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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7294   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 the efficacy of multiple daily intravenous (IV) doses of ulimorelin on the proportion of the target daily protein received through enteral nutrition by mechanically ventilated and tube-fed patients with enteral feeding intolerance (EFI). It is noted that only the results of the efficacy phase are reported within this dataset.
    Protection of trial subjects
    A single consent form was used for both study phases. To allow a seamless transition from the Observation Phase to the Efficacy Phase, patients screened for the Observation Phase provided informed consent (by proxy if the patient was unable to provide valid informed consent) for both the Observation Phase and Efficacy Phase and transitioned immediately to the Efficacy Phase if enteral feeding intolerance (EFI) develops. Patients who did not participate in the Observation Phase only provided informed consent (by proxy if necessary) for the Efficacy Phase. Patients who participated in the Observation Phase but who did not transition to the Efficacy Phase within 24 hours of completing the Observation Phase were required to provide a new informed consent if they became eligible for and wished to participate in the Efficacy Phase at a later point in time. Whenever possible, patients who participated in either study phase based on proxy consent were re-consented once deemed capable by the Investigator of providing consent on their own.

    Ulimorelin 600 µg/kg was diluted with dextrose in water 5% to a total delivery volume of 50 mL, for IV infusion Q8H for 15 doses (5 days), although higher volumes could be prepared depending on the priming volume of the infusion pump. The infusion should be administered at a rate of 1.67 mL/min for a total of 30 minutes. Dosing was based on the patient’s estimated dry body weight at ICU admission.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Jun 2016
    Amendment 1, protocol version 2, modified the exclusion criteria, removed stratification by site, deleted an interim analysis and added a sensitivity analysis, and made administrative changes. The protocol amendment was made prior to initiation of the study.
    28 Jun 2016
    Amendment 2, protocol version 3, modified and/or clarified study procedures including timing of switch to protocol compliant enteral feeding formula, assessment of 30-day mortality, use and timing of propofol, GRV measurements, timing and analysis of dialysis sample collection, and assessment period for pulmonary infections. The amendment also made other administrative changes.
    23 Nov 2016
    Amendment 3, protocol version 4, added the separate Observation Phase in order to explore factors associated with the progression of at-risk patients to EFI.
    05 Jul 2017
    Amendment 4, protocol version 5, added 2 metabolic exploratory measures to measure changes in 3-O-MG and D3-creatine dilution to assess nutrient absorption and muscle mass. The amendment also provided for a rephrasing of the primary endpoint, a modification of the exclusion for QT interval prolongation, and a provision for following patients with 3-fold or greater transaminase elevations in liver function tests on Day 3 or Day 6.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    For non-serious adverse events only the number of subjects experiencing each event were reported, not number of occurrences. Therefore the number of occurrences is entered as the number of subjects experiencing the event.
