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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate and compare the single-dose pharmacokinetic of N8-GP (turoctocog alfa pegol) from the pivotal process with N8-GP from the commercial process, each given as intravenous administrations of 50 U/kg to patients with severe haemophilia A.
    Protection of trial subjects

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The trial was conducted at 11 sites in 6 countries, as follows: Denmark: 1 site; France: 1 site; Germany: 1 site; Netherlands: 1 site; Spain: 2 sites; United States: 5 sites.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Study Design: Subjects were recruited from trial NN7088-3859 (EudraCT number: 2011-001142-15) and returned to trial NN7088-3859 upon completion of this trial. This cross over trial included two identical pharmacokinetic (PK) visits (each consisting of 5 days) with a wash-out period of at least 7 days prior to each PK visit.

    Blinding implementation details
    N8-GP was packed blinded and allocated via the interactive web response system (IWRS) to ensure the blinding of the trial product. The N8-GP from the pivotal manufacturing process and N8-GP from the commercial manufacturing process were visually identical.

    Arm description
    This was a two period cross-over study. All subjects were randomised in a 1:1 manner to receive one of the two possible treatment sequences of trial products, turoctocog alfa pegol (N8-GP) from the commercial process and N8-GP from the pivotal process. Subjects, who received N8-GP from the commercial process in treatment period 1, received N8-GP from the pivotal process in treatment period 2. And subjects, who received N8-GP from the pivotal process in treatment period 1, received N8-GP from the commercial process in treatment period 2. There was a wash-out period of at least 7 days prior to dosing in both the periods.

N8-GP was supplied as a sterile, freeze-dried powder in a 2–8°C (36–46°F) stable formulation single use vial with a nominal content of 2000 IU/vial was reconstituted with 4.3 mL 0.9% isotonic sodium chloride solution for intravenous (i.v.) injection. After reconstitution each vial contained 500 IU/mL N8-GP.

    Adverse events information [1]
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All AEs reported after exposed to N8-GP were defined as TEAEs. Since all patients were transferred from trial NN7088-3859, all AEs reported in this trial were considered as treatment emergent even if the AE occurred prior to the first dosing in this trial
    Adverse event reporting additional description

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: No non-serious adverse events with a prevalence of 5% are available for this trial. In total, 2 subjects in the turoctocog alfa pegol pivotal process arm had non-serious adverse events and no subject in the turoctocog alfa pegol commercial process arm had non-serious adverse events. Additionally 3 AEs were reported outside the PK visits

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    04 Nov 2016
    Changes were done in exclusion criteria. A criterion on hypersensitivity was added. The wording of the criterion is identical to the exclusion criterion in trial NN7088-3859’s protocol from where all patients were recruited.
    23 Mar 2017
    This protocol amendment was prepared to clarify the assays used for assessment of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) activity in trial NN7088-4033 in order to align with updates in the assay strategy for all pathfinder™ trials.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
