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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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
    To determine the dose-response signal and assess the dose-response relationship of LIK066 2.5mg, 10mg, and 50mg qd as measured by the change from baseline (BL) in NT-proBNP relative to placebo after 12 weeks of treatment in T2DM patients with HF.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    		 Change from Baseline in Body Weight at Weeks 12 and 36
    End point description
    Body weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg on a calibrated scale (weight and bio-impedance measurements), provided by the sponsor. Exceptionally (e.g. if the body weight exceeded the limits of the provided scale) sites were allowed to use another scale for weight measurement as available, but during the study the same scale was to be used for the same patient. The measurement was performed with the study patient in underwear and without shoes. Indoor clothing was also acceptable, but measurements were to be done consistently (either with underwear or with indoor clothing) throughout the study. Voiding before weight measurement was required. Pre-planned statistical analysis was not performed for this secondary endpoint due to early study termination. Only descriptive statistics are presented.

    Body composition was measured in all patients using bio-impedance, except in patients where it was contra-indicated, e.g. those using an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. Body composition parameters were assessed as available for the different models of calibrated bio-impedance scales. Pre-planned statistical analysis was not performed for this secondary endpoint due to early study termination. Only descriptive statistics are presented

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Sep 2017
    Amendment 1 introduced the following changes: - The protocol was amended to add a newly identified risk (lower limb amputation) observed with the SGLT-2 inhibitor canagliflozin, and preventive measures were provided. - The inclusion criterion for NT-proBNP was lowered from >400 to >300 pg/mL. When designing the study protocol, a NT-proBNP value of >400 pg/mL was selected to make a patient eligible for the study. This was based on the experience and results from the PARAMOUNT study, which included patients with chronic HF and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Based on more recent guidelines defining patients with preserved LVEF by NT-proBNP >125 pg/mL, the NT-proBNP value to qualify patients for this study was changed to >300 pg/mL, as this cut-off has a robust predictive value to identify chronic HF patients with preserved LVEF. - In addition, the inclusion criterion for serum potassium was changed from ≤ 5.2 mM to ≤ 5.3 mM to be in line with the reference range used by the Central laboratory in this study. - The HbA1c inclusion criterion was modified from 7.0% - 10.0% to 6.5% - 10.0% to allow for exploration of LIK066 effects in the group of patients with HbA1c 6.5% - 7.0%.
    04 Feb 2018
    Amendment 2 introduced the following changes: - The protocol was amended to provide the option for patients to be pre-screened for certain laboratory parameters (NT-proBNP, HbA1c, eGFR, serum potassium) assessed by the central laboratory before patients entered the study at screening (Visit 1). This measure was expected to significantly decrease the number of screen failure patients which reduces the burden on many patients, who otherwise had to undergo the full range of screening assessments but did not qualify for the study. - Other changes included adjustments and/or clarifications for several technical and logistical procedures, such as for body weight, bio-impedance and echocardiography assessments.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to early discontinuation of the study, the analysis of efficacy was done on the available data (mostly for Epoch 3 (double-blind period 1) only). Because of the small sample sizes the interpretation of the results remained limited.
