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA): a-The definition of Part A (Withdrawal phase) was changed from 1 day (Day 1) to 2 days duration (Day -1 to Day 1); b-Discharge was on Day 17; and c-Follow-up was 5-7 days after discharge rather than 5-7 days after last dose of study drug. 2-In order to better reflect the general patient population, qualification criteria for advancing from Part B to C (Dose-stabilization and Double-blind Randomized-withdrawal phases, respectively) were modified to indicate that the changes in orthostatic blood pressure should have been comparable at baseline and Part B, and that some subjects may not have exhibited a change. 3-Methodology sections were amended to clarify that procedures for qualification of subjects into the study, including Parts A and B, may have been repeated once if necessary. 4-Physical examination was removed as a safety assessment and secondary endpoint, since findings were to be included in the adverse events section. 5-Exclusion criteria were modified. 6-Sections detailing administration of investigational product were updated to address concerns expressed by the FDA. 7-The timing of screening procedures was changed to within 28 days prior to Day -1, rather than 28 days prior to receiving the first dose of investigational product. 8-Additional guidelines were added to address FDA recommendations concerning blood pressure measurements. 9-Definitions of syncopal and near syncopal events were added.
    15 Jan 2013
    This amendment included the following changes. 1-Text was added to include that in the European Union only the 2.5 mg dose strength was used. 2-Text was added to clarify that a subject was eligible to enter Part B of the study if he was unable to stand for the assessments to be conducted, which meant either to start the assessments or to complete the entire assessment period. 3-Text was added to clarify that the subject number and randomization number used in the SPD426-406 study could not be used in Study SPD426-405. 4-Text was added to clarify that the capsules were to be swallowed whole and not opened, crushed, chewed, or cut. 5-Text was updated to clarify that the physical examination was performed in Europe by a qualified registered physician.
