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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of triptorelin pamoate (embonate) 22.5 mg 6-month formulation IM in achieving LH suppression to prepubertal levels (defined as serum LH ≤ 5 IU/L 30 minutes after SC GnRH agonist stimulation [leuprolide acetate 20 μg/kg SC]) at Month 6 (Day 169) in children with CPP.
    Protection of trial subjects
    After being fully informed about the trial, ethics-approved parental informed consent was signed in conformation with the Declaration of Helsinki and local laws was obtained from one or both parents (as per local requirements), by the liable parent or by the legal guardian prior to any study procedures. Assent was also collected from children aged 7 or more years. Participants were allowed to be withdrawn voluntarily or if the investigator determined the child's safety or well-being was at risk.

    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: Statistical analysis was conducted; two sided 95% confidence interval is provided in the data table. Database constraints require only comparative groups to populate the statistical analysis module. Therefore, because this was a single arm study, the database can only state "no statistical analyses for this end point" which, while inaccurate, may appear in the record.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Nov 2011
    The amendment was required to improve some practical and pharmacovigilance-related aspects of the study. 1. Further to a shortage of leuprolide acetate on the US market, the suppliers initially identified were removed from the protocol and study centers were able to purchase any commercial leuprolide acetate. In addition, the number of alcohol pads in the injection kit was no longer specified to accommodate different suppliers. 2. The total volume of the vial of water for injection was no longer specified to accommodate different suppliers. 3. The CT scan or MRI of the brain initially to be performed at screening could be replaced by a brain CT or MRI performed within three months of the first IMP injection. 4. Reporting of SAEs to the Sponsor was corrected to comply with the Sponsor's pharmacovigilance procedure (contact person). 5. Reporting of SAEs in case of premature discontinuation was included to accomodate the triptorelin 6-month sustained-release formulation (reporting period of 7 months [6 months + 30 days] after the last triptorelin administration).
    25 Jan 2012
    The amendment was required because the blood volume necessary for measurement of hormone levels post-leuprolide stimulation had increased from 1 mL to 2 mL. In addition, inclusion criterion No. 7 was modified to allow parental signature of informed consent as per local requirements. 1. Two mL of blood instead of 1 mL were required post-leuprolide stimulation because of the minimal blood volume requirement of the analytical device. Despite this increase, the volume sampled per child remained within the limits recommended by the European ethical guidelines (Directive 2001/20/EC related to GCP) and were in accordance with ICH guidelines for clinical studies in a pediatric population. 2. Inclusion criterion No. 7 was modified (bold characters) to read: "Informed consent signed by one parent or both parents (as per local requirements), by the liable parent or by the legal guardian (when applicable); assent signed by the child if ≥ 7 years".
