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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of this trial was to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of different doses of BI 425809 compared with Placebo in patients with cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all patients as required. For two subjects in the Adults (18-64 years) it does not reflect their true age. Their actual age is unknown. Subjects counted for Afghanistan does not reflect their true country. Their actual country is unknown.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 This is a multi-centre, double-blind, parallel-group, randomised controlled study to investigate efficacy and safety of orally administered BI 425809 during a 12-week treatment period compared to placebo in patients with cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s Disease.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they strictly met all eligibility criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the criteria were violated. One subject was randomized by error via Interactive Response Technology but never took a drug.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: One subject was screened/randomized by error via Interactive Response Technology (IRT) but never took a drug.

    		 Change from baseline in ADAS-Cog11 (Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive subscale 11 item) total score after 12 weeks of treatment
    End point description
    ADAS-Cog11 is a 11-item cognitive subscale that objectively measures memory, language, orientation and praxis with a total score range of 0 to 70, with lower scores indicating less severe impairment. Negative change is an improvement from BL. MCPmod + MMRM combination is used for primary analysis. MMRM included fixed, categorical covariates of treatment, visit, BL Mini Mental State Examination (>=20, <20) and treatment-by-visit interaction, as well as the continuous fixed covariates of BL and BL-by-visit interaction. Patient was considered as random effect. The unstructured covariance structure was used to model the within patient measurements. The same MMRM model used in the primary analysis is used for the secondary analysis. Full analysis set (FAS): all randomised patients who were treated with at least one dose of trial medication, had a BL and at least one corresponding post-BL on-treatment efficacy assessment for any efficacy EP. FAS is used for efficacy analysis.

    		 Change from baseline in the ADCS-ADL (Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study/Activities of Daily Living) score after 12 weeks of treatment
    End point description
    Change from baseline in the ADCS-ADL (Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study/Activities of Daily Living) score after 12 weeks of treatment is presented. The ADCS-ADL is a rating scale used to assess basic and instrumental activities of daily living. In the full version of the scale, 23 items are rated by the investigator using information supplied by the caregiver. The sum score could range from 0 to 78, with higher scores indicating less severe impairment. A positive change indicates an improvement from baseline. Full analysis set (FAS): all randomised patients who were treated with at least one dose of trial medication and had a baseline and at least one corresponding post-baseline on-treatment efficacy assessment for any efficacy endpoint. FAS was used for efficacy analyses.

    End point description
    Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change (CIBIC+) score after 12 weeks of treatment is presented. Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change (CIBIC+) and Clinical Interview-Based Impression of Severity (CIBIS) scales are based on semi-structured interview covering domains of function and cognition. They additionally require the assessment of psychiatric signs and symptoms. The patient and their caregiver are interviewed and questioned by the clinician. Change rate is based on an unanchored 7-point scale (scores 1, 2 and 3 = improvement, 4 = no change, 5, 6 and 7 = deterioration). Full analysis set (FAS): all randomised patients who were treated with at least one dose of trial medication and had a baseline and at least one corresponding post-baseline on-treatment efficacy assessment for any efficacy endpoint. FAS was used for efficacy analyses.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Dec 2017
    The amendment introduced a new concept to detect efficacy signals in executive function and memory of the heterogeneous AD patient population in this trial. This included the deletion of the CDR from the main inclusion criteria, a change from ADAS-Cog13 to ADAS-Cog11 as primary endpoint, the deletion of CDR-SB (Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes) from the secondary endpoints, and the addition CIBIC+ as secondary endpoints and further cognitive tests (COWAT, VFT; Coding and Digit span). Lower Hb levels were allowed per inclusion criteria. The possibility to introduce Vitamin B12 and folate treatments was introduced if values were found below lower limit of normal at Visit 1. The Amendment added Visit 0 to allow comfortable time window for imaging, review of inclusion and exclusion criteria, and concomitant medications.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Following the identification of a new major metabolite, BI 761036, BI communicated a voluntary hold of the Phase II to relevant competent authorities on 16 Sep 2016, which was formalised as full clinical hold by FDA on 26 Oct 2016. The clinical hold was removed by FDA on 21 Nov 2017 and the trial was re-initiated.
