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 efficacy of oral DFD-29 (minocycline 20 mg and 40 mg capsules) in comparison to placebo in the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea for 16 weeks. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral DFD-29 (minocycline HCL 40mg capsules) in comparison to placebo in the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea for 16 weeks.

    Background therapy
    NA
    Evidence for comparator
    Although there are multiple therapeutic options available for the treatment of papulopustular rosacea, the most widely used systemic agents are oral tetracycline derivatives, particularly doxycycline and minocycline. Oraycea® (doxycycline 40 mg capsules) was chosen as comparator as it has been approved in the US and the EU for the treatment of papulopustular rosacea. A placebo group was required in order to differentiate any investigational drug effect from any improvement that could occur solely due to the close care and medical oversight given to patients under trial conditions.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    205 male and female subjects over the age of 18 diagnosed with papulopustular rosacea were recruited across 17 sites in Germany. Fist patient first visit occured on 26 September 2017 and the last patient was recruited 10 July 2018.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects had to be diagnosed with of papulopustular rosacea, IGA grade 2 - 4 had to fulfill the following main criteria: 1. 10 - 40 (both inclusive) inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) of rosacea over the face. 2. not more than 2 nodules 3. moderate to severe erythema with a total score of 5 - 20 on the CEA scale 4. good general health

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Only subjects that succesfully completed the Screening period were assigned to a treatment, and randomized (enrolled). However, all subjects that underwent screening assessments signed an informed consent

    Blinding implementation details
    There were no differences between DFD-29 (40mg and 20mg), Oraycea (40mg) capsules and placebo capsules in shape, size, colour or weight. The manufacturing organization was strictly independent from the sponsor’s activities. No accidental unblinding by laboratory measurements was possible.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    After Baseline, all new findings or worsening of a pre-existing finding (if considered clinically significant) had to be reported as Adverse event. Data pertaining to AEs were collected during each study visit.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    At each study visit, the Investigator asked a general question, e.g."Have you experienced any other/new health problems since your last visit?" Furthermore, clinically significant findings of the physical examination, vital signs, ECG, laboratory assessments and Urinalysis were considered AEs.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    29 May 2017
    The 4 treatment arms in the study were changed from 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg DFD-29 (minocycline HCL) and placebo to 20 mg and 40 mg DFD-29 (minocycline HCl), 40 mg Oraycea® (doxycycline) and placebo. In addition to the changes stated below, minor typographic errors have been corrected.
    01 Aug 2017
    The Study medication label was updated with regard to the amount contained in a bottle, contact information, storage conditions and overall information content of the label. Instead of Annex 13 to the Current Edition of the Good Manufacturing Practices Guidelines Drugs Used in Clinical Trials (GUI-0036) GCP guideline is followed.
    26 Feb 2018
    Some of the available study medication kits are expiring on July 31st 2018 and stratification of the randomization per site and IGA score resulted in a high number of kits to be stored at the individual study sites. In order to be able to use up the study medication kits with limited stability, the amount of kits on site needs to be reduced thus the stratification by IGA score is dropped.
