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   43861   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate therapeutic response to arimoclomol versus placebo, both in addition best available standard of care, at 12 months.
    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 and 24 months and hereafter annually until study end;
    •To evaluate the safety of arimoclomol.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    In order to be eligible for inclusion into this study, each patient must fulfil all of the following inclusion criteria at enrolment of the study.
    •EITHER
    NPC patients who have entered the CT ORZY NPC 001 study when aged from 2 years to 18 years and 11 months; and who have completed Visit 2 (EOS) of the CT ORZY NPC 001 study.
    OR
    NPC patients who did not enter or complete the CT ORZY NPC 001 study but are fulfilling all of criteria listed below:
    oDiagnosis of NPC1 or NPC2;
    oNPC diagnosis confirmed by:
    -Genetically confirmed (deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] sequence analysis) by mutations in both alleles of NPC1 or NPC2,
    OR
    -Mutation in only one allele of NPC1 or NPC2 plus either positive filipin staining or elevated cholestane triol/oxysterols (>2 x upper limit of normal).
    oMales and females aged from 2 years to 18 years and 11 months;
    oTreated or not treated with miglustat;
    oIf a patient is under prescribed treatment with miglustat, it has to be under stable dose of the medication for at least 6 continuous months prior to inclusion in the CT ORZY NPC 002 study;
    oIf a patient has been discontinued from prescribed treatment with miglustat, they must have been discontinued for at least 3 continuous months prior to inclusion in the CT-ORZY-NPC-002 study;
    oBody mass index (BMI) Z score ≥ -2 SD (standard deviation) for age, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) standards;
    oPresenting at least one neurological symptom of the disease (for example, but not limited to, hearing loss, vertical supranuclear gaze palsy, ataxia, dementia, dystonia, seizures, dysarthria, or dysphagia);
    oAbility to walk either independently or with assistance.
    •Written informed consent (and assent if appropriate to local laws and regulations) prior to any study-related procedures;
    •Willing to participate in all aspects of trial design including blood sampling (PK, blood biomarkers and safety labs), skin biopsies and imaging (ultrasonography of the liver and spleen);
    •Ability to travel to the corresponding clinical trial site at the scheduled visit times for evaluation and follow-up;
    •All sexually active female patients of child-bearing potential (post-menarchal) must use highly effective contraception during the study and until 1 week after the last dose of IMP.
    Highly effective birth control methods include: Combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal or transdermal); progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable or implantable); intrauterine device (IUD); intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS); bilateral tubal occlusion; and vasectomised partner.

    All sexually active male patients with female partners of child-bearing potential (post-menarchal) must use a condom with or without spermicide in addition to the birth control used by their partners during the study and until 3 months after the last dose of IMP.
    Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective birth control method only if it is defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the study and for 1 week after the last dose of IMP (for female patients of child-bearing potential) and for 3 months after the last dose of IMP (for male patients with female partners of child-bearing potential). The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated by the Investigator in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.
    •Ability to comply with the protocol-specified procedures/evaluations and scheduled visits.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Each of the following criteria will be taken as reason for exclusion from participation in the trial:
    •Recipient of a liver transplant or planned liver transplantation;
    •Severe liver insufficiency (defined as hepatic laboratory parameters, AST and/or ALT greater than three-times the upper limit of normal for age and gender (central laboratory assessment);
    •Renal insufficiency, with serum creatinine level greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (central laboratory assessment);
    •Known or suspected allergy or intolerance to the IMP (arimoclomol or constituents);
    •In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient's clinical condition does not allow for the required blood collection and/or skin biopsies as per the protocol-specified procedures;
    •Treatment with any investigational drug during the study or in the 4 weeks prior to entering the study.
    This includes treatment with any investigational drug during the study in an attempt to treat NP-C;
    •Pregnancy or breastfeeding;
    •Current participation in another trial is not permitted unless it is a non-interventional study and the sole purpose of the trial is for long-term follow up/survival data (registry);
    •For patients who have not completed the CT ORZY NPC 001 study, fulfilling any of the criteria listed below:
    oPatients with uncontrolled severe epileptic seizures period (at least 3 consecutive severe epileptic seizures that required medication) within 2 months prior to the written consent. This includes patients with ongoing seizures that are not stable in frequency or type or duration over a 2 month period prior to enrolment, requiring change in dose of antiepileptic medication (other than adjustment for weight) over a 2 month period prior to enrolment, or requiring 3 or more antiepileptic medications to control seizures;
    oNeurologically asymptomatic patients;
    oSevere manifestations of NP-C disease that would interfere with the patient’s ability to comply with the requirements of this protocol;
    oTreatment with any IMP within 4 weeks prior to the study enrolment.
