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   44393   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7405   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
    Primary Objective To investigate if a two-year course of TPTD followed by antiresorptive therapy with a single infusion of zoledronic acid (ZA) in adults with OI reduces the proportion of patients who experience a fracture as compared with standard care Secondary Objectives To investigate if a two-year course of TPTD followed by antiresorptive therapy with a single infusion of ZA in adults with OI reduces the total number of fractures, reduces the risk of vertebral fractures; or affects bone pain, quality of life and functional status as compared with standard care. Mechanistic Objective To understand which baseline characteristics of adults with OI, such as age, clinical subtype of OI, genetic diagnosis, bone turnover, BMD, and previous treatment influences the occurrence of fractures and/or the response to treatment
    Protection of trial subjects
    Specific measures were implemented to protect trial participants and minimise potential risk, pain, and distress. Participants randomised to the interventional arm received structured training by appropriately qualified healthcare professionals on the correct use of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) injection pen, including clear written and verbal instructions on administration and correct storage, including refrigeration requirements. Participant-completed injection pen diaries were used to support adherence and facilitate early identification of potential issues. A predefined safety monitoring plan was implemented and overseen by the study sponsor, with independent oversight provided by a Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). Prior to initiation of study medication, safety blood tests were performed to assess serum creatinine, serum calcium, albumin, serum total alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D measured where clinically indicated, to ensure there were no contraindications to teriparatide or bisphosphonate therapy. Participants were monitored for adverse events throughout the study and were free to withdraw at any time without impact on their standard clinical care.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    From 26th June 2017 to 16th February 2023 we recruited adults with a clinical diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta to the trial from 27 referral centres for bone disease located in five different countries. The distribution was UK (n=303, 87%), Republic of Ireland (n=10, 3%), Holland (n=9, 3%), France (n=10, 3%), and Denmark (n=18, 5%).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 792 subjects with osteogenesis imperfecta were identified. Of these, 361 (45.5%) consented and entered screening; 11 were not eligible due to failed or incomplete eligibility assessment, entry in error, or low body weight. Overall, 350 subjects were randomised (176 TPTD/ZA; 174 standard care). Study population reflects protocol criteria.

Bisphosphonates could be continued, stopped or started during the study at the discretion of the local investigator. Other bone modifying drugs could also be given at the discretion of the local investigator with the exception of teriparatide and investigational (experimental) agents with effects on bone metabolism

    TPTD 20mcg daily, given subcutaneously using a self-administered injection device for two years followed by a single intravenous infusion of ZA 5mg. If TPTD given for < 12 months no ZA infusion is required. Bisphosphonates, denosumab and strontium ranelate were stopped in the active treatment group at baseline and prohibited during treatment with TPTD since these may alter the therapeutic response to TPTD (18). Bisphosphonates were prohibited following treatment with ZA for at least 12 months to avoid over suppression of bone turnover.

    Interval censoring takes account of fractures identified at the end of study x-ray where the exact time of fracture is unknown. Fractures are known to have occurred at some point between baseline x-ray (or the last incidental x-ray date for those patients where the x-ray didn't result in a confirmed non-vertebral fracture) and end of study x-rays.
