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   44334   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    D.8 Information on Placebo
    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Adrenal Insufficiency (AI) in children is most commonly due to Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) and results in cortisol deficiency with or without aldosterone deficiency and androgen excess. Current standard treatment in neonates is unsatisfactory, as unlicensed and crushed adult dosage formulations (Hydrocortisone tablets, 10 mg) are used. Infacort® is a new paediatric and neonatal formulation of hydrocortisone that is provided in appropriate unit dosage (0.5mg, 1.0mg, 2.0mg and 5mg).
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Adrenal Insufficiency in children due to Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia results in cortisol deficiency. To date there is no licensed treatment. Infacort® is a new formulation in suitable unit dosage.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Hormonal diseases [C19]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate significant absorption of hydrocortisone from the Infacort® preparation.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    In children with adrenal insufficiency receiving a single dose of Infacort® to assess:

    • The safety of Infacort®.
    • The tolerability of Infacort® in the target population.
    • The pharmacokinetics (PK) of Infacort® in the target population using a population PK approach.
    • Palatability.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Male and female children less than 6 years of age.
    2. A diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency as confirmed by an inappropriately low cortisol usually with other supporting tests.
    3. Receiving appropriate adrenocortical replacement therapy (hydrocortisone with/without fludrocortisone).
    4. Adequately hydrated and nourished.
    5. Ability of parents/carers to understand and give written Informed Consent (according to AMG §40 (1) 3b).
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Clinically evident acute adrenal insufficiency (adrenal crisis).
    2. Inability of the child to take oral therapy.
    3. Concomitant therapy (other than that required to treat adrenal insufficiency, Vitamin D, Fluoride, Thyroxine and growth hormone).
    4. Subjects with clinical signs of acute infection or fever on Day 1.
    5. Any surgical or medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator may place the subject at higher risk from his/her participation in the study.
    6. Parents/carers of subjects unwilling to consent to saving and propagation of pseudonymised medical data for study reasons.
    7. Subjects who are dependent on the investigator or the sponsor.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    • • The primary endpoint will be the maximum levels of serum cortisol concentration up to 240 minutes after intake of study drug as determined by the central laboratory.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    6 h after IMP administration
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary endpoints:
    • Serum cortisol concentration up to 6 hours after intake of study drug as determined by the central laboratory.

    • Palatability of the investigational product.

    • PK parameters estimated in the population PK analysis.

    Safety endpoints:
    Safety endpoints will be any (serious or non-serious) adverse events and vital signs observed throughout the study. Events (clinical or laboratory) related to a lack of absorption of hydrocortisone from Infacort® will be considered as lack of efficacy and not as adverse events.

    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    up to 6 h after IMP Administration

    safety endpoint will be determined 6-8 h after IMP administration
