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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 safety and efficacy of different palovarotene dosing regimens to prevent heterotopic ossification (HO) following a flare-up in participants with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). Efficacy will be based on the ability of palovarotene to prevent HO as assessed by low-dose whole body computed tomography (WBCT) scan, excluding head. 99999 is "not applicable" value. As this study is a country-specific protocol (France) of PVO-1A-202 study, the safety and efficacy results were reported in PVO-1A-202 study (2014-002496-28).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The clinical study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, inclusive of any subsequent amendment(s), and that are consistent with the International Council for Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice (E6), European Union Directive 2001/20/EC, United States Food and Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations, and other applicable local regulatory requirements, which ever affords the greater participant protection.

    Arm description
    All eligible participants from Part A of PVO-1A-202 study were enrolled in this study to receive palovarotene 5 milligram (mg) once daily for up to 24 months (weight-adjusted doses for skeletally immature participants). Participants with flare-ups received palovarotene 20 mg once daily for 4 weeks followed by 10 mg once daily for 8 weeks. All weight-based dosing was ceased when participants were skeletally mature, but radiographic assessment of the growth plate continued until these participants achieved 100% skeletal maturity at both knee and hand/wrist locations.

    The ROM was assessed by the Investigator using Cumulative Analogue Joint Involvement Scale. It includes 12 joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle on both the right and left sides), and 3 body regions (jaw, cervical spine [neck], and thoracic/lumbar spine). Each joint/region was assessed as: 0=uninvolved; 1=partially involved; and 2=completely ankylosed. The total score range is 0 (no involvement) to 30 (maximally involved). Higher scores indicates worst outcome.

A T-score of 50 is normal and increments of 10 are +/- standard deviation away from the norm. A T-score <50 indicates worse health, while a T-score >50 indicates better health.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    07 Sep 2016
    Specified that Adult Cohort participants under the age of 18 years are to receive weight-adjusted doses of 20 mg palovarotene (for 28 days) and 10 mg palovarotene (for 56 days) during a flare-up. Added an electrocardiogram assessment on Flare-up Day 7 (Week 1).
    22 Mar 2018
    Blood sampling for pharmacokinetic analysis added during chronic dosing for all participants. Participants receiving weight-adjusted dosing for non-flare-up based treatment changed from “participants under the age of 18 years” to “skeletally immature participants.” The Investigator will be notified about any protocol-specified safety laboratory test that could not be obtained despite at least two attempts. Included a reference to and description of the PVO-1A-301 Bone Safety Management Plan and additional safety assessments to be followed in this study. Added that if the study is closed due to safety concerns, then all participants exposed to the investigational drug will be followed for safety with the length of follow-up determined based on the safety risk.
    08 Mar 2019
    Changed the timing of clinical laboratory assessments during non-flare-up based treatment from every 3 months to every 6 months. Blood volumes were adjusted to reflect the change. Changed the timing of clinical laboratory assessments, Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale, vital signs, and body weight determination during a Flare-Up Cycle. Noted that flare-up based dosing should be initiated if the Investigator confirms the presence of a substantial, high-risk traumatic event likely to lead to a flare-up.
    31 Oct 2019
    Added radiographic assessments of the knee and hand/wrist to be performed every 3 months in those participants who (1) received the flare-up dosing regimen in the period of time since their last radiographic assessment; and (2) had not achieved 100% skeletal maturity on their last radiographic assessment. Added 6-month radiographic assessments of the knee and hand/wrist in skeletally immature participants. During flare-up dosing, safety assessments will recur every 12 weeks (instead of every 8 weeks) after Flare-up Cycle Safety Day 1 until treatment of the last flare-up or traumatic event in the cycle is completed. The 4-week safety assessment will no longer be performed.
    18 Dec 2020
    References to Parts B/C/D are to PVO-1A-202 Parts B/C/D which corresponds to PVO-1A-204, ongoing in France. Part D was added for skeletally immature participants who stopped taking study medication for any reason before completion of Part A/B/C. In Part C, participants may continue on the study for up to an additional 12 months. Added assessments for spinal health carried out on low dose WBCT scans collected in the study.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    04 Dec 2019
    As of 04 December 2019, all participants <14 years of age were required to interrupt study drug due to a partial clinical hold placed on the palovarotene clinical development program by the FDA. On 24-Jan-2020, treatment was temporarily halted in all participants over the age of 14 years in the palovarotene FOP trials including PVO-1A-202/204 when the futility boundary was crossed at an interim analysis in the Phase 3 PVO-1A-301 study. After post-hoc analyses showed that the pre-specified analyses may have skewed and negatively affected the results, dosing was re-initiated only in participants 14 years and above that were able and willing to re-start treatment (in the context of COVID-19 conditions, starting 04 June 2020).
