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 ).

    Annualized bleeding rates (ABRs) in subjects receiving prophylaxis treatment with BeneFIX during their prophylaxis period
    End point description
    For prophylaxis treatment period, annualized bleeding rate (ABR) was derived for each subject by the following formula: ABR = number of bleeds in prophylaxis period / (number of days in prophylaxis period/365.25). In this formula, number of days in prophylaxis period was the sum of time from all prophylaxis treatment periods for the subject. The number of bleeds for the ABR calculation included all bleeds during all the prophylaxis periods. Time on a single treatment period was defined as first day of the treatment period through the day before the start of the next treatment period. For a prophylaxis regimen to be qualified to have ABR calculated, the sum of its periods needs to be equal to or more than 14 days. All subjects who participated in at least one day of a prophylaxis period (ie, had at least one prophylaxis dose) were included.

    End point description
    The number of spontaneous, non-traumatic breakthrough bleeds within 48 hours following a prophylaxis dose of BeneFIX was summarized. The prophylaxis infusion time, bleed start time and bleed type (etiology) were used to determine the number of spontaneous, non-traumatic breakthrough bleeds that occurred <=48 hours after a prophylaxis infusion. If there was more than 1 bleed location (eg, ankle and joint) with identical bleed start date and time, it was treated as 1 bleed occurrence. All subjects who participated in at least one day of a prophylaxis period (ie, had at least one prophylaxis dose) were included. A total of 2032 prophylaxis infusions were administered during the study. In the prophylaxis analysis set, 23 breakthrough bleeds occurred in 11 subjects.

    Annualized bleeding rates (ABRs) in subjects receiving on-demand treatment with BeneFIX during their on-demand period
    End point description
    For on-demand treatment period, the annualized bleeding rate (ABR) was derived for each subject by the following formula: ABR = number of bleeds in on-demand period / (number of days in on-demand period/365.25). In this formula, number of days in on-demand period was the sum of time from all on-demand treatment periods for the subject. The number of bleeds for the ABR calculation included all bleeds during all the on-demand periods. Time on a single treatment period was defined as first day of the treatment period through the day before the start of the next treatment period. For an on-demand regimen to be qualified to have ABR calculated, the sum of its periods needs to be equal to or more than 14 days. All subjects who participated in at least one day of on-demand period were included in this analysis. Number of subjects analyzed represents the number of subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint.

    Response was assessed using 4-point On-Demand Hemostasis Efficacy Rating Scale, based on a) definite pain relief and b) improvement in signs of bleeding. Excellent: a) and/or b) within 8 hours after an infusion, with no additional infusion administered; good: a) and/or b) within 8 hours after an infusion, with at least 1 additional infusion administered for complete resolution of bleeding, or a) and/or b) after 8 hours following an infusion, with no additional infusion administered; moderate: probable or slight improvement after 8 hours following an infusion, with at least 1 additional infusion administered for complete resolution of bleeding; no response: no improvement between infusions or during the 24 hour interval following an infusion, or condition worsens. Number of subjects analyzed represents the number of subjects who received at least one on-demand infusion of BeneFIX during the study. A total of 520 on-demand infusions were given during the study.

    Less than expected therapeutic effect (LETE) in the on-demand setting was defined as 2 successive “no response” ratings recorded after 2 successive BeneFIX drug infusions, respectively. LETE in the prophylaxis setting was defined as occurrence of any spontaneous bleed within 48 hours after a regularly scheduled prophylactic dose of BeneFIX (which was not used to treat a bleed). LETE could also be lower than expected recovery of FIX in the opinion of the investigator following infusion of BeneFIX, which didn't occur in this study.
