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
    To evaluate the efficacy of ibodutant on IBS symptoms as compared to placebo in IBS-D female patients over a 24-week oral treatment period.
    Protection of trial subjects
    If any event(s) related to the conduct of the study or the development of the IMP would have affected the safety of the study participants, the Sponsor and the Investigator would have taken appropriate urgent safety measures to protect the patients against any immediate hazard. The CAs and IRB/ECs would be informed forthwith about these new events and the measures taken. For patients participating in the study, Menarini Ricerche S.p.A. had stipulated an insurance policy in accordance with local regulatory requirements. Details on the insurance company, the insurance number and conditions were made available to patients in the ICF and/or provided as a separate document, in accordance with national requirements. Overall, the risk-benefit for eligible patients to participate in study NAK-07 was considered favourable. No risk was expected as consequence of drug safety profile or study procedures while a clinically significant benefit was anticipated based on the results of Phase II study (NAK-04); finally no detrimental effect or even a benefit was expected for patients who were to be randomised to placebo because of lack of efficacious and safe treatment versus the high placebo response observed in IBS patients. Examinations to be performed in the course of the study such as 12-Lead ECGs and blood draws were not associated with any specific risks.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The first patient was consented on 26th February 2014; the first patient was randomised on 24th March 2014. The last patient completed the study on 03rd November 2015. The study was conducted at 139 clinical sites in 9 countries (Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, United Kingdom and USA).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Following the screening period of up to 2 weeks, patients entered a 2-week run-in period. A total of 1300 patients were actually screened, of whom 558 patients were randomised to enter the first 24-week treatment period; only 321 of them were re-randomised to enter the second 28-week treatment period due to premature study termination.

    Following the screening period of up to 2 weeks, patients entered a 2-week run-in period which served as a treatment-free prospective baseline period to characterise IBS symptom severity. Eligible patients were randomised at the end of the 2-week run-in period and after rechecking eligibility criteria, as per the treatment code provided by the IVRS/IWRS in accordance with the randomisation list.

    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: A total opf 558 patients were randomised: 277 randomised to ibodutant and 281 to placebo group. Two patients randomised to placebo never took the study medication. Intent-to-treat (ITT) Population (n=556): all randomised patients who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

    Blinding implementation details
    Double-blind conditions were maintained by the identical appearance and weight of the ibodutant and placebo tablets. To preserve the double-blind conditions of the study, individuals involved in the preparation or handling of the randomisation lists were not involved in the study conduct or statistical analysis. This remained in effect until the database was completed and locked.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse Events are reported for the safety population (all enrolled patients who received at least 1 dose of study drug) over a period of 24 weeks. The SAE incidence did not change over the entire 52-weeks with respect to the first 24-week period.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    AEs were categorized as Treatment-Emergent Signs and Symptoms (TESS) or Non-TESS for each of the study periods based on the onset date/time of AE. Number of events and number of patients (%) are presented herein by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Oct 2013
    Besides others, better specification that the primary endpoint and all efficacy data collected after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment will be analysed after Visit 9 of the 500th randomised patient and that, therefore, the database will undergo two lock procedures (after 24 weeks of treatment and at study end).
    05 Dec 2013
    Besides others, the procedure to be used for the follow-up of the Serious Adverse Events was amended.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The Sponsor decided on 03 September 2015 to prematurely terminate the study because of negative results of the contemporaneous sister study NAK-06 and the definitely lower than expected overall (ibodutant/placebo) response rate at week 24.
