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   43861   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This is an exploratory study to evaluate changes in glycosphingolipid levels and other (exploratory) Fabry disease parameters in male Fabry disease subjects who were previously treated with agalsidase alfa (Replagal®) 0.2 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) every two weeks (q2w) and who were being switched to agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®) 1.0 mg/kg q2w.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates. The study was conducted by investigators experienced in the treatment of pediatric subjects. The parent(s) or guardian(s) as well as the children were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time. In addition to the consent form for the parent(s)/guardian(s), an assent form in child-appropriate language was provided and explained to the child. Repeated invasive procedures were minimized. The number of blood samples as well as the amount of blood drawn were adjusted according to age and weight. A topical anesthesia may have been used to minimize distress and discomfort.

    Primary: Percent Change From Baseline in Plasma Deacylated Globotriaosylceramide (Lyso-GL-3) at Month 2, 4 and 6

    End point title
    Percent Change From Baseline in Plasma Deacylated Globotriaosylceramide (Lyso-GL-3) at Month 2, 4 and 6 [1]
    End point description
    Percent change from baseline = ([post-baseline value minus baseline value] divided by [baseline value]) multiplied by 100. For levels reported as below quantitative limit (BQL), the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) value was divided by 2 and used in the calculation to estimate values in samples that were BQL. The LLOQ for plasma lyso-GL-3 was 5.0 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL). This study is exploratory because little is known about the dose-response of these biomarkers to enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) or about the clinical significance of the biomarkers. All enrolled subjects were included in the analysis. Here, 'n' signifies subjects with plasma Lyso-GL-3 assessment at the specified time point.

    Percent Change From Baseline in Urine GL-3 at Month 2, 4, and 6
    End point description
    Percent change from baseline = ([post-baseline value minus baseline value] divided by [baseline value]) multiplied by 100. For levels reported as BQL, the LLOQ value was divided by 2 and used in the calculation to estimate values in samples that were BQL. The LLOQ for urine GL-3 was 0.2 mcg/mL. The absolute values were calculated in microgram per millimole (mcg/mmol) of creatinine by dividing GL-3 (mcg/mL) by creatinine (mg/mL) and multiplying by 113.13 (mg/mmol), the molecular weight of creatinine. For levels reported BQL, the absolute values were calculated in microgram per millimole (mcg/mmol) of creatinine by dividing 0.1 (mcg/mL) by creatinine (mg/mL) and multiplying by 133.13 (mg/mmol). This study is exploratory because little is known about the dose-response of these biomarkers to ERT or about the clinical significance of the biomarkers. All enrolled subjects were included in the analysis. Here, 'n' signifies subjects with urine GL-3 assessment at the specified time point.

    Percent Change From Baseline in Gastrointestinal (GI) Symptoms (Abdominal Pain, Abdominal Distention, and Bowel Irregularities) at Month 2, 4, and 6
    End point description
    Gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and irregular bowel movements) were to be assessed by a modified version of the Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Severity Scoring System. The modified IBS Severity Scoring System is a 7-item questionnaire. The severity score calculated by summing the scores of 5 of the 7 questions. Each of the 5 questions were scored on a scale of 0 to 100, leading to a total possible score range of 0 to 500, where higher scores indicate more severe gastrointestinal symptoms. The data for this outcome measure was exploratory and to be collected in individual subject listing only. Analysis of this data was planned only if baseline data was collected on a large number of enrolled subjects. This was not the case and therefore interpretation of these results were not possible.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    This is considered to be an exploratory study for the following reasons: it was based on a small number of subjects and has been designed as an open-label, single-arm study as opposed to a two-arm crossover design.
