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   44064   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7320   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 effect of PRX167700 treatment on Pain Intensity after walking and at rest in subjects with moderate to severe pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice as required by the International Conference on Harmonisation E6 Guideline. Compliance with these requirements also constitutes conformity with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and any local regulations and applicable laws were followed appropriately. Prior to the conduct of any study-related procedures, informed consent was obtained from all subjects. Before obtaining informed consent, information was given in a language and at a level of complexity understandable to the subject in both oral and written form by the Investigator. Each subject had the opportunity to discuss the study and its alternatives with the Investigator. Subjects were also informed of their right to withdraw from the study at any time.
    Background therapy
    		 Prohibited concomitant therapy: All analgesic therapy, including over-the-counter pain medications and topical analgesics for OA pain. Medications considered to be analgesics for the treatment of OA pain included non-selective NSAIDs, COX-2 selective NSAIDs, paracetamol, tramadol, and opioid-containing preparations Oral corticosteroids. Therapeutic injections into the target knee joint (e. g., corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid). Other therapies such as methotrexate, gold salts, penicillamine, antimalarials, sulfasalazine, azathioprine, cyclosporine and any anti-inflammatory biological therapy which could be used off-label for the treatment of OA were not permitted. Strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 and strong inducers of CYP3A4 were also not permitted. Permitted concomitant therapy: Medications, other than the prohibited medications listed above, for the treatment of other underlying diseases or conditions were permitted and were to be maintained at a stable dose during the treatment period, unless a change was medically indicated. All concomitant medications used by the subject at screening (Visit 1), changes to those medications, or introduction of new medications after screening were to be recorded in the electronic consent record form. Subjects who were taking a stable dose of chondroitin or keratin sulphate, glucosamine, non-specific rubefacients, and nutraceutical products were permitted to continue treatment at the same dose. An established physiotherapy programme could be continued provided it had commenced at least 2 weeks before screening and the session duration or frequency was continued during the study. Low dose aspirin (≤75 mg/day) as prophylactic cardioprotective therapy was also permitted if continued at the same dose. Rescue medication: Paracetamol (1000 mg) was permitted on an as-needed basis as rescue analgesia during the study, up to a total dose of 4 g per day.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The first subject first visit was on 09 September 2013 and the last subject last visit was on 28 August 2014.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Screening was performed 7-10 days before start of the treatment period. After screening, eligible subjects were enrolled in a washout period (placebo therapy), and subjects still eligible at the end of this period (7-10 days) were randomised to treatment groups.

    Pre-assignment period milestones
    Number of subjects started
    		 176 [1]
    Number of subjects completed
    		 74

    Pre-assignment subject non-completion reasons
    Reason: Number of subjects
    		 Not deemed eligible for randomisation: 102
    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment 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 of 176 subjects entered the washout period, of which 74 eligible subjects were randomised and treated in the treatment period, as planned in the study protocol.

    Blinding implementation details
    The Sponsor and personnel at the study site were blinded to the treatment allocated to individual subjects, except when a medical emergency required knowledge of the treatment randomisation. If the randomisation code for a subject was broken by the study site, the subject was withdrawn from the study and a final assessment completed.
