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
    The primary objectives were to evaluate the safety and tolerability of nalbuphine HCl ER tablets during a drug treatment period of up to 24 weeks. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of nalbuphine HCl ER tablets by achieved dose at the end of Treatment Period Week 3. The exploratory objectives are to evaluate the effect of nalbuphine HCl ER tablets on: • changes in Patient-Reported Outcome measures (NRS, Skindex-10, Itch MOS Sleep, HADS, PADS) during the Treatment Period • percentage of patients utilizing various doses of nalbuphine HCl ER tablets by Study Week • change in worst itch NRS and other PROs following a +/- 30 mg BID titration • frequency and reasons for dose up- and down-titration and treatment discontinuation during the study • changes in the PRO measurements during the Washout Period after cessation of treatment of nalbuphine HCl ER tablets • time to first use of rescue medications and the number of days of use of rescue medications for itching.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Eligible patients who had successfully completed the TR02 study and wished to participate in TR02ext were enrolled, treated, and analyzed.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Of the three hundred seventy-three patients that were randomized to TR02, 184 subjects both completed TR02 and enrolled into TR02ext. 167 subjects who enrolled into TR02ext were exposed to nalbuphine HCl ER tablet administration and are the basis of the study safety population analysis.

    The nalbuphine dose was titrated based on NRS scores between Treatment Visits 1 and 3, after which time the dose achieved (30 mg QD – 120 mg BID) as of the end of Treatment Week 3 was maintained up to an additional 21 weeks. At the end of the titration period at week 3 of the Treatment Period the distribution of dosing was 14 subjects (8.4%) at 30 mg BID, 35 subjects (21%) at 60 mg BID, 30 subjects (18%) at 90 mg BID and 70 subjects (41.9%) at 120 mg BID. 8 subjects (4.8%) were missing data. Analyzing the distribution of study drug use over the course of the study shows that 120 mg BID was the most frequent dose used by patients followed by the 60 BID dose.

    There was a shift in PADS scores in subjects evaluated in the End of Treatment Visit in the direction of more subjects with PADs “A” scores and fewer subjects with PADS “B” and “C” scores. Of the 167 subjects in the safety population, 99 subjects completed an End of Treatment Visit. Of the 99 these subjects, 17/99 (17%) were classified by the PADS as “A”; 61/99 (62%) were classified as “B” and 21/99 (21%) were classified as “C” patients at TR02ext baseline. At the End of Treatment Visit, the distribution of the PADS scores among those 99 subjects were: 44/99 (44%) PADS “A”; 46/99 (46%) PADS “B” and 9/99 (9%) PADS “C”. 99 (8%) subjects shifted from PADS “A” to PADS “B” or from PADS “A” or PADS “B” to PADS “C”.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: Non-serious Adverse Events were not reported out in a separate and distinct data listing for this trial. The number of subject experiencing non-serious adverse events is 79 based on the following: Safety population = 167 Subjects experiencing no TEAE = 34 Subjects with TEAE = 133 Subjects with serious TEAE = 54.
