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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Study Part A: The primary study objective was to select the dose of VTS-270 to be used in Study Part B and Part C. Dose selection criteria included safety and tolerability including a thorough audiologic evaluation. Preliminary efficacy data was provided to the Dose Selection Committee (DSC) to assist, if necessary, in dose selection.

    Study Part B: The primary study objective was to evaluate, in a double-blind sham-controlled design, the progression of the neurologic manifestations of NPC1 disease following 52 weeks of treatment for subjects treated with VTS-270 compared to sham control, using the following assessments:
    •The Neimann Pick Type C Severity Scale (NPC-SS) composite which consists of the sum of 4 components of the NPC-SS: ambulation, fine motor, cognition, and swallowing.
    •The blinded Clinician-Clinical-Global Impression of Change (CGIC)

    Study Part C: The primary study objective is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VTS 270.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Study Part A: There were no secondary objectives.

    Study Part B: The secondary objectives were divided into 2 categories: Key Secondary Objectives and Other Secondary Objectives.
    The key secondary objective for Study Part B was to evaluate the progression of the neurologic manifestations of NPC1 disease using the total NPC-SS score, excluding the hearing domain and auditory brainstem response (ABR) modifier results, following 52 weeks of treatment for subjects treated with VTS-270 compared to sham controls and the Caregiver CGIC.

    Study Part C:
    The secondary study objectives are to:
    1. Assess the safety and tolerability of the B. Braun Celsite Spinal Access Port utilized to administer VTS-270 (device safety and tolerability substudy).
    2. Assess the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) PK of VTS-270 concentrations in subjects receiving the 900 mg dose of VTS-270 via the B. Braun Celsite Spinal Access Port (device PK substudy).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives

    Objectives for substudy (1):
    Assess the safety and tolerability of the B. Braun Celsite Spinal Access Port utilized to administer VTS-270 in approximately 6 subjects who are currently enrolled in VTS301 Part C.

    Objectives for substudy (2):
    Assess the plasma and CSF PK of VTS-270 and trough HP-β-CD concentration in subjects receiving the 900 mg dose of VTS-270 via the B. Braun Celsite Spinal Access Port.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Study Parts A and B – not applicable as Part A and B are completed.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Study Part A/B is complete.
    Study Part C: as of 20 January 2021 no efficacy analyses will be performed.
    - The change from baseline to each assessment in a composite outcome that is the sum of the ambulation, cognition, fine motor, and swallowing components of the NPC-SS.
    - The change from baseline to each assessment in total NPC-SS with the hearing domain and auditory brainstem response (ABR) modifiers removed.
    - Proportion of responders (defined as no change or improvement on NPC-SS total score with hearing domain and ABR modifiers removed) at each assessment.
    - Proportion of Blinded Clinician-Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) (defined as a score of no change, minimally improved, moderately improved, or markedly improved) at each assessment compared to baseline.
    - Summary of AEs, concomitant medications, physical examinations, audiologic examination, and clinical laboratories.
    - Change from baseline in the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire at each assessment.
