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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    The primary objective of this study was to assess the dose-response relationship of vilaprisan (VPR) in subjects with uterine fibroids.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice. Before entering the study, the informed consent form was read by and explained to all subjects. Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

    Recruitment details
    		 The study was conducted at multiple centers in 12 countries worldwide between 15 May 2014 (first subject first visit) and 04 May 2016 (last subject last visit).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 748 subjects were enrolled; 439 subjects were not randomized, the majority was screen failures. Therefore, 309 subjects were randomized. 9 randomized subjects were not treated. 14 subjects prematurely discontinued study treatment. Overall, 93% of randomized subjects completed the treatment period; 79% of subjects completed the follow-up period.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Not all enrolled subjects received treatment. Only treated subjects were included in the baseline period. There were 2 subjects (1 subject in VPR 0.5 mg group and 1 subject in placebo group) who did not complete treatment period but completed follow-up period according to protocol. These 2 subjects were considered not completed for overall study.

    End point description
    Onset of controlled bleeding was defined by the first day, for which the MBL (assessed by MP, Version 2014) for all subsequent 28-day periods up to the end of the treatment period was less than 80 mL. Kaplan-Meier estimated time to onset of controlled bleeding (days) was reported. Number of bleeding events was 59, 61, 59, 53, 26 for VPR 4 mg, VPR 2 mg, VPR 1 mg, VPR 0.5 mg and placebo respectively. '99999' indicates that the data were not appilcable for that specific reporting group.

    		 Percent change in volume of largest fibroid compared to baseline measured by MRI
    End point description
    Pelvic Magnetic resonance imagings (MRI), without contrast agents, were performed for volume measurements of the uterus and fibroids preferably using 1.5 Tesla scanners or higher. Images were sent to the imaging core laboratory for evaluation. Volume measurements of the uterus and fibroids were performed centrally by independent radiologist(s).

    		 Estimated dose-response curve based on amenorrhea - E0 and Emax
    End point description
    The primary objective was to estimate the dose-response curve based on the primary endpoint: subjects with amenorrhea. The number of subjects with amenorrhea was assumed to be binomial distributed. A 4 parameters logistic model was used to fit the observed data for characterizing the dose-response curve: E0, Emax, ED50 and δ. The model is defined as p(d)=E0 + Emax/{1+ e^[{ED50-d)/δ]}. E0 is the amenorrhea rate for placebo; Emax is the maximum effect attributable to the drug (compared with the basal effect with dose at d=0 [placebo group], the maximum increase of drug effect).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    01 Apr 2014
    Following advice from FDA, the changes below were made. - Stratification of the treatment groups by baseline hemoglobin level was added. - A requirement for an immediate unscheduled endometrial biopsy was added in the event of endometrial thickness (double layer) > 18 mm or a suspicious bleeding pattern was detected. Prior to this, subjects were to be followed, and an unscheduled biopsy was to be conducted after 1 month if not resolved. - The requirement of using a non-hormonal barrier method of contraception during the study was changed to a double-barrier method. * Rationale was added explaining the expectation that 17% of subjects would be excluded from the PPS.. - The WHO confirmed the international nonproprietary name “vilaprisan” for BAY 1002670, which was implemented. The WHO confirmed the international nonproprietary name “vilaprisan” for BAY 1002670, which was implemented.
    26 Sep 2014
    - Per a request from the Swedish authorities, examples of diseases, conditions, and concomitant medications that would exclude a subject from participating in the study were added. - Allowance to include subjects with prior dilation and curettage and myomectomy was added based on feedback from the investigators meeting and an ethics committee. - Changes for statistical analyses were introduced for following exploratory efficacy variables: a. Percentage of subjects with a volume reduction of >/= 25% of the 3 largest fibroids (not the total fibroid volume) measured by MRI and ultrasound b. Evaluation of the CGI-C/PGI-C not only at EoT, but also during the follow-up period. c.Based upon newly available data from PK investigations, the exclusion of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment was added. d. The exclusion of solarium visits during treatment was added. e. Instructions were added to avoid screening subjects who were unlikely to meet the inclusion criterion on heavy bleeding. f. If PAECs were detected in the biopsy at FUP 3, a recommendation to take a new biopsy was added.
