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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Subjects from general population in Neuss and Mainz were recruited for the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Subjects who gave the written informed consent were screened for the study. For subjects on any anti-diabetic medications, treatment with all anti-diabetic medications except metformin was washed out. The subjects returned for a baseline visit at the end of the washout period (1-4 weeks).

    Blinding implementation details
    Randomization and blinding was used in order to avoid bias introduced through an association between allocation order of IMP and subject characteristics. Subjects were also stratified based on their background anti-diabetic therapy – on metformin vs. metformin + further anti-diabetic agent.

    Arm description
    		 Each subject was randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms. Treatment arm 1 was tesofensine 0.5 mg + metoprolol 100 mg administered once a day, in the morning with a meal (the first 2 days a loading dose of 1.0 mg/d of tesofensine was given) and treatment arm 2 was placebo tablets matching oral tesofensine + metoprolol administered once a day, in the morning with meal (the first 2 days a loading dose of 1.0 mg/d of placebo tesofensine was given).

    		 24-hour heart rate
    End point description
    In the FAS, the primary endpoint, mean 24-hour heart rate, was reduced on average by 4.3 beats/minute in subjects treated with tesofensine/metoprolol compared to an average decline of 0.2 beats/minute in subjects dosed with placebo. The reduction was statistically significant for treatment with tesofensine/metoprolol compared with placebo (LSM difference -3.8 beats/minute, 95% CI (-6.36; -1.29), p=0.004). The result was confirmed by the analysis based on the PPP (LSM difference -4.1 beats/minute, 95% CI (-6.66; -1.54), p=0.002).

    Statistical analysis description
    Efficacy endpoints (primary, secondary and exploratory endpoints apart from PHQ scores) were analysed with a parametric model, i.e. compared between treatment arms by means of an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model (proc MIXED) using change from baseline to the end of treatment as dependent variable, treatment and study site as fixed effects and the value from baseline as covariate. The residual errors were assumed independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) and normally distributed.

    Notes
    [1] - Efficacy endpoints were checked for normal distribution via a Shapiro-Wilk test. In case of normally distributed parameter, an additional analysis was performed without study site as fixed effect, if this effect was not significant (24-hour heart rate, waist circumference).
    [2] - Within the model least square mean (LS-mean) for each treatment as well as the difference of the means between the treatment arms, the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and p-values were calculated.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    09 Mar 2016
    Two amendments to the study documentation were generated. Amendment 1 was generated because of the conditional approval of the clinical study by the Competent Authority, German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices, [Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte (BfArM)] and entailed a change of the study protocol (final version 4.0, dated 09 Mar 2016, Appendix 16.1.1), the IB, the SI/IC Form and the subject diary. This amendment was substantial for the IEC. On 29 Mar 2016, the leading IEC approved amendment 1 and the corresponding study documents prior to study start.
    29 Mar 2016
    T Amendment 2 concerned minor corrections of the study protocol and was non-substantial for the IEC. Non-substantial amendments did not require a favourable opinion by the IEC and the respective IEC was not to be notified according to local requirements.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
