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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to get explorative information about IV high single dose infusion of iron isomaltoside 1000 compared to RBC transfusion in the treatment of severe PP-IDA evaluated as physical fatigue.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and amendments were approved by local ethics committees/Institutional Review Boards and competent authorities. The trial was conducted in accordance with good clinical practice and the Declaration of Helsinki. Informed consent was obtained in writing prior to any trial-related activities.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    From the time a subject had signed the informed consent form and until she had completed the trial, all AEs/SAEs were reported in the electronic case report form.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    An AE was described in the following manner: The nature of the event will be described in precise, standard medical terminology (i.e. not necessarily the exact words used by the subject). If known, a specific diagnosis was stated. Furthermore the Investigator described an AE regarding seriousness, severity, relatedness, and outcome.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Aug 2013
    • The endpoint ‘Change in other MFI fatigue symptoms’ should be calculated from day 1 to day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, week 3, 8, and 12. • It was specified that maternal milk iron level was to be assessed only in subjects ran-domised to iron isomaltoside 1000. • It was specified that assessment of anaemia and gastrointestinal symptoms should be performed at day 1, 3, and 7, week 3, 8, and 12. • It was specified that anaemia and gastrointestinal symptoms should be assessed by asking the subject if she had experienced any of the following symptoms: Palpitation, tinnitus, headache, dizziness, dyspnoea, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, thin feces, constipation, painful defecation, and symptomatic haemorrhoids. • Exclusion criteria number 7 was changed from ‘Known decompensated liver cirrhosis and active hepatitis’ to ‘Known decompensated liver cirrhosis or active hepatitis’ to correct a previous error. • Exclusion criteria number 10 was split into 2 different criteria. • To avoid selection bias, the geographical constraint on eligible subjects was changed from subjects living in the catchment area of Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet to subjects living within a radius of 30 kilometres from the hospital. • It was added that in case the infusion of iron isomaltoside 1000 was interrupted, it would be allowed to restart the infusion after clinical assessment by the Principal In-vestigator or a sub investigator. • Table 2 of the protocol, summarising adverse events with IV iron, was updated ac-cording to the Monofer® SmPC. • It was specified that admission to the maternity hotel was not considered to meet the regulatory definition for a SAE due to hospitalisation, and that admission of the new-born to the neonatal intensive care unit was to be evaluated case by case for serious-ness. • The visit window for visit 2-8 (day 1-7) was enlarged from 18 hours to 1 day to ensure full follow-up of as many subjects as possible.
    13 Feb 2014
    • Timing of maternal milk sample collection was changed from baseline, day 1, 2, and 3 to day 3 and week 1, and should be done in all subjects when possible. At the time of implementing this amendment, collection of milk samples from baseline and onwards had not been possible in any subjects. • It was specified that a ‘current smoker’ was defined as smoking within the last 6 months. • The reference document for SARs was changed from the Monofer® SmPC to the IB for iron isomaltoside 1000, as the trial investigated a new indication for iron isomaltoside 1000. The implication of this change was negligible as the list of ex-pected side effects for iron isomaltoside 1000 was similar in the 2 documents. • It was specified that the data collection tool was an eCRF.
