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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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 ).

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A multicentre, multinational, randomised, parallel-group, placebo-controlled (double blind) and active-controlled (open) trial to compare the efficacy and safety of once-weekly dosing of NNC0195-0092 with once-weekly dosing of placebo and daily Norditropin® FlexPro® in adults with growth hormone deficiency for 35 weeks, followed by a 53-week open-label extension period

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    In the main phase of the study, 8 weeks of titration was followed by 26 weeks of fixed dose administration followed by a 1 week washout period. In the open-label extension phase, 8 weeks of titration was followed by 44 weeks of fixed dose administration followed by a 1-week washout period.

    Dosage and administration details
    Subjects injected themselves once-weekly subcutaneously (s.c.; under the skin) in the morning (before 10 AM). On site visit days this was extended until 12:00 PM (noon). Injections were taken in the thigh and/or abdomen alternating within these body areas for every injection. Subjects were trained to use the pen injector under the supervision of site staff. Dose adjustments were allowed during the first 8 weeks titration period (at week 2, 4, 6 and 8). Dose adjustments were based on insulin like growth factor - I (IGF-I) standard deviation score (SDS). The minimum and maximum weekly dose was set to 0.1 mg and 8 mg, respectively.

    Dosage and administration details
    Subjects injected themselves daily subcutaneously (s.c.; under the skin) in the evening, which was usual practice except when administered under observation. On site visit days the product was administered in the morning (up to 12 PM) and at least 12 hours after injection, the evening before. Injections were taken in the thigh and/or abdomen alternating within these body areas for every injection. Subjects were trained to use the pen injector under the supervision of site staff. Dose adjustments were allowed during the first 8 weeks titration period (at week 2, 4, 6 and 8). Dose adjustments were based on insulin like growth factor - I (IGF-I) standard deviation score (SDS). The minimum and maximum weekly dose was set to 0.05 mg and 1.1 mg, respectively. In Japanese subjects, the maximum daily dose was set to 1.0 mg.

    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: Two subjects on Norditropin, who completed the main phase didn’t initiate treatment in the extension phase.

    Changes in truncal fat percentage from baseline to the 34 week’s measurements was analysed using an analysis of covariance model with treatment, growth hormone deficiency (GHD) onset type, sex, region, diabetes mellitus (DM) and sex by region by DM interaction as factors and baseline as a covariate. The analysis was conducted using a multiple imputation technique where trajectory after a withdrawn subjects last observation was imputed based on data from the placebo arm.

    Incidence of adverse events, including injection site reactions (week 35)
    End point description
    All presented adverse events (AEs) are treatment emergent, which was defined as an AE with onset date after first trial product administration and no later than 7 days of last trial product administration. The results were based on the safety analysis set (SAS) which included all randomised subjects who received at least one dose of randomised treatment.

    Reporting group title
    Placebo/Somapacitan
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who received placebo in the main period, were switched to receive somapacitan for 52 weeks (8 weeks dose titration followed by 44 weeks fixed dose treatment) in the extension period of the trial.

    Reporting group title
    Somapacitan/Somapacitan
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who received somapacitan in the main period, continued to receive somapacitan for 52 weeks (8 weeks dose titration followed by 44 weeks fixed dose treatment) in the extension period of the trial.

    Reporting group title
    Norditropin/Norditropin
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who received norditropin in the main period, continued to receive norditropin for 52 weeks (8 weeks dose titration followed by 44 weeks fixed dose treatment) in the extension period of the trial.

    Reporting group title
    Norditropin/Somapacitan
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who received norditropin in the main period, were switched to receive somapacitan for 52 weeks (8 weeks dose titration followed by 44 weeks fixed dose treatment) in the extension period of the trial.

    Reporting group title
    Norditropin/No treatment
    Reporting group description
    Subjects in this group received norditropin in the main phase of the study but were not re-randomised in the extension phase of the study and hence did not receive any product.

    Date
    Amendment
    07 Jan 2015
    Updates based on comments received on the protocol during End of Phase 2 meetings with US Food and drug administration (FDA) and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, Japan (PMDA): FDA: Primary analysis to be based on intention-to-treat principle; Additional antibody and PK sampling to align with the time points for immunogenicity assessments as recommended in the FDA Immunogenicity guideline of February 2013; Inclusion of subjects with diabetes. PMDA: Patients with diabetes mellitus will be excluded at sites in Japan. Application of Japanese guidelines for the diagnosis of adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) for patients included at sites in Japan. Changes to subect information-informed consent (SI-IC): specification of discontinuation of trial drug, and withdrawal and termination of the trial; Urine sample was deleted and eye examination was added. Full title was added.
    29 Jan 2015
    Based on feedback from Ethics Committee, clarifications and feedback from investigators: Alternative test for adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test (limited availability in some countries). Impact on inclusion criterion regarding serum levels of free thyroxine (T4) and the patient informed consent form. Process for local tolerability assessments includes external review of photos by a dermatologist. Clarification of follow-up process after last patient last visit (LPLV) if 2 consecutive positive antibody results. Ethics Committee, Germany: 2 additional exclusion criteria added, applicable to Germany only. These criteria cover exclusion of patients committed to an institution and persons employed with the sponsor/CRO/trial centre. Novo Nordisk: Clarifications when and how deviation from the titration schedule should be handled; adrenal insufficient patients on stable replacement therapy for 3 months the option of re-screening.
    24 Sep 2015
    This amendment was implemented due to recruitment difficulties and more flexibility was needed in the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and titration visit schedule. Allowed visits 1a and 1b to be combined into one visit. Request from FDA to ensure that electrocardiograms (ECGs) were performed at time of mean Cmax. Changes to SI-IC: Information added that replacement therapy could be initiated if low thyroid or adrenal function or testosterone levels. Text on evidence of intracranial tumour growth was rephrased (‘no evidence of intracranial tumour growth since removal of the tumour’).
