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   44157   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7327   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 evaluate the efficacy of GS010 compared with Sham at Week 48 in the change from baseline of the logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (LogMAR) in participants affected for more than 6 months and up to 12 months by Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).
    Protection of trial subjects
    In order to ensure the protection of trial participants, a Data and Safety Monitoring Board meeting was convened at least every 6 months to review the safety data. Additionally, to minimize pain, an intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering agent was administered 60-120 minutes prior to investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration. Finally, the following safety assessments were conducted: - IOP of each eye was measured using Goldmann applanation tonometry according to the usual procedure at each site. - A fluorescein angiogram was obtained at post-IMP administration visits at which the investigator documents the initial presence of significant vitreous inflammation that requires treatment.

    An unmasked team at the site performed all procedures on Day 0 (treatment day) and Day 1 and focused follow-up of ocular AEs commencing on Day 0 and 1 until resolution of the AE or the determination that no further clinical evolution is expected. The unmasked team includes the injecting investigator(s), allied medical professionals who assist with IVT injection and ophthalmic technicians/optometrists who perform vision testing on Day 1. The Principal Investigator remained masked until study end.

    Overall trial: All participants
    Arm description
    All participants who were enrolled and received both study treatments, GS010 and Sham. Participants were randomly assigned to receive GS010 in either the right or left eye. The same participants also received the sham comparator in the eye not assigned to GS010 at the same visit. GS010: Either the right or left eye received one single dose of GS010 via an intravitreal (IVT) injection containing 9E10 viral genomes in 90 μl balanced salt solution (BSS) plus 0.001% Pluronic F68®. Sham procedure: Either the right or left eye (the eye not randomly assigned to GS010) received the sham procedure. One single sham IVT injection was performed by applying pressure to the eye at the location of a typical IVT injection procedure, using the blunt end of a syringe without a needle.

    The assessment of standardized automated visual fields was measured using the Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) Analyzer II. Automated visual fields included the assessment of foveal threshold sensitivities. Foveal threshold sensitivity is measured in decibels (dB), which ranges from 0 dB to 50 dB. A sensitivity threshold of 0 dB indicates not being able to see the most intense perimetric stimulus, while higher dB indicates better/normal foveal vision. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement of symptoms.

Participants read the letters, starting with the highest contrast, until they are unable to read 2 or 3 letters in a single group. Each eye is assigned a score based on the contrast of the last group in which 2 or 3 letters were correctly read. A score of 2.0 log of contrast sensitivity (LogCS) units, which represents a normal sensitivity contrast, indicates that the eye was able to detect 2 of the 3 letters with a contrast of 1 percent (contrast sensitivity = 100 percent or log 2). Scores less than 2.0 signify poorer contrast sensitivity. Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity score of less than 1.5 is consistent with visual impairment and a score of less than 1.0 represents in visual disability. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement in symptoms.

    Change from Baseline in Color Vision at Week 48 and Week 96
    End point description
    The assessment of color vision was measured using the Farnsworth Munsell 100-Hue Color Test. Each of the 4 trays consisted of 21 movable caps. Participants were asked to sort the randomly arranged caps following the hue order from the first to the last fixed caps. The total error score was derived by counting the number of caps misplaced. A lower score indicates improved color discrimination ability. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement in symptoms.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Jun 2015
    In Global Revision 1, the protocol was revised to incorporate the following: 1. Added newly determined names of the current studies (RESCUE and REVERSE) to the protocol. 2. Updated the clinical and nonclinical safety profile of GS010. 3. The objectives, endpoints, and statistical analyses were revised to harmonize with Protocol GS-LHON-CLIN-03A. a. The primary endpoint was to be the ETDRS score at 48 weeks compared to Baseline. b. Secondary acuity endpoints in both studies were to include ETDRS at 96 weeks compared to Baseline, binary response to treatment at 48 and 96 weeks, and the comparison of the strategy of treating better versus worse-seeing eyes. 4. Randomization was revised from the better-seeing eye to the right eye of each participants randomized with the left receiving the alternative. 5. Revised the randomization and unmasking methods from envelopes to an interactive voice recognition system. 6. Respiratory rate was removed from the measured vital signs. 7. Applanation tonometry was further specified as Goldmann applanation tonometry. 8. The color vision test was changed from the 15-Hue color test to the Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Color Test. 9. Added a section for Study Duration with a definition of EOS as last participants last visit. 10. The data collected by the SD-OCT assessment were simplified. 11. More specific time frames were assigned to some secondary endpoints. 12. Added color fundus photos at Visit 1 for Baseline and Visits 4 to12 as necessary if the participant had vitreous inflammation. 13. Added all vision-related testing to Visit 1. 14. Specific instructions were added on establishing and maintaining the study masking and procedures for unmasking. 15. The timing of the primary analysis was revised so that the primary efficacy analysis can be performed after all participants complete Week 48. 16. Changed the term “patients” to “subjects” when referring to study participants.
    23 Feb 2016
    In Global Revision 2, the protocol was revised to incorporate the following: 1. Added the ClinicalTrials.gov identifier for the trial. 2. Made refraction for BCVA required at each study follow-up visit regardless of change in visual acuity. 3. Required ND4 genotyping to be performed for all participants in an appropriately certified central study laboratory. 4. Clarified in the Schedule of Events that QoL questionnaires should be administered before visual acuity tests were conducted. 5. Clarified the non-selection criteria with regard to participants with well-controlled glaucoma. 6. Updated the appropriate post-reconstitution storage conditions for the investigational product. 7. Clarified the appropriate site personnel who could randomize participants. 8. Widened eligible participants age range to include paediatric participants aged 15 to 18 years and made corresponding changes to the informed consent process to include paediatric participants.
    07 Nov 2016
    In Global Revision 3, the protocol was revised to incorporate the following: 1. Updated the job title of one of the study Sponsor contacts. 2. Added the performance of FAs to the protocol when the Investigator documented the initial presence of significant vitreous inflammation that also required treatment per the recommendation of the study DSMB. The FAs served to further characterize the observed vitreous inflammation and potentially guide management/treatment of the vitreous inflammation. 3. Clarified how the duration of vision loss should be calculated for the purpose of determining study eligibility. 4. Clarified which study visits should be conducted by the unmasked study team and how AEs should be followed up by the unmasked study team.
