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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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
    The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of givosiran (ALN-AS1) in AIP patients who completed study ALN-AS1-001.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The Investigator ensured that each patient was provided full an adequate oral and written information about the nature, purpose, and possible risk and benefit of the study. The patient was also notified that they were free to discontinue the study at any time. The patient was given the opportunity to ask questions and was allowed time to consider the information provided. The patient's signed and dated IRB/IEC-approved informed consent was obtained before any study procedures were conducted. The Investigator maintained the original signed ICF, and a copy was given to the patient. All active patients signed an updated ICF if revisions were made to the ICF during the course of the study.

    Annualized Rate of Composite Porphyria Attacks
    End point description
    Porphyria attacks were defined as meeting all of the following criteria: an acute episode of neurovisceral pain in the abdomen, back, chest, extremities and/or limbs, no other medically determined cause, and required treatment with intravenous (IV) dextrose or hemin, carbohydrates, or analgesics, or other medications such as antiemetics at a dose or frequency beyond the participant's usual daily porphyria management. Composite porphyria attacks included porphyria attacks that required hospitalization, urgent healthcare visit, or intravenous (IV) hemin administration at home. The annualized attack rate (AAR) was calculated as the number of composite porphyria attacks/total person-years. SAS: All patients who received any amount of study drug.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Nov 2016
    Amendment 1 - The primary purpose for this protocol amendment is to clarify that based on review of data from the ongoing ALN-AS1-001 study, the Safety Review Committee (SRC) has determined the study starting dose and dosing regimen for administration in study ALN-AS1-002 is to be 5.0 mg/kg administered every 3 months. Additionally, minor changes were made to schedules of assessment to increase consistency and clarity.
    01 Dec 2016
    Amendment 2 - The primary purpose of this amendment is to implement additional safety monitoring; specifically to require lipase monitoring and review of recent clinical laboratory results prior to dosing. These changes are being made in accordance with the study's Safety Review Committee recommendation pursuant to an unlikely related SAE of hemorrhagic pancreatitis with fatal outcome. Additionally, out of date text describing the nonclinical and clinical experience with ALN-AS1 has been removed and replaced with a reference to the current Investigator's Brochure, which has been updated to include a description of the aforementioned unlikely related fatal SAE.
    03 Feb 2017
    Amendment 3 - The purpose of this amendment is to update the risk-benefit assessment of the study protocol to align with the current Investigator's Brochure, to add regular monitoring of prothrombin time (PT), International Normalized Ratio (INR), and c-reactive protein (CRP), and to clarify the timing of the review of clinical laboratory assessments prior to scheduled dosing.
    02 Aug 2017
    Amendment 4 - This protocol is being amended to update the electrocardiogram (ECG) assessments to obtain triplicate 12-lead ECGs using central equipment and paired with plasma PK at times corresponding to nominal maximum concentration (Cmax). Also, Schedule of Assessments footnotes and related text were updated to define the visit range in which previously noted predose interpretation of hematology, coagulation, and chemistry test results are required.
    03 May 2018
    Amendment 5 - The purpose of the amendment is to: Include clinical data on a single case of anaphylactic reaction, information regarding the potential risk for anaphylactic reactions, and provide updated guidance for dosing and monitoring. The event of anaphylactic reaction was previously reported to applicable regulatory authorities and Institutional Review Boards/Ethics Committees. Benefit-Risk Assessment modified to align with potential risks in the Investigator’s Brochure. Information on reproductive health moved to Contraceptive Requirements and cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibition moved to Concomitant Medications. Update guidance and procedures on patient withdrawal from study. Schedule of Assessments footnotes were updated to: Update end of study visit, early termination visit, and safety follow-up visit timing and assessments. Clarify clinical laboratory testing required prior to dosing. Clarify timing of ECG assessments for patients administered ≤ 2.5 mg/kg and >2.5 mg/kg ALN-AS1 provide the following clarifications: o patient withdrawal details regarding subsequent visits and data collection o definition of sexual abstinence o contraception with an intrauterine hormone-releasing system also requires use of a barrier method
    28 May 2019
    Amendment 6 - The primary purpose for this protocol amendment is to provide updated information from a recently completed drug-drug interaction study (ALN-AS1-004) performed in acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) patients who are asymptomatic high excreters in the concomitant medications section. The results of the study indicated that ALN-AS1 treatment resulted in moderate reduction in CYP1A2 and CYP2D6 activity, weak reduction in CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 activity, and no change in the activity of CYP2C9. This amendment also extends the treatment period to 48 months to continue the study until ALN-AS1 is anticipated to be commercially available in the countries where the study sites are located. Additional updates are being implemented as noted below: clarification that patients may continue to receive ALN-AS1 until it is commercially available in the patient’s territory, addition of guidance for serious breaches of protocol, and deletion of Section 11.3, List of Sensitive CYP3A substrates and those with a Narrow Therapeutic Range.
    29 Apr 2020
    Amendment 7 - The purpose of this protocol amendment is to incorporate Urgent Safety Measures (USMs) that were communicated to investigators in a Dear Investigator Letter to assure the safety of study participants while minimizing risks to study integrity amid the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes are in line with guidance from both the European Medicines Agency and the United States Food and Drug Administration on the conduct of clinical trials during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    29 Mar 2021
    Amendment 8 - The purpose of this protocol amendment is to recommend testing of blood homocysteine levels. In addition, it is recommended that patients with increased blood homocysteine levels receive a supplement containing vitamin B6. These recommendations are being made because during ALN-AS1 treatment, increases in blood homocysteine levels have been observed compared to levels before ALN-AS1 treatment. Thus, monitoring for changes in blood homocysteine levels during treatment with ALN-AS1 has been incorporated into the protocol. Blood homocysteine levels may also be increased in patients with acute hepatic porphyria (AHP), vitamin deficiencies, or chronic kidney disease. The clinical relevance of the elevations in blood homocysteine during ALN-AS1 treatment is unknown.
