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   43857   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    In Part A, to describe the distribution of serum triglycerides (TGs) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) by degree of PEI as determined by levels of faecal elastase-1 concentrations (FEC). In Part B, to evaluate and compare the plasma exposure of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from EPANOVA® and OMACOR®, respectively, in patients with T2DM with different levels of FEC.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with International Council for Harmonisation/Good Clinical Practice and applicable regulatory requirements and the AstraZeneca policy on Bioethics.
    Background therapy
    -
    Evidence for comparator
    OMACOR® is an omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters formulation that is approved treatment for the same indication as EPANOVA®, i.e. as an adjunct to diet to reduce TG levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridaemia and is used as a comparator in this study. OMACOR® requires hydrolysis in the small intestine by pancreatic lipase for intestinal absorption whereas EPANOVA® does not.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 490 patients were screened and of these, 315 patients met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria and completed the first part of the study. 51 patients were randomised to treatment in the second part of the study.

    Arm description
    Part A investigated serum lipids, especially TGs and FEC as a measure of pancreatic exocrine function in the study population. Patients in the Low FEC group were determined to have FEC levels <100 microgram per gram (mcg/g). No treatment was administered in Part A which was a recruitment phase for Part B. In Part B, study treatment was administered at Visit 4 and Visit 7 with a randomised crossover design to a treatment sequence: AB (a single dose of EPANOVA® 4 g followed by a single dose of OMACOR® 4 g) or BA (a single dose of OMACOR® 4 g followed by a single dose of EPANOVA® 4 g).

    Part B: Baseline corrected maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax) for total EPA following administration of EPANOVA® and OMACOR®.
    End point description
    Baseline corrected Cmax was measured for total EPA following administration of single oral doses of EPANOVA® 4 g (A) and OMACOR® 4 g (B) (2-way crossover design) to patients with T2DM and different degrees of PEI. Data is presented for the PK Analysis Set which included all randomised patients who received at least one dose of study treatment in Part B and had at least one post-dose PK measurement without any important protocol deviations.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All adverse events (AEs) were collected until the safety follow-up contact (Visit 10). Serious AEs were collected from Visit 1 (screening) onwards over a period of up to 13 weeks. Other AEs were recorded from Visit 2 over a period of 7 weeks.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Regular investigator assessment at study sites. Population used was the Safety Analysis Set which included all patients who received at least 1 dose of study treatment in Part B.
