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
    To determine the long-term safety and tolerability of oral avoralstat in subjects with hereditary angioedema (HAE)
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was conducted in compliance with International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines for conducting, recording, and reporting trials, and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The informed consent form (ICF), protocol and amendments for this trial were submitted to and approved by an appropriate Independent Ethics Committee (IEC). Routine monitoring was performed to verify that rights and well-being of subjects were protected. Emergency equipment and medications were available within the clinical unit as per current standard procedures. Any medication considered necessary for the subject’s safety and well-being was given at the discretion of the Investigator. A signed informed consent form (ICF) was obtained from each subject prior to performing any study-related procedures. The informed consent process took place under conditions where the subject had adequate time to consider the risks and benefits associated with his/her participation in the study. The Investigator explained to potential subjects the aims, methods, reasonably anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the trial and any discomfort it may entail.
    Background therapy
    Subjects used their prescribed standard of care medication to treat any breakthrough HAE attacks on study

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects who completed a previous avoralstat study did not require a Screening Visit if they had interrupted study drug for < 84 days. Avoralstat naïve subjects eligible for the study had a clinical diagnosis of hereditary angioedema (Type I or 2) and were considered a suitable candidate for prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks.

    End point title
    Adverse Events [1]
    End point description
    Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were mapped to a Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) preferred term and system organ class. The occurrence of TEAEs was summarized using MedDRA preferred terms, system organ classes, and severity. In addition to severity, AEs and serious AEs (SAEs) were also summarized based on Investigator or Sponsor assessment of relationship to study drug.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Planned: 72 weeks. Due to the OPuS-2 study failing to meet its primary endpoint, this study was terminated early. All 6 subjects received treatment for 4 weeks; 3 subjects received treatment for 6 weeks and 1 subject received treatment for 8 weeks
    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: Primary endpoint was safety and tolerability; no statistical analysis is considered applicable

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse Events (AEs) reported from informed consent signature until the follow-up visit (2 weeks after last dose IMP) or until the AE is resolved or the subject is in a clinically stable condition with regards to the AE.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Symptoms of HAE were not considered an AE unless they qualify as an SAE.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to the fact that the preceding OPuS-2 study failed to meet its primary endpoint, this study (OPuS-4) was terminated early. Efficacy endpoints and QoL were not analyzed.
