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 safety of recombinant coagulation Factor IX Fc fusion protein (rFIXFc) in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with severe hemophilia B.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted by investigators experienced in the treatment of pediatric subjects. The parent(s) or guardian(s) as well as the children were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time. In addition to the consent form for the parent(s)/guardian(s), an assent form in child-appropriate language was provided and explained to the child. Repeated invasive procedures were minimized. The number of blood samples as well as the amount of blood drawn were adjusted according to age and weight. A topical anesthesia may have been used to minimize distress and discomfort.

    Subjects received rFIXFc intravenous (IV) injection as follows: Prophylactic treatment regimen: started with rFIXFc 50 International Units per kilogram (IU/kg) weekly until subject reached at least 50 exposure days (ED=24-hour period in which >=1 injection/dose of rFIXFc was given) to rFIXFc, withdrawal from study or end of study. Adjustments to dose and dosing interval was based on incremental recovery, subsequent Factor IX levels, physical activity, bleeding pattern, in accordance with local standards of care for prophylactic regimen (PR).

    Notes
    [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.
    Justification: Subjects were treated in more than one regimen and counted in all categories wherever applicable. 17 subjects among the 22 who started in episodic regimen, switched to the prophylactic treatment regimen.

    Annualized Number of Bleeding Episodes (Spontaneous and Traumatic) per Subject (Annualized Bleeding Rate [ABR])
    End point description
    ABR was annualized number of bleeding episodes during efficacy period (EP) per subject normalized to a 1-year interval of time. Bleeding episodes were classified as: spontaneous- if parent/caregiver/subject records bleeding event when there is no known contributing factor such as definite trauma or antecedent strenuous activity; and traumatic- when there is known reason for bleed. ABR=(Number of bleeding episodes during EP/total number of days during EP)*365.25. EP reflects the sum of all intervals of time during which subjects were treated with rFIXFc per treatment regimens excluding surgical/rehabilitation periods and large injection intervals (greater than [>]28 days). Subjects were included in summary of more than 1 treatment regimen if their regimen changed during study. Analysis performed on Full Analysis Set (FAS) which included all enrolled subjects with at least 1 dose of study treatment. Here, ‘n’ signifies number of FAS subjects who were analysed in each treatment regimen.

    All Adverse Events (AEs) were collected from signature of the informed consent form up to end of the study (up to 3 years) regardless of seriousness or relationship to investigational product.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Reported AE are treatment-emergent AE i.e. AE that was present prior to receiving first injection of rFIXFc and subsequently worsened in severity, or was not present prior to receiving first injection but subsequently appeared before last visit/follow-up call, whichever came later.

    Subjects received rFIXFc IV injection as follows: Prophylactic treatment regimen: started with rFIXFc 50 IU/kg weekly until subject reached at least 50 exposure days (ED=24-hour period in which >=1 injection/dose of rFIXFc was given) to rFIXFc, withdrawal from study or end of study. Adjustments to dose and dosing interval was based on incremental recovery, subsequent Factor IX levels, physical activity, bleeding pattern, in accordance with local standards of care for PR. Treatment with episodic (on demand) regimen can be initiated before PR at investigators discretion. Episodic (On demand; optional): rFIXFc at individual doses based on subject’s clinical condition, type and severity of bleeding event until PR.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    28 Feb 2017
    The primary reasons for this amendment were as follows: allowed subjects to begin treatment with rFIXFc study drug (including episodic treatment) after confirmation of eligibility, without requiring them to complete the baseline IR visit prior to starting treatment with study drug; removed exclusion criterion 3, which excluded subjects with hypersensitivity reaction associated with any intravenous immunoglobulin administration; added an optional collection of concomitant medication received by breastfeeding mothers of subjects; this data collection requires additional consent. An exception was included for infants who were receiving breast milk from sources other than their own mother (e.g., a breast milk bank); clarified how and when to calculate doses using actual potency versus nominal strength, and how and where to report dosing information (electronic case report form [eCRF] versus electronic patient diary [EPD]), as well as timing requirements for reporting dosing data in the EPD; explicitly described and justified the collection of race and ethnicity data.
    06 Aug 2018
    The primary reason for this amendment was to update the end of study (EOS) definition to align with the revised EU pediatric PIP by changing the enrollment target from 60 subjects enrolled to achieve at least 40 subjects with no less than 50 EDs, to 30 subjects enrolled to achieve at least 20 subjects reaching at least 50 EDs. This change resulted in redefining of the study treatment period from at least 100 EDs to at least 50 EDs, and removal of planned interim analysis. Additional clarification regarding use of bypassing agents to ensure subject safety was also added.
