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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    -To evaluate the safety and tolerability of an iv serelaxin infusion in addition to standard of care in hospitalized pediatric patients with AHF -To investigate the effects of age on the pharmacokinetics of serelaxin given as iv infusion in addition to standard of care in hospitalized pediatric patients with AHF
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial. The investigator could prescribe any medications and/or supportive care during the study based on clinical needs.

    Serelaxin: Cohort 1
    Arm description
    Serelaxin was administered intravenously on top of standard therapy for acute heart failure, for a total of 48 hours. In Cohort 1, patients in age group of 6 to <18 years were enrolled either into a low-dose or a high-dose group. During this 48-hour treatment period, the serelaxin dose rates to be administered were 3 μg/kg/day, 10 μg/kg/day and 30 μg/kg/day in the low -dose group; 10 μg/kg/day, 30 μg/kg/day and 100 μg/kg/day in the high-dose group. Both the low-dose and high- dose groups were planned to receive equal number of patients.

During this 48-hour treatment period, the serelaxin dose rates to be administered were 3 μg/kg/day, 10 μg/kg/day and 30 μg/kg/day in the low -dose group; 10 μg/kg/day, 30 μg/kg/day and 100 μg/kg/day in the high-dose group.

    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.

In Cohort 1, patients in age group of 6 to <18 years were enrolled either into a low-dose or a high-dose group. During this 48-hour treatment period, the serelaxin dose rates to be administered were 3 μg/kg/day, 10 μg/kg/day and 30 μg/kg/day in the low -dose group; 10 μg/kg/day, 30 μg/kg/day and 100 μg/kg/day in the high-dose group. Both the low-dose and high- dose groups were planned to receive equal number of patients.

    Serelaxin was administered intravenously on top of standard therapy for acute heart failure, for a total of 48 hours. In Cohort 2, patients in age group of 1 to <6 years were enrolled either into a low-dose or a high-dose group. During this 48-hour treatment period, the serelaxin dose rates to be administered were 3 μg/kg/day, 10 μg/kg/day and 30 μg/kg/day in the low -dose group; 10 μg/kg/day, 30 μg/kg/day and 100 μg/kg/day in the high-dose group. Both the low-dose and high- dose groups were planned to receive equal number of patients.

    Serelaxin: Cohort 3
    Reporting group description
    Serelaxin was administered intravenously on top of standard therapy for acute heart failure, for a total of 48 hours. In Cohort 3, patients in age group of 1 month to <1 year were enrolled either into a low dose or a high-dose group. During this 48-hour treatment period, the serelaxin dose rates to be administered were 3 μg/kg/day, 10 μg/kg/day and 30 μg/kg/day in the low -dose group; 10 μg/kg/day, 30 μg/kg/day and 100 μg/kg/day in the high-dose group. In this cohort, high- dose group was planned to receive twice the number of patients in low-dose group.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Mar 2014
    No patients had entered this study at the time of this amendment. Health Authority review of the original protocol resulted in study design changes regarding the starting dose (low dose group was added) and the patient sample size. Additional analyses were added with regard to vital signs and adverse events. Feedback from pediatric cardiology experts led to small changes to the exclusion criteria and clarification regarding the criteria for inclusion of patients with a chest x-ray done as part of their standard-of-care.
    20 Aug 2014
    No patients had entered the study at the time this amendment was prepared. This amendment mainly described the sub-study regarding additional data collection that was to be conducted in a small number of participating study sites (1-2 sites), which would enable a more in depth exploration of serelaxin’s PK-PD relationship
    30 Sep 2016
    Fourteen patients had been enrolled in the study at the time this amendment was prepared. The protocol was amended to incorporate changes to enhance the recruitment feasibility for the study without compromising the study objectives or patient safety.

    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.
    Due to the early termination of the study, the planned analyses were not performed as the limited set of data would preclude meaningful interpretation.
