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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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
    • To investigate the efficacy of goserelin 3.6 mg implant (when applied every 28 days for 56 days) in suppression of testosterone levels below castrate level (0.5 ng/ml). The study will be considered a successful bridging study, if the response rate, i.e., the percentage of patients with plasma testosterone levels below castrate level (0.5 ng/ml) on Days 28 and 56 (at Visits 4 and 6), will be at least 90% in the patients of the modified full analysis set (see Primary efficacy endpoint). • To demonstrate correct functionality of the application system, as assessed by an increase of plasma goserelin levels to a value above the Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) (i.e., presence of goserelin in plasma) and as assessed by the investigator with confirmation by a witness.
    Protection of trial subjects
    close monitoring of all subjects during the study including safety monitoring: • Findings from digital rectal examination of the prostate, • Adverse Events (AEs), • Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate), body weight and temperature, • Safety laboratory parameters • local tolerability of the implant

    Dosage and administration details
    Goserelin 3.6 mg implant was injected by a physician subcutaneously into the anterior abdominal wall at Day 0 and Day 28 according to the application instruction provided. Assessments concerning the applicator and its (correct) functionality was be made, a witness observed and also assessed the preparation for injection and the actual injection. In case the applicator failed the initial visual inspection or showed signs of non- functioning during preparation, injection or after injection, another applicator had to be used if necessary to achieve a successful implantation. Details had to be documented in the CRF and had to be reported to the CRO and the sponsor immediately. Any defective applicator had be sent to the sponsor for inspection as soon as possible. The duration of treatment in this study was two months (56 days) with two applications of goserelin.

    Percentage of patients with plasma testosterone below castrate level (0.5 ng/mL) at Visit 4 (Day 28) and visit 6 (day 56) [1]
    End point description
    A patient was considered a responder (response = ‘yes’), if both relevant values were below castrate level. If at least one of the two relevant values was equal to or above castrate level (i.e., ≥ 0.5 ng/mL), the patient was considered a non-responder (response = ‘no’). If at least one of the two relevant values was missing, the patient was also considered a non-responder (response = ‘no’, conservative approach).

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The primary endpoint was the percentage of patients with plasma testosterone below castrate level (0.5 ng/mL) at Visit 4 (Day 28) and visit 6 (day 56). In the FAS the percentage of patients with testosterone below castrate level at Visit 4 (Day 28) and Visit 6 (Day 56) (= response rate) was 93.94% with the corresponding exact 95% CI (79.77%; 99.26%). As the response rate was ≥90%, the study is considered a successful bridging study.

    Goserelin plasma levels are summarised by visit and are listed by patient. The arithmetic mean including standard deviation and the median of goserelin plasma levels measured by LC- MS/MS at Visits 3 to 6for the FAS and PP set. From Visit 3 (Day 14) on, all mean and median values of goserelin plasma levels were above the LLOQ (0.200 ng/mL) in the FAS and in the PP set. The highest arithmetic mean and median values of goserelin plasma levels were detected at Visit 3 (Day 14) and Visit 5 (Day 42) in both analysis sets. At the end of the first and and second treatment cycle, i.e. at Visit 4 (Day 28) and Visit 6 (Day 56), arithmetic mean values and median values were still above the LLOQ of 0.200 ng/mL.

A patient was considered to fulfil this criterion, if the goserelin value was above LLOQ at Visit 3 (Day 14) and higher than the goserelin value at the previous visit, i.e. Visit 2 (Day 0). Goserelin was assumed to be <LLOQ at Visit 2 (Day 0). Therefore, a value >LLOQ at Visit 3 (Day 14) reflects an increase compared to the previous visit.
