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   44138   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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
    The primary objective of the study is to investigate safety and tolerability of an Omega-3-FA-enriched lipid emulsion in adult patients with chronic intestinal failure (CIF) in need of long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN). It is aimed to show non-inferiority of the lipid emulsion Lipidem (investigational test product) in comparison to the lipid emulsion Lipofundin MCT (investigational reference product) with regard to liver function.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the “Declaration of Helsinki” and its amendments in force at the time of the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 First patient in: 08JAN2018 Last patient out: 24MAY2022 Decision to terminate the study early was taken on 19 July 2022 due to unsufficient recruitment. Eleven initiated sites in PL, IT, NL, UK and F, of which 9 sites successfully enrolled patients and contributed to the analyses.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 A total of 74 patients were screened (All Patient Screened Set) and enrolled (Intention-to-treat Set, ITT). 2 patients were not exposed to IP and are therefore excluded from all patients treated set (APTS, safety set).

    		 Subject, Investigator
    Blinding implementation details
    Blinded IP was provided to those investigational sites where the patient added lipid to the PN by him/herself. In those study sites where either the hospital pharmacy or a compounding unit (CU) prepared AIO PN-admixtures including the IP as the lipid part, unblinded IP was delivered to the pharmacy/ CU. The independent statistician provided randomization envelopes to the unblinded pharmacist for treatment allocation. The label of the AIO admixture did not show any unblinding information.

    The IPs were delivered as the lipid part of the PN. Besides the lipid, PN contained glucose, amino acids, electrolytes, trace elements and vitamins and were administered according to the individual patient’s normal prescription. To be eligible for the study, a patient’s prescription should have included a weekly lipid dose of at least 3.0 g lipid per kg (BW).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 2 subjects had been enrolled, but they have not been treated and were therefore not included in the safety and efficacy analyses population.

    [1] - The test procedure to show non-inferiority was a one-sided two-sample t-test (α-level: 0.025) for mean differences assuming equal variances and normality. The non-inferiority margin was defined as 1.151. The 2-sided confidence intervall was chosen to provide an upper and lower limit for the point estimate.
