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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 demonstrate that fenfluramine hydrochloride was superior to placebo for the treatment of Dravet syndrome in children and young adults stabilized on a STP regimen based on the change in convulsive seizure frequency (CSF) from Baseline to the combined Titration and Maintenance Periods (T+M period)
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study procedures set out in the protocol were designed to ensure that the Sponsor and the Investigators abided by the principles of the current International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guideline on the conduct, evaluation and documentation of this study, as described in ICH Topic E6 Guideline. The study was also carried out according to all applicable international and national regulatory requirements. The Sponsor ensured that all ethical and legal requirements were met before the first subject was enrolled into the study. The Investigator was responsible for obtaining a subject’s informed consent to participate in the study. A Subject Information Sheet and study master ICFs, including a subject ICF (for adult subjects), subject assent form (for subjects under the age of consent), and an ICF for the parent/caregiver, were prepared by the Sponsor according to the provisions of ICH GCP and local legal requirements. For pediatric subjects (<18 years of age), or young adult subjects (18 years of age) unable to provide consent due to intellectual disability, the written informed consent of a legally acceptable representative was required. Pediatric and young adult subjects who could understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study must also have given their assent, orally and/or in writing via the assent document, as appropriate.

    Upon completion of the 6-week Baseline Period, subjects received fenfluramine hydrochloride (at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day; maximum dose of 20 mg/day). All subjects were titrated to their randomized dose during the Titration Period. The duration of the titration period was 21 days. Following titration, subjects continued treatment at their assigned dose of fenfluramine 0.5 mg/kg/day over a 12-week Maintenance Period. The total treatment time from the beginning of the Titration Period through the end of the maintenance period was a maximum of 15 weeks.
