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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    Time To Normalization Of NCC Adjusted For Mo Plasma Concentration In Participants With Elevated Baseline NCC
    End point description
    For time to normalization of NCC adjusted for Mo plasma concentration, a Kaplan-Meier approach was used where participants not normalized were censored at the latest observed time point. To achieve a normalized NCC concentration, participants must have demonstrated 2 consecutive measures within the normal range (0.8 to 2.3 μmol/L). Analyses includes all data up to the last assessment in the extension period for participants who reached the event of normalization of NCC corrected concentrations. Last Assessment is a summary of the last available post-baseline result for each participant. Analyses includes all data up to the last assessment in the extension period; up to Week 176. The analysis included participants who did not normalize. The values for these participants were censored to be the time of last observation in the Kaplan-Meier analysis.

    Change From Baseline In Clinical Symptoms As Assessed By The Investigators On The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale Items 1 (Severity Of Illness) And 2 (Global Improvement) At Week 24
    End point description
    CGI Severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale where the investigator rated the severity of the participant’s illness at the time of assessment, relative to the investigator’s past experience with participants who have the same diagnosis. Considering total clinical experience, a participant was assessed on severity of illness at the time of rating as: 1, normal, not at all ill; 2, borderline ill; 3, mildly ill; 4, moderately ill; 5, markedly ill; 6, severely ill; or 7, extremely ill. The CGI Improvement scale (CGI-I) is a 7 point scale where the clinician assessed how much the participant’s illness improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention and rated as: 1, very much improved; 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse; or 7, very much worse. Change from baseline = Baseline score - Week 24 score. Decrease in CGI-S score and increase in CGI-I score indicates improvement.

    Change From Baseline In Quality Of Life (QoL)/Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Assessed By The European Quality Of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) At Week 24
    End point description
    The EQ-5D VAS records the participant’s self-rated health as indicated on a 20 centimeter (cm) vertical VAS with endpoints labelled “the best health you can imagine” (20 cm) and “the worst health you can imagine” (0 cm) on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher scores for higher quality of life. Change from baseline = Baseline score - Week 24 score. An increase in score indicates improvement. Least square means and their 95% CIs were calculated using an REML-based MMRM with fixed effects for Baseline, cohort, visit, Baseline-by-visit, and cohort-by-visit interaction.

    Change From Baseline In Quality Of Life (QoL)/Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Assessed By The EQ5D Descriptive System UK Health Index Scores At Week 24
    End point description
    The EQ-5D-5L Descriptive System provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value for health status (UK Health Index Score) consisting of 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression), each of which can have 1 of 5 responses that represent 5 levels of severity (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, extreme problems). The participant was asked to indicate his/her health state for each of the 5 dimensions. This decision resulted in a 1-digit number expressing the level selected for that dimension. Digits for the 5 dimensions were combined in a 5-digit number describing the participant’s health state. Change from baseline = Baseline score - Week 24 score. An increase in score indicates improvement. Least square means and their 95% CIs were calculated using an REML-based MMRM with fixed effects for Baseline, cohort, visit, Baseline-by-visit, and cohort-by-visit interaction.

    QoL/PRO Assessed By The 8-Item Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) At Week 24
    End point description
    The MMAS-8 is a scale used to evaluate adherence to medication. The first 7 questions are yes or no questions. For Questions 1 through 4, 6, and 7, yes takes a value of 0 and no takes a value of 1. For Question 5, yes takes a value of 1 and no takes a value of 0. Question 8 has to be remapped as follows: 4 = 1, 3 = 0.75, 2 = 0.5, 1 = 0.25, 0 = 0. The total score was calculated by adding values for Questions 1 through 8 and thus has a maximum value of 8 (maximum adherence to medication). If 7 of the 8 questions were answered, the total score was pro-rated by dividing by 7 and multiplying by 8. If less than 7 questions were answered, the total score was not derived. Least square means and their 95% CIs were calculated using an REML-based MMRM with fixed effects for Baseline, cohort, visit, Baseline-by-visit, and cohort-by-visit interaction.

    The TSQM-9 was used to assess the overall level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with medication participants were taking. This composite scale is comprised of 2 items on the TSQM-9 survey: How satisfied are you that good things about this medication outweigh the bad things? Taking all things into account, how satisfied or dissatisfied are you with this medication? The TSQM-9 domain scores (effectiveness score, convenience score, global satisfaction score) range from 0 to 100 with higher scores representing greater satisfaction for the domain.

