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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 document the efficacy of Hemangiol administered during at least 6 months and upto a maximum of 12 months of age in infants with high risk infantile haemangioma (IH)
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in compliance with GCP (CPMP/ICH/135/95), ethical principles that have the origins in the amended version of the Declaration of Helsinki, and all SOPs interne to Pierre Fabre. Trial subjects were infants aged 35 to 142 days (corrected age) at inclusion. The informed consents were obtained from parents prior to screening. The information consent form, in the local language of the 2 participating countries (Spanish in Spain and Polish in Poland), detailled the procedures involved, the aims, methodology, constraints, potential risks to the study subject and the rights of the parents to withdraw consent at any stage or time of the study. The investigators exposed in detail to the parents, in a layman language the what, the why and the how of the study.
    Background therapy
    No other therapies, (other than the subject's usual treatments which do not fall in the non-inclusion criteria defined in the protocol), were administered in the framework of the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects were recruited within the medical consultations of physicians who are familiar with the management of IH (4 centres in Poland, 6 in Spain): infants with severe IH in proliferative phase, in the age group 25 to 142days (corrected age). The included subjects had to be able to complete the initial treatment period (6 months) before age 1 year

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    46 subjects aged, 35 - 150 days (corrected age for premature infants), with high risk IH and, in accordance with Hemangiol SmPC were screened and 45 patients were included in the study. The one patient excluded did not meet the 35 - 150 days age criteria.

    Pre-assignment period milestones
    Number of subjects started
    46 [1]
    Number of subjects completed

    Pre-assignment subject non-completion reasons
    Reason: Number of subjects
    Age criteria not met: 1
    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 46 patients were screened for enrolment and 45 patients were definitely enrolled in the study as an inclusion criterion was not met for one patient

    Justification: Only 8 of the 34 patients who were in success at the end of the initial treatment period needed to be re-treated in the Investigator's opinion during the follow-up period (success regression) and entered the re-tretreatment period as per protocol.

    Primary Criterion - Success rate at the end of the initial treatment period (FAS) [1]
    End point description
    The primary outcome measure was treatment success at the end of the initial treatment period. Success was determined by the Investigator and was defined as the resolution of the target IH and the absence of functional impact linked to the target IH.

    End point timeframe
    11 months
    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 statistical analysis was purely descriptive with no p value provided as the trial was non comparative for ethical reasons: the primary endpoint was the success rate at the end of the initial treatment period with Hemangiol(R) (after 6 months or until success before one year of age) and this rate was 34/45=75.6% 95% CI [61.7;86.3]. Of note the number of patients in success ("34") is specified in the field labelled "Count". The same has been done for the other efficacy endpoints.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Dec 2015
    Replacement of “relapse” by “success regression” throughout protocol. Success regression, based on the Investigator’s opinion could lead to 3 options: re-initiation, follow-up without re-initiation, withdrawal. Visits: renumbering of visits as D1, D8 and D15 (instead of D0, D7 and D14). Instructions to patients: clarification that syringes included in study treatment should be returned to the study centre. Note: as these above points were mentioned in the information leaflet, an additional information leaflet and corresponding ICF was prepared for signature by all patients’ parents at the time of amendment approval. Number of patients: clarification that the number of ulcerated IHs (as main severity reason) limited to 2 patients per centre. Recruitment per centre capped to 8 patients maximum to avoid excessive influence of any given centre. Note: these two criteria were met by the previous 41 patients enrolled under the initial protocol. Precisions to procedures in case of safety issues at titration and/or in case of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI): In case of safety issue at dose increase, the dose could be postponed 2 times/dose (1 week between 2 attempts). If after the third attempt (i.e. 1 initial attempt + 2 additional) the safety issue remains, treatment was definitively stopped and patient withdrawn. In case of bronchitis or LRTI, treatment was stopped immediately until full recovery. Re-administration did not necessitate an up-titration (i.e. full maintenance dose can be given directly).
