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 primary objective of the study was to provide required access of investigational product (darbepoetin alfa) beyond the end of the active treatment period (EOATP) of the darbepoetin alfa MDS 20090160 study for subjects who had continued demonstration of benefit from darbepoetin alfa treatment and to describe the safety of longer-term use in this patient population.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations/guidelines. All subjects provided written informed consent before undergoing any study-related procedures, including screening procedures. The study protocol, amendments, and the informed consent form (ICF) were reviewed by the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Independent Ethics Committees (IECs). No subjects were recruited into the study and no investigational product (IP) was shipped until the IRB/IEC gave written approval of the protocol and ICF and Amgen received copies of these approvals.

    End point title
    Number of Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events [1]
    End point description
    Adverse events (AEs) were graded for severity according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.0, where Grade 1 indicates a mild AE, Grade 2 indicates a moderate AE, Grade 3 indicates severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening and Grade 4 indicates life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. A serious adverse event was defined as an adverse event that met at least one of the following serious criteria: • fatal • life threatening • required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • congenital anomaly/birth defect • other medically important serious event The investigator assessed whether each adverse events was related to darbepoetin alfa.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    From first dose of darbepoetin alfa to 30 days after last dose; the maximum treatment duration was 73 weeks.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: All study results were descriptive, with no inferential testing.
