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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of ESN364 on the severity and frequency of hot flashes (HF) in early postmenopausal women suffering from HF, in terms of changes in weekly Hot Flash Score (HFS) from baseline to Week 12.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Note for Guidance on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) (CPMP/ICH/135/95) and with applicable local requirements.

    		 Change from baseline to Week 12 in weekly Hot Flash Score (HFS).
    End point description
    The HFS was based on the hot flash severity and frequency which were assessed at a minimum twice a day. The HFS was calculated as the (number of mild HF/day × 1) + (number of moderate HF/day × 2) + (number of severe HF/day × 3). Higher scores indicated worse symptoms. The analysis population was Intent-to-treat (ITT) and it consisted of all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of the study medication and subjects who have had post-baseline efficacy data.

    		 Change from baseline over time in weekly HF severity score (Method 1).
    End point description
    Method 1 takes into account the number and severity of moderate and severe HF occurred during a given time period. The Hot Flash Severity score (based on severity and frequency) was calculated as follows: HF Severity score = [(number of moderate hot flashes/day × 2) + (number of severe hot flashes/day × 3)]/(#moderate HF + #severe HF) The weekly hot flash severity was calculated: Mean HF Severity day-score over 1 week Higher scores indicate worse symptoms. For weekly HF severity score calculated by method 1 the maximum was 3 (the maximum is attained when all HF are severe). The analysis population was Intent-to-treat (ITT).

    Method 2 (as recommended by FDA) takes into account moderate and severe HF during a given time period. The Hot Flash Severity (based on severity and frequency) was calculated as follows: HF Severity day-score = [(number of moderate hot flashes/day × 2) + (number of severe hot flashes/day × 3)] The weekly hot flash severity was calculated: Mean HF Severity day-score over 1 week Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.

    End point description
    The HFRDIS was completed at the clinical site in the ePRO diary, at any time during the visit. The HFRDIS is a 10-item scale which measures a woman’s perceptions of the degree to which hot flashes interfere with 9 daily life activities (work, social activities, leisure, sleep, mood, concentration, relations with others, sexuality, enjoying life); the 10th item measures interference with overall quality of life. This scale was modeled after items on the Brief Pain Inventory and Brief Fatigue Inventory, both of which assess the extent to which pain or fatigue interfere with daily life. Subjects were asked to rate the extent to which hot flashes have interfered with each item during the previous 4-week time interval using a 0 (do not interfere) to 10 (completely interfere) scale. The overall mean score is presented. The analysis population was Intent-to-treat (ITT).

    End point description
    The subjects’ sleep quality was evaluated every 4 weeks from the start of study drug intake (Visit 2) through the follow-up visit (Visit 6) using the LSEQ. The LSEQ is a visual analogue scale which requires respondents to place marks on a group of 10-cm lines representing the changes they have experienced in a variety of symptoms since the beginning of treatment. The LSEQ is a visual analogue scale which requires respondents to place marks on a group of 10-cm lines representing the changes they have experienced in a variety of symptoms since the beginning of treatment.Lines extend between extremes like “more difficult than usual” and “easier than usual”. Responses were measured using a 100-mm scale and are averaged to provide a score for each domain. The analysis population was Intent-to-treat (ITT).

    		 Changes from baseline over time in Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS).
    End point description
    Changes in climacteric symptoms was evaluated every 4 weeks from the start of study drug intake (Visit 2) through the follow-up visit (Visit 6) using the GCS. The questionnaire was paper-based, administered at the clinical site at any time during the visit. The GCS is a 21-item scale which provides a brief but comprehensive and valid measure of climacteric symptomatology. Each item was rated by the subject according to its severity using a four-point rating scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). The first 20 items of the scale combine into three main independent symptom measures: psychological symptoms (items 1 to 11; score 0 to 33), physical symptoms (items 12 to 18; score 0 to 21), and vasomotor symptoms (items 19 to 20; score 0 to 6), by summing up the individual item scores. Item 21 was a probe for sexual dysfunction. The total score range was 0 to 63. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms. The analysis population was Intent-to-treat (ITT).

    End point description
    The subjects’ functional impairment of life was evaluated every 4 weeks from the start of study drug intake (Visit 2) through the follow-up visit (Visit 6) using the SDS. The questionnaire will be paper-based, administered at the clinical site at any time during the visit. The SDS is a composite of 3 self-rated items designed to measure the extent to which 3 major sectors in a patient’s life are impaired by panic, anxiety, phobic, or depressive symptoms. The patient rates the extent to which his/her 1- work/school, 2- social life, and 3- family life are impaired by his/her symptoms on a 10-point visual analog scale. The 3 items may be summed into a single dimensional measure of global functional impairment that ranges from 0 (unimpaired) to 30 (highly impaired). The analysis population was Intent-to-treat (ITT).
