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
    -To evaluate the effect of increasing the Human growth hormone (hGH) dose (0.6 versus 0.46 milligram per kilogram per week [mg/kg/week ] or 1.8 versus 1.4 international unit per kilogram per week [IU/kg/week]) on the statural response: 1) in subjects initially in the treated group of Study CTN 97-8129-016, by comparing the statural response observed with that obtained during the first therapeutic phase at a dose of 0.46 mg/kg/week, or 1.4 IU/kg/week. 2) in subjects initially in the control group of Study CTN 97-8129-016, by comparing the statural response observed with that of subjects in study CTN 94-8123-014. -To assess the value of early treatment during the course of arthritic disease by comparing the height acquired in the medium term by subjects in the two dose groups: treated from the start or 1 year to 15 months after the diagnosis of Chronic Juvenile Arthritis (CJA), or treated for 4 years after the diagnosis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

    		 Subjects who received matching placebo for 3 years during previous study CTN 97-8129-016, received somatropin (Genotonorm) up to 0.6 mg/kg/week, subcutaneously initially for first 3 years and then somatropin (Genotonorm) 0.46 mg/kg/week, subcutaneously until the additional study drug dose evaluation visit and thereafter received somatropin (Genotonorm) 50 microgram/kilogram/day (mcg/kg/day), subcutaneously until the final height was reached or up to Year 8.5.

    Annual rate of growth SDS was obtained by measuring the annual growth rate, subtracting chronological age- and gender-appropriate mean annual growth rate and dividing the result by standard deviation of that mean (as obtained from chronological age- and gender-specific population reference data). SDS indicated how many standard deviations higher (in case of positive SDS) or lower (in case of negative SDS) subject’s value was relative to the mean of the reference population.

    Body weight was measured using a balance scale. Weight SDS was obtained by measuring the weight, subtracting age- and gender- appropriate mean weight and dividing the result by standard deviation of that mean (as obtained from age- and gender-specific population reference data). SDS indicated how many standard deviations higher (in case of positive SDS) or lower (in case of negative SDS) subject’s value was relative to the mean of the reference population. FAS included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study treatment and had at least 1 post-baseline height measurement. Here, 'n' signifies those subjects who were evaluable for this measure at given time points for each group respectively. Here "99999" in the median and full range values signifies not estimable (NA), since none of the subjects were available in the group "Somatropin (With Previous Somatropin Exposure)" at given time point.

    		 Subjects who received low dose of somatropin (Genotonorm) for 3 years during previous study CTN 97-8129-016, received somatropin (Genotonorm) up to 0.6 mg/kg/week, equivalent to 1.8 IU/kg/week, divided in 7 daily doses subcutaneously initially for first 3 years and then somatropin (Genotonorm) 0.46 mg/kg/week, equivalent to 1.4 IU/kg/week, divided in 7 daily doses subcutaneously until the additional study drug dose evaluation visit and thereafter received somatropin (Genotonorm) 50 mcg/kg/day, equivalent to 0.35 mg/kg/week or 1.05 IU/kg/week, subcutaneously until the final height was reached or up to Year 8.5. Final height was confirmed to have been achieved if the growth velocity was <=to 1.5 cm per year during the preceding 12 months and bone age was >=17 years for boys and 15 years for girls.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Sep 2004
    1- Visits at month 3, month 9, month 15, month 21, month 27 and month 33 were not applicable for children who were not receiving Genotonorm due to the discontinuation of corticosteroid therapy. 2- If corticosteroid therapy was discontinued in children at the beginning or during the study for at least 6 months and the height was greater than (>) -2 Standard Deviation (SD) for chronological age, then Genotonorm treatment was stopped and could only be resumed if corticosteroid therapy was resumed for at least 3 months and the investigative doctor considered it beneficial for the child. 3- If 2 consecutive measurements of the level of IGF-1 were above 2 SD, then the daily dosage of Genotonorm was decreased by 20 percent (%). 4- If the measurement of glucose in the urine was found to be above 10 gram/24 hours on 3 occasions, then the dosage of the growth hormone was decreased by 20% and further metabolic monitoring (fasting blood glucose and glucose in the urine) was done in the month following the dose change.
    04 Feb 2005
    1- Every year, following examinations were required to be performed in addition to examinations performed during a six-month visit: Serum calcium; serum phosphorus; 25 hydroxy (OH) vitamin D3 and 1.25 dihydroxy (OH)2 vitamin D3 and Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels; Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); Collection of 24-hour urine for calcium and creatinine; Collection of 2 mL of serum (4 x 0.5 mL); Bone age: radiography of 2 wrists. 2- The maximum dose administered was reduced to 0.46 mg 1.4 IU/kg/week from 0.6 mg 1.8 IU/kg/week. 3- Genotonorm treatment was adapted according to IGF-1 rates which were maintained below or equal to +2.5 SD for chronological age and If IGF-1 rates were above +2.5 SD the dose of growth hormone was decreased by 20%. 4- In the case of diabetes defined by blood glucose at time T120 mins of OGTT ≥11.1 millimole per liter (mmol/L) or fasting blood glucose >=7.0 mmol/L, the Genotonorm dose was reduced by 40% and another OGTT check was done after 3 months of dose adjustment. That diabetes was reported as an adverse event and If It persisted, Genotonorm treatment was interrupted and the event was reported as a serious adverse event.
    29 Nov 2007
    Genotonorm treatment was adapted according to IGF-1 levels which were maintained below or equal to +2 SD for chronological age and sex and If IGF-1 level was above +2 SD, then the growth hormone dose was decreased by 20%.
    16 Feb 2011
    The maximal dose of somatropin was limited up to 50 mcg/kg/day (0.35 mg [1.05 IU/kg/week]) in relation to the ongoing review of safety of somatropin- containing products.

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Data for bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC) and IGFBP3 were not analyzed because of change in planned analysis after the study was prematurely terminated due to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) non-compliance issues.