    Normalized concentrations of NCC was defined as who achieving or maintaining normalized levels of NCC (0.8-2.3 μM) adjusted for Mo plasma concentration or reaching a reduction of at least 25% in NCC corrected for Mo if above the normal reference range at the time of enrollment. NCC was calculated by subtracting the amount of Cu bound to Cp from the total plasma Cu concentration. Post-baseline NCC values were adjusted (corrected) to account for Cu bound in tripartite complexes with ALXN1840 and albumin.

    Treatment Period: ALXN1840 at individualized doses ranging from 15 to 60 milligrams (mg) per day. Dose increases or dose reductions were dependent on the individual non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper (NCC) concentrations adjusted for Mo plasma concentration. ALXN1840 may have been administered every other day, once daily, or twice daily, depending on individualized dosing regimen, for 24 weeks. Extension Period: Participants continued the same ALXN1840 daily dose maintained at Week 24 of the Treatment Period and the same dosing regimen. During the Extension Period, no up-titration was made unless NCC concentrations adjusted for Mo plasma concentration did not remain stable within (or below) the reference range.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Dec 2014
    • The 8-item Medication Adherence Questionnaire was replaced with the MMAS-8. • Number of planned study sites was increased. • Clarified that over the counter medication also had to be recorded as concomitant medication on the CRF. • Clarified that UWDRS (Parts I, II, and III), M.I.N.I. Tracking, CGI scale item 1, and EQ-5D had to be filled in within 24 hours prior to the first dose of study drug on Day 1. • Copper endpoints for serial assessment were changed from NCC, Mo, and exchangeable Cu to Cp, total and exchangeable Cu, and Mo. • Window periods for PK sampling were further specified. • Planned volume of blood to be collected by Week 24 was markedly decreased. • Creatinine phosphokinase was added to the laboratory measures. • Lactate dehydrogenase measurement, hematology parameters, coagulation parameters, pregnancy testing, follicle stimulating hormone, urinalysis, and analyses for Cp, total and exchangeable Cu, and total Mo were added to Screening. • A urine pregnancy test was added to Day 1 (prior to dosing). • Investigators’ obligations in relation to AE intensity assessment were further specified. • In relation to the informed consent form process, clarified that under certain circumstances, the signature of an impartial witness could be accepted. • Time windows for scheduled visits were defined.
    27 Feb 2015
    • Dosing of ALXN1840 during the Initiation Period was changed to 30 mg once daily (QD) from Day 1 for the first 6 weeks with the option to up-titrate to 30 mg twice daily (BID) upon review of the Day 43 NCC concentrations adjusted for Mo plasma concentration. • Dosing of ALXN1840 upon entry into the Maintenance Period was changed to 30 mg QD. • Dosing of ALXN1840 during the Maintenance Period in case NCC concentrations adjusted for Mo plasma concentration did not remain stable within the reference range was changed from re-initiation of BID daily dosing with the current dose (eg, 120 mg QD was increased to 120 mg BID) with potential, subsequent increases by 30 mg BID up to a maximum dose of 150 mg BID to up-titration to a maximum dose of 30 mg BID. • Off-site Visits were added in Weeks 7, 9, and 11. • Number of drug kits dispensed was reduced at some time points. • 24-hour urinary Mo was added as an evaluation criterion. • Planned volume of blood to be collected by Week 28 was increased by approximately 100 mL. • Time frame for reporting and follow-up of serious adverse events that were suspected to be drug-related was increased from the participant's study termination to up to 30 days after the participant's study termination.
    22 May 2015
    • A 12-month Extension Period was added to the study. • Primary objective was changed to “to evaluate the efficacy of ALXN1840 administered for 24 weeks on NCC concentrations adjusted for Mo plasma concentration in newly diagnosed WD patients aged 18 and older with NCC concentrations above the reference range at the time of enrollment”. •Secondary objective/efficacy endpoint was added: Evaluate the durability, and establish long-term safety and efficacy of ALXN1840 in a 12-month Extension Period. • Long term safety and tolerability of ALXN1840 obtained in the Extension Period was added as a safety endpoint. • Minimum starting dose of ALXN1840 was changed from 30 mg QD to 15 mg QD. • Formulation of study drug was changed from uncoated capsules containing 30 mg of bis-choline tetrathiomolybdate to enteric coated tablets containing 15 mg