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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the safety of apixaban, compared to VKA or subcutaneous LMWH and to evaluate apixaban PK in pediatric subjects with congenital or acquired heart disease requiring chronic anticoagulation for thromboprophylaxis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial participants were followed.

    		 Composite of Adjudicated Major or Clinically Relevant Non-Major (CRNM) Bleeding Events [1]
    End point description
    The number of participants with adjudicated major or CRNM bleeding events per the Perinatal and Paediatric Haemostasis Subcommittee of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) criteria. Events are adjudicated by a blinded, independent events adjudication committee (EAC). Major bleeding satisfies one or more of the following criteria: fatal bleeding, clinically overt bleeding associated with a decrease in hemoglobin of at least 20 g/L (i.e., 2 g/dL) in a 24-hour period, bleeding that is retroperitoneal, pulmonary, intracranial, or otherwise involves the CNS, or bleeding that requires surgical intervention in an operating suite, including interventional radiology. CRNM bleeding satisfies one or both of the following criteria: overt bleeding for which blood product is administered and not directly attributable to the subject’s underlying medical condition or bleeding that requires medical or surgical intervention to restore hemostasis, other than in an operating room.

    End point description
    Subjects' quality of life was measured using the PedsQL instrument administered only to English-speaking children/parents. Only subjects who completed the questionnaires at both baseline and post-baseline visits were included in the analyses. PedsQL consists of 23 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always) or for the child report for younger children ages 5-7, a 3-point Likert scale: 0 (Not at all), 2 (Sometimes), and 4 (A lot). Scores are reverse scored and transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 3=25, 4=0. Higher scores indicate a better HRQOL and/or lower problems.

    End point description
    Subjects' quality of life was measured using the KIDCLOT instrument administered only to English-speaking children/parents. Only subjects who completed the questionnaires at both baseline and post-baseline visits were included in the analyses. KIDCLOT Parent inventory uses a 5 point Likert scale from 1 (N/A), 2 (Never), 3 (Rarely), 4 ( Now and then), 5 (Often). Child inventory uses a 4 point Likert scale 1 (N/A), 2 (Never), 3 (Now and then), 5 (Always). Values are scores as follows 1=0, 2=1, 3=2, 4=3, 5=4. Score interpretation is 0 to 100 percent IMPACT of anticoagulation on a child's life therefore, higher scores indicates a more negative effect.

    		 Participants receive thromboprophylaxis with Vitamin K Antagonists (VKA) or Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) for up to 12 months or until the need for anticoagulant is resolved, whichever occurs first. Participants who receive LMWH are allowed to switch to VKA at any time during the study; conversely, participants having difficulty with VKA may switch to LMWH.

    Reporting group description
    		 Participants receive thromboprophylaxis with open-label apixaban for up to 12 months or until the need for anticoagulant is resolved, whichever occurs first. Participants weighing between >/= 3 and < 35 kg will be administered apixaban twice daily (BID) in doses between 0.2mg and 4 mg depending on body weight. Children randomized to the apixaban arm of the study weighing >/= 35 kg will be administered apixaban 5 mg twice daily (BID).
