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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    The primary objective of the Pharmacokinetics (PK) Lead-in Phase was to evaluate the steady state PK and confirm the dose of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in pediatric participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The primary objective of the Treatment Phase was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SOF/VEL for 12 weeks in pediatric participants with chronic HCV.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and consent/assent forms were submitted by each investigator to a duly constituted Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review and approval before study initiation. All revisions to the consent/assent forms (if applicable) after initial IEC/IRB approval were submitted by the investigator to the IEC/IRB for review and approval before implementation in accordance with regulatory requirements. This study was conducted in accordance with recognized international scientific and ethical standards, including but not limited to the International Conference on Harmonization guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) and the original principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    End point description
    Drug-resistant substitutions were analyzed as part of the Virology Study. Plasma samples were collected and stored for potential HCV sequencing. Impact on the treatment outcomes of SVR12 and SVR24 were observed during the study. Baseline deep sequencing of the HCV nonstructural protein (NS)5A and NS5B genes was performed for all participants at the first time point after virologic failure if the plasma or serum sample was available. Pretreatment full-length NS5A deep sequencing data were obtained at a 15% assay cutoff for the Resistance Analysis Population which covered all NS5A and NS5B nucleoside inhibitor (NI) resistance-associated variants (RAVs).

    Treatment Phase: Quality of Life (QoL) and Neuropsychiatric Assessments as Measured by PedsQL™ Pediatric QoL Survey
    End point description
    To evaluate the effect of treatment with SOF/VEL on general and disease-specific health-related QoL, the PedsQL™ Pediatric QoL Inventory V4.0 Short Form (SF15) was completed at Day 1 (baseline/BL), end of treatment (EOT), early termination (if applicable), and posttreatment Weeks (Wk) 12 (follow up-12/FU-12) and 24. The SF15 questionnaire represented 4 domains: physical, emotional, social, and school functioning, with the emotional, social, and school functioning domains representing the psychosocial health summary. Neuropsychiatric assessment was conducted using the PedsQL™ Pediatric QoL Inventory V4.0 SF15 psychosocial domain-related scores. Items were calculated and transformed into an overall score with a range of 0 to 100 points, with more points indicating better QoL. Participants in the Full Analysis Set with available data were analyzed.

    Treatment Phase: Changes in Growth and Development as Measured by Tanner Stage Assessment From Baseline
    End point description
    Tanner Pubertal Staging was assessed for pubic hair growth and genitalia development (males) and for pubic hair growth and breast development (females) in stages 1 to 5. Tanner stages were used to evaluate the onset and progression of pubertal changes from stage 1 (pre-pubertal) to stage 5 (adult). If a participant had reached Tanner stage 5, no further Tanner pubertal stage assessments were to be completed. Pubic hair growth: Tanner stages (1: No hair, 2: Downy hair, 3: More coarse and curly hair, 4: Adult-like hair quality; 5: Hair extends to the medial surface of the thighs); Breast development: Tanner stages (1: No glandular tissue, 2: Breast bud forms,3: More elevated, outside areola, 4: Increased breast size,5: Final adult-size breasts); Genitalia development: Tanner stages (1: Testes, scrotum, and penis about same size, 2: Enlargement of scrotum, testes and penis, 3: Enlargement of penis, 4: Penis size enlargement, 5: Genitalia adult in size and shape).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Sep 2016
    • Added clarification that all adverse events (AEs) were recorded with a focus on those AEs leading to study drug discontinuation for evaluation of the primary safety endpoint • Updated the SOF/VEL stopping criteria to align with the LDV/SOF and SOF laboratory stopping criteria in adult and pediatric clinical studies • Added eligibility criteria pertaining to liver enzymes and bilirubin to align with the exclusion criteria parameters in SOF/VEL adult clinical studies • Clarified that only the subject was required to complete the acceptability questionnaire at Day 1, but it may be completed by the parent or legal guardian if the subject is unable to read • Clarified that the Day 3 study visit was performed over the phone and the site assessed the subject’s dosing compliance by reviewing the dosing diary remotely with the subject, parent, or legal guardian • Added SOF/VEL Acceptability Questionnaire assessment to the early termination visit • Appendix 3 (Management of Clinical and Laboratory AEs) was removed due to a discrepancy in the protocol stopping rules within the protocol
    01 Dec 2016
    • Added serial hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA monitoring for any subject with hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb)-positive status at screening, per a US Food and Drug Administration Drug Safety Communication • Added formulation, packaging, labeling, storage, and handling information for the SOF/VEL 200/50 mg and placebo tablets
    31 Aug 2017
    • Added clinical pharmacology data and safety results from Cohort 1 from the PK lead-in phase supporting the dose for subjects 12 to < 18 years old (Group 1) in the treatment phase and dose determination for Cohort 2 (6 to < 12 years old) in the PK lead-in phase • Added an optional intensive PK substudy for adolescent subjects 12 to < 18 years old enrolled in the treatment phase at Weeks 4 or 8 to support development of the population PK model • Added additional time points to the intensive PK assessment for Cohort 3 (subjects 3 to < 6 years old) to support characterization of PK of all analytes in the youngest age group • Added clarification of the sparse PK sample at Weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12 • Added a second sparse PK sample at Weeks 4 and 8 for all enrolled subjects • Clarified that the non-tablet formulation information would be included in a future protocol amendment once it was available and would be submitted for approval prior to dosing of subjects • Added biomarker testing to align with the Gilead Sciences (Gilead) protocol template • Updated the dosing instructions in the case of vomiting to align with the SOF/VEL label • Updated the background information to include Studies GS-US-342-1553 and GS US 342 1146 since both of these studies were not included in the SOF/VEL investigator’s brochure (IB)
    15 Jun 2018
    • Added clinical pharmacology data from Cohort 2 from the PK lead-in phase supporting the dose for subjects 3 to < 6 years old (Cohort 3) in the PK lead-in phase • Added dosing instructions for subjects 3 to < 6 years old • Added information on the oral granule formulation, including the dose for each age group and dosing instructions • Added subject dosing diary for subjects who were administered oral granules • Clarified dosing instructions for subjects 6 to < 12 years old • Clarified collection of parental height • Clarified requirements for the complete and symptom-directed physical examinations • Updated the disallowed and concomitant medication table to align with the table in the SOF/VEL FDC IB (Edition 5.0; dated 12 December 2017) • Updated the list of PK parameters to align with regulatory commitments • Updated the schedule of assessments for consistency
