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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine the safety and efficacy of ACH-0144471 (danicopan) in currently untreated participants with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. After 12 weeks of treatment, participants deriving clinical benefit were offered enrollment in a separate long-term extension study (ACH471-103, 2017-000665-79).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles outlined in the 2013 (Fortaleza, Brazil) revision of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) as required by the International Council of Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines, applicable regional and local laws legislation in the USA, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place.

    Recruitment details
    Participants were evaluated for eligibility. A window of up to 60 days was permitted to allow screening followed by any required vaccinations.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    In Part 1, participants received danicopan (100 or 150 mg TID) for 28 days. A dose increase up to 175 mg TID (N=8 participants) and 200 mg TID (N=4 participants) was conducted.

    End point description
    An AE was as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An SAE was an AE that met at least 1 of the following criteria: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization for the AE, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug), important medical event or reaction. The intensity of an AE was graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Adverse Event Severity Grading Table. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in the Adverse Events section.
