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   44334   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the efficacy of pridopidine 45 to 112.5 mg twice daily (bid) on motor impairment in patients with Huntington’s Disease (HD) after 26 weeks of treatment using the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale Total Motor Score (TMS). The trial was initially designed as a 26-week study to evaluate the effect of pridopidine on motor function. Due to the recognition that the Primary target of pridopidine is S1R, suggesting a therapeutic potential beyond motor function, the ongoing trial was extended from 26 to 52 weeks in order to allow the assessment of pridopidine on total functional capacity (TFC). A minimum of 52 are needed for the placebo group to decline in TFC and allow a window to detect an effect of treatment on TFC. Approximately 19% of patients completed 26 weeks (period 1) of the study before IRB approvals for the extension and did not continue into period 2 with a duration of up to 52 weeks.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Patients who did not enter the second study period from the first study period were lost due to prolonged IRB review periods at some clinical sites.

    Number of Cytosine-Adenosine-Guanine (CAG) Repeats
    The normal huntington protein contains multiple repeats of a sequence of three DNA bases, cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG), which encodes the amino acid glutamine. When more than 36 repeats are present in the protein, stemming from a mutation in the huntingtin gene, an abnormal protein is produced. This mutant form of the protein is more prone to aggregation than versions of the protein with a normal number of repeats. Individuals with 36–40 CAG repeats may or may not develop symptoms of HD, while people with more than 40 repeats will develop the disorder during a normal lifetime.

    End point description
    TMS was defined as the sum of all UHDRS motor domains ratings. The motor section of the UHDRS assesses Motor features of Huntington's Disease (HD) with standardized ratings of oculo-motor function, dysarthria, chorea, dystonia, gait, and postural stability. Each of 15 assessments is rated on a scale of 0 (normal) to 4 (marked impairment) for a TMS range of 0-124. Negative change from baseline values indicate improvement.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 Sep 2013
    Amendment 1 to the protocol (dated 24 September 2013) was issued before any patients were enrolled in the study. The following major procedural changes (not all-inclusive) were made to the protocol: - The duration of treatment with study drug was increased from 12 weeks to 26 weeks - The 45 mg dose was removed from the efficacy analyses - The timing of the DSMB meetings was changed - The opportunity to enter the open-label extension study was introduced - Rules for discontinuation of treatment groups were modified
    03 Feb 2014
    Amendment 2 to the protocol (dated 03 February 2014) was issued before any patients were enrolled in the study. Clarification that the mPPT will be used as the secondary efficacy endpoint - Increased frequency of DSMB meetings until 100 patients (20 from each treatment group) have completed two weeks of treatment on full dose - Clarification that Patients with a legal guardian should be consented according to local requirements - The EQ-5D-5L scale was added as an assessment - The possibility for patients to continue in the study after study drug discontinuation, due to safety or tolerability reasons, was introduced - Clarification regarding the number of capsules in the dispensed bottles - Change to time points at which exploratory efficacy endpoints (PBA-s, CIBIC-Plus, PDS, CGI-C, Walk-12, and TUG test) are assessed to reduce patient burden
    16 Sep 2014
    Amendment 3 to the protocol (dated 16 September 2014) was issued after 24 patients were enrolled into the study. Changes to the protocol were considered to have no negative impact on the safety of patients already enrolled into the study. The following major procedural changes (not all-inclusive) were made to the protocol: - Extension of the period between screening and baseline visit to 12 weeks, to allow a switch in concomitant drugs if deemed medically justified and for the benefit of the patient by the investigator - Revised text to reflect that the investigator can unblind the treatment code in an emergency situation without prior approval of the sponsor - The ECG on Day 56 would be optional, unless required by local regulations - Clarification regarding the ECG at Week 2 (ie, that it will be performed in triplicate before the afternoon dose of that visit) - Prolonged QTcF deleted from baseline visit as an eligibility criterion. Prolonged QT at baseline will be handled according to the discontinuation rules specified in the protocol - Inclusion criterion was revised to read “IS equal to or less than 90% at the screening visit”, to include also patients with a IS of 90% - The protocol was updated to require that all serious adverse events be reported within 24 hours of when the investigator learns of the event, regardless of whether it’s a non-working day - Instructions on how to resume study drug after temporary interruption -Prohibited medications timing also changed from 6 weeks prior to screening to 6 weeks prior to baseline (eg, QT-interval prolonging meds, CYP2D6 metabolized meds, and tetrabenazine) - Rescreening of selected patients now permitted if not originally eligible for enrollment - Clarification regarding the time frame for suicide attempts prior to screening (ie, if the attempt or acts were performed within 1 year of screening) - New text regarding required reporting of suicidality as an adverse event
    12 Jan 2015
    Amendment 4 to the protocol (dated 12 January 2015) was issued after 133 patients were enrolled into the study. Changes to the protocol were considered to have no negative impact on the safety of patients already enrolled into the study. The study was extended from 26 to 52 weeks, to allow the assessment of pridopidine on TFC. A minimum of 52 weeks are needed for placebo to decline in TFC to allow a window to detect a potential therapeutic effect of a drug on this endpoint. In addition, the following major procedural changes (not all-inclusive) were made to the protocol: - endpoints modified and/or added to reflect the study extension - days of assessments and procedures modified to reflect changes in time points - clarification to allow only 1 titration during the entire study period - new text added to define the population sets that will be used to analyze the data from the second study period
    31 Mar 2016
    Amendment 5 to the protocol (dated 31 March 2016) was issued after 408 patients were enrolled into the study. Changes to the protocol were considered to have no negative impact on the safety of patients already enrolled into the study. - Addition of 2 telephone calls for safety evaluation (at Weeks 40 to 44 and Weeks 46 to 51) including C-SSRS and an abbreviated PBA-s assessment - Addition of suicidal ideations and suicide attempts as protocol-defined adverse events for expedited reporting - Addition of discontinuation criteria for individual patients and stopping rules for treatment groups - Clarification of study conduct - Revision of the Study Procedures and Assessments and Overall Study Schema to reflect the amended study design
