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
    The primary objective is to evaluate safety and tolerability of 12 weeks treatment of oral BI 1467335 compared to placebo in patients with moderately severe to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) without center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME) and secondary to explore the efficacy of BI 1467335 on improvement of diabetic retinopathy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all patients as required.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A study evaluated safety and tolerability of 12-week treatment of oral BI 1467335 compared to placebo in patients with moderately severe to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy without center-involved diabetic macular edema and explored the efficacy of BI 1467335 on improvement of diabetic retinopathy.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline characteristics are based on patients who were randomised after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one dose of the trial medication.

    7-field or modified 4-field digital fundus photographs was obtained from both eyes by a qualified person according to the imaging manual to collect all data for the assessment of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS). The images was sent to the independent central reading center who performs the grading on the basis of the DRSS. The DRSS ranges from level 10 (Diabetic retinopathy absent) to level 85 (advanced proliferative Diabetic retinopathy). Full analysis set (FAS): the FAS consists of all the patients who were randomized, treated with at least one dose of BI 1467335/placebo and have baseline and one on-treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale assessment.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Jan 2018
    - Descriptive analysis of the secondary efficacy endpoint was added because the number of patients with at least 2-step improvement in Diabetic retinopathy Screened set (DRSS) by Week 12 could be too small for adequate statistical modelling (which had been planned in the original clinical trial protocol). - Upon request by the health authorities, changes were made to Inclusion Criteria 1 and 3, Exclusion criteria 1 and 15, the rules for withdrawal from trial treatment, and restrictions regarding concomitant treatment were made. Furthermore, rescreening of patients based on the changed inclusion/exclusion criteria was allowed. - Fasting prior to drug administration and prior to study visits was no longer required, as data from trail 1386.17 had shown that Bi 1467335 could be given with or without food.
    20 Mar 2018
    - The drug profile, benefit-risk assessment, Exclusion Criterion 7, and restrictions regarding concomitant treatment and diet/life style were updated, as BI 1467335 had been demonstrated in vitro to be an irreversible inhibitor of MAO-B. - Use of the Heidelberg Optical coherence tomography (OCT) device was allowed (as an alternative to the OptoVue device) and the consistent use of the same device by a given patient throughout the trial was emphasized. - The treatment with aflibercept (Eylea®) or ranibizumab (Lucentis®) in the fellow eye was allowed during the trial.
    01 Aug 2018
    - It was stated that the screening visit should be split into 2 parts, when possible, to account for the high probability of patients failing screening due to DRSS grading. - Food and diet precautions were modified. - Upon request by the healthy authorities, bupropion, triptans, linezolide, tedizolid, methylene blue, lithium, and pethidine were added as restricted concomitant treatments and a section regarding gamete donation was introduced.
    11 Apr 2019
    - The number of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic sampling was reduced in order to reduce the burden on patients. - A sentence describing a potential sensitivity analysis excluding observations obtained after the start of rescue medication was removed, as no such rescue medication had been defined.