of bis-choline tetrathiomolybdate. • Mode of administration of study drug was changed from fed state to fasted state. • Number of drug kits dispensed was increased at some time points. • Clarified that, during the Extension Period, no up-titration was to be made unless NCC concentrations adjusted for Mo plasma concentration did not remain stable within (or below) the reference range. If the NCC concentration was above the reference range, up-titration of study drug might have been performed (ie, from 30 mg QD to 30 mg BID, or from 15 mg QD to 30 mg QD). • Stopping rules/dose modification criteria were modified. • Blood samples for the measurement of plasma concentrations of total and free Cu were added to the study. • Definition of the Maintenance Period was changed • Clarified that Off-site Visits could either be conducted by a visiting nurse or at the primary institution. • Safety monitoring guidelines were revised.
    11 Sep 2015
    • Primary objective was changed to “to evaluate the efficacy of ALXN1840 for 24 weeks on NCC adjusted for Mo plasma concentration in newly diagnosed WD patients aged 18 and older with NCC concentrations within or above the reference range at the time of enrollment in the study”. • Primary endpoint was changed to “the proportion of successful patients who achieve or maintain normalized concentrations of NCC (0.8 - 2.3 μM) adjusted for Mo plasma concentration or reach a reduction of at least 25% in NCC corrected for Mo if above the reference range at the time of enrollment”. • Primary efficacy variable was changed to “change from Baseline in NCC adjusted for Mo plasma concentration over 24 weeks”. • Clarified that, as the objective of the trial was going to be analyzed using primarily descriptive statistics, no formal power calculations had been done. • Clarified that, for participants with normal Cu concentration at Baseline, maintenance within the reference range was considered a success. • Inclusion Criterion 5 was changed to “NCC concentrations within or above the reference range (0.8 – 2.3 μM)”. • Exclusion Criterion 1 was changed to “Treatment for greater than 24 months for WD with chelation therapy … or Zn therapy”. • Starting dose of ALXN1840 in the Initiation Period was clarified. • Clarified that doses of ALXN1840 15 mg QD could be reduced to 15 mg QOD throughout the study. • Participants no longer had to be symptomatic with neurological, hepatic, or combined neurological and hepatic presentation to be eligible for enrollment. • Clarified that participants could enter the study into the Maintenance Period (ie, without participating in the Initiation Period), if their Screening NCC concentrations were within the reference range. • Reference range for NCC concentrations adjusted for Mo plasma concentration was specified to be 0.8 – 2.3 μM.
    18 Mar 2016
    • Extension Period was extended from 12 months to 36 months and clarified, for each participant, that the main study would end approximately 28 weeks after initiation of treatment on study Day 1. • Dosing scheme for ALXN1840 was changed from QD dosing in the morning and BID dosing (in the morning and in the evening) to QD dosing (in the morning) during the Initiation Period, because previous work in oncology with bis-choline tetrathiomolybdate had shown that both BID and QD dosing were effective in de-coppering and maintaining a de-coppered status and QD dosing was considered easier for the participants. • Clarified that, after review of NCC concentrations in Week 6, ALXN1840 might have been up-titrated as soon as in Week 8. • Clarified that participants remained in the Initiation Period until they met the criteria for the Maintenance Period (meaning that the length of the Initiation Period was individualized). • Exclusion Criterion 9 was corrected from “Severe anemia with a hemoglobin < 9 mg/dL” to “Severe anemia with a hemoglobin < 9 g/dL”. • Clarified that, at each Clinic Visit, participants did not only have to return unused medication, but also empty kits so that compliance could be calculated. • A urine sample for measurement of urinary creatinine was added to Screening, Day 1, all Clinic Visits (prior to dosing), and the End of Study Visit. • Laboratory tests for all periods of the study were further specified. • It was further specified what did not constitute an AE.
    27 Oct 2017
    • A description of the calculation of NCC concentrations adjusted for Mo plasma concentration was added based on a proposal by the American Association for the study of Liver Diseases and European WD practice guidelines.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to low chromatographic resolution of data, quantitative analysis for speciation profiling, as had been planned in the protocol, was not feasible.
