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   43854   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    •To evaluate the therapeutic response to arimoclomol through clinical, biological and imaging assessments at 6 and 12 months;
    •To evaluate the long term therapeutic response (clinical and biological assessments) at 18 months and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months and hereafter annually until study end;

    Primary:
    • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of arimoclomol in patients aged
    6 to <24 months at study enrolment.
    Secondary:
    • To evaluate the therapeutic response to arimoclomol in patients aged
    6 to <24 months at study enrolment through clinical, biological and
    imaging assessments.
    • To assess the PK [AUC0-8,SS] of arimoclomol, and if relevant also of

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    MAIN STUDY:
    •Change in the NPC disease severity based on the 5 domain NPCCSS
    scores (ambulation, speech, swallow, fine motor skills and cognition)
    from baseline (Visit 1) to 12 months;
    PAEDIATRIC SUB-STUDY:

    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Visit 6 (12 months)
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Key Secondary Endpoints:
    • Responder analysis of patient's CGI-I score remains stable or shows

    will be determined and documented prior to unblinding the study;
    • Proportion of patients worsening (as defined by reaching the MCID on
    patient's 5 domain NPCCSS) at 6 and 12 months
    • Change in full scale NPCCSS score apart from hearing domains (i.e.
    Hearing and Auditory Brainstem Response) at 12 months.

    • Proportion of patients worsening (as defined by reaching the MCID on patient's 5 domain NPCCSS) at 18 months and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months;
    • Changes in each individual domain of the NPCCSS at 6, 12 and 18 months and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months;
    • Change in the Niemann Pick type C Clinical Database (NPC-cdb) score (modified "Stampfer Score" [Stampfer et al., 2013]) at 6, 12 and 18 months and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months;
    • Change in Quality of Life (EQ-5D-Y) at 6, 12 and 18 months and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months;
    • Change in the SARA score at 6, 12 and 18 months and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months;
    • Change in the 9HPT time at 6, 12 and 18 months, and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months;
    • CGI-S score at 6, 12 and 18 months and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months;
    • CGI-I score at 6, 12 and 18 months and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months.

    PAEDIATRIC SUBSTUDY:
    • Clinical signs and symptoms captured through physical examination;
    • Change from baseline in patient weight and height;
    • Change in Bayley III score: Developmental delay scoring.

    Timepoints will be at 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and every 6 months thereafter until End of Extension Phase at 60 months.

    Following this study, all patients will be offered to continue into the extension phase of the study where every patient will receive arimoclomol and be followed up on an annual basis. The extension phase runs until arimoclomol has received European Union (EU) marketing authorisation (MA) or until the analysis of data from the controlled, blinded phase 12 month study period does not support the efficacy and/or safety of arimoclomol.
