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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 objective was to evaluate the ability of different doses of palovarotene to prevent heterotopic ossification (HO) at the flare-up site in subjects with FOP as assessed by plain radiographs. Images were evaluated for HO and soft tissue edema by a central imaging laboratory using two independent treatment-blinded procedures: Primary Reads and Global Reads. For Primary Reads, two musculoskeletal radiologists independently evaluated the volume of HO and soft tissue edema from each relevant imaging modality with no comparisons across modalities. Global Reads were performed by one of these radiologists, an independent musculoskeletal consultant radiologist, an independent consultant ultrasound radiologist, and the Investigators. From Global Reads, HO was evaluated only after the review of all images across all modalities and time points. Primary Reads were used to assess primary outcomes, per protocol. Global Reads were more holistic, and used to elucidate efficacy results.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The clinical study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, inclusive of any subsequent amendment(s), and that are consistent with the ICH Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP), EU Directive 2001/20/EC, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Code of Federal Regulations and other applicable local regulatory requirements, which ever afforded the greater subject protection. The study protocol and informed consent (ICF)/assent documents to be used in the clinical study were approved by an IRB/IEC prior to initiation of the study. The ICF was written in a language and in a form understandable to the subjects/parents.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Eight subjects aged ≥15 years were randomized 3:1 to palovarotene:placebo in Cohort 1; 8 additional subjects were randomised 3:1 in an interim period between Cohorts 1 and 2 (included in the description of Cohort 1). In Cohort 2, additional FOP subjects aged ≥6 years were randomized 3:3:2 across two weight-based regimens of palovarotene or placebo.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study included clinically diagnosed FOP subjects at least 6 years of age (Cohort 2) or 15 years of age and older (Cohort 1) with symptomatic onset of a flare-up within 7 days of treatment start and accessible for treatment and follow-up.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Radiography was less sensitive than CT for detecting new HO. Also, some subjects had new HO only at Week 12. Thus, Global Read data are presented where available using more sensitive CT scans at Week 12 in the PP population.
