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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    1) Evaluate the safety and tolerability of the following dose-titration regimen of lonafarnib (LNF) in combination with ritonavir (RTV) over a 24-week treatment period: LNF/RTV starting at 50 mg bid/100 mg bid, escalated to LNF/RTV 75 mg bid/100 mg bid, and then to 100 mg bid/100 mg bid as tolerated 2) Evaluate the pharmacodynamic activity (change in HDV viral load) of the dose-titration regimen of LNF in combination with RTV over a 24-week treatment period
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted according to GCP, signed ICF was obtained before each patient’s participation in the study. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (diarrhea, nausea, dyspepsia, vomiting, and decreased appetite) are the most common AEs reported with lonafarnib single-agent therapy. Ritonavir may be associated with diarrhea. Occurrence of diarrhea may reduce the absorption of lonafarnib, ritonavir, and other medications from the GI tract. Diarrhea may result in loss of fluids and dehydration, which can be severe, and require hospitalization for supportive care. Patients were requested to receive therapy (antacids, anti-emetics, or anti-diarrheals) for GI symptoms at the earliest signs in order to avoid possible severe complications and prevent and distress associated with these symptoms. Electrolytes were requested to be monitored in cases of diarrhea and volume depletion to prevent further complications which could arise due to electrolyte loss.
    Background therapy
    1) As the Hepatitis Delta patients are also infected with Hepatitis B virus, antivirals for HBV management such as Viread was allowed. 2) Ondansetron was used as a concomitant medication, on need basis, to prevent nausea and vomiting to an does not inhibit or induce enzymes in the CYP system. No interaction is expected with concomitant administration with lonafarnib, therefore it was a safe concomitant medication recommended for use in this trial. 3) Famotidine is a histamine H₂ receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production was allowed to be used as a concomitant medication to prevent symptoms related to stomach acidity and Famotidine not been associated with any clinically significant drug-drug interactions. No significant interference with CYP system has been identified; thus, no interaction is expected with concomitant administration with lonafarnib, therefore it was a safe concomitant medication recommended for use in this trial 4) Omeprazole inhibits CYP2C19 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and is completely metabolized, specifically by CYP3A4 and CYP2C19. This medication is another alternative for the reatment of gastrointestinal symptoms. Dose adjustments are typically not required when administering omeprazole with other medications metabolized by CYP2C19; however, dose adjustments are required for omeprazole when administered to patients with hepatic impairment (refer to the Prilosec Product Label for additional information). Therefore the use of this medication was only allowed for some patients who fitted the product label requirement. 4)

    Treatment: 50 mg/100 mg
    Reporting group description
    Integral to this study was the titration of the LNF dose from the starting dose of 50 mg bid, up to 75 mg bid, and then to 100 mg bid, if tolerated. LNF/RTV dosing started on Day 1 (baseline, Week 0) at 50 mg bid/100 mg bid. On or after Day 29, if the LNF/RTV dosage of 50 mg bid/100 mg bid had been tolerated for at least 4 weeks and with approval of the investigator, the LNF/RTV dosage could have been escalated to 75 mg bid/100 mg bid. On or after Day 43, if the LNF/RTV dosage of 75 mg bid/100 mg bid had been tolerated for at least 2 weeks and with approval of the investigator, the LNF/RTV dosage could have been escalated to 100 mg bid/100 mg bid

    Date
    Amendment

    As the amendment description is longer than the characters allowed, it is included in the index as a seperate summary attachment
    03 Nov 2015
    - Change in Sponsor Medical monitor - Change in clinical program manager - Addition of inclusion criterion for ALT Inclusion criterion # 7 - Change to exclusion criterion # 8e: From "Prothrombin time >2 seconds" to "Prothrombin time >12 seconds" - Change to exclusion criterion # 19 to include: pegylated interferon alfa-2b - Change to ALT value in management of flares from "ALT of ≥5 × the ULN" to "ALT of ≥10 × the ULN" - Change to description of COBAS test to change wording " The assay can quantitate HBV DNA levels with an upper limit of detection" to say "The assay can quantitate HBV DNA levels with an upper limit of quantification" - Change in SAE reporting information

    1. Removing prothrombin time (PT): Results for prothrombin time (PT) will vary depending on the method used, with results measured in seconds and compared to the normal range established and maintained by the laboratory that performs the test. This normal range represents an average value of healthy people who live in that area and will vary somewhat from lab to lab. The International Normalized Ratio (INR), provides a consistent way of expressing the prothrombin test results, which had previously suffered from a large degree of variation between centers using different reagents. Therefore, to allow for consistency of results and comparison with other studies, INR will be the test result used for inclusion/exclusion of subjects into the study 2. Changes in thyroid test: Most patients with chronic HDVinfection may have received previous therapy with interferon alfa or peg-interferon alfa. Some patients may have developed hypothyroidism due to interferon therapy and are currently receiving thyroid hormone replacement therapy (THRT). All studies that investigate therapies for chronic HDV allow for inclusion of such patients as long as they are stable on THRT. As it is unnecessary to exclude patients who are stable on THRT, the restriction was removed from the exclusion criteria. 3. Removing the upper limit of BMI: The main concern related to patients with high BMI is the presence of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in patients with chronic hepatitis Delta. Since liver biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of NAFLD and the eligible patients will have a liver biopsy, the BMI limit is not. 4. Protocol time points are expressed in weeks and not in months 5. The following wording added at follow up: Alpha-interferon treatments will be allowed during the 20 weeks of the FU period (that is, starting 4 weeks after last dose of study treatment) "if considered by the investigatorbe required for patient safety"
