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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1) Prepubertal children with GHD (either isolated or as part of a multiple pituitary hormone deficiency) in Tanner stage 1 aged:
    o Boys: 3-12 years, inclusive
    o Girls: 3-11 years, inclusive
    2) Impaired height (HT) defined as at least 2.0 standard deviations (SD) below the mean height for chronological age and sex (HT SDS ≤-2.0) according to the 2000 CDC Growth Charts for the United States Methods and Development
    3) BMI within ±2.0 SD of the mean BMI for chronological age and sex according to 2000 CDC standards
    4) Diagnosis of GHD confirmed by 2 different GH stimulation tests, defined as a peak GH level of ≤10 ng/mL, determined with a validated assay. One or 2 well documented historical tests (with properly recorded sampling times and results as well as documented euthyroid status of the subject) performed within 6 months prior to Screening can be accepted to replace 1 or both GH stimulation tests. The highest GH level determines eligibility.
    5) Bone age (BA) at least 6 months less than chronological age (X-ray may have been taken within 6 months prior to Screening, the X-ray or digital image should be sent to the central reader).
    6) Baseline IGF-1 level of at least 1.0 SD below the mean IGF-1 level standardized for age and sex (IGF-1 SDS ≤-1.0) according to the central laboratory reference values.
    7) Normal fundoscopy at Screening (without signs/symptoms of intracranial hypertension).
    8) Children with multiple hormonal deficiencies must be on stable replacement therapy (stable dose and normal blood hormone levels) for other hypothalamo-pituitary axes for at least 3 months. Thyroid replacement therapy for thyroid hormone deficiency must be instituted at least 6 months (and be stable for at least 3 months) prior to Screening. Temporary adjustment of glucocorticoid replacement therapy, as appropriate, is acceptable.
    9) Normal 46 XX karyotype for girls (results prior to Screening may be accepted).
    10) Written, signed informed consent of the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of the subject and written assent of the subject (if the subject is able to read, understand, and sign).
    1. Bambini in età prepuberale con GHD (isolato o parte di Deficit ormonale ipofisario multiplo) allo stadio 1 di Tanner, età:
    o Maschi: 3-12 anni, inclusi
    o Femmine: 3-11 anni, inclusi
    2. Deficit dell'altezza assoluta (HT) definita con una deviazione standard (DS) minima di 2.0 sotto l'altezza media per età cronologica e sesso (HT DS ≤-2,0) in base al "2000 CDC Growth Charts for the United States Methods and Development"
    3. BMI entro ± 2,0 SD della media BMI per età cronologica e sesso, secondo gli standard CDC 2000
    4. Diagnosi di GHD confermata da 2 differenti test di stimolazione del GH, definita da un picco del livello del GH ≤10 ng/mL, determinato con un test validato. Per sostituire 1 o entrambi i test di stimolazione del GH, potranno essere accettati uno o 2 esami precedenti ben documentati (con tempi di campionamento propriamente registrati e risultati dello stato tiroideo del soggetto ben documentati) effettuati nei 6 mesi precedenti lo screening. L'ammissibilità è data dal livello più alto di GH.
    5. Età ossea (BA) di almeno 6 mesi inferiore all'età cronologica (la radiografia potrà essere stata effettuata nei 6 mesi precedenti lo screening; la radiografia o l'immagine digitale deve essere inviata al lettore centrale).
    6. Livello baseline IGF-1 con una DS di almeno 1.0 al di sotto del livello medio IGF-1 standardizzato per età e sesso (IGF-1 SDS ≤-1.0) in base ai valori di riferimento del laboratorio centrale.
    7. Fundoscopia normale allo Screening (senza segni/sintomi di ipertensione endocranica).
    8. I bambini con carenze ormonali multiple devono seguire una terapia sostitutiva stabile (dose stabile e livelli di ormoni nel sangue nella norma) per gli altri assi ipotalamo- ipofisi, per almeno 3 mesi. La terapia sostitutiva per la carenza di ormone della tiroide deve essere cominciata almeno 6 mesi prima dello screening (e rimanere stabile per almeno 3 mesi). Se la terapia temporanea di sostituzione dei glucocorticoidi è adeguata, è accettabile.
    9. Cariotipo 46 XX normale per le ragazze (si accettano risultati precedenti allo screening).

    F.5 Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)
    All subjects who successfully complete this 52 week trial are invited to participate in an
    extension trial, for whom Visit 6 represents the first visit for the extension trial. This extension
    trial is to assess long-term safety and efficacy. Subjects on Genotropin treatment (Cohort 2) will
    switch over to TransCon hGH treatment.
    I soggetti saranno invitati a partecipare all'estensione della sperimentazione dopo il completamento del periodo iniziale di trattamento di 52 settimane. Lo scopo del periodo di estensione è quello di valutare la sicurezza e l'efficacia a lungo termine. I soggetti in trattamento con Genotropin (Coorte 2) saranno passati a trattamento con TransCon hGH per l'estensione dello studio.
