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   44163   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Gaucher Disease
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Gaucher disease is caused by a defective enzyme. Due to this, fatty substances build up in the cells of the body, especially in liver, spleen and bone marrow.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases [C18]

    E.1.2Term Gaucher's disease type I
    E.1.2System Organ Class 10010331 - Congenital, familial and genetic disorders
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the effect of VPRIV therapy (60 U/kg EOW) in treatment-naïve patients with type 1 Gaucher disease on change from baseline in lumbar spine (LS) bone mineral density (BMD) Z-score as measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) after 24 months of treatment
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the effect of VPRIV therapy (60 U/kg EOW) on bone mineral density (BMD) in treatment-naïve patients with type 1 Gaucher disease as measured by the change from baseline in LS BMD Z-score at 12 months, and bone marrow burden (BMB) as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the LS and femur after 12 and 24 months of treatment
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Each patient must meet the following criteria to be enrolled in this study.
    1. The patient has a documented diagnosis of type 1 Gaucher disease, as documented by deficient GCB activity in leukocytes (whole blood only) or cultured skin fibroblasts.
    Diagnosis by only dry blood spot test is insufficient. Diagnosis may be based on results obtained prior to screening if documented in the patient’s medical history.
    2. Patients must have a LS BMD Z-score < -1 or BMD T-score of < -1 measured by DXA during the screening phase.
    3. Patient is treatment-naïve, ie, has not received ERT or SRT in the 12 months prior to enrollment.
    4. The patient is ≥18 and ≤70 years of age.
    5. Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception at all times during the study. (See Section 6.8.3 for acceptable methods of contraception).
    6. The patient, or patient’s legally authorized representative(s), if applicable, understands the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study and has provided written informed consent that has been approved by the Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC).
    7. The patient must be sufficiently cooperative to participate in this clinical study as judged by the investigator.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from the
    study.
    1. Neurological symptoms indicating that the patient may have type 3
    Gaucher disease.
    2. A significant comorbidity, which, as determined by the investigator,
    might affect study data or confound the study results (eg, malignancies,
    primary biliary cirrhosis, autoimmune liver disease, etc).
    3. Any osteoporosis-specific treatment (eg, bisphosphonates) or
    treatment with erythropoietin (or erythropoietin-like substances) during
    the past year.
    4. Structural, joint-associated bone damage of such extent and severity
    that the investigator deems it could impact participation in the study and
    assessment of relevant study endpoints (eg, pain).
    5. The patient is pregnant or lactating.
    6. The patient has had a splenectomy.
    7. The patient is enrolled in another clinical study that involves clinical
    investigations or use of any investigational product (drug or device)
    within 30 days prior to study enrollment or at any time during the study.
    8. Severe vitamin D deficiency to the level that would be expected to
    result in osteomalacia (vitamin D < 10 ng/mL [25 nmol/L]). If there is
    mild vitamin D insufficiency at screening (vitamin D > 10 and < 30
    ng/mL) treat with 4000 IU vitamin D per day for 1 month and rescreen.
    9. The patient has previously interrupted ERT for safety reasons.
    10. The patient has had hypersensitivity to the active substance or to
    any of the excipients.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Change from baseline to 24 months (Week 103 [end of study]) in LS BMD Z-score as measured by DXA.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Assessments will be performed at the screening visit and Weeks 51 and 103 (end of study).
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The key secondary endpoints of this study are:
    • Change from baseline to 12 months (Week 51) and 24 months (Week
    103 [end of study]) in BMB score (MRI of LS and femur). Assessments
    will be performed at the baseline visit and Weeks 51 and 103 (end of
    study).
    • Change from baseline to 12 months (Week 51) in LS BMD Z-score.
    Assessments will be performed at the screening visit and Weeks 51 and
    103 (end of study).
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Assessments will be performed at the baseline visit and Weeks 51 and 103 (end of study).

    Assessments will be performed at the screening visit and Weeks 51 and
